.03///Starry-Eyed

4 years later...

Hyoyeon opened her eyes as pain creeped in her head, causing her to have a headache. The sounds of metal clashing against metal and the eruption of shouts could be heard outside, and Hyoyeon was getting sick of it, literally.

"Oh Hyoyeon~"

Great, more chaos ensues.

She glared at her master, who was unfazed and still smirking. Suddenly, her expression turned cold. "Daddy wants to see you."

What does he want?

Every single time she saw Master Jung, she thought of the time when he killed her parents. That bloody knife in his hand, his disgustingly adorable voice, and his wicked smile symbolized evil.

Hyoyeon nodded and left the room, going to the other side of the palace, which was where Master Jung's office was located. As she took a stroll inside the gigantic palace, the headache worsened once she heard the clinking of metal.

She finally stood outside the door, but she hesitated before knocking. "Come in," Master Jung's voice rang.

Okay, I can do this.

Hyoyeon opened the door, stepping in the room. Master Jung smiled and welcomed Hyoyeon.

"Hyoyeon, there is something important I have to tell you."

Well, this is different.
=============================================
This is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do as a knight.

Sooyoung looked up at the large palace in front of her. She and the other knights were going to invade this place.

Two knights approached Sooyoung, their swords out and ready to fight. Sooyoung narrowed her eyes and whipped out her sword from behind. One knight made the first move on Sooyoung, but she blocked herself with both her shield and sword. There was no way she could take on two knights, not now. She had one goal to do.

Two other knights fought alongside Sooyoung. One of them gave her a look for her to carry on with their plan. Sooyoung nodded and, along with the five other knights, barged into the palace.

Servants and slaves stared at them, their mouths agape and running all over the place.

Sooyoung and the knights split up into various sections of the palace, the enemy's knights popping up out of nowhere. Sooyoung was thankful she had prepared herself earlier.

She punctured the knight in the heart, pulling out the sword from his blood-stained chest. "Aish, my sword's covered in blood." she muttered, putting her sword in its case and walking down the long hall with another knight following her.

"Soo, I see something." the knight said, pointing at an object. "Ah, really?" Sooyoung replied in her deep voice, looking at the object.

JESSICA.

Sooyoung paused and looked at the nameplate on the door frame.

She must be Jung's daughter.

She turned the doorknob, which wouldn't budge. Sooyoung sighed as she stepped back and kicked the door.

She noticed two girls. One had an icy expression and gripping onto the other girl, who seemed to be a slave.

"You're coming with us," the leader growled, grabbing Jessica's arm. "Soo, get the slave."

Sooyoung looked at him, confused. "But, sir, this is not what we had planned."

The leader gave her a look, and Sooyoung gulped. "Yes sir." she obliged and grabbed the slave's wrist, who winced. She looked down and realized it was covered in bruises.

This is terrible...who would do such a thing?

She wrapped the slave's arm around her shoulder. "Now listen to me," she directed. "We're going to get you out of here. All you have to do is run." The slave nodded, a smile brightening her features.

She's such a beautiful girl, she doesn't deserve to be in such a terrible environment.

They ran, following the leader. Sooyoung took a shortcut outside of the palace to avoid the chaotic mess outside. The leader also took a different shortcut as well.

The duo reached the village, the leader and Jessica following after them. She carefully removed Hyoyeon's arm from her shoulder.

"Soo, I need you to take her with you and your friends." The leader ordered, bringing the icy girl towards Sooyoung. "Okay, sir." she replied, grabbing her by the wrist.

"Take care of the captives during our battle, okay?" "Yes sir," Sooyoung smiled and gave a thumbs up. "I will." The leader sped off towards the region.

"Why the hell are we here?" Jessica snapped. Sooyoung ignored her question; she was definitely keeping the slave. "You'll be staying with one of my friends." she stated, knocking on the door.

"Sooyoung, back so soon?" Yuri raised an eyebrow as she answered the door. "Yuri, this is Jessica." Sooyoung introduced. "We captured her and the slave...uh, what's your name?" She looked at the slave.

"Her name is Hyoyeon," Jessica replied with a scoff. "She's mute, so she can't speak. How pathetic."

Hyoyeon bit her lip, and Sooyoung turned to glare at Jessica. "Anyway," she refrained from yelling at the girl. "She'll be staying with you and Yoong for a while."

Yuri smiled. "I'm fine with that."

Good.

"Thanks, Yul." Sooyoung gave a sheepish smile. "No problem." Yuri welcomed the icy girl into the home and closed the door.

Meanwhile, Sooyoung took Hyoyeon to her own small home, which wasn't too far from Yuri and Yoona's. She entered the house and let Hyoyeon enter first, who was amazed.

"Please sit." Sooyoung directed, and Hyoyeon obeyed. "Give me your hand," Hyoyeon looked at her, still afraid. "Don't worry, I'm not going to harm you." Sooyoung smiled, taking Hyoyeon's hand.

"I'm here to save you."

My Vengeful Savior-.02///Surrender

2010-08-03T01:17:00.000-05:00

.02///Surrender

Hyoyeon stared at the wall on the opposite side of the dark room as if it was a block. She didn't know what she was doing in this empty room anyway; there was nothing productive to do but just simply stare into space.

She wanted her parents.

Earlier, she was seperated from them and thrown into this cold room. Hyoyeon looked at the bruises on her arms and legs. She clenched her jaw in anger and her eyes darted over to the door right next to her.

What am I doing here anyway?

Being trapped in a room made her feel uncomfortable.

I wonder what Mother and Father are doing right now...

"Don't kill her!"

The sudden shout came from her mother. Hyoyeon froze.

Kill her? What's Mother talking about?

"Your daughter is mute! She's a useless slave! She deserves it!" A man roared at the top of his lungs. Hyoyeon shuddered; they were talking about her. Not only did she practically shiver that the man was going to kill her, but she recognized his voice.

Master Jung was the head of the region and the master of the slaves. Hyoyeon never knew his first name, but she did know he had a daughter who was the same age as her.

And right now, he wants to kill her.

"I won't let you." Hyoyeon snapped out of her trance and continued eavesdropping. She heard Master Jung clear his throat. "Okay then," he started. "I won't do it." Her parents sighed with relief.

Master Jung chuckled and continued, "I will kill you instead!"

She suddenly heard screaming and an eruption of laughter later. Suddenly, the door flew open, and Master Jung stood in front of her with an evil grin on his face. His clothes were bloodstained, and the knife he held in his left hand was covered in blood.

"Come Hyoyeon," he instructed in a sickengly sweet tone. "I'm going to introduce you to your new master."

Hyoyeon obliged, following Master Jung to one of his sections of the big palace. They reached a narrow door with the name printed, "JESSICA" on it.

Ah, so that's his daughter.

He opened the door, walking in on his daughter, who almost jumped.

"FATHER! Don't scare me like-" Jessica stared at Hyoyeon with a confused facial expression. Hyoyeon just glared at her; she could already tell that she wasn't going to like this girl.

She was right.

"Daddy, I don't like this girl."

I never liked you.

"You're going to have to deal with it, Jessica," her father sighed. "She's your new slave." Jessica paused for a minute.

"My slave?" Master Jung nodded. "Fine," She smiled. "At least I can make her do something productive that I don't want to do."

Why me?

Hyoyeon wanted to scream and run away, but she couldn't. All she could simply do was run, but she remembered the knife in Master Jung's hand and her parents.

Mother, Father...

She never expected her parents to be killed. Never. They lived a very happy life as citizens until the entire region was taken over by Master Jung. When he took control, Hyoyeon and her parents were automatically slaves.

I miss you...

She clenched her jaw in frustration. First, her parents' death, now she had a new master, and she was even worse than Master Jung himself.

"I shall leave." Master Jung left the room, closing the door behind him. Jessica smirked and asked, "So you're the mute slave, Kim Hyoyeon if I'm correct, right?" Hyoyeon simply nodded.

"I'm going to have a lot of fun with you, Hyoyeon."
=======================================================
Hyoyeon heard various noises outside, and it annoyed her.

She knew about the other region that was going to battle them. She heard about the new knight, Kim Taeri. She wanted to escape and go with them. But it was hopeless. How was she supposed to leave with them? She would be killed.

"Yah!" Jessica called. Hyoyeon turned around. "Get me fruit from the kitchen." Hyoyeon let out a huff, walking towards the kitchen.

Once again, she asked herself why she was put in this position. From being a happy young girl, to being a slave, and to being alone.

She grabbed a banana and headed back to Jessica's room, who was too busy writing random stories. She looked up and smiled, "Now that's a good girl."

Hyoyeon just gave a slight nod and sat down in a chair, waiting for more demands.

As Jessica was writing, Hyoyeon thought about a hero. The definition of heroes and saviors suddenly popped in her mind.

She wished that a knight would break into this trapped prison, save her, and take her to their peaceful region.

Peace. That was her wish. Peace and happiness.

However, she knew no one was going to save her.

But she had a gut feeling that in the future, someone will fufill her wish.

.01///Rebellion

Sooyoung should have known that asking her parents if she could begin training as a knight would be a mistake.

"Why not?" she asked sternly, her lips taut and pale. "You let Taeyeon do it!" She let out a heavy sigh. This wasn't the first time she asked her parents for permission; she waited each week, and then she would question them.

"Sooyoung, we don't want you to be harmed." her mother replied. Sooyoung looked at her father, but he nodded in agreement. "Taeyeon may have taught you all of those techniques, but you shall forget about them."

Sooyoung didn't understand. Taeyeon was her sister after all, she was the only person Sooyoung looked up to. Normally, she would let something like this go, but she couldn't take it anymore. She had to speak up.

"Why?" she questioned, her fists clenched. Her father let out a small sigh and muttered angrily, "You're not going to train as a knight, Sooyoung. End of story. Now leave."

"Fine, I will." Sooyoung snarled, pushing the door open as she exited the room. She headed straight for the kitchen, searching for nothing in particular.

"It didn't work, huh?" A girl with black hair asked, giving a sympathetic look. Sooyoung shook her head, grabbing a bottle of water. "I'm not going to give up though." The girl chuckled. "What's so funny Kwon Yuri?" Sooyoung raised an eyebrow. Yuri just shook her head in response.

"It's nothing," Yuri paused before continuing. "You do realize you can train without your parents noticing, right?"

Sooyoung almost coughed drinking her water. "Are you crazy?"

"Listen, you want to become a knight because the enemies killed Taeyeon, right?" Sooyoung slowly nodded. "Then just train, I'll cover for you." "Are you sure Yuri? You know there are servants around..." she whispered the last part as she noticed a few servants strolling by the kitchen. "Oh, I know," Yuri replied, smirking. "You know I come up with the perfect lies."

"Thanks Yul, I knew I could count on you." Sooyoung smiled. "No problem." Yuri giggled. "So, when are you planning on training?"

"I'm going to train tomorrow," Sooyoung replied. "Wish me luck." "Don't worry you'll do well," she looked up at the clock. "Looks like I have to go. Yoong is so going to prank me once I get home." She huffed and waved goodbye to Sooyoung, who was laughing. "Bye Yul!"

"Good luck!" Yuri shouted to Sooyoung, exiting the home afterwards.

Yuri has been Sooyoung's friend since they were ten. Yuri felt terrible when she found out that Taeyeon passed away, but she helped Sooyoung feel better and told her never to give up like Taeyeon had told Sooyoung before she left for battle.

In other words, Yuri was like Sooyoung's second older sister even though they were two months apart. She also had a younger sister named Yoona, who loves to joke around and play pranks. She also lived in a seperate home with Yoona, but they would visit their parents' house regularly, which wasn't too far away from them.

A knot formed in Sooyoung's stomach as she slept that night. She couldn't believe she was doing this, but it was for Taeyeon.

Yuri, I hope you come up with something good for tomorrow...
========================================================================
4 years later...

"So, how does it feel to turn nineteen, Almighty Knight?" Yuri teased. "It feels great," Sooyoung replied as she gulped down the last of her birthday cake. "Ah, I'm so full."

Ever since the day when Sooyoung started training with one of Taeyeon's former trainers, Yuri covered for her. Surprisingly, Sooyoung's parents and the servants were oblivious since they were too busy with their own activities.

Tomorrow, Sooyoung was to leave home and get prepared to go to the enemy's region. Her eyes narrowed at the sudden mention of the battle. She wasn't nervous since this was her fourth battle, but something about this battle was special; she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Are you going to miss home?" Yuri's voice interrupted her thoughts, making her jump. "Yeah," she said, already reminiscing the old times as usual. "You should come with me." she suggested. Yuri shrugged. "I don't know, Sooyoung-" "You can bring Yoong with you," Sooyoung interrupted. "You two can stay in a nearby village." Yuri hesitated before making her decision, "Okay, it will be a good experience."

Sooyoung grinned. "Alright, tell Yoong about this, and I'll come over to your house at 3 AM as we are set to leave a few minutes later." Yuri laughed, nodding. "Okay, Almighty Knight."

Sooyoung dreamt about Taeyeon for the billionth time that night. Her dreams always contained Taeyeon's words, teachings, and various things they used to do when they were kids. Sooyoung was still amazed how she survived all these battles. In one of the dreams, Taeyeon had told Sooyoung that she wished her good luck for the upcoming battle, but she will experience something new during this battle.

Sooyoung shot up, turned on the lamp, and looked at the clock.

1:35 AM.

That was odd...what on Earth is Taeyeon talking about? Oh well, I should get ready.

Sooyoung opened the closet door, searching for her knight uniform. It took her a while to get dressed in her uniform. By that time, it was 2:45 AM. She had to get to Yuri's house quickly. She grabbed her tools, turned off the lights, and snuck out of the house.

"Kim Sooyoung, where do you think you're going?" Sooyoung groaned as the lights to the main hall were suddenly flicked on. She looked at the door.

So close...

"I'm leaving." she simply retorted, giving her father a stern look. "I have to leave, Father. Tell Mother I said goodbye."

With that, she left, heading over to Yuri's house. She didn't care about what her parents thought, what mattered the most was battling those other knights.

She saw Yuri and Yoona standing outside of their home, already packed. "I see you two are ready." Sooyoung said with a chuckle. "Of course, unnie," Yoona replied. "We're always prepared." "Whatever Yoong." Sooyoung stuck out her tongue.

"Let's go, they're waiting for us." She noticed the crowd of other knights and citizens prepared for their leave.

While they were heading to one of the villages, Sooyoung thought about the dream she had earlier. It was quite weird. The majority of the dreams she had was Taeyeon telling her about love. Then again, it was a dream.

"Ah, here's one of the villages!" Sooyoung pointed. "It's closer to the region, so Yuri, you and Yoong can stay here." "Unnie, it looks nice!" Yoona shouted. "Good luck Sooyoung." Yuri whispered, hugging Sooyoung before she ran off with Yoona.

Sooyoung waved goodbye before continuing the short walk. "Okay guys, you know what to do," Sooyoung put on her helmet, grabbing her sword. "Let's have a successful battle." The leader looked at Sooyoung and smiled. Sooyoung gave a slight nod.

It was time.

My Vengeful Savior-.00///The Beginning

2010-08-03T01:14:00.000-05:00

.00//The Beginning

Sooyoung bit her lip as she observed her sister in a knight's uniform, who was tying her hair up. Her sister's facial expression was unreadable, her eyes burning into the mirror. There was silence between them; an odd atmosphere took over the room.

"Sooyoung," her sister began, breaking the silence. "You do realize how much I love our region, right?" Sooyoung nodded, still looking at her sister's reflection in the mirror. She shuddered once those cold eyes landed on her. "You do know how much I love war, right?" Sooyoung nodded again, gulping. Her sister walked over to her bed, sitting next to Sooyoung. "You know I risked my gender and went by 'Taeri' to fight as a knight, right?" "Yes." Sooyoung murmured. Her sister smiled and took Sooyoung's hands. They were cold, yet warm.

"Don't ever forget me, Sooyoung," Her sister continued. "This is my first battle, and even though I may not make it-" "Don't say that!" Sooyoung hissed. The thought of her sister dying whilst in battle scared her. Her sister smiled. "I'll always remain in your heart."

"Taeyeon, your parents want to see you before you leave." The servant announced. Taeyeon looked at Sooyoung and said, "I'll make sure to think of you and the family during the battle. I love you. Don't ever give up." She then let go of Sooyoung's hands and exited the room.

Taeyeon...please be alright...
========================================================================
Months and days had passed.

Sooyoung began to get worried. It has been five months since Taeyeon left, yet the knights returned a week ago. There was news traveling around about the knights returning to their families, but Taeyeon never came back.

Sooyoung was in the middle of eating her ramen when the servants started running around from various places. She sighed and went back to eating, almost finished with her bowl. She was about to go to the kitchen, but a servant stopped her.

"I will take that for you, Sooyoung. Your parents want to see you." Sooyoung nodded, giving the servant the bowl. She headed for her parent's room.

She hoped to see Taeyeon again. She wanted to go back to calling her "Shorty" and teasing her. But then, Taeyeon's voice lingered in her mind.

...even though I may not make it, I'll always remain in your heart.

No. Taeyeon was in that room, ready to surprise her. Sooyoung stood at the door, her hand lightly grasping the doorknob. She quickly opened it, and her face fell.

Taeyeon wasn't in the room. Her mother sobbed quietly in her father's arms, who was trying to coax her.

"Come in Sooyoung, sit." Sooyoung obliged, sitting in a chair. She could tell this was bad news. "What's wrong?" she asked, her voice wavering. Her mother cried even harder, and Sooyoung began to be anxious. "What's wrong?" she repeated, this time a bit more stern.

"Taeyeon was injured during the battle," her father announced. "It turned out the wound was fatal, and she died."

Sooyoung didn't know how to respond.

"W-What?" she stammered, trying to recollect what she had just heard. "Taeyeon's dead?" Her parents nodded in response.

How could she be so oblivious? She knew something was wrong when the servants were running around. Once again, Taeyeon's last words she said to Sooyoung lingered in her mind.

Don't ever give up...

"Thanks for telling me," Sooyoung hugged her parents before leaving the room. "Even though she may not be with us, she'll still remain in our hearts." Her mother relaxed a bit after hearing that statement.

Once Sooyoung left the room, tears flowed down her cheeks. She ran to her room, slammed the door behind her, and crawled into her bed.

She was suddenly in a deep sleep, dreaming about all the memories she had with her sister. One dream was when Taeyeon wanted to become a knight, another was when Taeyeon also wanted Sooyoung to become a knight as well.

She opened her eyes and jolted, sitting up in her bed. She rubbed her eyes, wondering what time it was. She turned on the lamp to look at the clock on her wall.

It was 2:15 AM.

Before she went back to sleep, Sooyoung thought about her plan to take revenge on the enemies of her region.

She knew it was pretty easy, she had to train as a knight in order to do so.

And she was going to do that, for Taeyeon.

Crimson Fatalism-2

2010-08-03T01:09:00.003-05:00

2.
When Sunny told Jessica that they had to leave due to classes, Taeyeon knew she was lying.

They walked together in silence, staring at the solid pavement. Taeyeon was in a trance, thinking about Jessica. Memories of "Gold Girl" kept flashing repeatedly in her mind.

Gold eyes, blonde hair, cold stare...

Oh my god.

Taeyeon paused in her tracks.

Sunny was unfazed. She knew who and what Taeyeon was thinking about. She knew something was up when Taeyeon decided to introduce herself.

"Don't tell me she was 'Gold Girl'," she muttered, putting her hand on Taeyeon's shoulder. "You need to stay away from her."

Taeyeon knew she had to stay away from Jessica, but she was addictive.

"Where are we going?" Taeyeon decided to change the subject. She had to get Jessica off of her mind. "We're going to get more equipment," Sunny noted. "I get the knife this time and you get the gun." Taeyeon nodded; she always liked handling the gun.

I'm a hunter after all...

Taeyeon bit her lip, realizing that they were in an alley.

Normally, the person who handled the weaponry would be here by now.

"Ah, there she is!" Sunny pointed to a tall girl with brown hair. "Let's go." Taeyeon whispered, walking over her.

"Hello Taeyeon-unnie, Sunny-unnie." she greeted formally, unlocking the silver case. "Hello Seohyun," the two greeted back. Taeyeon looked around the alley. "Where's Yuri?" "She's at the university right now," Seohyun replied, slowly opening the case. "Pick one."

Seohyun had everything from guns to knives to spears. It was like heaven for the two hunters.

"I'll take this silver gun." Taeyeon decided. Although she wanted the black gun, she thought the silver one would be a bit lighter to carry.
Sunny was still deliberating on which knife she should get. "If I were you, I would pick the sharper one." Taeyeon whispered. She pointed to a sleek and shiny knife. Its ridges were indeed, sharp. "Thanks Taeyeon." Sunny squealed, picking up the knife.

"Thanks for letting us borrow these," Taeyeon smiled as Seohyun closed the case. "We'll return these to you as soon as possible." Seohyun nodded. "Okay, good luck!" She waved before running off.

As the two girls hid their weapons and walked to Taeyeon's apartment, Taeyeon remembered her life after her father's death. Her aunt wanted her to be a proper young lady, but Taeyeon didn't want that. She wanted to learn more about vampires, and why they devour human blood.

She became a hunter for vengeance.

When she had made her first decision, she had snuck out of her aunt's home just to meet up with her friend. She was a friend who hunted for the same reason, a friend who understood her problems, and a friend who also wanted to learn more about those beasts.

Lee Sunny.

Taeyeon has known Sunny since childhood. The two had met a month after Taeyeon’s loss. At the time, Taeyeon didn’t know much about Sunny. The two would have conversations, but they weren’t very personal with each other.

Taeyeon remembered the one day where Sunny had asked if they could go to the park. Taeyeon didn't have anything productive to do that day, so she agreed to go with her.

The two were talking about random things, then they fell silent.

“Can I tell you something?” Sunny finally asked, nervously biting her bottom lip. Taeyeon nodded in reply, curious.

“My sister was killed a week ago…”

Taeyeon’s expression softened. Sunny’s sister was a very kind and thoughtful girl, so it saddened her that she was gone.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, but she was killed by a…supernatural creature.”

Once Taeyeon heard those last two words, she was reminded of her father’s death. She didn’t know whether or not she should tell Sunny the truth.

“It was a vampire, wasn’t it?”

“How did you know?”

“My father was killed by one too.”

It was silent between them. Nothing was heard except chatter and the chirping of birds. It was an awkward moment until Sunny whispered, "Then you must know about the hunters."

Taeyeon had heard very little of them even though the topic interested her. "Yes, I have."

"Good, then meet me here tonight." Sunny replied, then she ran off.

Taeyeon remembered everything that night. Once she had met Sunny, she had to pick a weapon from Seohyun. She then was trained by Sunny, and she was immediately a vampire hunter.

"We're here."

Taeyeon snapped out of her thoughts and took her keys out of her pocket, unlocking the door. Taeyeon sighed as she locked the door and relaxed on the couch.

"What's wrong?" Sunny sat beside her. "'Gold Girl'." Taeyeon simply replied. Sunny looked down, and the two were silent again. They didn't have anything to do during the day, so Sunny suggested that they should watch television together for the rest of the day. Although Taeyeon wanted to do something else, she agreed to it instead.
Suddenly, Taeyeon fell asleep on Sunny's shoulder. Sunny looked down and knew that 'Gold Girl' was stressing her out.

Nighttime fell, and Sunny woke the sleeping girl. "We have to go," she whispered. Taeyeon groggily grabbed the keys, and they left. Sunny made sure that they both had their weapons before they went hunting.

Once they reached the woods, Taeyeon searched for vampires. It was difficult at night because they acted just like them: humans. They weren't vampires until they would bare their fangs and devour their prey.

"I see someone." Taeyeon grabbed Sunny's arm and pointed. At first, the vampire was barely visible. Taeyeon had to squint in order to get a good view of her. Then she froze.

"What? What?" Sunny shook her, anxious. Taeyeon didn't respond.

Jessica Jung...

New Divide-Prologue

2010-08-03T01:09:00.002-05:00

Prologue.

"Taeyeon, I'm sorry, but I must resign." The girl muttered, fumbling with her hands. The woman stared at her, stiff and deep in thought. She didn't understand why the well-trained assassin would fail her mission so quickly. Instead of yelling at her, Taeyeon decided to let the girl exit.

"It was nice working with you." Taeyeon reached out her hand, and the girl shook it and bowed. "I apologize." she repeated. The girl turned around to leave the room as Taeyeon took out a silver revolver as she pointed it at the girl's lower back.

'I'm sorry' doesn't cut it.

Click.

Boom.

Those two sounds was pure entertainment for Taeyeon. Her slender fingers caressed the shiny silver revolver as she pulled the trigger the second time. The metallic bullet aimed for the girl's upper back. Once it had hit both destinations, the young girl kneeled over in pain.

Taeyeon's lips were taut and pale in a thin line. Placing the revolver on her desk, she looked at one of her servants who had witnessed the scene through the cracked door. She walked over to the corpse.
"That's what you get for giving up." she warned. "Take her someplace where no one will find her." she demanded. The man nodded, picking up the corpse as he left the room.

A taller, dark-skinned woman entered the room. She was unfazed as she saw Taeyeon's revolver. "Yuri..." Taeyeon greeted, discarding the revolver. "I have a mission for you."
Kwon Yuri never failed Taeyeon's missions. She enjoyed killing as much as Taeyeon, which was the reason why she was here in the first place.
"It's about time," Yuri replied, a devilish smile played on her lips. "Who's the target?"

"Her name is Tiffany Hwang," Taeyeon stated, giving her the file. "Don't disappoint me."

"Trust me," Yuri stood up. "I won't."

She left the room, satisfied with her new mission as she searched through her target's profile.

This is going to be easy...

However, she didn't know that this would be a difficult mission.

Crimson Fatalism-1

2010-08-03T01:07:00.001-05:00

1.
Pink, yellow, red, and purple hues streaked the sky. The sun was about to rise soon, and the stars were barely visible.

Jessica entered the abandoned Victorian home, wiping a trickle of blood from the corner of her lips. She had returned from the "dark hours", also known as the hunting hours.

Jessica had an eerie feeling once she entered the room.

It felt like someone was watching her.

She spotted a girl standing in the middle of the living room. Her hair was the color of obsidian, and her eyes were dark. Jessica shivered at the intense stare. It looked like the younger girl was craving something.

"Unnie..." she spoke, her voice barely audible. Her fangs were visible. Jessica also knew she had returned from the dark hours earlier. "Yes Krystal?" she replied.

"I'm still..." Krystal started to respond, but she started shaking. Jessica grabbed her hand, squeezing it firmly. "…still what Krystal?" She hoped Krystal wouldn't say the word.

"Hungry."

"You returned from the dark hours earlier," Jessica lectured. "Hunger is something you must control." Krystal just stared at her sister. "I don't want you to step in the sunlight...yet." Jessica continued. She let go of Krystal's hand.

"Okay unnie, I'll go to sleep." Krystal rubbed her eyes tiredly and went into another room.

Jessica sat in a chair, gripping the leather. Memories of her family flooded in her mind. Some were good, some were bad, and there were those terrible moments.

Her parents' death.

Jessica remembered when two people with guns barged into their home. She didn't know who they were until later. Her father tried to negotiate with the two, and her mother was holding baby Krystal in her arms. Jessica could only pull on her mother's shirt, wondering what was going on.

"Nothing is wrong Jessica..."

But Jessica knew something was wrong. The evidence was right in front of her. She could feel her heart thumping in her chest, and she could tell that her mother was panicking.

"Hide Jessica, hold Krystal for me."

Jessica went to a different room and hid in the closet with her baby sister. She could only hear crashes, shouts, and gunshots.

Then she heard the door slam.

Jessica winced and looked at Krystal. The baby didn't cry, she was still sleeping peacefully. She realized there weren't any screams nor gunshots, so she stepped out of the closet. She returned to the living room, and noticed her parents covered in blood. Jessica's eyes grew wide.

They're dead...

Jessica was silent. She had no choice but to leave and find her uncle, who lived next door. She knocked, trying not to wake Krystal.
"Uncle...they're gone..." Jessica started crying and she handed him the baby. His expression was unreadable, and his response was shocking.

"I know..."

Jessica remembered living with him. He taught her hunting methods and how to control her hunger. She always told him everything.

Good times...

However, she never told him about the first time she saved a human from danger. Jessica bit her lip. She remembered the girl had chocolate eyes and light brown hair.

I don't know what came over me...

The girl was obviously frightened, and Jessica tried to be kind. However, the girl denied her offer and walked off on her own.

Jessica never saw her again.

"I'm going for a walk." Jessica put on her necklace. It was a gift her mother had given her before she was killed. She could experience new things during the day. As long as she had the necklace, she was fine. She exited the home, closing the door and locking it behind her.

Taking a walk seemed to calm Jessica. It was peaceful. It also helped her control her hunger, even though it wasn't a challenge. "Ah," she sighed, closing her eyes and looking up at the blue sky.

"Taeyeon!"

Jessica snapped out of her peaceful state and saw two girls. One had long brown hair, but the other girl was oddly familiar. "What is it Sunny?" Taeyeon questioned. Sunny pointed over to Jessica. "She has gold eyes."

"She does..." Taeyeon trailed off, observing Jessica. "Maybe we should greet her." Taeyeon walked towards her, but Sunny interfered and whispered something low. "I don't care." Taeyeon gritted her teeth and continued walking. Sunny had no choice but to follow her. Jessica remained still.

"Hi, my name is Kim Taeyeon." Taeyeon was the first to introduce herself. Sunny didn't respond until Taeyeon elbowed her. "My name is Lee Sunny." Jessica giggled, trying not to reveal her fangs. She hoped they didn't notice. "I'm Jessica Jung, nice to meet you both."

Beep!

"It's time to go to our classes," Sunny checked her watch. "We have to go." She smiled at Jessica and walked off, dragging Taeyeon with her. Taeyeon could only wave, still mesmerized.

She was definitely familiar.

"Daddy, look at me!" A young girl shouted enthusiastically. She gained attention from her father, who turned around and grinned, watching his daughter slide down the slide at the playground. He stood at the edge and scooped his six year old daughter in his arms. A smile formed on his lips as his daughter started giggling. He gently put her down. "I see sweetie," he whispered. "Go play some more, I'll be right here."

Those were the last words that the young girl heard her father say.

She looked around the playground, wondering what other objects she could play with. "I already played on the bridge, the jungle gym, and the slide." she listed. Her eyes landed on a pair of swings. "There!" she pointed, running over to the swings and jumping in one of them. She started swinging on her own, but she wanted someone else to help push her so she can soar into the evening sky.

"Daddy?" she asked, ogling the playground and stopping her activity. The only sound that could be heard was the squeaking from the swing. "Daddy?" she called again. Although her bottom lip quivered, tears didn't emerge in her eyes. She looked to her left and looked to her right repeatedly until she saw a silhouette of a man and a woman. The girl walked even closer to the two dark figures. The man resembled her father, and the woman was devouring him.

"DADDY!" The girl scrambled towards her father, struggling with each step. Tears eventually flowed down her rosy cheeks; she wanted to save her father. She cried his name repeatedly until he fell onto the ground.

I'll be right here...

Those three words lingered in her mind once she approached him. "I'll be here too Daddy." She buried her face into his blood-stained chest as she squeezed his cold hand, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" A feminine voice hissed, putting her hand on the girl's shoulder. "You're my target too." The girl raced past the woman, exiting the playground.

Fangs. That woman has fangs.

"I'm not letting you get away from me you pesky little girl!" The girl ran faster, entering all sorts of obstacles that got in the way. She suddenly tripped on her untied shoelace and fell onto the pavement, hard. "Unh!" The girl squinted at the looming figure above her.

"You're my tasty dessert."

The girl winced once a hand was placed on her shoulder, gripping it tightly. She kicked and screamed, but she failed. The woman licked her lips, and her fangs inched closer to the girl's neck.

Whack.

The girl opened her eyes and saw another girl standing in front of her. She was about her age. However, the only thing that was different were her golden eyes.

They're the color of the woman's eyes...

The girl sat frozen, looking at the woman and the girl with golden eyes. "Thank you." She stood up with the girl's assistance. The other didn't reply, her cold gaze fixated on the other. "You're welcome," she replied, putting her arm against the lost girl's shoulder. "Can I take you home?" The girl stiffened at the offer.

Doesn't she have parents as well?

"No, my parents died." 'Gold Girl' replied. "So can I?" The girl shivered. "No thank you, I'll go to my aunt's house." Gold Girl was silent for a while, staring at the shaken girl. "Fine then, go home." Gold Girl walked down another path. However, the girl could hear her voice; she was freaking out both externally and internally.

See you later.

Once she got home, she cried in her aunt's arms. She hoped that all this madness was a dream. Unfortunately, it was all real, and it would affect her for the rest of her life.

"Wait..." Eri murmured rigorously. "What is it Eri?" Ai growled, her face buried in Eri's shoulder. "Why are you toying with me?" "Eh?" Ai ogled Eri, whose facial expression was emotionless. "I'm not as slow as you think I am Ai," Eri explained. "Why did you come here?"

Ai's eyes darkened. Her lips were taut and slightly pale. Her grip on Eri's shoulders tightened, Eri's eyes widening in response to the sudden touch. "What did I just say Eri? I'm hungry." Ai replied, focusing on Eri's neck. "Also, you taste delicious." Eri stiffened as Ai bared her fangs again.

"Let go of me Ai." Eri demanded, her hands grabbing Ai's wrists. She was unable to jerk Ai's hands off of her shoulders, which made Ai chuckle. "You're silly Eri," she whispered. "A simple demand won't stop me from sucking your blood."

"Then what will?" Eri asked, squirming. "Nothing will stop me from hunger Eri." Eri's body grew fragile once Ai's fangs were in contact with her neck. However, an aggressive tug pulled Eri and Ai apart.

Eri landed on the wet and murky pavement, only to find someone grunting underneath her. She quickly stood up and turned around to see one of Ai's trainers.

"Ah, sorry about that." Eri helped the shorter trainer by offering her hand. The other thanked her. "You should watch Ai more often, she's different." "I know what you mean..." The trainer observed a scene between Ai and her other trainer arguing. "Reina! Let's go!" she shouted, waving her hand repeatedly. "Pretend like you don't remember this okay?" Reina warned, running towards the trainer. "Okay." Eri replied hesitantly, grabbing her purse and finding her keys.

She entered the house, thankful her parents weren't home to hear (or see) the chaotic event outside. She went upstairs (along with her shopping bags), and entered her room. "Maybe I should try on that necklace," Eri fumbled through the bags and found the necklace, putting it on. "Ah, it looks nice!" Eri took off the accessory.

A strange sound blared, scaring the turtle. She dropped the accessory, which fell with a loud clang on the floor. Eri picked it up, and placed on her dresser.

"Eri," An enigmatic girl sat on Eri's bed, grinning devilishly. "Where did you come from?" Eri questioned nervously.

The girl walked over to her main target, tucking a lock of hair behind Eri's ear.

"You don't need to know Eri, it's clearly none of your business." The girl replied sternly.

Eri's vision went black, and the last thing she could hear was her scream due to a painful bite.
***********************************************************************
Koharu patrolled the park like a watchdog. She had fully developed her tracker demon abilities, which left JunJun worried and Aika amused.

"Should we get her checked out?" Aika asked in a teasing tone. JunJun crossed her arms, perusing the newly transformed tracker demon. "Hmph." she grunted, shrugging her shoulders.

"Hmph?" Aika waved her hand in front of her trainer's face. "That's all you can say?" "I don't trust her." JunJun replied. "Then how about I talk to her?" Aika suggested. "No." JunJun demanded.

"Why not?" Aika whined, crossing her arms and pouting. "Fine go talk to her," JunJun rolled her eyes. "Just don't blame me when she calls you a mean name."

"What was that?" Aika stared at JunJun. "Nothing, just talk to her." JunJun continued focusing on the cluster of buildings.

Until she noticed someone walking towards her.
**************************************************************************************************
"Koharu?"

Koharu turned around, meeting Aika's gaze. "Hi." She immediately went back to her duty. Confused, Aika decided to use some of her tricks to get Koharu's attention.

"So, what are you doing? You've been acting like a watchdog for the past hour." Koharu ogled Aika, sighing. "I'm searching for Sayumi," she explained. "She tends to come here a lot, so that's why I'm...'on patrol'. Do you understand my point, Mittsi?"

"Mittsi?" Aika cringed at the new nickname she received from Koharu. She despised nicknames from the start, which was why everyone called her "Aika" or "Mitsui". No one ever called her "Mittsi".

"You don't like it?" Koharu was meticulous. "It's okay if you dislike it, it just slipped-" "No, you can call me that, but only you can use it a nickname. Don't use it around JunJun."

"Okay." Koharu smiled, revealing her fangs. Aika was about to speak, but she didn't say anything.

"We should search for Sayumi in a different area, shall we?" Aika asked instead. "Yeah, this is a pretty bland area." Koharu scratched her head. "Alright then, Jun...Jun?"

Aika couldn't spot her trainer. "Let's look for her-" "No, leave her alone, she's probably over at someone's house right now."

The comment left Koharu confused, but she shrugged her shoulders and sat on the bench along with Aika, and they both stared at the full moon together.

Rondo (Chapter Twenty: Addiction)

2009-11-25T23:50:00.002-06:00

"Lin? Is something bothering you?" LinLin's father asked politely. He has never seen his daughter pensive. LinLin didn't respond to his question, still staring into space. Koharu hasn't called her in a while, and she was beginning to worry.

"Nothing Father, it's nothing." LinLin replied quietly. "I think I need some air." She left quickly, suddenly finding herself standing outside her house as the light blue sky was about to fade into a shade of gold, purple, and orange hues in the sky.

Around the area LinLin lived in, a swarm of people would discuss about recent occurances in the streets, eat at the resturants, play video games, and many more events. However, when the sky grew hazy and the moon would shine, odd things would happen in the night. Since it was sunset, it was unusual to see the town engulfed with silence.

Whirr....

A strong breeze sent chills down LinLin's spine. She stopped in her tracks, looking around the street. "Oh well, false alarm." she mumbled. Ever since her encounter with JunJun last night, all she could think about was her. Why was she having these feelings now?

Whirr...

"What's going on?" LinLin blurted as she heard the vexatious noise, still pausing in her tracks. There was no response, a whistling breeze could only answer LinLin's question.

"Qian Lin." A voice called into the distance, a powerful current absorbed LinLin. She squeezed her eyes shut, receiving a headache due to her name being repeated.

"WHAT?" She shouted, her hands covered her ears. A loud cackle erupted from the voice. “Do you seriously think that’s going to work?” LinLin’s face flushed a light pink color. She didn’t know how to respond. “Who are you?”

“That’s not important.” The voice retorted, another gust of wind surrounded the struggling girl. LinLin gulped slightly.

“Haha, I love antagonizing you and that vampire friend of yours.” LinLin’s eyes expanded. “Jun…Jun?” “Yeah JunJun, whatever her name is…” The voice scoffed.

“You sound so-“Familiar?” The voice sighed. “Yes, aren’t you-“Sayumi? The voice, now a girl, appeared in front of LinLin, grinning devilishly. “You’re correct.” “Aren’t you supposed to be with-“ “Koharu?” Sayumi crossed her arms.

“KOHARU! What’s wrong with her? Where is she?” LinLin panicked. “She’s not important anymore…I took care of her.” LinLin’s heart was thumping inside her chest. However, LinLin’s emotions revolved from worry to anger. “What did you do to Koharu?”

“Listen, you’re not ready to understand this situation.” Sayumi replied strictly. “Why not?” Sayumi tried to come up with an explanation. “You…just…won’t.” Sayumi stepped closer. LinLin stepped backward, puzzled. From all the descriptions and stories Koharu mentioned about her mentor…LinLin was shocked by Sayumi’s actions. She seemed so different. She then remembered Sayumi’s statement.

“Tell me what you told JunJun.” LinLin demanded. “No.” Sayumi stated. “Tell me what you did to them,” LinLin spoke in a calm and stern tone. “It doesn’t matter if I’m human." "What did I tell you before? No." "Tell me, please." LinLin almost sounded desperate.

"That's does it, I can't resist anymore." LinLin didn't realize the sky turned into a dark, hazy color. The moon shined on Sayumi's face, which was a pale color and beady eyes. She bared her fangs, chuckling afterwards. LinLin was stunned; she couldn't move due to Sayumi squeezing her shoulders tightly.

"Koharu was my first target, now you're next." Sayumi whispered before her fangs were about to sink into LinLin's flesh. LinLin closed her eyes in fear, but when she opened them, Sayumi disappeared like lightning. LinLin looked around the area; she was confused.

Thud.

"I knew you were going to do something bad to her." JunJun pinned Sayumi against the brick wall. "I wasn't going to do anything bad." Sayumi groaned in defeat.

Thud.

"I just saw you! Don't think I'm stupid! Then again, all you tracker demons think that vampires and humans are naive and dumb." Sayumi stared at JunJun blankly. "Ugh, never mind," JunJun shook her head angrily. "Now thell me the truth, were you about to turn LinLin into a tracker demon?" "Yes, I was going to turn her into one of them, but your crazy lecture isn't going to stop me." Sayumi confessed.

'So Koharu was Sayumi's first target, and I was going to be next? What is a tracker demon anyway? Koharu...'

"Don't touch her, don't bite her, don't do anything to her," JunJun released her grip on Sayumi, trembling afterwards. "If I see you harm LinLin again, you're dead meat." Sayumi paused before replying, "I don't think I can keep that promise."

'I hate her...'

"You make me sick Sayumi." LinLin blurted unintentionally, covering her mouth quickly. "Go home LinLin." JunJun directed, still keeping an eye on Sayumi. "But what about Koharu?" "Koharu's going to be fine, okay?" JunJun gulped. She had never seen LinLin so upset before. "That's not true!" JunJun hugged LinLin, who was sobbing in her arms. "Let it all out." JunJun still didn't take her eyes off of Sayumi, who was about to escape. "Go home okay? I'll take care of Sayumi." "Okay...bye JunJun." LinLin wiped her tears, walking home. She had too much to think about the eventful eventful evening.

Diverting her attention back to Sayumi, JunJun realized that she escaped once again. "Damn, she's gone again." she muttered under her breath. She thought about LinLin, making a mental note to herself. "I hope she's alright, I must check on her in the morning." JunJun sighed before leaving the silent streets.
**************************************************************************************************
"I want to go home..." Koharu whined, crossing her arms and pouting. Aika had been listening to her whine for a while, but she couldn't help but laugh whenever Koharu pouted. She cleared her throat replying, "How many times do I have to tell you? We have to keep you here for a while." "You never told me the reason why."

"Sayumi bit you, something's wrong with you...what do you expect?" Aika was ready to hear more of Koharu's whining, but she didn't hear anything. Aika still remained quiet.

'Why is she so melancholy?'

"Koharu?"

Aika almost jumped the moment she saw Koharu. Her eyes were twitching, transforming into beady orbs. Her teeth elongated, which revealed her fangs. Finally, her breathing stopped, and she was quietly.

"Koharu?" Aika called softly, inching closer to her. Koharu was breathing normally, but she was stiff. "Look at me Koharu." Aika whispered, scrunching her eyebrows.

"What just happened to me?" Koharu asked calmly. "You just..." "It's Sayumi, she turned me into this," Koharu pulled on her jacket. "I'm hideous." "What are you talking about Koharu, you're beautiful." Aika disagreed, smirking. "It's still her fault." Koharu mumbled angrily. "You didn't know she was going to attack you. Don't be shy, come here." Koharu moved closer to Aika, looking at her curiously. "What?" Aika asked, making an odd facial expression. "Nothing, nothing at all." Koharu blushed, diverting her attention away from Aika.

'Hmm...maybe this plan will work...' Aika giggled at the thought, noticing Koharu's blushing face.

"What's wrong Koharu? Are you scared?" Koharu gaped at Aika. "I'm not scared! I'm just shocked that I look so-" Aika put her finger over Koharu's lips, causing her to be calm.

"There's no need to yell, I'm right here." Aika whispered huskily before removing her finger from Koharu's lips. "Uh, s-sorry." Koharu squeaked in response. Aika chuckled, "You're hilarious Koharu." Koharu froze, whispering, "T-Thanks."

"Aika! Koharu!" JunJun called, not too far away from the two. "Yes?" Aika got up from the bench, about to walk towards her. Koharu grabbed her hand at the last minute. "Get up, JunJun's not going to harm you."

'But I bet she tried her best not to hurt Sayumi...'

"Aika! Let go of her!" JunJun pried their hands apart. "Relax JunJun, she's harmless." "That's because," JunJun lowered her voice to a whisper. "She just transformed. She's powerful as the time goes by."

"You do realize I can still hear you right?" Koharu titled her head and giggled. "Okay, you're right, but what are we going to do with her?" Aika knew Koharu was one of the "good' tracker demons, but will she transform into a "bad" tracker demon later? She certainly hoped not; she was beginning to like Koharu.

"I don't know." JunJun responded. "I'm too angry at Sayumi." "What happened?" Koharu butted in, raising an eyebrow. "Sayumi tried to make LinLin end up like Koharu, but I stopped her," JunJun sighed. "She's worried about you Koharu, but I told her you were fine."

"I can't believe Sayumi would still do this to me. She's a vampire isn't she?" "No Koharu, she's even worse." "So, she's one of the tracker demons?" Koharu asked. "Yes, she's a tracker demon Koharu." "Too bad I can't do anything to stop her." "Then I can stop her." Aika offered eagerly." "No Aika, you're too young." "I have a solution." Koharu stated. "What is it Koharu?" Aika asked, still eager.

"I can stop Sayumi myself."
**************************************************************************************************
"AH! I'm so late!" Eri had four bags filled with the shopping items she bought. She tried to get the keys from her purse as she got to her house. However, since her purse was a mess, she couldn't find the keys. "I think I misplaced them again." She looked up again, only to see her best friend in front of her. "Ai-chan, I didn't notice you were here...."

Ai was trembling, breathing heavily. "Ai-chan? Are you alright?"

"I'm cold..." Ai responded in a childish voice. "But it's warm outside, but it will be okay Ai-chan." Eri dropped her belongings and gave Ai a quick hug. It was something she and Ai would do whenever they were in a cold atmosphere.

"Eri," Ai finally spoke, her breath vibrating against Ai's neck. "I'm hungry..." "Hungry?" Eri tried to pull away, but Ai's grip was tight. "Your blood is so rich, I want to taste it again." Ai bared her fangs.

Eri could only shake under her touch.

"Damn it..." JunJun muttered, looking around the cluster of buildings that crowded her. Anger was boiling in her blood as she balled her fists, pouding them against the coarse and slippery road. "I cannot find her." JunJun slammed her fist again, but it met with a cool splash that suddenly came in contact with her clothes and her face.

JunJun stood up, trudging down the street, eyes wandering around the area as she picked up her pace. Thoughts of the enigmatic Sayumi clouded her mind. Why did she bite Koharu? Why would she harm her? Where is she?

"There you are," Words dripped with acidity when a dark voice spoke from behind. "You are JunJun I presume?" JunJun turned around, her eyes meeting the severe orbs of an obsidian hair-colored girl.

"Yes, my name is JunJun," the slightly flustered vampire replied, still making eye contact. "And you must be Sayumi I assume." Before the other girl could open her mouth and make conversation, JunJun asked,

"How the hell did you know my name?"

"Sayumi" cackled haughtily, shaking her head afterwards. "I've seen you with your trainee, Aika before." Sayumi winked after her explanation.

'So she has been stalking us?' JunJun was about to burst with fury, but she kept her composure.

"I also saw the both of you with Koharu-" "And?" JunJun interrupted, her nails ripping into the palm of her hands. "And I want you to say away from her." JunJun's orbs expanded in size.

'What the hell does she mean?'

"Why?" JunJun questioned, not a hint of hesitation dominated her voice. She streched her hands, which were numb. "I bit her of course." Sayumi chuckled in response.

"Interesting, but why did you bite her?" "Because," Sayumi tried to think of a reasonable answer. "I wanted her to transform into someone." "Like who?" JunJun narrowed her eyes, her hands balling up into fists again.

"You will see soon." Sayumi's words were poisonous, which made the vampire even more furious, yet curious at the same time. "Noticing that she was spacing out, JunJun closed and opened her eyes, coming to the quick realization that Sayumi disappeared. "Damn it." JunJun cursed again, suddenly followed by a sigh.

Continuing her trudging down the street, JunJun thought about Sayumi's last statement:

"You will see soon..."

JunJun knew it would have been impossible for Koharu to become a vampire, or could it be possible? She suddenly remembered when she was a trainee about the teachings of the tracker demon:

'Tracker demons are dangerous to the vampire and the human clan. The demons want to devour their blood so that the vampire clan can become fragile by the second."

JunJun shook her head at the memory. "Crap, that's not the right one." She mumbled angrily. Then she remembered something else:

'Tracker demons can also bite, but their targets are humans. Not only do they devour their blood, there's a chance that the unconscious human can become a tracker demon in minutes.'

JunJun was frightened once she remembered that. Sayumi's cackling laugh replayed in her mind repeatedly.

'No...no, Koharu's not a....she can't be a...'

"Damn it."

Rondo (Chapter Eighteen: Eerie)

2009-10-24T23:12:00.003-05:00

Chapter Eighteen: Eerie
*************************************************************************************
A shrill scream echoed in the empty streets. Crows started cawing and flapping their wings from the trees above. The wind whistled, sending a cool and chilly breeze. There was a dead silence except for the particular scream. Chills ran down Aika's spine, the trainee sensing a strange prescence. "What was that?" She questioned immediately, looking at JunJun curiously. Her trainer didn't reply; she was too focused on something else. Aika sighed profoundly, shaking her head. "Are you going to respond?" she muttered angrily, her nails ripping into the palm of her hands as she heard the piercing scream once again. JunJun didn't speak a single word.

What's going on in her mind right now? Can't she hear the scream?

As if she had read Aika's mind, JunJun walked towards the trainee and whispered, "It's nothing, I'm curious about the scream." Aika didn't react, racing down the sidewalk. JunJun was following her trail. "Where are we going?" she asked, her voice wavering. "To the park, the scream came from there." Aika replied, stopping in her tracks. "Oh...hey, why did you stop?" "We're here." Aika's eyes widened at the scene. A girl with bite marks on the side of her neck was unconsious on a bench. Her jacket was blood-stained. Aika immediately walked over to the girl, shaking her slowly. "What are you doing?" JunJun questioned. "Always have to ask questions don't you?" Aika rolled her eyes. The girl started jerking; she was slowly opening her eyes.

She winced in pain, grabbing the side of her neck. "S-Sayumi...." Her eyes darkened at the name. "She...bit me." The girl looked at Aika, then at JunJun. "Vampires..." She observed, standing up weakly. "Sayumi...is a vampire, just like you." Aika was dumbfounded. "I'll find her, I have an odd feeling that she isn't a vampire." JunJun ran off in a different direction. "What is your name?" Aika tried to make conversation. "Kusumi Koharu," the girl replied. "And you?" "Aika, Mitsui Aika. It's nice to meet you Koharu."

If this...Sayumi is not a vampire, then she must be rare...it's impossible for her to become a tracker demon, right?
**************************************************************************************************
Reina entered Ai's bedroom through the window. "Good, there are no curtains." Reina chuckled. "What did you get?" Risa questioned blatantly. Reina gulped. She knew the Reaction Queen would burst at any minute. "Yossie and Miki are too busy, but I did speak with Maki, and-" "And?" "She's getting a tracker demon vibe."

"There's nothing we can do about it, huh?" Risa whispered in a low tone. "Well, not right now..." Reina shrugged her shoulders. "Her eyes are going to turn black any minute," Risa panicked. "She's not even fully possessed! I don't want her to be this way Reina!"

[i]Here she goes....[/i]

"I'm digging up more information Risa." Reina grabbed Risa's shoulders, shaking her. After a few minutes, Risa was finally calmed. "Oh, well why didn't you say so?" Reina sighed, sitting in a chair. "You went into Reaction Queen moment Risa right after I announced the news." "Oh...HEY!"

"Will you guys quit?" Ai stood up from her bed, walking over to the window. It took a while for the exhausted Reina to realize what Ai was about to do. "Um...." "Um?" Ai opened the window. "Where do you think you're going?" Risa butted in, her voice wavering.

"Where do you think I'm going?" Ai snickered, smirking. "You're going for a walk." Reina guessed sarcastically, knowing the answer was going to be different. "Correct, but what for?" Reina made a facepalm gesture.

[i]She has got to be kidding me...[/i]

"It doesn't matter, you're still not going out of our sight." Risa grabbed Ai's arm, but Ai pushed it away. "That's where you're wrong." "Then what are you going to do Ai?" Reina gripped the arm of the chair with her fingernails. Ai chuckled, shivers running down Reina's spine.

"Silly Reina, I'm going on a little hunt." Ai replied before jumping out of the window.

Rondo (Chapter Seventeen: Surge)

2009-09-18T21:05:00.002-05:00

Reina was short of breath when she entered the building. She was about to go to the front desk, but then a certain someone made Reina stop in her tracks. Maki was speaking with Yossie and Miki, explaning all the information that was important.

"Yes, I'll speak to Reina about it." Maki closed the conversation by heading outside. Reina followed her, grinning. At least she didn't have to stay in that building anymore. "Oh, hi Reina." Maki greeted, her back still facing Reina. Her voice sounded kind of...monotone. "Hi, what did you want to talk to me about?" Reina raised her eyebrow, causing the older to turn around and stare at her blankly. It took Maki a moment to recap what happened.

"How's Ai?" Reina couldn't believe that Maki would ask such a thing, but she understood the reason. "I think she has a glitch." She replied nervously, her hands shaking a little. "So that's why she's been fragile." Maki murmured. "What do you mean Maki?" Reina was anxious, her brown orbs were filled with fright.

"That glitch can send odd signals," Maki explained. "It's a rare one though, I found this out while seeking for tracker demons the other day." "So I was right." Reina whispered, a little puzzled. "What are you talking about Reina?" Maki looked at Reina with a puzzled expression. "Well, when Eri was possessed," Reina confessed. "I knew that this won't be the last time it would come back."

"It's probably because Ai had to kill it, I'm sure she will be fine." Maki put her arm around Reina. "I don't know Maki, she was very...different." Reina was unsure. "Talk to Yossie and Miki about it later. They're busy at the moment, they might know what you're talking about." Maki suggested. "Now, I have to look up this report about another demon attack, bye!" Maki went back inside the building before Reina could say anything.

"I guess I'll come back later." Reina muttered, wondering how the Reaction Queen would handle the news.

"Oh crap," Koharu repeated, darting down the sidewalk to get to the park. Passerbys stopped and turned to look at the sprinting girl. "I shouldn't have watched LinLin's entire collection of that anime!" She that Sayumi wouldn't be happy, but she would forgive Koharu.

Huffing and puffing heavily, Koharu decided to take a break. She looked around and noticed Sayumi sitting on the bench, the air rustling her raven-colored hair. Koharu closed her eyes and opened them again before sitting next to her.

"Koharu..." Sayumi murmured. "You are late." She was very calm about Koharu's tardiness, a small smiled emerged from her lips. Koharu felt the urge to kiss those light pink lips. "I'm sorry Sayu-" "But I'm glad you're here now." Sayumi interrupted, still calm. Koharu was flabbergasted by Sayumi's voice change; she was suspicious.

"What's wrong Sayu? Are you okay?" Koharu questioned timorously. "No." A light chuckle escaped Sayumi's lips, her eyes turning beady at the sudden gesture. Stunned, Koharu's hand was placed on Sayumi's shoulder. "Ah!" She shouted, noticing Sayumi's skin turning pale. "S-Sayumi, you're pale." She squeaked, her eyes expanding in shock. "Yes, I know." Sayumi faced Koharu, placing her hands on her shoulders.

"Sayu, what are you-" "Don't ask questions." Sayumi demanded, smiling devilishly. Koharu held all her questions in her mind. Sayumi's lips inched closer to her neck, her fangs were revealed.

Koharu screamed loudly, an echo piercing into the sky.

Rondo (Chapter Sixteen: Rush)

Ai felt weak all over. Her knees were buckling and she had to hold onto Risa for support. Of course she would be a little frail, but not like this. All of a sudden, a surge ran through Ai's body, her eyes turning dark. She ogled her trainer, who was flabbergasted and bewildered by the sudden change.

"Oh...crap." Reina muttered, gaping at her trainee. Her eyes expanded in size as she tried to swallow down the lump in her throat. "Ai-chan, are you okay?" Risa finally questioned the transformed girl. The shorter girl quickly nodded her head in reply, "Ah, yes, now let's get this thing over with." She pulled away from Risa and walked down the sidewalk, leaving the two trainers in shock.

"What the heck just happened right now?" Risa whispered to Reina, confused at what just happened. Reina was too busy observing the weaker trainee. Her lips were taut and pale, her eyes narrowing. "I don't know, she must have gotten those demon vibes, I have to ask Maki about this." She followed Ai, who was already walking faster than normal. Risa scrunched her eyebrows in confusion, tilting her head in response.

Ai, on the other hand, seemed like she was weaving in and out of her current strong and weak state. It was like she was repeatedly having a glitch. She felt like she could sense something strange, something that could be dangerous. Reina now understood what was happening, nodding her head. "What? What's wrong with her Reina?" Risa asked, trying to be as calm as possible.

"I...I'm not sure, she's having some sort of glitch I suppose." Reina replied, being shaken by the Reaction Queen. "WHAT? We need to go help her." Risa ran over to Ai, who was now kneeling and panting heavily. Reina also ran over to help Ai up, but Ai didn't budge. "Eh? Ai-chan, are you okay?"

"I-I am fine." Ai muttered, slowly getting up. "Let's go." She murmured darkly, looking for a target. "How about....him then?" Reina pointed to a guy leaning on a pillar and staring off into space. "Nope, give me a harder one." "Oh, just do it, he's not doing anything." Reina rolled her eyes. Risa could see a glint in Ai's dark brown orbs. Something was definitely wrong.

"Fine." A smirk played on Ai's lips as she walked over to the spacey man. "Did she just-" "I really need to talk to Maki about this." Reina interrupted, her eyes following after Ai's every move. "You didn't even give me a chance to-" "Oh yes, it's a demon glitch alright." "Demon glitch?" Risa was still puzzled at everything.

The man cried, unconscious. "Humans." Ai snickered, licking her lips. "Are you sure you're alright Ai?" Reina questioned, noticing that her eyes were completely dark. Risa was almost afraid to touch her. Then, she returned to normal, shaking her head. "I thought I told you guys I was fine." Ai put her arms around her head.

"Risa, take Ai home." Reina was sure to give out instructions before heading to the abandoned building. Risa nodded furiously, walking over to Ai. "It looks like she's alright." Reina noted, heading over to the hideout to find Maki.
**************************************************************************************************
"Where's Koharu?" Sayumi asked to nobody in particular. She was sitting at the park bench alone. Even though it was 2:30 PM, Sayumi wanted to be there earlier so her mentee wouldn't have thought that she was late. Sayumi took out her phone to call her, but she put it back in her purse. "I don't need to worry about her, she will come." Sayumi closed her eyes until she heard something buzz past her.

"BEE?" Sayumi shouted randomly, looking around the park. The other people stared at her with an odd look on their faces, some had their eyebrows scrunched together, others looked puzzled. "What? Haven't you seen a girl shout 'bee' before?" Sayumi rolled her eyes and went back to closing them.

Michishige......

"What the?" Sayumi was now internally panicking. "Who-who is it?" She whispered with a tremor in her voice.

Michishige...

"What?!?" Sayumi blinked, and a shadow appeared in front of her. She was shocked at the image that had appeared in front of her. That wasn't Koharu!

Michishige....

Before Sayumi could say anything, everything turned black.

Tear Drops (SNSD Fanfic Chapter One: Misery)

2009-09-03T22:04:00.005-05:00

Rain poured outside the window, making a "pitter-patter" sound against the windowpane. Thunder boomed in the distance, letting out a little roll. A streak of lightning emerged in the scene, the white strip breaking into the foggy purple hue. Dark clouds formed in the sky, giving everyone below a warning that the thunderstorm was going to be much worse.

Lee Sunny sighed, already prepared with her flashlight and her pillow in hand. She wanted her Taeyeon, but she was already with Tiffany, her best friend. Sunny gripped at the pillow, her eyes blazing at the thunderous scene outside. "Tiffany..." she muttered under her breath, another erupt of thunder rolled into the scene. Tears fell from her dark brown orbs, landing on the soft and comfortable pillow.

It was time for the little bunny to cry, she was scared and nervous. Her lips were trembling and tingling, and Sunny put her hand over her mouth to try not to scream. Her phone started ringing, Sunny's eyes expanding in response as she ran over to the phone that lie peacefully on her bed. Quickly flipping open the phone, Sunny noticed that the message was from Taeyeon:

Sunny~

Are you scared over there? Do you need me to come get you?

As a matter of fact, I'll come over there now.

Taeyeon

A small smile had appeared on Sunny's lips. She held the pillow to her body, closing her eyes. The bunny had feelings for Taeyeon, and she was jealous that she hangs out with Tiffany. Under Sunny's dark brown orbs, they would be filled with sweetness, but when it came to Tiffany, they would be filled with rage.

Repetitive knocking was heard from far away, and Sunny immediately opened the door. "Sunny!" The dorky leader greeted the bunny, closing her umbrella and hugging her. "Taeyeon!" Sunny hugged her tighter. The two hugged for a long time until Sunny finally let go. The roll of thunder had faded away, lightning didn't appear for a while, but the rain was still pouring.

"You can let me go now," Taeyeon went to her usual spot on Sunny's couch. "I have to tell you some great news." Sunny's eyes lit up, sitting next to Taeyeon. "I have something to say too." Sunny hesitantly spoke, looking down at her thumbs. "Tiffany and I..." Taeyeon paused. Sunny could tell that this wasn't going to be good news for her. "Tiffany and I are together Sunny, isn't that awesome!" The dorky leader shouted excitedly. "Yeah, I guess so." Sunny replied, letting out a nervous giggle.

"So what was it you wanted to tell me?" Taeyeon looked at the bunny questioningly. Words pondered in Sunny's mind, she couldn't confess to her now. "It's nothing." Sunny replied, her orbs turning into sadness. Silence filled the air for a moment, the rain seemed to calm down and the skies were clear. "The rain has cleared up, I have to go, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Taeyeon smiled cheerfully, grabbed her umbrella, and walked to the door. Sunny followed, gingerly opening the door and waved goodbye, closing the door after Taeyeon exited her house.

Sunny could feel her heart breaking like glass shattering all over the floor.

Koharu was amped. She didn't like being alone sitting on a bench doing nothing at the park. She wanted to work, or at least socialize with somebody. "Where's Sayumi?" Koharu grunted under her breath, scanning the park for her former mentor. She would bother Sayumi at times, and it was fun messing with her, and most of the time she would have been at the park by now.

"What was that about?" A familiar voice came from nowhere. Koharu shuddered and turned around. She was face to face with a girl who had the same personality as her. "Oh, LinLin." Koharu blushed, the heat increasing in her cheeks. She was puzzled as to why she felt this way, but there was something about LinLin that she adored. "So, why are you sitting here? Normally, you would want to do work!" It was true, Koharu did want to work most of the time.

"I have nothing else to do." Koharu replied, swallowing. "Oh come on Koharu, tell me what's going on with you!" LinLin put her hand on Koharu's shoulder, making her blush even more. "You sure are hyper aren't you?" Koharu knew it was a stupid question to ask, especially to LinLin. "You're the same way." LinLin giggled, pointing to the younger. "Yes, yes, I know." Koharu waved her hand, mentally trying to calm herself.

"Koharu," LinLin looked down, slowly inching closer to Koharu. Weird questions suddenly popped in her mind like fireworks, but she didn't know which ones to ask Koharu. "Is there something on your mind?" Koharu was jolted out of her senses. She didn't know that LinLin would ask such a thing. "Well...yeah..." She replied hesitantly.

Moving all the way closer until she was beside Koharu's side, LinLin put her head on Koharu's shoulder. Confused at the sudden gesture, Koharu's face was now crimson. "Hmm..I have another question," LinLin's words were muffled, but Koharu could understand what she was questioning. "You like me."

"That wasn't a question, that was more like a statement!" A surge ran through Koharu's body as she jumped up from the bench. "Aha, so you do like me." LinLin grinned, pointing a finger to the younger. "H-How did you know?" Koharu gulped, but LinLin started laughing. Koharu was puzzled and asked, "What's so funny?"

"Oh, Koharu, you're so easy to read underneath your funny and sweet exterior." LinLin replied. "So...what does that mean? Do you like me too? What?" Koharu was probably asking a billion questions, but she wanted to know how LinLin would respond.

"Yes, Koharu...I like you a lot." Koharu didn't know what she was doing after that. All that happened was when Koharu gave LinLin a light kiss on the lips. However, LinLin returned the kiss, except this time, it was much longer.

It was getting a little late, and Koharu needed to be home by 9 PM. "I need to go, I'll see you tomorrow okay LinLin?" "Alright, bye Koharu."

'Am I really that easy to read?' Koharu thought to herself when she opened the door to her house.

Oyasumi #19

2009-08-28T21:56:00.002-05:00

It was unusual to see Tsugunaga Momoko pissed. Normally, the second oldest girl of Berryz Koubou would be full of energy and hyper. But Momoko was opposite today. Glaring at the pink cellphone decorated with peach stickers, she perused through her contacts. She had all the Berryz's phone numbers, Morning Musume's phone numbers, she even had C-ute's phone numbers, but there was something that was missing. Somebody that made Momoko even more pissed just thinking about it.

Her name was Ishimura Maiha.

Momoko's palms grew sweaty due to gripping the bar tightly. Receiving weird reactions from the people in the train, Momoko pulled the brim of her hat over her eyes. Identity was very important in the idol world. She was very popular, so she must be hidden. But Momoko wasn't worried about that, she was worried about Maiha. She was wondering how she was doing in school, did she get good grades? Momoko was curious.

The train halted to a stop, Momoko was almost jerked out of her seat, she held onto her hat, but her phone slipped from her right hand. Noticing that the phone was gone, Momoko was internally panicking. As she stood up from her seat and searching for the misplaced phone, Momoko felt a tap on her shoulder. "Um...is this cellphone your's?" Momoko quickly sat back down in her seat as the train doors closed, and it headed to the next stop. She took the phone, but she didn't look up.

The other girl couldn't believe the girl's appearance. She felt like she had seen her somewhere before when she was in Berryz Koubou. She had always been her friend, helping her with her dance moves and even more. She had the urge to ask this girl about her identity, to see her Berryz Koubou friend and bandmate once again.

"Are you.."-the girl lowered her voice as she reached for Momoko's hand. "Tsugunaga Momoko?" Momoko gulped, sliding her phone in her purse. "Yes." she muttered back. A smile had appeared on the girl's lips, her dimples were showing. Momoko's eyes grew big at the girl's facial expression. "Maiha?" The train stopped again, and the two stood up to get off at their stop.

"I missed you!" The energetic Momoko shouted, tears emerging from her dark brown orbs. "I missed you too." Maiha cooed in her ear, hugging her. Shivers went down Momoko's spine in response. The two girls giggled as they stopped hugging, but then they were serious.

"I'm sorry I left, if my father hadn't interfered, I would still be here." Maiha forced a smile, but it didn't seem to work. "It's okay Maiha, I'm just glad to see you again," Momoko patted Maiha's shoulder. "I can't wait to tell the other Berryz about this." Momoko was about to reach for her cellphone, but Maiha grabbed her wrist. "I only wanted to see you." Momoko's cheeks were stained a peachy color. Maiha took Momoko's hands and squeezed them tightly.

Momoko didn't know what to do next, she couldn't speak. "I-I was..." She was suddenly interrupted with Maiha's lips that were pressed to her own. Thank goodness the two were in a hidden area, or they would be caught. Her lips were soft, Maiha finally pulled away.

Maiha slipped a piece of paper in Momoko's coat pocket. "Read that for me okay? I'll see you later!" She waved goodbye and she left. Momoko opened it, scanning the letter..

Dear Momoko,

Thank you for being there for me. Even when I was down, you were always there to pick me up. I would tell you about what's been going on in my life. You would nod and listen, giving me advice the next time I made the same mistake.

I would never forget those moments. You still remain in my mind and in my heart. Maybe it's because I didn't know I had these feelings for you. But later on while watching TV programs, you kept getting prettier and prettier, and I really did love you. I wanted to confess, but I thought I would never see you again.

I love you Momoko, I want to see you again.

Love,

Maiha

"I love you too Maiha..." Tears flowed down Momoko's cheeks. She wiped them away with her sleeve, pulling down the cap. She looked at the phone number that was at the bottom of the page, and Momoko programmed the number in her cellphone.

"I'm glad you didn't forget me, Maiha." She murmured before heading home.

Akai (Chapter Four: Crimson)

2009-08-21T22:52:00.003-05:00

Crimson.

How did the background suddenly change? I thought I was relaxing at my house, with JunJun right beside me. I guess I fell asleep, but how? I put a hand over my eyes to shield the brightness that was coming in my direction. It almost blinded me, making me cover my eyes with my hands. It wasn't bright anymore, it went back to the regular red. "Eh? What the heck happened?" My eyes wandered for a moment. I looked behind me, but I couldn't see anybody. "Hmm..I guess I'm alone then." I shrugged my shoulders, not knowing what to do.

I felt a pair of arms slide around my waist, but for some reason, a smile appeared on my face. I was already familiar to this touch, and her head touched my shoulder. "Hello, Ai-chan." I could feel a blush appear on my cheeks, they were probably rosy. "Hi...JunJun." I replied, my cheeks were blazing now. I turned around, and like lightning, JunJun's lips were glued to mine. I wasn't surprised, since I was already used to it. It was a long time before we could pull away. I was still in her embrace, and we were cuddling.

But then, everything faded...just like that.

I slowly opened my eyes, seeing a certain panda with a blissful and peaceful expression. I looked at the bothersome clock, the shining numbers read 1 PM. I could feel JunJun's hand in mine, her fingers entwining. She woke up, a small smile painted her face. "It's one o' clock," I could feel my voice breaking. "Do you need to go anywhere?" JunJun was still gazing at me, but she shook her head minutes later. "No.." A pink hue stained her cheeks when she looked down.

"Did you have the same dream as me?" My eyes widened at the question before I could understand what she meant. "Yes." I replied, giggling. I had no idea why I was laughing, but JunJun was confused, and she took my other hand. "What's so funny?" "Oh nothing...it's..nothing." I was gazing at her too, trying to think of something else to say. It was still silent before JunJun finally questioned, "Do you have any bananas?" I nodded before JunJun ran out of my bedroom to the kitchen. "Wait!" I shouted a couple of seconds later, a little puzzled.

"Don't we have to talk about it?" I asked, sitting down on the couch. "Oh yes, we're going to talk about it, but I just needed to eat something first before our little discussion. "Alright then." I still looked down, my cheeks were probably crimson. "How did we fall asleep?" "Actually, you went to sleep first." JunJun started laughing, nearly choking on her banana. "Are you okay?" I patted her back. JunJun could only nod in response. "You were like, 'I'm sleepy JunJun, I'm sleepy.' And then, you closed your eyes. Surprisingly, I did the same too." JunJun explained. "Oh wow, um..so this led to that dream, and..." "Here we are now discussing it." JunJun finished the sentence.

"Um..okay, what to say," I twiddled with my thumbs, trying to let the words come out, but I couldn't. "Um...I enjoyed it." "I enjoyed it too." JunJun was about to lean but I heard a ding far away. I guess my phone was still in my room. "I should get that." I got up and went to my room, but the more steps I took, the more I could hear those dings. It made me cringe when I heard them. I know I should be getting used to it, but I still haven't. The tone is bothersome, and I don't like it. The other ringtones suck, so this one will take a while.

I went inside my room, grabbed my phone, and I walked out. I had missed 18 texts, but they were all from Risa this time. I rolled my eyes and sat next to JunJun. "Who was that, Reina?" She sounded like she was having an attitude. "No, that was Risa, my other friend," I replied. "Reina hijacked her phone." JunJun was silent, but she burst into laugher afterwards. "Well, I just got something from Sayu, she says she's lonely now." JunJun sighed. "Then I guess you're leaving?" I asked, standing up. JunJun did the same and I led her to the door. "Yeah, I am." JunJun replied, about to leave.

"Wait a minute..." JunJun wrapped her arms around me and our lips collided once again. She broke away and waved goodbye. I didn't get a chance to wave back because my lips were tingling. My phone dinged for the billionth time, and it was from Risa...more like Reina:

Saru-chan, we're coming over now!

....Now?

Oyasumi #18

2009-08-15T01:46:00.002-05:00

Tick...tock...

Tick...tock..

Tick...tock...

Tick...tock...

Michishige Sayumi drummed her fingernails against the desk, making an odd clicking sound in return. Her eyes wandered around the silent, empty, white room. The only that was right in front of her was a desk, a pen, some paper, and the bothersome clock that was placed right next to her. She held the glistening sleek pen, staring at its figure. Narrowing her eyes, she looked down at the blank piece of paper in front of her. Her eyes then darted to the clock.

Tick...tock..

Tick...tock..

Tick...tock...

Tick...tock...

Why was she even here in the first place? She's here in this odd atmosphere, at a desk, pen in hand, and the vexatious clock that had awakened her out of her spacey state. Her drowsy eyes wandered back to the paper and it only told her to do one task:

Write about your feelings Sayumi.

The paper was obviously telling the bunny, no, demanding the bunny, to write about those feelings that she had kept deep down inside, especially in the most important place...her heart. She's never told anyone about the feelings that has been bottled up for a long time. Even though she puts on a smile, and doing her "Usa-chan Peace" sign, she's been all alone on the inside, and she doesn't know why. The started ticking even louder, which meant that Sayumi has to write about it. "Here goes..." A quiet whisper managed to escape from those little red lips.

My feelings...it's been quite a while since I've been keeping them deep down inside. So, like I said just before I started writing this, here we go.

When I was a little girl, I was constantly lonely. Every time I would ask someone if I could play, they would just laugh at me. Then I found pillbugs. I started talking to them, and they wouldn't reply. But I didn't care, because I liked to hold a conversation. Still, I would feel hurt about being lonely and seeing other kids being friends with each other. I never told anyone about those feelings.

Then I met Kamei Eri. She was the new girl in junior high, and I felt like I had the audacity to become friends with her. She was a very shy girl with long, black hair. People would call her "Kame". She would shrug and go back to her seat, not speaking for the rest of the class period. She was even quieter than me, which was unusual. However, there was a bubbly aura around her, and it drew me closer to her. I got to speak with her, and I showed her around the school. We got to know each other, and we have some things in common.

A few months later, another new girl transferred in junior high. Her name was Tanaka Reina. She was known as the "Yankii", but she would deny being called the nickname. But her appearance was like a yankii; the hoodie, jeans, gymshoes, and various accessories proved it. She was officially the "cool girl" in the school. I didn't like her. I hated her. I despised her. She was disgusting me. Eri's drool expression whenever Reina glanced at her would leave me battered and bruised on the inside. On the outside, I kept myself together. But whenever I got home, I broke down immediately.

I didn't know how much I love that girl until now. I was there to defend her when Reina wasn't there with us. I would compliment on the new hairstyles. She's a pretty girl. I love her, I really love her. In fact, I love her so much, I've been wanting to confess to her for a long time. But since my feelings are bottled up, there was no way I could have told her.

She has Reina, the yankii, she doesn't need me.

DING!

The clock startled Sayumi. A tiny squeak emerged, a metal clank hit the hard surface. The door slowly opened, and a taller, younger girl stepped in the white room, a shorter woman right behind her. "Michishige, please take your paper with you, you are dismissed." Confused, Sayumi held on to the light object and left the room. Someone took her in that room. They knew something suspicious was going on with her, and they wanted to find out. Sayumi looked at the paper again, and decided to go back to relaxing at her own home.

Unlocking the door to her house, she knew it would be a mess due to all the pulling, pushing and kicking that resulted as damaging the walls. She locked the door behind her. She felt a surge of anger rush through her body, slamming the piece of paper on the dining room table that had a bunch of scratch marks.

She turned the shower on, steam coming from the curtain. Sayumi didn't care if she was going to burn, she was too upset about the sight of Reina and Eri together. Tears formed in her eyes, but they were still dark. "Reina..." she muttered as she stepped in the shower.

Steam started clouding her eyes, the intense, burning, heat that danced all over her skin. "She doesn't need me anymore." Sayumi started getting dizzy due to the steam. She pressed her hands on the wall for support, but she slowly started to sink as her eyelids had no choice but to close.
************************************************************************
Kamei Eri was walking in the long hallway to Sayumi's apartment, holding the key she gave her. The two had shared an apartment for a while until Reina told her to move in with her. Now all that was shattered. Eri had completely broken up with Reina because she was seeing another girl. Eri's heart ached for a long time, but she was glad that she broke up with her. Because there was special bunny on her mind.

Sayumi...

As Eri unlocked the door, the sound of a shower was running in the bathroom. Puzzled, Eri followed the steam trail to the bathroom, slowly opening the door. Even more steam burst out, Eri covering her eyes in the process. She peeked through the curtain and noticed Sayumi.

"SAYUMI!" Eri shouted, grabbing on to her. She didn't care how hot the water was, it almost stinged her, but she didn't care. She turned the water off, and took her to the living room. "Sayumi, Sayumi, wake up!" Eri couldn't think of anything else to do. "Eri." Sayumi moaned, smiling a little bit. Eri was too shocked, but she helped the bunny go to her bedroom, telling her to put on some clothes.

While she was waiting she looked at the paper on the table. Her eyes widened with ten times more shock that she had before. She recalled all those memories with Sayumi, they were known as "Usa-chan and Kame". The two bonded so well. Eri had a crush on Reina for a long time, and the two eventually started going out in high school. Eri knew Sayumi was acting weird, but she was so oblivious at the time.

Eri had the same feelings for Sayumi when her and Reina's relationship was going downhill. Sayumi comforted her through everything. Why didn't she noticed this before?

"Sayumi, I love you too." Eri said a little too loudly. A certain bunny was right there in the foyer, staring at her. "What?" Eri could tell that Sayumi was now fully awake. "I love you." Eri repeated, running to the puzzled bunny. "You-you do?" Before Eri could answer the question, she quickly kissed Sayumi on the lips.

Sayumi wanted more. She was hungry for those curled lips. She deepened the kiss, showing how much she loved Eri. Eri wasn't really surprised, but now that the two are together, the timing was perfect.

There was just one thing on that sheet that stood out to Eri:

I'll always wait for you to come to me Eri, you know I'm there for you....

Akai (Chapter Three: Secret)

2009-08-08T15:59:00.002-05:00

Wow, her house is amazing. It's very big and spacious, if only I could buy a house like this and not be stuck in an apartment with Sayu. I need to find a job, and fast. "You can sit down if you want to." I stopped spacing out, walking to the couch. "Oh, okay. You have nice furniture." I complimented, mentally kicking myself. Why did I say that? "Thank you. Are you hungry? I can make something." And this is the girl who is in my dream? "Sure." I replied, still staring in her direction. "Take your jacket off, it's just us." She thinks I'm nervous? She sounds nervous at the moment.

"I wanted to talk about that dream." I slowly unbuttoned my jacket. Ai just stood there, gazing at me again. "What?" I could feel my cheeks heat up again. "Nothing." Ai took her gaze off of me and opened the refrigderator door and peeked inside. "Hmm..." All I could see was her butt. She's got a nice butt, I can't stop staring at it. Oh god, what am I doing. I quickly went back to unbuttoning my jacket to hide my crimson face. "We can have some tea!" she offered, getting two cups. "I'm fine with that." I took off my jacket and put it beside me.

"So, about that dream, it was strange wasn't it?" Ai asked, carefully walking over to me with the tea and sitting down right next to me on the couch. "Yes, it was strange," I replied, taking a sip from my tea. "I kept having this dream repeatedly and I didn't know why." "Until I met...you." We turned looked at each other, surprised that we said those words at the same time.

Then there was a ding, making the both of us jump at the same time. "That's my phone." She put her tea down on the table and picked it up, once again scanning through all those messages. She made a "tch" sound and put the phone down. "Who was that?" I questioned. "My friend, her name is Reina." Reina? Her friend?!? My eyes narrowed. "Ugh...." I muttered, hoping Ai wouldn't hear me. Unfortunately, she looked up at me, raising an eyebrow. Why does she have to be so cute?

"Did you say something?" She finally asked, tilting her head. "No." I quickly replied, taking another sip of my tea and placed it on the table. "Really? It sounded like you said something." "Nope, nothing at all." Why am I lying? "Okay, I'll buy that story." "What did she say?" Ai stopped messing with her phone. "She's calling me 'Saru-chan'. She wants to know about you, but I'm not telling her." Oh, so that's why. "Then I shouldn't be jealous." I muttered again, this time a little too loudly. Thank goodness she didn't hear me, because she didn't even look up.

It was quiet. Too quiet. The atmosphere in the room was irregular, and I decided to change the subject. "So-" I was suddenly interrupted with a vibration in my pants pocket. I rolled my eyes and sighed, flipping open the vexatious device. (also known as my phone.) It was a text message from Sayu. Seriously, what's up with all these text messages?

Where are you?!?!

I decided to ignore the message, putting the device back in my pocket. Ai let out a nervous chuckle. "Sayumi, she's my roommate." I replied blatantly. "What did she want?" Now she's asking the same questions that I asked earlier about Reina. "She wanted to know where I am, but I'm not telling her." Dang, is she jealous or something? Well, I'm jealous too, but we just met...so why am I feeling this way?

I felt a lump form in my throat. My heart was throbbing every second, making me take a deep breath. All of a sudden, I couldn't stop staring at her lips. I wanted to taste them so badly...

I leaned in towards Ai, my eyes closing slowly. Before I could close mine, she closed her eyes too, her arms circling around my neck. Our lips were about to collide before we were interrupted by a sudden ring. I also felt another vibration in my pants pocket, making me cover my mouth from yelling in the process. "Sayu." "Reina." We groaned and answered our phones. Ai went somewhere in the house while I answered the phone.

"What do you want Sayu?!?" I angrily shouted, putting my hand on my forehead. "I just wanted to say hello!" Her voice is irritating me. "Aren't you with Eri?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. I heard giggling in the background. Well that answered my question. "Yes." Sayu replied. "Hi JunJun!" Eri shouted into the reciever, I cringed. "Er...hi Eri," I greeted, still keeping the phone away from my ear in case more shouting was coming. "Did you call just to annoy me?" "Yes." The two said at the same time in their usual sing-song voice. "Too bad, I'm busy at the moment." I hung up before they could say anything.

I still waited for Ai to come back in the spacious living room, but I couldn't hear any footsteps. "Where is she?" I whispered under my breath, getting up from the couch. I decided to go to the hall, hearing a distant voice. I found the door to Ai's room, but I didn't have the courage to knock on the door. I mean, it is her bedroom. Another lump formed in my throat, but I swallowed it down. I didn't hear anything else from the room, so I finally knocked.

The door was ajar. I was puzzled, but I stepped inside. My heart was thumping again, I didn't know what else was going to happen. "A-Ai-chan?" I stammered, looking nervously in the room. I sat down on the soft bed, twiddling my fingers. I don't know what's going on.

"JunJun, what are you doing in here?" Ai yelped, dropping her phone. "I-I was searching for you." I explained. Why am I so nervous? "It's okay." She sat down next to me. "That little thing we had was very-" Nice." I interrupted her, focusing on her lips.

I didn't even know we were leaning in, but we were. Her lips were very soft, I'm glad I could taste them. After a few minutes, we pulled away from panting a little. Then I realized something. "Hey, we're on your bed." "Yes, we are." Her face was crimson, and she was biting her lip. I started laughing, smiling. "What's wrong, did I do something?" "Oh no, it's so cute when you do that." I could tell that I was crimson too. Ai chuckled, standing up from her bed. "Um, are you busy? Do you need to go somewhere?" I shook my head in reply. I had no plans today, as usual. "Really? That's odd." "I'm trying to find a job, but that's about it." I shrugged my shoulders.

Ai sat back down on the bed, but this time she was even closer to me. I shivered, losing count of how many times I was blushing. "You okay down there?" I teased, expecting her to look up at me. Well, I got what I wanted. "I'm fine down here...." We were both gazing at each other now, and our lips met again.

I can't believe I have all these feelings in one day.

JunJun

Oh my god, she is the girl in my dream...this is a very awkward situation. She is a very pretty girl, I have to call her later. I found myself in the swarm of people in the crowded streets. "I need to get out of here," I quickened my pace, realizing I was going way too slow. As I walked for what seemed to be a while, the swarm decreased.

"Eh? Ai-chan?" I heard footsteps running towards me. I then turned around, and I was face to face with a certain bean. "Yes Risa?" I grunted, holding tightly to the book I was reading earlier. "Oh, you dropped something." Risa picked up the piece of paper, my eyes expanded in size. "Oooh, what'st this?" She teased, waving the paper.

"Give it to me Risa.” I held out my hand, giving her a glare. “Nope.” she replied, holding the paper higher. There was no way I could reach that high. “Tell me, what's on this paper?” “Nothing.” “You’re not being specific.” Risa shook her head. “Where are you going?” I decided to change the subject. She brought her arms down, and I took the paper from her hands. “Well, I’m going to-” She looked down at her hands, but continued talking. “Anyway, I’m going over to Tanakacchi’s house.” “And how many times have you said that?” I started counting in my head. Risa has mentioned Reina a lot. Are they-no, that can’t be right. “Um, a lot?” Risa replied, shrugging her shoulders.

“So, are you coming with me?” Risa asked, giving me a mega-watt smile. “No, I’m going to go home and finish reading this book, it’s very interesting.” “Whatever Ai-chan, I’m going now.” She waved goodbye, and headed the opposite direction. Well that was random, I must keep track of this information. I finally made it to my house, and I unlocked the door.

“Hello home.” I greeted, closing my eyes. I like being in the comfort of my home. Even though I was out for an hour, I still liked to be at home relaxing. That is, until I recieved a text message from a certain yankii:

Why aren’t you here?!?

I squeaked, covering my mouth. I finally thought of something to reply back to the text:

I want to be at home.

That should be better. I put my phone down, but it dinged again. I huffed in annyonance and picked it up.

It’s some girl, isn’t it?

I immediately thought of JunJun when she text that. My cheeks were red from the thought. I didn’t text her back. Instead, I went to my room with the book. The entire house was silent, which has always been like that. Sometimes I like it, other times I don’t. This is one of those times where I don’t want it to be silent.

The ringing of my cellphone broke the silence. I jumped up, slammed my book, and ran to the table in the living room. I picked up the phone, and I saw an unknown number. My heart increased rapidly while I pressed the send button.

“Hello?” I hesitantly answered, my hand shaking badly. I’ve never been this nervous before. “Um, is this Takahashi-san?” the voice calmly asked on the other line. “J-JunJun?” I stammered a little. “Oh, so it is Takahashi-san! Yes, this is JunJun.” My heart started thumping. "Please, call me Ai-chan." "S-Sorry." JunJun stuttered. I could tell that she was feeling the same way, wait could she?

But she said I look familar too, even while stuttering. Wow, I really didn't expect this to happen. I didn't think dreams could come true, especially in an strange way!

"Um, Ai-chan? I've been calling you for how many times?" I shook my head and I was out of my thought bubble. "I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop-" "Thinking about me?" I could feel my cheeks heat up when she said that. I didn't know what to say then. "Well, yeah, but in a different way..." Crap, that didn't sound right.

All I could hear was JunJun laughing on the other line. "Yeah, me too...but there was something about you that I need to know..." "..Um...okay." I hesitantly answered. My hand was shaking, and my cheeks were probably crimson by now.

"I had a dream, the background was red." JunJun's voice was wobbly explaining the dream. "There was a shadow, and a girl walked up to me and repeated my name. She looked like you though."

I didn't say anything. I couldn't say anything. That's exactly how it happened. It's creepy that I just met this girl, and she's the girl in my dream.

"This is creepy, but..." I took a deep breath before continuing. "I had the same dream." We didn't say anything until JunJun suggested something. "Where do you live?" Confused, I told her my address. "Oh, I've seen that place before..I'll see you in a few minutes!" She hung up before I said anything.

My phone dinged. I had 3 missed text messages: All of them from Reina:

Ai-chan! Who is she?

If you don't tell me who she is, I'm going to call you Saru-chan from now on!

SARU-CHAN! SARU-CHAN! SARU-CHAN!

I cringed at the "Monkey-chan" reference. I don't think I look like a monkey at all. Someone knocked on the door, and I opened it. "Hello JunJun." I greeted, bowing. "Hi Ai-chan." JunJun greeted, bowing also.

"Um, JunJun can I ask you something?" My eyes darted to the floor. "Sure." she replied, giving me an odd stare. "Do I look like a monkey?" She then giggled, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. "No silly, you look gorgeous." she replied, taking my hands.

I'm starting to like her, a lot.

Rondo (Chapter Fifteen: Caution)

2009-08-04T22:09:00.003-05:00

The sun shined brightly behind the curtains that covered the window. When is Reina going to come back? She would return before sunrise. "Odd." I didn't realize I was talking until Ai-chan started hugging me tighter. "What's odd?" "Oh, um...nothing." I replied, hugging her back. "Something's wrong though..." Closing my eyes I told her that Reina hasn't been back yet, and it's unusual. Ai-chan titled her head, raising her eyebrows. "She must have been late." I burst out laughing, I'm so teasing her when she gets here.

Suddenly, I heard the window open, and someone stepped in until she got tangled in the curtains. "Dang it, who put the curtains here?!?" Reina, of course. "Shhh, you'll wake my parents-" "Ai-chan, what's going on in there?!?" The moment I heard banging, Ai-chan immediately pushed me off of the bed. Reina somehow "won" the battle she was having with the curtain. I slipped under the bed, hoping that no one would see us here. "Come in," Ai-chan's voice was distant, even though she was right above us.

"Where the heck have you been Reina?" I asked, trying to keep a straight face, but I couldn't help but laugh. Her hair was a mess! "What's all that?" I pointed to pieces of paper that was scattered all over the floor, most of it was outside of our hiding place. "Oh sh-" Reina slowly creeped out from under the bed to collect everything. The door slammed open, thank god Reina got all the paper and was safely in our hiding place again.

"Eri just called," Someone was already sitting on the bed obviously. I closed my eyes tightly, Reina was trying to organize everything, perusing each word. I still wanted to know what that was, but I decided to listen to the conversation. "She was wondering if you want to go shopping with her." Didn't she know that Ai-chan was a vampire? Then again, her last name is Kamei, she's so slow. "Um, no thank you Father." "Nice reply Ai-chan." Reina whispered while getting everything organized.

"Okay then Ai-chan, do whatever you have to do..." They left, slamming the door behind them. "And here I go thinking that something bad was going to happen." That was a good thing though, I would have been scared if they found out about me and Reina. Then they would know, well, everything! I don't want that to happen! "Move Reina." I playfully pushed her in order for her to move. "Fine, fine, hold on a minute." Reina stored everything in the folder, and she got out from under the bed, I followed after her.

"What is that?" Ai-chan asked, pointing to the folder. "I'm about to show you two lo-" "Keep it up or you're dead Shorty." I threatned, sitting next to Ai-chan on the bed. "Anyway, I'm about to show you two." Reina ignored my threat, opening the folder and giving me the first page of information. "It's the tracker demon information that possessed Eri's body." "All these activities and events, this is very-" "Who found this?" Ai-chan interrupted me, sounding cautious. "Risa, you remember my past trainer right?" I thought for a minute, wasn't it that Maki girl? It has to be! "Goto Maki?" My answer came out as a guess. "Yes, she collected all this information." She gave us the folder. "I saw her today, and she loves me." "USO!" I shouted once I heard the news. "Geez, Reaction Queen what's your problem?" Reina huffed in annoyance. "I have no problem, it's just strange to see you fall in love with your own trainer." "Well, well....YOU HAD AYA!" She was fuming now, her cheeks were red. I wasn't surprised since I was teasing. Aya wasn't a bad trainer, she was actually good.

"Ai-chan, are you still weak?" Reina asked Ai-chan quickly. I was worried too, since she was very quiet. "A little." she muttered, still looking the information that was contained in that folder. "That's it, she needs blood." Reina's eyes squinted and her lips were pale and thin, forming a little smile. Ai-chan nodded slowly, getting off of the bed and jumping out of the already open window. "You didn't close the window?" I asked Reina, giving her a glare. "Sorry, I was too busy having a fight with Curtain-san over there." I then moved the curtains out of the way and jumped out of the window, Reina followed me. We joined Ai-chan, who was still struggling but trying to put up a strong front.

We have to be careful next time Ai-chan's weak like this.
*************************************************************************************************
I told her about JunJun. Of course I was nervous, but Koharu seemed to understand everything. "Well, I saw Sayu outside today too." I looked outside, it wasn't really the afternoon yet. Maybe I'm slow on time and it is the afternoon. "What time?" I smirked, curious to know about this. "1-2 AM." Koharu replied, shrugging. "It's something she encountered earlier, but that's not the point." "Then, what's the point?" I asked.

"LinLin, you like this vampire girl, um...JunJun right?" God, it's like she knows me. Well, of course since we are best friends, but still..it's scary sometimes. "Well, yeah..." I replied, looking down. "You should look for her later, she'll probably find you by then." I nodded slightly, picking at my nails.

I can't believe I like a vampire. It's odd, but interesting at the same time. I've never had these feelings before.

"Now, where's the food, because I'm hungry, and I want to try some of your Chinese food." Koharu rubbed her tummy. "Food...." I was drooling at the scent from downstairs. "I guess that explains that we have some?" She opened the bedroom door, and the scent made my stomach grumble.

"Itadakimasu!" We shouted at the same time and ran downstairs.

Akai (Chapter One: Dream)

Red.

That's all I can see, pure red. I blinked several times, but I keep seeing the same background repeatedly. What is this? Why am I seeing this? The red background fades away, and it's now dark. Then there is a shadow. It's a person, I can tell. Light surrounds the person, I squint my eyes, still nothing. Why is this happening? What's going on?

"JunJun....." the voice sounded like a girl. So the person's a girl? She walks closer to me, I can see her now. I open my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. What's wrong with me? "JunJun...." she repeats, wrapping her arms around me. I could feel my cheeks burning. My eyes grew bigger by the second. She looks up at me and smiles.

Her smile is so....flawless. Somehow I smile too. I close my eyes and open them again, but the girl disappears. What? Where did she go?

I woke up, looking around at my bedroom. The sun peeked behind the curtains, making me squint my eyes a little. My eyes darted over to the alarm clock, the bright numbers said that it was 7:15. I sighed, sitting up in my bed and rubbing my eyes. "I've been having this dream for how long?" I mumbled, slowly walking to the door.

I bumped into something, no, someone. I lost my balance and fell onto the hard ground. "That's a nice way to be fully awake in five minutes." I was grumpy. "Why the frown JunJun?" I looked up and noticed the person held out her hand. "I just woke up Sayu." I took her hand, and she helped me up. "This isn't like you JunJun, you never wake up early." She's right, this isn't like me at all.

"Yeah, yeah whatever," I walked past her and went to the kitchen. I grabbed a banana, peeling that ugly yellow skin off of it. Sayu rushed past me and was about to open the door, but she looked back at me. "You're acting weird JunJun." She raised an eyebrow. "I'm fine." I replied, taking another bite of my banana. "Is that all you're going to eat?" "Probably." I shrugged my shoulders. "You're going out soon?" "Maybe, aren't you late for something?" "OH YEAH, I HAVE TO MEET ERI!" Sayu slammed the door behind her, I locked the door right after she left. I finished my banana, and threw the peel away.

I had already prepared what to wear, so I got dressed. I unlocked the door, closed it behind me, and locked it. My stomach growled when I stepped out into the crowded and busy streets. "I guess the banana wasn't enough?" I asked myself, my eyes scanning the streets to find some place where I can eat. "I can go to the coffee shop then." I continued my short walk in the sea of people.

The coffee shop wasn't far away from where I was at the moment. Thank goodness, because I didn't want to be too far away from the apartment, I might go back there soon. I entered the shop and got some coffee and sat down at a table, taking a sip. That dream, I have had that dream numerous times. Does it mean something?

I spotted a shorter girl who was reading a book, taking a sip of her coffee too. She was very focused, her eyes scanning over each word. I couldn't help but stare at her. She had that aura, just like the one I had in the dream. But I don't even know her, I should leave her alone. She started laughing, a smile formed on her lips. "Eh?" My eyes expanded in size.

She looks familiar.

A faint blush appeared on my cheeks, my eyes darting down to the half-empty cup. I took my last sip before going to the girl's table. I'm nervous, but this girl reminds me of that girl in my dream.

"Um, is this seat taken?" I asked nervously, my lips tingling. She didn't say anything, but she waved her hand. I sat down anyway, continuing the talk, "How is the story?" "Good." She didn't take her eyes off the book. It's like she's completely absorbed in it! "Excuse me, I'm trying to talk to you." I warned. "Okay then, so-" She stopped and stared at me, her eyes sparkling. "I'm so sorry about that." "It's alright," I laughed. "I had to come over here."

She didn't say anything, but she gave me a dazed look. I stopped laughing, clearing my throat and looking down again. "You know," she pointed to me. "You look very similiar, I think I've seen you in a dream before." I paused, and looked up. "Y-you look familiar too." I stuttered under my breath. She's had the same dream too!?!

"What's your name, and can I get your number?" I asked her immediately. I need to keep in contact with her. I want to talk to her again. "I should ask you the same." She ripped a piece of paper in half, giving me the paper. I wrote down my name and number as quickly as possible. I gave the paper to her, and she gave her paper to me. "We will see each other again." She then got up and left the coffee shop, leaving me with an odd expression. My eyes immediately darted to the paper, and there was her name and number. But what I really liked was her name:

Takahashi Ai

What a beautiful name.

Oyasumi #17

2009-08-01T23:55:00.002-05:00

Erika's graduating. That's right. She's graduating to become a full-time model, while I'm stuck here with all these kids. I mean, what am I going to do? I know I'm the leader of C-ute, but I need Erika beside me when I need help. Now I have to be independent. Tears spilled from my eyes like a waterfall. Why does she have to go so soon?

When she announced that she was leaving C-ute at the concert, I tried not to break down. I didn't want to disappoint the fans. This sucks, I don't want her to go! I wiped my tears, and I looked at my reflection in the mirror in the dressing room. I looked deplorable! This isn't like me at all. I quickly wiped my tears away when I heard the door make a creaking sound when it opened.

"Maimi?" A girl peeked in the room. "Yes Airi?" I forced a small smile to let her know I was alright. "How are you?" My smile faded, and a frown appeared. "How am I?" I muttered in a dark voice. "HOW AM I?" I don't know what got into me, but the moment Airi asked me that question, I erupted. "I don't know Airi! Everyone's graduating! First Megumi, then your beloved Kanna, AND NOW ERIKA! WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO C-UTE AIRI!?!" Tears were building up and pouring from my eyes. I sat back down in the chair, sobbing uncontrollably.

The look on Airi's face was shocking. Tears were forming in her eyes too, but she didn't move at all. Was it something I said? "Airi, I'm so sorry." I apologized when I realized what I just said. "No, I know what you mean Maimi," Airi's voice was fading. "I miss Kanna too, and to see Erika go like this is so soon." I froze, stunned. Silence filled the air before I spoke, "I don't know what's going to happen now Airi, I don't want anyone else to leave." Airi sat in a chair across from me, taking my hand. "I don't want Chisa, Mai, or Nakky to leave us, they are underrated though..." "Not helping Airi." I tried snatching my hand away from Airi's, but she squeezed it tightly. "They're not going to leave us Maimi, I'm sure." She smiled, letting my hand go.

I was still crying. I still couldn't believe Erika's gone, I haven't even told her the most important thing in our relationship. Sure we are friends, always helping each other out, always supporting each other, always hanging out, always celebrating each other's birthdays, but-

I love her.

It had to be so sudden. She had to leave, didn't she? "But Airi, I-" "I know you love her Erika, like how I love Kanna, you have to tell her Maimi, this is your last chance." She was right, I have to find her. I must find her, she's everything to me and I'm glad she came into my life. "Airi," My eyes darted at her, a gasp escaped from her lips. "Thank you very much." "No problem Maimi," Airi walked to the door and opened it. "Tell her, like how I told Kanna before she left." She grinned before exiting my dressing room.

I changed into my normal outfit, putting the costume up. I opened the door, and a clutter of people were in the hall, talking about random things that I didn't care about. All I wanted was Erika. I need to tell her now before anyone else talks to her. "Excuse me," I pushed past the Eggs. I spotted Chisa and Nakky talking to each other. "Hey guys, have you seen-" "Erika? She's in the dressing room." Chisa interrupted pointing to the right. I headed towards my destination, running as fast as I could.

But before I could even knock on the door, I was crying. The name "Umeda Erika" was on the door, just like any other dressing room door that has our names on it, but this hit me the hardest. She's not going to graduate until October, but I'm really upset to see her go. I hesitantly knocked on the door. "Coming." Erika sang in her sing-song voice. I'm going to miss that voice.

She opened the door, seeing my distraught face. Her expression changed as she nodded for me to come in. "Maimi, something wrong?" she asked, her eyes filled with curiousity. I was about to speak, but she put her finger over my lips. "It's about my graduation isn't it?" She didn't let me answer, not even with a nod. "Maimi, after Kanna left, and me being underrated in C-ute, I couldn't take it anymore. To be honest, I wanted to become a model. I've got the look, and you know that." She took her finger off of my lips. "You can do it on your own Maimi, trust me."

Erika was right, she's become so gorgeous. She was fit to be a model. I support her decision, I'm happy she's moving on. At least she will still be in the media, but just modeling. She was hesitant to say something, I could tell by the little gasps. I was hesitant too, gulping

"There's something I want to tell you." We said at the same time. Erika walked closer to me, wrapping her arms around my waist. "You go first..." I whispered, wanting to know if she has the same feelings for me that I have for her. No response. There was little space between us, but we were close. Very close.

Our lips collided softly. I didn't want to pull away, this was the best moment of my life. Her hold on me was pretty tight. Hot tears poured from our eyes. We knew we are going to miss each other. We pulled away, looking into each other's eyes. "I love you Erika," I finally admitted my feelings for her. "Thank you for being there for me through all these obstacles, you are the best thing that has happened in my entire life." Erika just stared at me, panting. "I love you too Maimi, please think of me when you deal with Nakky, Mai, Chisa, and Airi." I looked at my watch, and I noticed that it was almost nine o' clock.

"It's almost nine o' clock, I have to go." I whispered under my breath, heading to the door. But before I could leave, Erika's grip on my hand was tighter. "Always think of me Maimi, I will think the same when I'm modeling." I nodded enthusiastically. "I won't forget you Erika." She let go of my hand, waving goodbye. I waved back, and I closed the door.

I'll never forget you Erika, because I love you.

Maki....

Her name was repetitive in my mind as I was still heading towards Ai-chan's residence. Looking down at the folder in my hands, I took a deep breath before looking up at the sky. It was brighter, but the sun didn't rise yet. I quickened my pace before, so why am I not doing it now? It's all because of her, Maki. I remember her, my past trainer. She taught me the good and bad things of being a messenger. And the position she's in right now is amazing. I've had feelings for her in the past, but now...I don't know. My heartbeat quickened for the billionth time, I stopped walking. "Maki..." The name escaped my lips. "Goto-san..." I smiled.

"Yes?" I paused, my train of thought was interrupted. I looked in all directions, but no one was here. Strangely, the voice sounded like Maki. "I must be thinking things." I whispered to myself, continuing towards my destination. I could hear footsteps near me, so I started walking faster. "Reina? Is that you?" The same, familiar voice asked me. I stopped in my tracks and looked up, I didn't even know I was looking down the entire time.

It's her...

"Nice to finally see you Reina." Maki greeted, baring her fangs. I could feel my cheeks burning. "Nice to see you again...Maki." I hesitated. "So, how are you doing?" Maki walked with me, looking at the folder. "Oh, so you have the Takahashi-Kamei case going on." "Um...yeah." I stammered.

"Why are you so quiet?" Maki looked at me with a concerned expression. "You talk a lot, I missed that about you." I stared into her eyes, not saying anything. I still held on to the folder tightly, which was a surprise. "Maki-"

"We've been distant," Maki interrupted me before I finished. "I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, and I'm happy to finally-" "I'm glad to see you too." I walked closer to her, our bodies touched. A gasp came from the both of us, my cheeks were turning crimson.

All of a sudden, Maki's lips collided with mine. I didn't expect it, but I liked it. I don't know why she did it though. "What I'm trying to say is, I've loved you for a long time Reina." Maki was unpredictable at times. My throat became dry, and I looked at the folder. Strange, I'm still holding this? I thought I was going to croak when I said these words, but I didn't. I looked into Maki's eyes and whispered,

"I love you too, Maki."
************************************************************************
The sun peeked out from the clouds, bringing in sunshine. Well, since I was caught outside after 9 PM, my parents allowed me to going on my date with Sayu. But I had to come back after I took her home.

My phone vibrated, and I picked it up. Checking the caller ID, I noticed that it was LinLin. What could she be calling me for? "Hello?" I mumbled, getting up from my bed and picking out an outfit for the date. "Koha, you have to come over to my house, it's important."

"Important? How important?" I asked quickly, getting a towel. "Just come over to my house." My eyes were big. "What time?" "How about...1 PM?" I looked at my alarm clock. It was 12 PM. "Okay, I'll be there." I replied, and I hung up.

I took my shower quickly and put on my clothes. I put my phone in my purse and ran downstairs. "Koharu, where are you going?" My father stood up, giving me a mean look. "I'm going to LinLin's house," I answered. "She needs help on something." That was a lie, but a good one! "But, you're not going to eat?" My mother was concerned. "No, I'm going to eat over at her house, bye!" I closed the door and headed to my destination.

I knocked on the door, and she opened it, greeting me. "Hello Koha." "Hi LinLin, um...so what is it?" I bowed, curious to know why she wanted me to come over to her house. LinLin took a few deep breaths to tell me. "Um..I have a date in two hours." I got up and walked to the door.

"I met someone." A smirk was plastered on my face when I heard LinLin say those words. "So, what's her name?" "Well, she saved me." Eh? What? "Save you from, what exactly?" I'm interested now. "From being killed by a creepy vampire." And she sounds serious too.

This must be the weirdest day of my life.

"You look tired Reina, something on your mind?" Risa asked me, concerned. Well, of course something's on my mind. I've been sitting down like this for how long? And also, I have to face Yossie and Miki. Yes, them. "Um, Reina? Reina..." Risa kept shaking me until I had her full attention. She's going to give me a headache if she keeps doing that to me. "What?" I muttered under my breath. I was a little dizzy, and I made a mental note to myself:

Pay attention to Risa, or you will get dizzy.

Ai-chan's voice interrupted my thoughts. "Can you guys shush? My parents would kill me if they see you two here." She threw a pillow at us, and she laid back down. She was quiet the entire time we were here. "Well, is something on your mind Ai-chan?" I asked, throwing the pillow back at her. "I feel a little weak." she replied, putting the pillow to the side. Oh yeah, how could I forget?

I opened the window and climbed out. But before I closed the window, I asked, "Are you going to take care of her Risa?" "Yes, yes, Reina." Risa replied, stroking Ai-chan's hair. "Okay." I closed the window and jumped off of the tree branch.

The scenery wasn't pretty. The grass was damp, the streets were slippery, but at least the sidewalk was fine. Being the messenger sucks. I'm not late for anything when I have meetings with Yossie and Miki. They're always too busy whenever I arrive on time.

The black hue in the sky suddenly turned to a dark blue color. Okay, so maybe I am arrive a little later than usual, but Yossie and Miki won't mind it, right?" Trying not to panic, I started to take deep breaths. This was kind of helping until I got to the building. I took my last deep breath and went inside.

This time I didn't even bother asking for Yossie and Miki. The only thing I was focusing on was their office. I opened the door, seeing the two shuffling through papers and stuff and then looking up at me. "Tanaka," Yossie glared at me, her tone was loud. "Reina." Miki greeted, groping me. Crap, I'm going to be yelled at and I've been Miki'd. "Hi to the both of you?" I put on an innocent smile, trying to lighten the office since the atmosphere was a little awkward and dark.

"Anyway," Yossie shook her head, pointing to the seat across from her. I sat down in it, gluping. She can be scary at times, and you don't want to be scared of her. "Has Eri been fully recovered again?" "Yes she has," I replied, nodding. "She doesn't really remember a thing expect that she knows about us being vampires." Yossie and Miki looked down at a folder that was filled with information. "You do know that tracker demons tend to pick up more than that, right?" Miki asked me, sliding the folder on the table from their side to my side. "No, I didn't know that." I shook my head, reading carefully.

Name: Kamei Eri
Date of Birth: December 23, 1988
Bloodtype: AB
Class: Human
Aquantinces: Michishige Sayumi, born July 13, 1989, Class: Human; Takahashi Ai, born September 14, 1986, Class: Vampire.

10 PM: Kamei, possessed, was walking in the street toward the Takahashi residence until she noticed Takahashi, who was walking outside also. They bumped into each other, and then Kamei text Michishige on her cellphone, to which Michishige didn't reply. Kamei then called.....

"Where did you guys get this information?" I asked, curious. "Do you remember your past trainer?" My eyes stopped in their tracks as I tried to think of my trainer. I looked at Yossie and Miki, shocked. "Goto...Maki?" I managed to finally say her name. She tracks down all the information about these tracker demons now? I thought she was training another vampire! "Yep, she seems to have progressed as the messenger." Yossie smiled. Miki rolled her eyes, and muttered under her breath, "Whatever." "So Maki got all this information, but how?" Again, I'm always curious as to how things work around here. "You'll see when you get to be in her position." Miki replied. She was already getting sick of my curiousity. Why do humans say, 'Curiousity kills the cat'?

"Keep the information," Yossie returned the folder. "Niigaki and Takahashi need to know about this too." "Yes." I held the folder in my arms tightly, making sure that nothing falls out of it. "It's nice seeing you again, Reina." Miki emphasized my name before groping me. My eyes went big, and I turned around. Crap, I've been Miki'd again. Oh well, I'll live.

When I got outside, the sky was a little brighter. I quickened my pace, clutching the folder to my chest. If all of the contents fell out, I would be dead by Risa's Reaction Queen moments, and I don't want that.

But I have an odd feeling, that this isn't the last time we will see this tracker demon.
************************************************************************
Eh? Why am I up so early? I don't want to wake up early, I want to crawl back in my shell. I pulled the covers over my head to try to go to sleep but I couldn't. I slowly got up, my head spinning in the process. I decided to call Sayu, since she's already hyper in the morning. "Sayu?" I asked when she mumbled an odd greeting. "Do you want to go somewhere?" On her line, I could tell that her voice was breaking while hesitating to answer. "I-I have a date." "With who?" I smirked. I can't believe Sayu has a date. "K-Koharu," Sayu whispered nervously. "Listen Eri, I have to go." Her voice wobbled before hanging up.

"Aw, this sucks." I pouted. Then I guess I have nothing to do today but go shopping. No, that's a good idea! I do need some clothes. "Yes!" I muttered to myself, picking out an outfit and getting dressed. I went downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Eri, hello, are you okay?" My mom greeted me, walking me over to the table. It took me a while to respond. "Oh, yeah, I'm doing alright, I think I'm going to do some shopping today." "Good idea." My father murmured from behind the newspaper that was covering his face. "Just make sure you don't spend too much money on that credit card." My mom warned, pointing at the item I was holding in my hand. I looked down, and quickly put it in my wallet. "Don't worry, I won't spend too much." I laughed, eating my cereal.

After all, I do have a day to myself, but I'm wondering why Sayu is scared. I think I'll talk to her about it later.

Rondo (Chapter Twelve: Aftershock)

2009-07-20T14:14:00.003-05:00

*****************************************************************************************************
"So, JunJun..." I smirked before asking my trainer a question. "What?" JunJun replied, not looking up from the damp grass. "That human girl-" "Her name is LinLin." JunJun interrupted before I could say her name. The tone in her voice went from serious to defensive. Aw, she's standing up for LinLin, how cute. "You like her, don't you?" I blurted, bursting out into laughter.

"No." JunJun mumbled quickly, twirling a piece of her hair. Even though it was dark outside, I could tell that she was blushing. Wow, she's so obvious. "You are such a liar JunJun." I teased, sticking my tongue out. JunJun didn't reply. Instead, she stood still like a statue. After a while she admitted, "Okay, maybe I do, but she was getting attacked by another vampire!" I shook my head. Well, that was all the evidence I needed, but maybe? "Sure." I nodded.

I perused the area, and there were clusters of buildings right in front of us. We had to find a way out. "Where are we?" I asked the first thing that came to my mind. My heartbeat was increasing. "I don't know." JunJun silently replied. "You mean to tell me," I decided to recap. "We ran all the way out here, and now we are lost?" "I guess so." JunJun scanned the area, and she ran off. I might as well follow her.

"JunJun!" I shouted, following her. Gosh, running down these sidewalks are starting to hurt my legs. Didn't I already have enough training? We ran all sorts of directions, I couldn't keep up because my mind was going insane.

Finally, we made it back to the usual, empty-filled streets. The roads were slippery and wet. Of course, because it just rained. After taking a moment to breathe regularly again, I teased JunJun one more time, "You sure you don't like her?" "Aika, I like her okay?" JunJun took a deep breath. Duh, you thought I just realized that?

"I knew it." I laughed, leaning against one building. "Hey, what time is it?" "Probably midnight." JunJun replied, shrugging her shoulders. "We should take a break from training." I suggested. "Yeah, we should." JunJun stood next to me. I wanted to tease her again, but I didn't feel like it, not right now at least.

It's rare for a vampire to have a crush on a human. I hope this doesn't harm JunJun in any way.
**************************************************************************************************
My phone vibrated on my nightstand, waking me up with a tiny yelp. My eyes went to the bright alarm clock. It was 2 AM. Seriously, who could be calling me at this time? I picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. Eh? Sayu? I flipped open the phone immediately and sat up in my bed.

"Sayu? Something wrong?" I was a little groggy and tired, but heck, that just woke me up. "Eri...Eri..." Sayu repeated nervously. Oh my god, did Eri do something to her? "Sayu, what's the problem? Are you okay?" I tried to calm myself down, but it wasn't working since my body started shaking. "I-I'm fine..." Sayu's voice was soft. "You don't sound like it." I was worried. I got out of my bed and got a T-shirt and jeans. "Koha, I'm scared.." Sayu burst into tears over the phone. I knew Eri was her best friend, but..I don't think she would hurt Sayu. "Where are you?" "I'm at the park." The park? She must be very upset.

"I'll be right there." I hung up the phone before hearing Sayu's response. I threw it onto the bed and slipped out of my nightgown and put on my jeans and T-shirt. I put my phone in my jeans pocket. I can't leave the house without it. What if Sayu calls me again?

I snuck past my parent's room, making sure not to make any noise. The stairs creaked a little the moment I walked down them. My eyes were closing each time it creaked, but luckily my parent's didn't wake up. I opened the door and closed it quietly behind me. By that time, I made a run for it.

Thank goodness the park wasn't far away from my house. But why is Sayu still out there at 1 AM? She should be at home sleeping peacefully. I shook my head of all these thoughts. Something's troubling her, and I need to know what it is.

"Sayu?" I asked once I got to the park. There was no sign of her. "I'm right here." I turned around, and I jumped. Thank goodness it was Sayu. "You scared the crap out of me!" I shrieked a little, my voice squeaking in the process. It took me a second to observe Sayu. Her clothes weren't messed up, which was a relief. Her face was tear-streaked. "What happened?" I pulled her into a hug, and she told me everything that happened.

I was stiff after hearing Sayu's explanation. It was silent, and all you could hear were the owls hooting in the early morning. "Sounds like Eri was possessed," I looked at Sayu. "I'm glad she didn't hurt you." Sayu pulled me closer. We were in this embrace for a long time, until I pulled away. "I'm going to go home you do the same okay?" I kissed her before we waved goodbye to each other. "I'll see you at 3 PM!" I shouted, hoping that she wouldn't forget our date.

I got to my house safely, but the lights were turned on, and my father gave me a stern look. "Kusumi Koharu, you are in big trouble."

Crap.

Rondo (Chapter Eleven: Cosmos)

2009-07-14T09:14:00.003-05:00

"Risa, get Ai-chan out of here. Now." Reina instructed, pointing to us. I took Ai-chan's hand, helping her up. God, why did I go to sleep? It's all my fault. I'm going to kill Eri for what she did to her! But Reina has all that covered. Something's wrong with Eri, I must ask Yossie and Miki about this girl.

"I'm sorry this happened Ai-chan," I held her closer to me as I went a different direction. "We are going to the hideout." "W-what?" Ai-chan asked in shock, looking up at me. I couldn't look down at her. She was shaking so badly and she was so weak that she couldn't stand up on her own two feet.

We got to the hideout, and I asked for Miki and Yossie. "In there." The girl told us in her dry voice. While we were walking to their office, the girl asked, "What's up with her?" "None of your business." I rpelied, baring my sharp fangs. People need to mind their own business.

"Yossie? Miki?" I called, looking around. "Niigaki...Takahashi?" Yossie greeted us with concern. "Yeah, it's just the two of us this time." My cheeks flushed. "That's okay, but..Takahashi, why does look like this?" Eh? Is this coming from Miki? Or does she want to grope her again? She better not do that. "It's that Eri girl." I replied angrily, glaring at Miki and folding my arms. "Eri? Kamei Eri..." Yossie left the office, leaving Miki confused and she followed her shortly after. I rubbed Ai-chan's back, trying to make her feel better. Ever since we got in the building, she has stopped shaking, but she was still weak, and she didn't let go of me.

"Ah, Kamei Eri," Yossie came back in the office, Miki was behind her. "Born December 23rd, am I correct?" Ai-chan nodded in reply. "Well, um, how long have you guys been friends Takahashi?" Yossie questioned, her expression was unreadable. "We've been friends since we were little." Ai-chan replied, thinking for a moment. "Mhm..." Yossie observed. "Well, er-Eri is not who you think she is." Duh, why are we here now? "Then...what is she?" Ai-chan asked, her voice filled with curiousity.

"Eri is being possessed by tracker demon." Miki answered, looking down at the ground. WHAT? This isn't good, oh this is not good. I'm going to go ballistic now. "Are you serious?" Ai-chan was shocked, I don't blame her. "USO!" I finally shouted, Miki covering her ears at my Reaction Queen outburst. "No wonder her blood smelled so rich." Ai-chan muttered, shuddering. "But, what are tracker demons?"

"Tracker demons are evil to vampires," Yossie explained. "They possess human's bodies to hunt after vampires in order to 'get to know them better'." So this spirit has been possessing Eri the entire time. I tried to control my anger, clenching my fists tightly. "But they really want to make them become weak and put them in poor condition." "And while the vampire becomes weak, the tracker demon keeps taunting them or touching them until they die." Ai-chan shook her head, angry tears clouded her eyes. Heck, I was upset too.

"So, what do we do?" Ai-chan asked, her eyes were sparkling. "You're going to have to suck Eri's blood, even if it does make you weak." "Will this make her unconscious?" I asked. "Only when the demon leaves her body and vanishes," Yossie replied. "Then Eri will wake up and not remember anything that happened when she was possessed." Ai-chan's eyes grew wider.

"Where's Tanaka?" Miki asked, changing the subject immediately. "She's fighting Eri." I replied. "Get back out there, she could get killed herself." Yossie demanded, and Ai-chan and I ran outside in the cold rain.
**************************************************************************************************
"Okay, now we can solve this one way or the other: Fight or....what the heck." My long nails scraped Eri's arm, leaving blood oozing from her arm and dripping onto the cold, hard pavement. "That's all you can say to me?" Eri laughed, pushing me onto the pavement. I was getting dizzy, and my body became weak. I was speechless.

"Let go of her Eri!" A voice shouted not to far away from us. I looked up and noticed that it was that Sayu girl. Holy crap, I forgot she was a bystander.

Eri ignored her, her hands were on my shoulders, making me become weaker. That did it, I had to get this girl off of me. With all of my strength, I scratched her left cheek, and she climbed off of me. She touched her cheek, growling in anger. She charged at me with full speed, but I simply dodged and she fell. If Risa didn't teach me these moves, I would have been dead right now.

I grabbed the collor of her shirt, and my fist came in contact with her other cheek. I didn't punch her that hard though. I looked over at the bystander, Sayu, right. Why do I keep forgetting her name. "Go home." I instructed, pointing to her. Sayu nodded, and she ran home.

Eri glared at me, trying to pull my hand away from her collar. My arm was shaking due to her touch and the rain, so I dropped her, and she landed on the ground. "You vampires, you are so dead." she struggled to get up. Wait, she's a...."You're a tracker demon?" I blurted. "Yeah." Eri replied, her eyes narrowing.

"I'll handle her Reina." I turned around, Ai-chan right behind me. What is she doing? She's suppossed to be at home. I moved out of the way, and I stood next to Risa. "What is she-" "Just watch." Risa interrupted, smirking.

"Ai-chan," Eri smiled devilishly as Ai-chan approached her. She titled Eri's head to the side. "W-What are you doing?" Eri's voice was alarming. Ai-chan sucked Eri's blood. Oh my god.

"HOLY CRAP THAT'S THE SOLUTION?!?" I shouted before covering my mouth. "Yes, Yossie told Ai-chan about the tracker demons." Risa replied, witnessing the scene. They went to the hideout instead of home? Dang it, I'm going to be Miki'd.

Eri was unconscious for a while. The rain stopped pouring, and it was a clear night. The demon left her body and vanished, and Eri's eyes were fluttering open. "Eh?" she rubbed her neck with one hand and touched her cheek on the other. "Ai-chan?" she whispered, confused. "I'm right here Eri." Ai-chan smiled, helping Eri up. "What happened to me?" "You tripped and fell." Ai-chan let out a nervous laugh. "Fangs...you're a vampire?" Eri laughed. Ai-chan nodded. "Oh yeah..I forgot that you were a vampire." She pointed to us. "And you guys are.." "Her trainers." I replied quickly. "You should go home now," I warned. "Your parents are probably not happy about you being out this long." Eri nodded, and she walked home.

"We should get going too you lovebirds." I teased, laughing as Ai-chan and Risa bopped my head. "Shorty." They teased at the same time. "EH?!? I'm not a shorty!" I folded my arms and pouted. "Think you can make it in Ai-chan?" "Yeah, I'm going to be fine." Ai-chan waved her hand dismissively, and opened the front door. I opened the window and got inside Ai-chan's room with Risa following me and closing it behind her.

I want to go back to sleep now.

Rondo (Chapter Ten: Mirror)

2009-07-10T22:59:00.002-05:00

I fiddled with my hair, looking at my reflection in the mirror. "You are cute Sayu." I repeated to myself, making an expression. I smiled, setting the mirror down and walking over to my bunny nightstand where my pretty pink phone lies. I grabbed it, and I noticed that I had two text messages. One was from Koharu, the other was from Eri. I wasn't surprised, but I started spacing out like Eri for a moment. I clicked on Koharu's message.

Hey Sayu,

Um..well, now that we are together...um..I was wondering...if we can go out sometime? Like maybe..Saturday? I can come over to your house at 3 pm? I hope you don't have anything to do.

Love, Koharu

The heat in my cheeks increased as I grinned. Since today was Friday, I was fine with going on a date with Koharu. "Oh crap, I need to find an outfit!" I muttered, running to my closet and opening the door. After twenty minutes, I picked out a bunny shirt, jeans, and bunny sneakers. The accessories, I will pick those out tomorrow.

Wait, didn't I have another message? I went back to the nightstand and picked up the phone. Oh yeah, another message from Eri. Did I mention that I wasn't surprised? She's probably bored, as usual.

Hey Sayu,

Come outside. Now. I mean it. I found Ai-chan.

Bye.

Eri

It's raining out there! Seriously, I don't want my hair to be messed up! I want to be cute! Eri, why do you make me do these things? Especially when it's raining? She should know this by now!

No. Calm down. Get some rest. Eri is fine. She can handle this by herself. I placed the phone back on the nightstand and went over to my bed. Pink sheets with a bunny blanket. Too bad I didn't get pink pillowcases for my pillows. Oh well.

I snuggled under the covers, closing my eyes. Ah, it feels so good to be in the comfort of my own bed. Now I can dream about my date with Koharu! Also, I can dream about how cute I am!

Silence. Well, except for the rain. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. My eyes were shut tight. My body was fidgeting. The rain was harder, and then thunder burst in the scene. My body jerked at the sound of the thunder. My cellphone rang. I grabbed the phone and answered it, not even looking at the Caller ID.

"You're not coming?" My eyes widened at the voice. She sounded so different, my throat was getting dry. "E-Eri?" I whispered, my voice cracking in response. "So, are you going to come or what? I've got Ai-chan." Why is she doing this crap? I don't want her to interfere, but it is too late. "I'll be right there, don't do anything." I hung up, and I went to the closet again to find an outfit. This time I chose blue shorts and a pink T-shirt.

I snuck past my parents' room and went downstairs. I unlocked the door, closing it quietly. After that, I ran outside. Usually, I would meet up with Eri at the park, but she's probably near Ai-chan's house. I should go over there first. But wait...

HOLY CRAP I FORGOT TO BRING AN UMBRELLA!

Dang Eri, why did you make me come out here in the first place? You just had to know about her didn't you?

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw Eri grabbing Ai-chan by the shoulders. Thunder roared and lighting flashed afterward. "NO!" I shouted. Eri turned around and smiled...in a devilish way. "Finally." She walked over to me, dropping Ai-chan in the process. Ai-chan was shaking, and her body was so weak. "Why are you soaking wet?" Eri asked me, looking confused. Now she wants to play the innocent role. "I thought you were Ai-chan's best friend." I changed the subject immediately, crossing my arms and pouting.

Ai-chan got up quickly, still shaking from the rain. She gave me a frightened look. Eri spun around and shouted, "I'm not letting you go anywhere!" Thunder and lightning strolled in after her outburst. What's up with Eri? I've never seen or heard her act like this before. She looked back at me and replied, "Best friend? Yeah I was her best friend, but there is more to that girl than I thought."

I couldn't say anything, I was in complete and utter shock.
**************************************************************************************************
I was wide awake, my eyes scanning the room. "Rain, how interesting." I mumbled, staring outside the window. Risa was still asleep, but..Ai-chan! Where is she? There was note. I ran over to the table and picked it up.

Gone out

-Ai

I crumbled the paper into a ball. I went over to Risa and started shaking her. "WHAT?!?" Her shout was a Reaction Queen shout. "We need to leave." I warned. "Why?" "Ai-chan's out." She didn't say anything, running over to the window, opening it. I followed after her, climbing out and closing the window behind me.

We ran down the street. I was hoping that nothing bad would happen to Ai-chan. I know Risa would be upset, she's in love with that girl.

We caught up to a shaking Ai-chan standing in the middle of the street. Risa pulled her over to the sidewalk and hugged her, while Ai-chan was holding onto her for dear life. Okay that's it, something's wrong with that Eri girl. I knew it from the start that she's been acting weird lately.

"You." My voice boomed, a flash of lightning appeared behind me. Eri giggled and assumed, "You must be one of Ai-chan's protectors." "No, I am one of her trainers." I corrected, rolling my eyes.

"What did you do to her Eri?!?" Risa cried, angry tears strolling down her face. Dang, that devilish smile appearing on Eri's face again? That's not going to fool me. I know better than that.

But this girl is seriously insane! One minute she's nice, the next she's gone crazy!

"Listen, if you don't tell what the heck is your problem, you are going to pay." I snarled, baring my sharp fangs. She backed away. "I'm not telling you." she snickered, smiling again.

Oh that was it, all hell is going to break loose now.

Rondo (Chapter Nine: Rainfall)

2009-07-06T00:33:00.003-05:00

The sound of raindrops hit the window like bullets. It was nighttime, which is not a good time to be out.

Koharu waved goodbye to me a few hours ago, or else she would have to walk home alone in the rain. I don't blame her, I would go home the moment I heard thunder and lighting.

"LinLin?" I looked up from my Chinese dinner to my parents. The expressions painted on their faces were a look of worry. "You haven't touched your food." My father said sternly. "Is something wrong?" my mother asked with concern. "Um, no." I lied, my body was weak at this point. I've never lied to my parents before. "Are you sure? You can talk to us about anything." I ate my rice, shaking my head in reply. Anything? They must be crazy. "So nothing's on your mind?" My father asked. I didn't bother to look up, but I replied, "Nothing's on my mind." Being the fast eater in my family, I grabbed my plate and put it in the sink.

"I'm going outside." I walked over to the coat rack, getting an odd reaction from my parents. "Be safe, sweetie." I knew that was all my mother could say at the moment. She closed the door behind me, and I put on my coat.

I pulled the hood over my head to prevent my hair from getting wet, or even worse, getting damp. If my hair got wet, I would become the "Reaction Princess" when I get home. Nobody wants to see me like that.

Well, I knew it was raining outside, but I didn't expect it to be pouring! Great, now my hair is going to be wet! This sucks!

Wait, shouldn't my mind be on this vampire thing that Ai-chan has? I don't really believe in vampires...yet. It's not true, it can't be true. There's no way it's true. It can't be right.

Having no clue where I was going, I stopped in my tracks. I knew that I was on a sidewalk, it's raining, and it's dark out!

HOW AM I GOING TO GET HOME?!?

I could hear heavy breathing behind me, someone's hands were on my shoulders. Don't panic LinLin, don't panic. "Looks like I have another victim." Victim? What is this creepy guy talking about. "Fresh blood." THIS GUY'S A CREEPY VAMPIRE?!? Okay, it's time to act now!

I tried to get out of his grip, but the more I kept moving, his grasp on me became tighter. His teeth started sinking into my flesh. I don't want to be unconscious! His teeth started sinking further. I heard footsteps coming our way, and someone shouted, "LET GO OF HER!"

The creepy vampire dude let me go, but I fell face forward in the murky water puddle, both my hood and my hair wet. He is going to pay for this. He ran off, and I started shaking. Like I said before, it was pouring outside.

"Hey, are you okay?" the voice sounded like a girl. My eyes darted to the girl immediately. Her eyes were shining, and her smile was bright. There was something different about her smile though. Wait a minute...are those fangs?!? I started panicking, having a Reaction Princess moment. As if she were reading my mind, she let out a giggle and said, "Don't be afraid of me, I'm not harmful, you're lucky I saved you." I was stunned, I couldn't say anything due to my throat being dry. "Uh..thank you very much, my name is LinLin."

THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY?!? I could burst at any minute. My cheeks reddened at my lame introduction and that smile that this vampire had. She's so cute...Ugh! LinLin stop it! "My name is JunJun." the vampire introduced helping me up. My body shivered a little.

"I don't want to see you hurt again." JunJun kissed my forehead before leaving me. If the sun was out, JunJun would see my crimson face. Thank goodness it was dark. "Let's go Aika!" she called. A girl with short, brown-or black, I couldn't tell-hair jumped from out of nowhere and landed beside JunJun. "Good job!" JunJun exclaimed, giving her a high-five. She must be one of those trainers.

Before the pair ran off, JunJun looked back at me and shouted, "If you get hurt again, I'm going to be there for you!" She dashed off across the empty street, disappearing before my eyes.

I didn't care about my soaked hair anymore. Instead, I tried finding my way home by searching for signs.

Eventually, I found my way home. I arrived late, but there was no response from my parents since they were asleep. I dried my hair before changing into my night clothes, and I went straight to sleep.

That night, I couldn't help but dream about JunJun and the vampire that tried to attack me.
************************************************************************
My eyes opened, seeing the window filled with raindrops. Oh wow, nighttime. I guess I slept through the afternoon. Wait a minute, I did sleep through the afternoon! Darn.

Risa's arm was around my waist, my cheeks burning up at her touch. Reina was fast asleep in my chair; the sun did make her drowsy after all. I thought that this would be a good time to have some alone time to myself and thinking things over.

I carefully took Risa's arm off of my waist, I got out of my bed, and wrote the girls a quick note. I hope this would make sense.

Gone out.

-Ai

I took my raincoat and went down the stairs. "Are you going to get something to eat Ai?" MY father asked me when I turned the doorknob. "YeahsureIwillloveyouDad, bye!" I replied all in one breath, closing the door.

I ran down the street, bumping into something, or someone. I almost fell, but I caught myself.

"Ai-chan, there you are." A girl spoke. It sounded like Eri, but she looked so different. Her eyes were beady, and that turtle-like smile she had, turned into a devilish one in seconds. What is wrong with her?

It's like she's possessed.

"I've been wanting to know more about you." She started walking closer to me. I walked back, trying to avoid her.

WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS GIRL?!?

Oyasumi #16 (Perv)

2009-06-29T10:44:00.002-05:00

Closing the door behind me, I didn't notice JunJun standing right in front of me. I flinched a little, trying not to let out my manly scream. "Did I scare you?" she asked me, taking my hand as we went over to the bed. I had the sudden urge to kiss those soft lips again, and without thinking, I did. Somehow, JunJun flipped me over, breaking the kiss. I pouted and whined, "What was that for?" "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked, lust filling her eyes. "I'm sure." I replied in a husky voice. I kissed her again, but this time she took control. Her tongue slipped in my mouth, and she was straddling my hips. I've never seen this side of JunJun before, and I'm liking it.

She grabbed the end of my shirt, pulling it up slowly until my stomach was exposed. "Oh wow," she whispered in a shaky voice. "You have nice abs...Ai." Eh? Did she just call me Ai? What happened to Leader? And Ai-chan? Her fingers traced over my abs, making me shiver in pleasure. "Are you okay?" JunJun's eyes were still wide in shock. "Yeah, I'm fine." I nodded for her to keep going.

She took my shirt off, my entire upper body exposed. My panties were wet and my eyes were rolling to the back of my head. She quickly took off my bra and it revealed my breasts. JunJun started rubbing them slowly. "JuuuunnnnnnJuuuuuunnn." I moaned. Oh my god, she's so good at this! She's already turning me on. JunJun sucked my hard nipples that I screamed my normal manly scream. JunJun stopped and looked up at me and whispered in my ear, "Don't worry, we're getting to the good part." Her fingers trailed down my chest, then my abs, then to my pants. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. She's going to....

Her lips collided with mine, her tongue slipping in my mouth again. She pulled my pants down quickly, and her eyes darted to my wet panties. "Dang Ai, you're wet." JunJun whispered in my ear, blowing in it. Shivers went down my body as JunJun pulled my panties down and her hands were on my thighs. She was shaking, so was I, but she was shaking even more. I giggled.

I gave her a quick kiss, but JunJun gave me a deeper kiss and stuck her finger inside of me.

I moaned into the kiss, arching my back. I broke the kiss and whispered in her ear, "Further." JunJun gave me a big smile, and stuck two fingers inside of me, this time I was moaning even louder.

She kept going until I finally screamed from pleasure.

"Now that I've done this to you, I want you to do it to me." JunJun poked my cheek playfully. "Okay." I quickly turned her over, JunJun's expression was hilarious.

"It's time to experiment your body." I muttered under my breath, licking my lips.
***********************************************************************************
Yes, Ai is going to...experiment my body. "As long as I get my banana after this?" I put my finger over her lips. "Yessss." Her voice sounded like a hiss for a minute. She put my finger in her mouth, sucking it. I was getting wet already. She's turning me on already. Ai's lips were pressed against mine, our tongues getting in a little "fight". Wow, she's really good at this.

Her hands went under my shirt, taking it off to reveal my upper body. She made a trail with her fingers until she got to my bra. My body was shivering in response to her touch. Ai took off my bra in a few seconds. "That was fa-" Ai interrupted me with another kiss, massaging my breasts. I had no other choice but to keep moaning. "Cute, your face is red." she went down to my breasts, sucking on my very hard nipples. "Oooooooohh, Aaaaaaaiiii." I felt like I was in heaven, my panties were becoming wetter by the minute.

Her fingers went to my pants, taking them off in seconds. She stared my panties and looked up at me with a devilish grin. "You're not just wet JunJun, you're very wet." Heat increased even more in my cheeks. I want her to do it. I've been waiting a long time to be with her.

She took my panties off very slowly, giving me a peck on the lips. "It's going to hurt a little bit." she warned. "I know it's going to feel great Ai," I didn't need to be warned about this part. "Because you are doing it." Ai blushed, putting one finger inside of me. "OH AI!" I screamed loudly, arching my back. That was so unexpected.

"Sorry." Ai's face was crimson. "Why are you apologizing? More." My voice was even huskier. "Good, because I was about to put two fingers in there." She's so bad. I'm loving this. She kept going until I yelled in pleasure.

We were both panting, sweating, and exhausted from our passionate night. My hands ran through her semi-long hair. It was silky, and it had the same kind of strawberry shampoo scent that it carried. Her hands ran through my hair too, and I brought her closer.

"I love you Ai." I confessed, kissing her shoulder. She didn't reply, I guess she was fast asleep.

But before my eyes were shut, Ai replied, "Thank you for being here with me JunJun."

I went to sleep with a smile on my face that night.

Oyasumi #16.5

2009-06-25T21:17:00.002-05:00

I'm so pissed. It's not the fact that I'm the leader of Morning Musume. It's not the fact of the dance rehearsals. It's because my ex-girlfriend Risa is with Eri, her new girlfriend. So now you know why I'm pissed. Actually, you know why I'm pissed and lonely. I hate having this feeling for the past five months.

The last five minutes of rehearsal. Time went by fast this week. Oh well I just feel like going home and crying my eyes out once again. But this isn't like me at all. "JunJun, you're getting it wrong again!" the dance instructor threw her hands up in frustration. I turned around, giving her a concerned look like I always do. But her expression was so funny, I couldn't help but giggle. Her cheeks turned red in embarrassment. She has been staring at me lately, why does she care about me so much? Tears started forming in my eyes, but I looked up at the ceiling to make them stop.

"Okay everyone, you are free to go." the dance instructor told us, leaving the studio. Well, that was fast. She must be tired anyway, after all those dance steps she wanted us to get downpacked. I sighed, and grabbed my water bottle, drinking the cold liquid. I heard Risa and Eri talking about going home with each other along with Reina and Sayu. I rolled my eyes and tried not to crush the water bottle. The four girls left the room, Koharu and LinLin following behind them. I know they're going to take a different cab than the other girls.

I started dancing, looking at my reflection in the mirror. Dancing can only get things off of my mind, then it all hits me once I get home. I could hear a conversation with her and Aika. "Do you want to go home with me, LinLin and Koharu?" I started stretching, I knew JunJun was going to say yes, she always hangs out with them. But the concerned look she gave me for a second was something different.

"No, I'm going to stay with Ai-chan for the night." she replied. What? She's going home with me? I can't believe it, she does care about me. "I understand, she needs somebody to talk too. I'll see you later!" she waved as she ran out of the studio. Tears were forming in my eyes once again. JunJun was just about to leave. I didn't want her to go, so I blurted out, "JunJun..." My voice came out very odd and wobbly.

"Yes?" JunJun's voice was a mixture of panick and concern. Other than Risa, JunJun has always comforted me and she would give me a big smile and comfort me when I got nervous. She's so caring, and I like that. At this point, I just want to sob in her arms. "Please, don't go, don't leave me here." JunJun turned around, her eyes were big with shock, and she dropped her bags to hug me.

I let it all go. Being in JunJun's arms made me feel much better. I'm glad she's here with me, or else I would be glum for the umpteenth time in the past five months. I kept sobbing for...I don't know how long, but my head hurts a little from the sobbing. JunJun stood up, her fingers intertwining with mine. I could feel my heart skip a beat. "Come Ai-chan, let's go to your house." I quickly grabbed my bag, my hand still in hers.

How strange, it was windy outside. It's the summer, normally it's not windy. "TAXI!" JunJun roared, waving her free hand. I held her other hand tightly and smiled a little bit. She's so cute sometimes. The taxi pulled over, and we got inside. "Where to girls?" the taxi driver asked us, a sigh following. I told him my address, and he drove to my house.

During the ride, I put my head on JunJun's shoulder. She wasn't affected by it at all. Actually, she moved down a little bit so I can feel comfortable. We were still holding hands, and my thumb was running over her knuckles. Her cheeks turned red, but I didn't say anything.

"We are at your destination girls." the taxi driver told us, stopping at my house. "Thank you." I muttered in a very low voice. I got out my wallet, but JunJun stopped me and said, "No, let me." She paid the taxi driver, and we got out of the taxi, heading to my house.

I got out the key, JunJun following slowly behind me. I unlocked the door, and I smiled. It felt good to be home once again. Especially when JunJun is with me. I saw JunJun's reaction and I started laughing. "I'm glad you're here JunJun." I finally confessed, my cheeks growing hotter and hotter. I can't believe this, I'm starting to fall in love with her already. "No problem Ai-chan, I...um.." Her face was getting hotter and hotter also. I couldn't help but stare into her eyes, this time with love, lust, and passion all mixed together.

"....I want to be here for you," JunJun continued, her expression was serious. "I can't have you being all depressed forever. It's been five months since Gaki-san and Eri-chan got together, and you need to move on or else-"

"I already did." I whispered, walking closer to her. I don't know what came over me, but I kissed her. Her lips were so soft and plush that I had a warm feeling inside me. JunJun stiffened a little at first, but then her arms wrapped around my waist, and I was happy.

Unfortunately, we broke away due to the panting and sweating. I blushed in embarassment. "Um..sorry about that." I smiled. "It's okay, I kind of...um...liked it." JunJun blushed too. That silly grin she gave me was so cute. She's so caring, nice, and she was brave enough to ask me questions about dance rehearsal.

She was much better than Risa.

"I love you JunJun." I whispered quickly. On the outside, I hoped that she wouldn't hear what I whispered, but on the inside, I hoped that she would understand.

"I love you too Ai-chan." JunJun replied, leaning in to kiss me again. "Wait." I almost stammered, moving back. She nearly fell. That was a nice move Ai, very nice move. "We need to take this somewhere else." I took her hand, taking her to the bedroom.

It was a very passionate night for the both of us. I was enjoying every minute of it.

I'm happy that JunJun came into my life and made me feel better, I really needed it.

Rondo (Chapter Eight: Danger)

2009-06-21T23:19:00.003-05:00

DANG IT!

Eri and Sayu found out about me being a vampire. Crap. Just crap. What the heck were they doing spying on me anyway? I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack right now. All of this running is tiring me, but I must get away from Eri and Sayu as soon as possible.

I bumped into a girl with long, black hair that was pulled up in a ponytail. I scratched the back of my head and I blushed in embarassment. "I'm sorry, I shold have watched where I was going." the girl apologized. Hmm, she looks familar. She does hang out with Sayu a lot. "Aren't you Sayu's mentee, Kusumi Koharu?" I asked without thinking. Koharu nodded. "Erm, well it's nice to meet you!" I waved goodbye, and I turned a corner.

Reina and Risa came out from whatever hiding place they were in. "I can't believe Eri and Sayu know about us." Risa muttered under her breath. I shook my head. Why did all of this have to happen so suddenly?

"I'm not surprised." Reina quickly replied. Risa and I stared at her, our eyes growing big. This girl must be crazy or something. "What do you mean?" Risa managed to ask. "I'm sure Eri won't tell anyone, but that Sayu girl on the other hand, she probably won't tell anyone either." "I doubt it." I muttered. "Well, they're getting themselves in a dangerous situation here." Risa added. That was true. Plus, their blood smelled even richer than my first target.

"I need to stay away from them." I said, looking down. "What?" Risa asked with an odd tone in her voice. "Well, from the expression in Eri's face, it looks like she wants to know even more about Ai-chan." Reina explained. Gosh, it's like she can read minds and expressions. Eri did look kind of scary, while Sayu was erm...puffing her cheeks.

"That's why I need to hide from them." I explained, my eyes still glued to the sidewalk. "I don't think that's going to happen." Reina shook her head in disagreement. "You need to think about it for a while." Risa's arm was around my shoulders, and I could feel heat rising in my cheeks. "You know I'm going to protect you."

"Aw, that's so sweet!" Reina poked her head in between us. "AH!" I yelled, nearly falling down. "What are your parents going to say Ai-chan?" A look of worry was painted on Risa's face. "They still think I'm with Eri." I replied, waving my hand. "Oh, thank goodness." Risa breathed in and out. "Someone was about to have a Reaction Queen moment." Reina rolled her eyes and giggled. I did also, and then we burst out laughing.

"HEY! THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" Risa pointed at us. Now she's having a Reaction Queen moment. Reina and I smirked at each other and whispered, "3...2...1!" We gathered up all our energy and ran as fast as we could to my house with a Reaction Queen screaming and running behind us.
***********************************************************************************
They are so going to get it. I don't know what I'm going to do, but they are so going to get it. We get to Ai-chan's house, and Reina went to climb in the window. I follow her, but before I climbed in, I looked at Ai-chan, who was panting and trying to catch her breath. "Are you going to be okay?" I asked, my voice had a very cautious tone. Coughing, Ai-chan looked up at me and replied, "I'm going to be alright, I'm sure I can go in the front door." "Okay." I warned, climbing inside and closing the window behind me.

"At least Ai-chan got Miki'd." Reina teased, a grin forming on her face. "She didn't really get Miki'd." I replied, getting techinical. Reina was about to open her mouth, but then we heard some yelling. It sounded like Ai-chan was arguing with her parents.

"In the closet, now!" Reina grabbed my wrist and we ended up in Ai-chan's closet once again. I put my ear to the wall to listen to what's going on.

Well, the arguing ended up happening downstairs instead of upstairs. It was a long time when we heard the door open. "Okay, it's safe." I opened the closet door and went to go sit next to Ai-chan on the bed. "So, what happened?" Reina and I asked at the same time. I pulled her closer to me.

"After a lot of lying, I finally convinced them that I stayed over at Eri's house early this morning." Ai-chan explained. Reina and I just looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders. "That was a lot of yelling though." Reina muttered. I agreed, all heck broke loose downstairs.

At least she's okay, I just hope no one else interferes today.
***********************************************************************************
"Are you serious?" Sayu asked me when I told her that I wanted to know more about Ai-chan. "We shouldn't just bug Ai-chan." She was right, but Ai-chan's my best friend, and she's never told me that she's a vampire. She needs to tell me everything about this "vampire" thing.

"I'm late!" Sayu shouted as she put her hands on top of her head. "What are you late for?" Normally, Sayu's not late for anything since she's always with me. "I have to meet Koharu soon." "Koharu?" Now I was curious about this Koharu girl. Is she dating Sayu or something? "She's my mentee." Sayu replied in a shy voice. "Ooh, sounds like you like her." I said in a teasing voice. "Very funny Eri." Sayu playfully hit me on the arm. "Okay, then I guess you should go." I waved goodbye to Sayumi, and I continued walking.

What else am I going to do today? I sighed, my eyes darting up to the light blue sky. Without Sayu, I have no one else to talk to. I really want to know about Ai-chan, but Sayu was right, I can't interfere. I just hope that she's alright.

"Eri-chan?"

"EH?!" I shout seconds later. I turn around and notice a short Chinese girl behind me. Oh, I know who she is. "LinLin, hi." I smiled in relief, and waved sheepishly. This girl scared me so badly. "I noticed that you were all by yourself," LinLin giggled a little bit. She's always happy. "Where's Sayu?" My body flinched when she said Sayu's name. I don't know why though.

"She's with Koharu." I replied. "Oh, Kusumi-san." LinLin was in a thinking pose at the moment. I felt like sitting somewhere, I'm so tired of standing here. We sat down at a bench. I need to tell someone about this, and I'm sure that LinLin would understand, since she knows Ai-chan.

"Um, L-LinLin?" I asked nervously, my throat a little scratchy. "Yes?" LinLin sounded fine, it was perky and happy as usual.

"I need to tell you something."
*******************************************************************************************
"Koharu! I'm sorry I'm late!" I shouted when I was inside the room. Koharu jumped up and hugged me tightly. My cheeks were turning pink at her touch. Then again, I've been feeling like this ever since last week. "It's okay," her face was close to mine, a smile forming on her lips. "You're always late." I started blushing even harder.

"How's everything?" I asked as Koharu went to go sit down in her seat and patted the chair next to her. I obeyed and sat down. "Everything's good, but school is very boring." Koharu replied, rolling her eyes and playing with a strand of her long, black hair. Her plush lips formed into a pout, and her eyes were cast downwards.

I want to kiss them.....

OH MY GOD! SAYU WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!? YOU'RE HER MENTOR! ACT LIKE ONE DANG IT! My cheeks were crimson now. I could just feel it. Why does Koharu have to look so cute?!?

"Eh? Sayu, are you okay?" Koharu's eyes aimed towards me. "Erm...everything's fine." I lied, my face getting hotter and hotter by the second, my legs feeling like Jell-o. "Doesn't look like it," The tone in her voice sounded like she was worried. "You can tell me." No. I can't tell her about Ai-chan. I can tell her about the feelings I have for her, that is if I have the guts to say so.

"I like you Koharu." I blurted, covering my mouth with my hand. Me and my big mouth. "I like you too Sayu." Koharu walked over and she kissed me on the lips. I kissed her back, but Koharu broke the kiss. "Is there still something wrong Sayu?" I nodded. "It's about Ai-chan..." "She's your friend right? I bumped into her on the street." Koharu rubbed the back of her head, another smile forming on her lips.

"She's a vampire." I mumbled quickly. Knowing Koharu, I think she would get the message. She didn't move, her eyes growing big slowly. Her eyes slowly met mine. I was supposed to feel scared, but I could just melt.

The door opened with a loud boom. "Michishige, Kusumi, time for you to go." The lady pointed to her watch. "Yes, thank you." We said at the same time.

Koharu's fingers were tangled in mine as we exited the building. Before we parted ways, Koharu whispered, "I won't tell anyone." "Please don't." I whined, waving to her as I headed to my house.
***************************************************************************************************************************
I'm. So. Tired. If I stay out in the sun even longer, I will become drowsier than ever. Being the messenger, I have to stay up, or else I will have a whole lot of yelling from Yossie and a lot of groping from Miki.

And trust me, no one wants to be Miki'd. That was a nice save from Risa though, Ai-chan definitely doesn't want to experience that moment. Especially since I'm mostly the one that's been Miki'd.

Risa held Ai-chan's hand, and they were lying on the bed together. I feel like teasing them at this point, but that's just my personality and how I feel at the moment.

I giggled, then I smirked. I rubbed my hands together, and teased, "Ai-chan and Risa: The Lovebirds~" They flinched, and they sat up and looked at me. An innocent smile formed on my lips.

"What the heck Reina?!?" Risa and Ai-chan said at the same time. "Nothing~" I kept teasing. They rolled their eyes and they laid back down.

I love teasing them, but Eri and Sayu are on my mind at the moment. They better not have told anyone.
****************************************************************************************************************************Sayu likes me. I'm very happy about that, but at the same time, I'm so shocked about her friend, Ai-chan. She's the girl I ran into while we ran into each other. She smiled, and I noticed fangs. Why do I feel so stupid. Then again, I know I have to meet someone after the mentor/mentee meeting Sayu and I had. Where is she?

I finally saw LinLin running across the street. There were no cars. Thank goodness, because I was ready to shout at any minute.

"Sorry about that Koharu," LinLin was hypervenilating a little bit, but she was alright after a few seconds. "I had to take a walk, and Eri-chan told me about Ai-chan." I froze at her name. My eyes grew big again, and I still didn't move while LinLin was poking me. "So, I guess Sayu told you too?" LinLin asked, still poking me. I moved out of my spacey zone and replied, "Yes. She did."

"Hey, you want to come over to my house?" LinLin changed the subject. "Sure!" My energy was back, and I nodded very fast. "Okay, then let's go this way!" LinLin pointed to the left, and we went to that direction.

I hope Sayu doesn't mind about me going over to LinLin's house for the afternoon.
****************************************************************************************************************************
"Okay Aika, you jump off of the wall like this..." JunJun demonsrated, her feet shooting from the wall to the cold, hard pavement. I watched, my eyes were focused on JunJun's every move. When she landed, she looked up at me, her smile was very bright. I smiled back. "Now, you try." I gulped, feeling nervous.

I jumped off of the wall and I landed perfectly on the ground. I slowly opened my eyes and saw JunJun standing right beside me. I was shocked. "I did it!" I beamed, my smile was glowing. "That's very nice for a first try, I've never had such a fast learner." JunJun messed with her hair a little bit.

"Well, that's how I am." I smirked, poking JunJun in the cheek. "Hey!" JunJun touched her cheek on the spot where I poked her. I laughed, covering my mouth with my hand. JunJun started laughing too. "Nobody pokes the trainer in the cheek!" "Nobody except me!" I stuck out my tongue. "Okay, now our second training destination is going to be in the busier part of the city." JunJun pointed out.

I was really excited for this. I'm happy that JunJun's my trainer.
****************************************************************************************************************************
"Bananas~" I sighed, my eyes fixated on the object. It was plush, but I didn't care. I wanted to get it, but people would think I'm crazy if I went to the store and bought it. "You're supposed to train me JunJun~" Aika whined, pulling my arm. Oh crap, I got distracted again, me and bananas.

"Oh, I'm sorry Aika, let's go in this building." It was abandoned, and all the lights were on. Aika was holding on to me.

"JunJun I'm scared."

"It's okay Aika, we're going to be alright." I comforted her. We got to the stairs, and Aika's eyes met mine.

"So, are you ready to begin the second part of your training?" I asked. Aika slowly shook her head, and let go of me. "Okay, let's begin."
****************************************************************************************************************************
Everything was decorated with Chinese stuff as Koharu and I entered our large house. My parents finally decided to live in Japan after a year I came as an exchange student. They had to deal with business stuff first before moving. It was always like this whenever I came here though. However, the expression on Koharu's face was shocking. "This place is amazing!" Koharu squealed, jumping up and down.

"LinLin, who is that you brought over?" My father asked in Japanese, walking into the main hall, which is where Koharu and I were at the moment. "Father, this is Koharu, my friend." I introduced. "Hello." Koharu bowed, my father bowing also. "It is very nice to meet you Koharu, please enjoy your stay." "Thank you, I will." Koharu replied.

"Let's head up to my room." I said, and we went up to my room. We opened the door and entered my room. Koharu sat in my chair, and I sat on my bed. "There's something still on my mind." we said at the same time. "You go first." she demanded.

"Eri.."

"Sayu.." We both looked up, and we knew what the both of us were going to say next.

"Ai-chan."

Rondo (Chapter Seven: Secrets)

2009-06-16T21:30:00.006-05:00

I'm so tired. I'm kind of lost. I need to know where I am before I go any further.

"Reina..." a creepy voice whispered from behind me. Oh, I think I know who she is, her voice sounds familiar. "Just come out Aika." I sighed, crossing my arms. "Aw, how did you know it was me?" "Your voice sounds familiar." I replied. "What are you even doing out here anyway?" "I have a new trainer." Aika's face turned red. "Eh? Who?" I wanted to know. "JunJun."

WHAT?!?

"Yeah, that's me." JunJun came out of nowhere. She blushed, trying not to make eye contact with me. Seriously, why does she always pop up in my life? "I know it's you, silly." I tease. Aika giggled, and JunJun looked kind of irritated. "When did you guys start training?" I was sick of asking questions, but dang it, I'm very curious!

"Today," JunJun was obviously confused. "Um..we have to go." "Nice seeing you again Reina!" Aika shouted as JunJun pulled her away from me. I just waved goodbye and decided to move on.

"Oh look, it's Reina." Do I need more visitors? I'm tired already. But this time the voice sounded like Risa. "Reina! Come on, we're all going to the hideout." I turned around and noticed that Ai-chan was with her. "We're taking Ai-chan with us?" I raised my eyebrow. I really didn't know about this. "I know the way, and yes, we're taking her with us."

"Okay, but on the way, don't act like lovebirds." I joked, laughing. "Shut up Reina." the lovebirds said at the same time in a monotone. I started following them to the hideout.
*************************************************************************************
"Yossie and Miki please?" I requested once we got to the front desk. "They're in the office." the young girl replied, sounding a little dry. I didn't pay much attention since Ai-chan was whispering something in my ear.

"Ah, Takahashi, very nice to meet you." Yossie was the first to greet us. "She's very pretty." Miki put her arm around Ai-chan's lower back. It wasn't until she slid her hand down further that I knew what she was doing. My eyes grew big, and I nearly freaked out.

"Don't grope her Miki." I warned. Miki stopped, her glare made me scared at first, but her expression turned from a glare to a smirk. "Always ruining the fun." she muttered under her breath.

"Are you alright?" I whispered in Ai-chan's ear. I could feel her body shiver. She nodded wordlessly. She was probably scarred for life. Well, not for life.

I gave Miki a glare, and turned my attention back to Ai-chan.
*************************************************************************************
Thank goodness Risa saved me. I was about to panic for a moment. Who are these two vampires? "We are Niigaki and Tanaka's bosses," Yossie continued. "It is very nice to meet you." "It is very nice to meet you too." I bowed quickly.

"Anyway, we heard about the first target," Miki stated blantantly. "You did a good job Takahashi." "Um..thank you?" I blurted, my face turning red. "No problem." Yossie smiled. "Now you three leave." Miki pushed us out of the room. I let out my manly scream and held on to Risa for support. Since when was I the clumsy one?

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" I asked, covering my mouth. I didn't want to ask that question. Risa and Reina shrugged their shoulders, and we headed home.

Until we ran into Eri and Sayu.
*************************************************************************************
"Eri, let's go that way!" Sayu tugged on my sleeve, putting her head on my shoulder. It's really embarrassing seeing her like this sometimes. We were eating out at a diner, and we noticed Ai-chan running after some guy who was screaming like a girl.

"Eh? Is that Ai-chan?" Sayu asked, paying attention to the scene. Two girls ran after her. One in some hooded robe thingy, and another in a black dress. Who are they, and what are they doing with Ai-chan?

"Yeah, that is her." I replied, paying for the food, and we left the diner as we saw Ai-chan turn a corner, the two girls following close behind. I started running as fast as I could, but the slow bunny behind me was so slow that I grabbed her hand, and took her with me.

"Where did they go?" I asked, out of breath. "She's gone, let's just go back and eat." Sayu was about to go in the opposite direction until we heard a scream. It came from the man, and it sound like it came from the alley.

Right when we saw Ai-chan suck his blood, Sayu was about to scream, but I covered her mouth with my hand. We hid behind a building and we witnessed that scene. Right when Ai-chan left with the two girls, we went to go check on the man.

"He's unconscious." Sayu didn't touch him. I didn't say anything, I was too shocked. "She's a vampire." I shook my head. I can't believe this, it's all a dream. Maybe if I just go to a corner and close my eyes and open them, I would be in my bed.

But it's not a dream, it's reality. "Let's go Eri," Sayu took my hand. "I know what can take you off of your mind." I doubted it, but we went to a clothing store, and I noticed a T-shirt that had a turtle on it. I decided to buy it, and we walked down the sidewalk.

"Hey look, it's Ai-chan." Sayu whispered, her voice full of warning. I didn't want to say anything to her. She's ticking me off.

"Ai-chan." I greeted loudly. "How are you?" Her face was crimson. "Fine, how about you?" "Liar!" Sayu blurted. I hit her playfully on the arm. "I know you're a vampire Ai-chan."

"WHAT?" Ai-chan fake laughed. I could tell it was obvious. "Don't lie to us, we saw you." Sayu crossed her arms. "We're not going to tell anyone Ai-chan." I promised.

Ai-chan was speechless, and she ran away. "Oh crap, she left." Sayu pouted.

She's a mysterious girl, and I want to know more about her, especially the vampire part.

Bunny Princess (Chapter Two: Lunch Break)

2009-06-14T17:44:00.002-05:00

Lunchtime. The time to eat my bento on the roof of the school, where I can look up at the sky and think about the morning. I smiled, getting my bento and heading to the stairs. Today's going to be different though. I get to think about-

"Sayu!" Eri waved to me, heading in my direction. I started running up the stairs, and it was a stupid decision. In five seconds, Eri grabbed my hand and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. "What was that about? I don't want my princess to run away from me."

I froze. I didn't know what to say. A princess? Me? She's...so.....

"I got nervous," I replied, looking down at our hands. "My prince." I looked up at her, giving her a smile.

We finally got to the roof, and I closed the door behind me. Eri's eyes were big as we went to sit at a bench. Wow, she was really scared.

"We're on the roof of the school." she whispered, looking at me. "Yeah, I come here." I replied. Eri's eyes were sparkling once again.

"Hey, it's going to be alright." I opened my bento that was filled with sushi rolls. 'Okay Usa-chan, time for you to eat.' I thought, happily taking out my chopsticks and eating the sushi. Eri opened her bento slowly, and she chewed her food slowly, not saying anything. No wonder Koharu calls her turtle!

"Sayu?" she asked me, giving me a concerned look. "Huh?" I replied. That was the stupidest thing you can ever say Sayu. "Um, can I have one?" "Oh, sure." I let her take one. She blushed and smiled. "Thank you." "You're welcome!" I beamed, my smile getting bigger.

"So, who's that girl that was shouting your name earlier?" I froze. "Her name is Kusumi Koharu, she's my kouhai," I explained. "We talk about what's going on with each other, it's kind of like how you talk to a friend I guess." Eri nodded, swallowing the sushi roll.

"I see, I was getting jealous for a moment." Wait...what did she say?

OH MY GOD, SHE LIKES ME?!?

"Er.." I was about to say something until the school bell rang. It's a very loud bell. I closed my bunny lunchbox, and I walked down the stairs with Eri following close behind.

Unfortunately, we didn't have all the same classes. I had to take art, while she had to take cooking. I wished her good luck, and went to my class.

Rondo (Chapter Six: Alone)

2009-06-14T16:45:00.004-05:00

My legs felt like collapsing. I really didn't expect for Ai-chan and Reina to run so fast. I tripped on my boot and fell on the grass. I let out a scream, but it was muffled. Someone grabbed my hand, and I looked up and noticed that it was Ai-chan. Reina just looked at me, giving me a signal that she's going to tell the bosses, as usual. It's her job to be the messenger, thank goodness I don't have that job.

So now I have Ai-chan all to myself.

"Don't scare me like that again!" I yelled, still in my Reaction Queen mode. "Oh my god, you nearly killed me right-" Her finger was right on top of my lips. "Shh!" she warned, her eyes sparkled. "People are still asleep." "Even when it's almost 9:30?" I joked. Ai-chan giggled in response. "Silly Risa, you are so cute, you know that?"

OH MY GOD SHE SAID I'M CUTE!!!!!!!!!! Yay, yay, yay! I'm so happy. I guess this is my chance to tell her I like her. My cheeks started heating up from the thought.

"Are you okay Risa?" Ai-chan was still smiling, her fangs showing. I think I'm going to die now. I nodded, "Yes, I'm fine. Um...Ai-chan, can I tell you something?" That was terrible. My heart started thumping. "Sure, go ahead." Now my heart was beating faster than ever.

"IloveyouAichanveryverymuchIhopeyoufeelthesameway." I confessed in one breath. Ai-chan didn't respond, her expression was very shocking though. She was calm, giving me a smirk. She nodded, "I know." She does? She does? Oh. Crap.

"What do you mean?" I blurted, covering my hand over my mouth. "Hmm...let's see," Ai-chan calculated. "Number One, you stare at me." she pointed out. I put my head down in defeat. I should have known that it was obvious. "What's the next one?"

"Number Two, you wrapped your arms around my waist while were sleeping." Ai-chan blushed, looking down. "So you were awake!" "At first." Ai-chan corrected me, trying to put on a serious face. "Did you like it?" I asked curiously, licking my fangs. ".......No." Ai-chan replied. She's such a bad liar.

"You're terrible." I laughed. "Seriously, I didn't like it." Her face was crimson. "Admit it." I demanded.

"IloveyoutooRisaespeciallywhenwewereinthebedtogether." Ai-chan admitted, her face not as crimson anymore. Yes, I got her! We are together now!

"How did you become a vampire Risa?" Ai-chan asked me, her eyes full of curiousity. I gulped before I replied, "I was born a vampire, I trained at the age of 8, and I became a trainer at the age of 17." Ai-chan just gave me a look, no emotion. It was unreadable.

Her lips touched mine, and it was AWESOME! We pulled away, and there was a silence.
***********************************************************************************
I can't believe I did that. Even though we are together now, I still can't believe I did that. I finally kissed her, and I feel so much better.

"I knew it." Risa pointed at me. "What?" I replied with another smirk. "You kissed me!" Risa had another Reaction Queen moment. "USO!" she added. She was definitely having a Reaction Queen moment.

"Where's Reina?" I asked, perusing the street. I haven't seen her ever since I talked to Risa. "She's at the hideout." Risa replied, squeezing my hand tightly. Eh?

"Hideout?" I asked, wanting to know about the place. "It's our training place." Risa told me. "We can go there now if you want to." "Yes, let's go."

I'm really curious about this place. I know it's going to be full of vampires, but I still want to know about this hideout.

Oyasumi #16

2009-06-14T13:29:00.003-05:00

I've been having these feelings for her the entire time I was in Morning Musume. She's the person I look up to, my senpai, my leader. But lately she has been out of it ever since Gaki-san started dating Eri. I feel so bad for her, she keeps working harder and harder, and I really want to say something and let her know that I'm always going to be there for her no matter what.

Currently, we are in rehearsals. We have five more minutes, and we are leaving to go home. My mind was filled with Ai-chan and who I was going home with tonight. Maybe Aika and LinLin? I always seem to have fun with my fellow generation. Or maybe Kamei-san and Gaki-san? No JunJun you idiot, Ai-chan's already hurt by them. That's it! I should go home with her for the night!

But we live so far away from each other, I don't know if that's a right option. I still concentrated on my dance moves, but I kept getting them wrong due to my thoughts. Ai-chan gave me a concerned look and giggled. She doesn't do that, something must be wrong. My cheeks flushed red, and I finally got them right.

"Okay everyone, you are free to go," the dance instructor told us. I grabbed my bag as everyone was leaving the dance studio. Aika ran up to me and lightly tapped my shoulder. I turned around, and she grinned. "What?" I asked, knowing that something was up. "Do you want to ride home with me, LinLin, and Koharu?" she offered, smiling even more. I looked over at Ai-chan, who was still dancing. "No, I'm going to stay with Ai-chan for the night." I replied. Aika gave me a concerned look and nodded. "I understand, she needs somebody to talk to. I'll see you later." She sounded a little disappointed, but she skipped out of the studio and waved goodbye.

Ai-chan was stretching now, her face was expressionless, but she looked like she could burst any minute. I guess she's still not over Gaki-san, I'll probably never have my chance with her. I decided to exit the studio and go to my own apartment, but then I heard her say my name in a wobbly voice.

"Yes?" I asked, stopping in my tracks. "Please, don't go, don't leave me here." her voice cracked. I want to run and give her a big hug. I turned around, and her face was tear-streaked. I dropped my bag and ran over to her, putting my arm around her shoulders and holding her. "It's okay." I whispered, trying not to panick.

Ai-chan kept sobbing for about twenty minutes. The dance studio was about to close, and I decided to take her home. "Come Ai-chan, let's go to your house." She already stopped crying, but she was still holding my hand, her bag in the other.

It was very windy outside, which is strange because it's summer. Ai-chan squeezed my hand tightly as I called for a taxi, which didn't take long. We went inside, and Ai-chan's head was on my shoulder. She's really upset, but for some strange reason, I'm glad she's depressed. I can make her feel better.

Wait, what is she doing? Her thumb is running over my knuckles. Wait, does she like me? Why am I not saying anything? "We are at your destination girls." the cab driver told us. "Thank you." Ai-chan whispered in a low voice, getting her wallet. "No, let me." I paid the cab driver, and we went to Ai-chan's house.

"Holy...crap." My eyes started growing as I slowly followed Ai-chan inside the house. She giggled and spoke, "I'm glad you're here JunJun." "No problem Ai-chan, I....um..." I didn't speak, I didn't know what to say. She was staring into my eyes, wanting something. ".....I want to be here for you," I continued. "I can't have you being all depressed forever. It's been five months since Gaki-san and Eri-chan got together, and you need to move on or else-"

"I already did." Ai-chan walked closer to me until I was against the wall. I gulped, having no idea what was about to happen. She stood on her tiptoes, and the next thing I knew her lips collided softly with mine. Of course, I was shocked at first, but then I was relaxed. I like her, and she liked me back.

My arms wrapped around her waist, feeling comfortable. We broke away, panting and sweating due to our excitement. It felt so good, but I have to head home soon.

"Um...er...sorry about that." Ai-chan blushed, scratching the back of her head. "It's okay, I kind of um....liked it." I blushed too, giving her a silly grin.

"I love you JunJun." she whispered quickly.

"I love you too Ai-chan." I replied, leaning in to kiss her again. "Wait," she said, backing away, which nearly made me fall. "We need to take this somewhere else."

She took my hand and we went to the bedroom. All I can say is that we had a very passionate night.

I'm glad I made her move on.

Bunny Princess (Chapter One: Crush)

2009-06-12T12:25:00.002-05:00

Who gives a crap about school? Why do we go here anyway? All we do is write, write, write and study, study, study. Ugh, I just wish we never went to this stupid place! It's homeroom time right now, and announcements are on. I decided to draw a bunny and a rainbow.

Once the announcements (finally) were over, the teacher went up to the chalkboard to tell us what to write for homework. I just really want this day to be over right now. A girl with long, reddish-brownish hair raised her hand, and the teacher called her to the front. I've never seen this girl before, she must be new.

"Everybody, this is the new girl. Why don't you say your name?" the teacher introduced her. "Hi everyone, my name is Kamei Eri, and I am glad to be here." Eri spoke quietly. She's so cute even when she's shy. My cheeks reddened at the thought.

"Michishige!" I cringed at the teacher shouting my name. What does she want from me? "Pay attention!" Looks like class has just started because I noticed that Eri was sitting right next to me. What should I do? I leaned over to her and whispered, "M-My name is M-Michishige Sayumi, but just call me Sayu." Very smart move there Sayu. Now Eri won't ever listen to me. She let out a giggle and smiled at me and replied, "Nice to meet you Sayu, you look pretty today."

Okay, what do I do now? "Erm...thank you." My voice squeaked a little bit. I tried to pay attention to what the teacher was saying, but my attention was elsewhere. I continued drawing my bunny until the bell rang. Wow, that was one short class.

"MICHISHIGE-SAN!" I heard somebody shout my name. Oh crap, it's my kouhai, Kusumi Koharu. I help her with anything that's going on in her life, but now is not a good time. Eri waved at me, and my heart started thumping. "MICHISHIGE-SAN!" Koharu shouted once again, even though I was right next to her. I have no idea why I'm her senpai, but oh well I have to deal with it.

"Call me Sayumi, Sayu, Sayumin, anything other than Michishige-san." My voice sounded like I was begging and pleading, and I was making a cute pout. She has to buy this look. Koharu just looked down at me and nodded, "Okay Sayu." YES! Finally!

Since I have time to talk to Koharu, I found a room, and we went to go sit in a chair. "So, what's been going on with you Koharu?" Whatever you do Sayu, DON'T FALL ASLEEP. "I really like this girl..." Oh, well this is interesting. A smile appeared on my face. "Continue." I demanded, wanting to know all this information. "She's very pretty," Koharu described. "She has short brown hair, a beautiful smile, and she's a very nice girl." I nodded and asked, "What's her name?" "Mitsui Aika." Koharu replied, looking down. "Do you like anybody Sayu?" she asked. "The new girl in my class," I replied. "Her name is Kamei Eri."

Koharu giggled. Why did I tell her anyway? "Her last name is Kamei? That means turtle!" I started laughing. Hey, the miracle was right, and she was acting a little slow today. "I only told her my name." Koharu's eyes were sparkling right now. Now I feel like the kouhai. "What did she say?" Koharu was hyper now, but I'm not surprised. "She said that I look pretty today." I replied quickly.

"So, let me guess," She made a calculation in her mind. "Turtle said that you look pretty, you blushed and stammered saying 'thank you.' Am I right?" Wow, she knows me very well. "It's Eri, Koharu." I corrected, rolling my eyes. Gosh, Koharu, you can be so annoying. "Oh right. Wow I can't believe you like Turtle-" "Eri." I corrected her once again. This argument lasted for five minutes until the bell rang again.

"It was nice talking to you again Sayu." Koharu waved and headed to her next class. Unfortunately, I have math. Great, more equations. Yay. But it's okay, at least I have Eri to think about.
****************************************************************************************************************************
Can this day get any more confusing? I have been walking in and out of these hallways for about 15 minutes, and I still can't find room 167. This has got to be the worst day of my life. I decided to walk down the first hallway once again to find my classroom.

I noticed Sayu walking out of a room with another girl. My cheeks were crimson now, she's a very pretty bunny. "Sayu!" I shouted, running up to her. Sayu looked like a deer caught in headlights. I tried to contain my laughter. "Can you take me to this room?" I showed her my schedule. She examined it for a moment, and gave it back to me.

"Sure, I'm going there anyway." she replied. We walked beside each other, not saying anything at first. "So, where are you from Eri?" Sayu finally asked, looking down at the floor. "I was born here, in Tokyo." I tried my hardest not to grab her hand. "Did you transfer?" Sayu and I went to one of the halls I've never been to. I thought for a moment. "I guess so." I managed to reply.

We finally got to our room, and I realized that it was a math class. Of course, I didn't really look at my schedule.

Sayu and I groaned as we entered the room. "Michishige and Kamei, take a seat." the math teacher told us. We sat next to each other and we giggled.

I like Sayu, I hope she likes me too.

Rondo (Chapter Five: Focus)

2009-06-07T18:30:00.003-05:00

I have no idea what I'm going to do. All I know is that I have to suck his blood, but how?

I hid behind a tree and noticed that he was talking on the phone. At this time of day?! It's almost...8 something. This is not going to be easy. However, I couldn't help but overhear his conversation.

"No Goro, she's not coming with me." She? Who is this person? I could hear a little bit of mumbling on the other line, but I couldn't translate what he was saying.

"What do you mean?" Wow, he was upset. He yelled into the phone and he threw it on the ground. This was my chance, but I really had no clue what I was doing.

I walked over to the mess, and the man was quickly picking up the pieces. He looked at me and jumped. Why was he scared again? Oh, yeah.

His expression turned from panick to calm. What the heck? "Oh thank goodness." he chuckled, standing up and holding the remains of his cellphone. He thinks I'm good?!? "I thought you were someone else for a moment." Yes, I am someone else...wait..what? "I'm alright right no, so why don't you go ahead and play with your friends?"

If this were an anime, there would be a sound of a record stopping in the background. I could tell that he was panicking. "Um..er..HELP, HELP!" He dropped the phone remains and started running. I chased him.

I don't know what came over me, but I didn't want him to run away screaming like a little girl, which was pretty funny by the way. I chuckled for a little bit.

Risa and Reina were on my tail the entire time. Well, of course, they are my trainers after all. The man ran to an alley and soon we came to a dead end. Finally because my knees nearly buckled for a minute.

I cracked my knuckles and grinned at him. It wasn't a nice grin or anything sappy like that, it was devilish. "Where are you going?" I asked him, my voice sounding different. He didn't respond, just gulped. His mind was racking up ne ideas to escape.

I pushed him against the wall and bared my fangs. His eyes grew very big and wide with fear. "You can't be..." I turned his head to the side, and I could smell his blood. I started sucking his blood until I could feel his body weakening. His limp body fell and he as uncoscious. I just looked at him and turned around.

"Okay you two, you can come out now."
************************************************************************************
Dang. That girl is good on her first day of traning. I'm pretty shocked at the moment. This girl doesn't really have that much training to do, so she's fine today. I came out from one building of the alley, and Risa jumped from a tree.

"Good job Ai-chan." I applauded. "Yeah, you were great out there." Risa was about to go into Reaction Queen mode anytime now. "Really? Um..er.." Ai-chan blushed and scratched the back of her head. "Duh Ai-chan." I made a funny face and I started giggling. Risa and Ai-chan just looked at me like I was crazy. What?

"Uh..anyway, I don't think you need any training right now." I told her, a little bit unsure. But she was awesome out there, so I have to give her credit.

"Reina?" I turend around and saw JunJun, again. It looked like she was hunting for a target too. But why was she here? "Morning Jun." I greeted, my expression a little confused. "Oh, morning JunJun!" Risa became the Reaction Queen, tugging on JunJun's sleeve.

"Ai-chan, this is JunJun." We all know that Risa. JunJun bowed. "She's a vampire." I finished. Of course she is, it's obvious. What am I saying? "It's very nice to meet you." Ai-chan bowed in reply. "Oh my god, yay!" Risa held Ai-chan's hand, and their faces were crimson. I felt like teasing them at that point. "Well..uh...at least we all met." Risa finished her statement. I nodded in agreement. JunJun scanned the alley and saw her target. "Well it was nice meeting you Ai-chan." She waved at us before running of to her target. We all said "goodbye" and we just looked at each other for a moment.

"So JunJun hunts in the daytime now?" Risa asked, breaking the silence. She was still holding Ai-chan's hand, but their faces weren't as crimson anymore. Crap, I was just about to tease them again. "So, how do you feel?" I questioned Ai-chan, who was looking down at the pavement. "Okay I guess." she replied. So she's doing fine. "Good, now what are we going to do?" I looked around the alley for any sign of escaping. "Well, we can get out of here." Risa suggested. Well duh Risa. But before I could say anything, she jumped over a wall. Ai-chan followed and I was right after them.

I must admit, Risa and I are doing very well on this task so far. I guess it's time to tell Yossie and Miki the news later in the night.
***********************************************************************************
"Okay, what now?" I asked as the three of us were at the park. No response came from the two girls. I turned around, and they had a blank stares. Their faces were expressionless, but for some strange reason, I couldn't stop staring at Ai-chan. But seriously, what was up with these two?

"HELLO?" I shouted, my voice echoing into the noisy park. Still nothing. I walked over to Ai-chan and Reina, and waved my hands in front of their eyes. Still no response! Oh, what to do, what to do?

OH MY GOD, did they die or something? No, they would have passed out by now. I paced around in circles. I was scared now.

Before I went completely ballistic, a giggle escaped from Ai-chan's lips. Then from Reina. I was so confused, I felt like screaming. "GOTCHA!" Reina and Ai-chan shouted at the same time. The two started laughing, but they stopped as they noticed my eyes growing bigger and bigger. They knew I was going to explode in 5...4..3..2..

"USO!!!!!!! GET BACK HERE!!!" They ran off, trying to escape my Reaction Queen moment. I chased them..again. Where are they running off to? I'm tired already.

I just decided to follow them, not knowing what else to do.

Rondo (Chapter Four: Early Morning)

2009-06-03T17:20:00.003-05:00

My dream was interrupted by Reina closing the window. The noisde wasn't too loud, but it did wake me up. I tried to get out of the bed, but then I heard Risa mumbling something as she pulled me closer to her.

"I see that you two are comfy and cozy." Reina teased, walking over to my bed and sitting at the edge. "What time is it?" I asked, opening my eyes slowly. "6 A.M." Reina replied, checking the clock in my room. A little light as peeking through the window. I grabbed Risa's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze before turning on the lights.

"How long were you here?" I flicked the lights on and saw Reina running to the corner. I just shook my head and walked over to her. All of a sudden I stopped, noticing that Reina was shocked.

"A-Ai-chan, your clothes.." Clothes? What is she talking about? "What? It's just a night gown." I was so confused. "USO!" Risa shouted at the top of her lungs. Her eyes are as big as Reina's! What in the world is wrong with my clothes? I decided to look down and...

Oh my god. Just..oh my god. I didn't sleep in this last night! I was wearing a black shirt with a white jacket, black gloves, a black skirt, and black boots. How in the..when in the..these two have a lot of explaining to do.

"Why am I dressed in this?" I was furious now. I'm really starting to hate this vampirte thing. "At least you don't have to wear a robe." Risa muttered, pointing at Reina. Do these two ever listen to me?!? "Shut up Risa." Reina rolled her eyes. "Anyway, since you're a vampire, you're wearing those clothes." Great. That's exactly what I needed.

I could tell that Risa was staring at me again, my face getting hotter. She's always doing this to me. I just sighed and looked at my outfit. Dang.
************************************************************************************
Wow. Ai-chan looks even more stunning than before. She's not even wearing a robe, which is a good thing! I'm sure Reina will have an outfit too/ "Training starts today," Reina looked at the clock. "We're leaving now." I opened the window, and Reina got out first.

"Your turn Ai-chan." I said as Ai-chan turned off the lights. She took my hand, and I helped her out of the window, closing it behind me. Gosh, she's pretty. I blushed at the thought. I followed right after her, and we jumped together.

"Are you guys done having your romantic moment?" Reina teased. I knew that she was trying to have a comeback. I could tell Ai-chan's face was red. Obviously, she was frozen. "Shut up Reina." I muttered, walking to the park. She just laughed and followed us.

"Ignore her." I murmured, trying to comfort Ai-chan." She looked at me, our eyes meeting. I gulped. She has beautiful eyes, and then she smiled. "Thanks Risa." I smiled too, heat rising in my cheeks.

"You two are so cute together!" Reina kept teasing us, a fake smile appearing on her face. Sometimes, I just can't stand her. We finally got to the park and Reina's face was serious. I let go of Ai-chan's hand and stood beside Reina. It is the time to train her.
*************************************************************************************
"Okay, first off, we must find a victim." I perused the park to see any humans entering the park. None yet, that's just great.

A girl with brownish-reddish hair walked to the park with a girl who had dark hair. They look familiar...

"Eri-chan and Sayu." Ai-chan mumbled, crossing her arms. Of course, her friends. I grabbed Risa's wrist as we noticed Eri and Sayu walking over to Ai-chan. We hid behind a tree, and we eavesdropped on the conversation.

"Ai-chan?" Eri asked, confused. Wow, she really is like a turtle. And she's really..cute when she's confused. Oh my god, she's a human! I can't have a crush on her now!

"Oh, hi Eri!" Ai-chan waved. Rich blood, I can smell it also. I can tell that Ai-chan is smelling it too.

"How are you? You've been acting weird lately." Sayu folded her arms, pouting. And she's the bunny obviously. Hmm...

"I've been doing fine." Gosh, this conversation is borning. I noticed Sayumi tugging on Eri's sleeve. This is a sign that she really wants to get something and they have to leave. Well apparently, I was right! I'm smart.

Ai-chan breathed a sigh of relief, but our training isn't over yet. "Ai-chan," Risa warned. "You have to listen to us. We need you to focus." "We know you're confused at the moment, just listen to what we are going to tell you."

Ai-chan nodded, waiting for the news. I turned her around, and pointed to a man across the street. "That's your first victim." I whispered. "GO!" Risa shouted, and Ai-chan disappeared. I want to see how she's going to deal with this man.

Rondo (Chapter Three: Progress)

2009-06-01T08:32:00.003-05:00

Ugh, sorry for not updating as much minna-san! :(
***************************************************************************************
Once the three of us got to Ai-chan's house, I noticed that it was dark. "Were we out a little too late?" I asked, a little confused. "No," Ai-chan replied, scratching the back of her head. "My family goes to sleep early." Reina and I just looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders. She has one weird family. It's only 9 pm.

"I think I can go in the front door," Ai-chan decided, unlocking it. She's still in her vampire form, but if her family is asleep, I guess I shouldn't worry that much, then again, I'm still worried about her. I jumped on a tree branch that was near Ai-chan's bedroom window and opened the window, climbing inside. Reina was following me, closing the window behind her.

Ai-chan opened her bedroom door and closed it, turning the bedroom light on. She looked at us and let out her tiny manly yelp. Reina and I started laughing, while Ai-chan was throwing pillows at us. This made me laugh even harder. "Don't ever do that again!" Ai-chan whispered to us, hitting us with another pillow. "Ow.." I whined, slowly getting up from the huge pile of pillows. "That's what you guys get for scaring me." Ai-chan stuck out her tongue, getting her blue nightgown and going to the bathroom.

I looked over at Reina, who just glared at me with her wonky eyes. "What?" I whispered, moving away from her. She didn't say anything, but she kept moving closer. It was scaring me. What does she want? "What?" I repeated a little louder. I was trying not to make any noise because the house was quiet.

"You like her don't you?" Reina asked me with that trademark smirk. I put my hand over my mouth to keep from yelling. Reina knows me very well. I just simply nodded. Reina shook her head and pointed to me asking, "You do know that we have to train this girl to become a vampire, right?" "Yes." I replied, sighing in defeat. She's always focused on her job. Reina just stared at me until Ai-chan came back inside and climbed in her bed. "Good night." Ai-chan whispered before she was sleeping peacefully.

"I'm going to tell Yossie and Miki how Ai-chan's is doing so far," Reina stood up and opened the window. "Are you coming?" I looked at her, and then I looked at Ai-chan, who was somehow sleeping peacefully. Gosh, she looks gorgeous even when she's sleeping. "I'm going to stay here." I replied, my eyes still on Ai-chan.

"That's fine with me." Reina said before getting out of the window and closing it. I went over to a chair and sat down in it.
*************************************************************************************
The hideout wasn't very far away from Ai-chan's house at all. Actually, it was a few blocks away, which is perfect for walking...I guess. Risa likes Ai-chan. This is the first time I've ever seen her stare at another vampire like that. But we do have a job here, and it could possibly jeopardize her training other vampires.

Several minutes later, I entered the building, and I noticed a tall girl who is a vampire also. Her name is JunJun. "Hi JunJun." I greeted her with a straight face. She didn't say anything back, but she did stare at me for a long period of time. Why is she gazing at me like that? "Hi Reina." She replied. I rolled my eyes and asked, "Where's Yossie and Miki?"

JunJun fiddled with her thumbs, trying to come up with the best answer. "Come on, I don't have all night!" I demanded, my voice echoing in the building. "They're doing something." JunJun mumbled quickly. I don't even want to know.

"Well, can you tell them that Ai-chan has just turned into a vampire?" I asked, hoping that JunJun would reply. She simply nodded, and wrote something down on a piece of paper.

"Aren't you supposed to go out hunting for blood?" I blurted, covering my hand over my mouth. I really need to shut up, but then again, I'm really curious. "Today's my day off from hunting for blood, but Yossie wants me to stay here for...um.." She fiddled with her thumbs. Why is she doing that? "It's okay, I don't want to know." I waved my hand, but she grabbed it. I looked up, and her eyes were growing bigger and bigger. "Sorry again." She muttered, looking down at her shoes. What the heck?

"Do you want to help me around here?" JunJun questioned, looking around the building. I perused the building also, noticing some other vampires. Risa's with Ai-chan, and there's nothing else to do. "Whatever." I replied, helping the taller girl. I just hope Risa doesn't get in trouble.
************************************************************************************
I can't sleep. Not with Risa staring at me like some hungry maniac. It's like she wants to do or say something to me. I closed my eyes, and then I opened them again. Just go to sleep Ai, just go to sleep...

Crap. I opened my eyes for the umpteenth time and whispered, "Risa?" There was no response coming from my trainer. "Risa?" I whispered a little louder, this time she walked over to my bed and climbed in the covers. My face was red like crazy.

"Yes?" she whispered, taking my hand. I don't think I can breathe at the moment. "I can't sleep." I replied, wondering if Reina was in the room yet. "You're funny Ai-chan." she giggled. What? Does that have anything to do with my question? No. But it was kind of funny....

How?" I wondered, heat still rising to my cheeks. "I can't tell you." Risa replied, still holding my hand.

Yep, there's something she wants to tell me, but she doesn't want to say it. It's so obvious Niigaki Risa. You like me.

Somehow, I fell asleep, and I had a good dream too.

Rondo (Chapter Two: Transformation)

2009-05-23T22:52:00.002-05:00

The room was filled with a strange silence, until the birds started chirping. I tried to keep out of the sunlight as much as possible since it was expanding. We have to keep her trapped in here, there's no way she's leaving out of our sight. "EH?!?" she shouted, about to fall off of the bed.
In a second, Risa ran over to the bed and caught Ai-chan, who let out that infamous yelp. I started laughing, but started to move to a corner when even more brightness kept shining through the window.

"Ai-chan?" A woman knocked on the door, her voice a little muffled. My wonky eyes grew even bigger and wider as we heard the creaking of the open door. "Quickly!" I whispered to Risa as I found a closet. I opened the door and closed it quietly, eavesdropping on Ai-chan and her mother's conversation.

"Oh! You're awake!" Takahashi-san's voice was obviously filled with glee. I rolled my eyes, putting my ear to the wall. Risa's back was to the wall. I think she was feeling a little hot, probably due to the humidity of the closet.

"Uh..yeah.." Ai-chan replied, her voice sounding a little shaky. She's still shocked about her becoming a vampire. Risa shook also. I grabbed her arm, whispering, "Are you okay?" "What are we going to do Reina?" Risa finally whispered.

That was a good question, because I have no idea on what we were going to do...Ai-chan can't go out in the day, she's already starting to become a vampire. Hmm.....
"Risa, I have a plan." I whispered, ignoring the conversation between Ai-chan and her mother. "What is it?" Risa asked, curiousity rising in her voice. "Just follow me okay?" I asked Risa with my big wonky eyes. She nodded as we heard the door close.
**************************************************************************************************
This is not going to look good. When Reina has plans, it would turn into a disaster. My heartbeat was going faster and faster. At least my body was cooling down as I came out of the closet. I saw Ai-chan looking at us with a scared look. She needs to stop being afraid.

"Listen you two, I have to go to the picnic with Eri. I can't miss it." Ai-chan went over to her bathroom, getting white towels and a white washcloth. "Set it for the sunset Ai-chan." A wave of coldness was now filling the room. That was your plan Reina?! That was a stupid idea! What if Ai-chan turns into a vampire at that point!?

"I'm not sure about that." Ai-chan replied, getting her soap. I sighed. "Come on, Ai-chan!" I grabbed her by the wrists, looking into her scared eyes. "Please?" Somehow, my whisper sounded like I was begging. I could tell that from behind me Reina rolled those wonky eyes of hers.

Ai-chan thought about it for a few seconds. "Fine." she muttered. I let go of her and she went into the bathroom door, closing it behind her. I was gazing for five minutes until Reina hit my hip. "What was that?" she whispered as she pulled me over to Ai-chan's bed. "Uh...I was trying to act like Rika?" I asked innocently, looking outside. Brightness stopped shining through the window, since it was already the afternoon. Reina was talking, but I wasn't really listening.
I'm still worried about Ai-chan. She has a lot to think about, and I don't blame her. I have an odd feeling that we are going to fail, but at least she fell for my cuteness. "Risa, are you blushing?" Reina asked me, giving me a smirk. "No.." I replied, tugging at the ends of my dress. "Listen up," she whispered. "We're going to let Ai-chan go to that picnic with Eri, but we're going to follow her." I nodded, of course we are going to follow her.

A few minutes later, Ai-chan came out of her bathroom wearing a pink shirt with blue jeans and pink sneakers. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail. I could feel my cheeks heating up. This girl was going to become a vampire?

"So, what do you think?" Ai-chan asked. I thought we were supposed to be training her, but oh my god, she's so cute! "Beautiful." Reina and I said at the same time, giving each other mean looks. Noon was turning into sunset as we got to know Ai-chan. The orange hue was peeking through the window. "I'm going to go," Ai-chan warned before opening the door. "Don't you guys make my room a catastrophe." "Yes Ai-chan." Reina and I again, said at the same time. We smirked, going to the window and opened it, seeing Ai-chan walking in the middle of the street.

"Are you ready?" Reina asked me as we saw her disappearing from our sight. "Yes." I replied, jumping from the window as Reina got out of the window, but she closed it before jumping down.
"Let's go." She said as we kept our eyes focused on Ai-chan the entire time.
**************************************************************************************************
I tried to keep my mind off of the entire vampire thing. Even though those two girls were my trainers, it's...impossible. I noticed Eri sitting in the middle of the park. She was with another girl, Michishige Sayumi. I walked over to the two girls, but I started sniffing like a dog. Why am I doing this? I'm not a dog!

This is a different scent, and I could smell it the more I get closer to the two girls. It was a strong scent. It was making me hungry. "Blood." I whispered as I stopped walking, getting a weird look from Eri and Sayumi.

"Where were you Ai-chan?" Eri asked me with concern. I bit my lip, but I pierced my lips with my own teeth. Am I growing fangs? "My mom wanted me to go shopping Eri-chan, I'm sorry." That was a complete lie, but I can't tell her I'm a vampire, and I'm transforming right now. "I have to get going now though, I just wanted to let you know." I told her. I needed to get away from this place, and fast.

"Okay then Ai-chan, I understand." Eri waved, and I waved back.
I finally sat down at a tree after running far away from the park. I didn't smell any blood, but I still had my fangs. I noticed my trainers smirking at me.

"Now do you believe us?" Reina's question sounded more like a statement. I nodded, looking at the moon and licking my fangs. Risa gave me another gazed look. She sat down next to me, taking my hand in hers. What is she doing? "C-can we go home?" I asked, shaking a little. Risa helped me up and put her arm around my shoulder, calming me down. My face turned redder and redder at her touch. "Sure." Reina replied, shrugging her shoulders.

However, I could still smell blood all around me, but it wasn't as rich as Eri or Sayumi's blood. I kind of wonder why though.

"I know you're still curious about smelling the blood and all, but we will teach you that tomorrow." Reina told me, giving me a smirk as we walked home. Gosh, she smirks a lot.
"To be honest," I spoke shyly. "I'm really starting to like this vampire thing." Reina and Risa both grinned at each other, then they looked at me.

Still, I have a long way to go.

Rondo (Chapter One: Discovery)

2009-05-22T22:55:00.001-05:00

Darkness filled the skies, engulfing brightness that appeared earlier. The day was now turning to night, and the last thing I could do was just stand there sighing and spacing out in the middle of the empty street. I slowly licked my lips as the moon started shining, clouds disappearing.
"Ai-chan?" a voice said my name with concern. I nearly let out my manly scream and turned around to see who this person was. "Y-Yes?" I stuttered, confused. A person in a pure white robe stood in front of me, hair waving in front of her face. Her frown turned into a smirk. "You are the one, Ai-chan." She pointed her finger at me, her smirk turning into a smile. Just what was going on?

"I-I'm the one?" I stammered, my heart throbbing. I was scared now...who is this girl? How does she know my name? The girl let out a laugh and left me standing in the middle of the road. "Wait!" I shouted, but she disappeared. Well that was random.
I looked up at the moon, licking my lips again. It's a very bad habit that I started doing when I was little. I have a lot to think about, that woman is mysterious. I have no idea what I am, but it's probably not good. I started walking, someone stood right in front of me. "Hi Ai-chan!" It was nice hearing my best friend's voice! After all that scariness, I really needed her. "Eri-chan!" I replied, my cheeks turning red. "How long have you been here?" Eri thought for a moment. "Ever since you started walking, and I wanted to scare you." She finally calculated. Poor turtle, you have to love her though.

"So, are you doing anything tomorrow?" Eri asked me, her voice sounding very hyper. I blushed again, should I or not? "I don't think so." I replied, trying not to remember the incident with the woman in the white robe. "Okay good, because I was wondering if you wanted to the watch the clouds and have a picnic tomorrow." Eri really knows me very well, we've been best friends since junior high school. "Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow Eri." I waved goodbye and went to my house.

Emptiness and the cold stares were the only two things I recieved from my parents. "We were worried sick about you Ai-chan!" My father erupted, his eyes filled with rage and fury. "Calm down honey," My mom comforted him, a soft look appeared in her eyes. "Ai..Sweetie..don't ever stay late again, okay?" "Why were you out late anyway?" My father asked me in a calm voice. "Eri and I were planning a picnic tomorrow." I half-lied, hoping they would accept the little lie.
My parents nodded and said I could go to my room. I opened my door and closed it quietly. I got dressed in a red nightgown and got prepared for bed. I need to get my rest so I can go out with Eri on our picnic.
****************************************************************************************************************************
"She's the one." I whispered, my eyes glued to the girl that was about to fall into a deep sleep. She has to be..She is..."Risa?" A voice motioned me to get down from the window. I jumped to where the girl in the white robe was standing. "Yes Reina?" I replied, wondering what was wrong. "We must get back to Yossie and Miki quickly." Reina warned, pulling the robe away from her face. I nodded, knowing that if we were late, Yossie and Miki would remove us from this task.

In no time, the two of us ran as fast as we could to our hideout, which was in a building. I looked around for Yossie and Miki as soon as we got inside. "Do you see them?" I asked Reina, both concern and curiousity filled my voice. "No, not yet." she replied, licking her fangs.

"Ah, Reina and Risa, so is Takahashi Ai the one?" I screamed, turning around. It was Yossie, who was laughing out loud. "I can't believe you fell for that!" Miki exclaimed, laughing even harder. "It's not that funny." Reina said coldly, her eyes filled with coldness. I like it when Reina defends me in front of our bosses. "Anyway, I told her she's the one, just like you said." she explained. "How did she react to that?" Yossie's voice was now serious. "She was confused, then I left it all up to Risa to spy on her." She, Yossie, and Miki gave me demanding looks. "She and her friend Eri are planning a picnic tomorrow, then she went home and went to sleep." I finished.
Yossie and Miki whispered to each other their plans. "It is your job to train her, Tanaka and Niigaki. Do not fail this task." Miki said with a cold tone to her voice. Reina and I nodded and looked at each other.

"Well, do you want to wait until daylight for us to tell Ai-chan what she is?" I asked Reina, not really knowing what to do. Reina's smirk faded into a frown as she stared at me with those cold eyes. She had a blank expression written all over her face, but her eyes say more. "Sure," she replied. "Let's play video games." I shrugged my shoulders as I followed her, playing until daylight arrived.
****************************************************************************************************************************
I woke to the bright sun's rays creeping through my window. I sighed and noticed that I needed to get ready for the picnic with Eri. "I need to get ready!" I reminded myself, my whisper sounding urgent.

But then two girls stood in front of me, licking their fangs and giving me a smirk. One of them looked familiar, the girl was wearing the same pure white robe, but it revealed everything about her. Her eyes nearly scared me as I gulped. I looked at the other girl, who was wearing a black dress with white ruffles at the end. Both girls had long nails and piercing eyes that nearly scared the crap out of me.

"Ai-chan, we are training you." The girl in the white robe said, giving me a wink. Who are these girls? "Who are you?" I asked without thinking, shaking with fear. The girls laughed, making me regret asking that question. "I'm Niigaki Risa, and this is Tanaka Reina." the girl in the black dress introduced themselves.
"We are vampires Ai-chan, just like you."

EH?!?!?!?!

I didn't care about the rain. I knew I was going to be soaked from head to toe anyway, since I didn't bring an umbrella outside with me. I had to walk away, I didn't feel like talking to anybody right now. If only she were here, she always made me feel better.

I still remember her name, it never wandered away from my mind. "Murakami Megumi." The words escaped from my lips, my hair was soaking wet now. I decided to just keep walking until I saw a girl that was just standing at a stop sign. She looked at me with a shocked look on her face, tears almost forming in her eyes. Is it...who I think it is?

"SAKI! What are you doing out here in the rain?" I could smell her perfume, a heavy strawberry scent. She was holding on to me tight. She let go and gave me a wink. It is her...

"MEGUMI! I could ask the same for you!" I walked over to a sushi shop and stood under the army, taking Megumi's hand and making her stand with me. I found a bench, and the two of us sat there. "How have you been doing?" I asked with a concerned tone in my voice.

"I've been doing fine lately," she replied, her voice sounding a little hyper. "I'm sorry I walked out on you guys." She looked down as she intertwined her fingers with mine. Oh my god, she's holding my hand. I need to stop freaking out. "Yeah, why did you leave?" I asked, remembering when Maimi told me that Megumi had already left. Obviously, I was pissed because I never got to tell her my feelings. And now that I finally get to see her after three years, I'm curious to know why she left Hello! Project and C-ute for good.

Megumi didn't respond. She squeezed my hand tightly, and she started crying. "My parents are strict," she sobbed, wiping her eyes with her free hand. "They don't care about me!" I understood now, I'm really beginning to feel sorry for her.

"I didn't have anyone to talk to, but now that you're here..." Megumi let go of my hand and gave me a necklace that had my name on it. I realized that the necklace she was wearing had her name on it also.

"Thanks Megumi," My voice quivered for a moment. I need to tell her my feelings, before she leaves me again, but I could tell she was about to say something.

"I...had...uh...uh.." I nearly broke out into a sweat. The rain was pouring down even harder. I saw lightning and screamed. "Let's go to my house." I said instead, Megumi's hand was still in mine. She could let go, but I didn't want her to.
***********************************
Once we got to my house, I noticed that nobody was home. There was note from my parents saying that they were going on the cruise for their second honeymoon or whatever. I shrugged my shoulders, this meant I can spend time alone with Megumi.

I closed the door behind me and threw the note away, Megumi was standing in the middle of the foyer. I giggled. "Are you going to sit down?" I asked, pointing to the couch. Megumi's eyes were glued to mine..or was it my lips? I don't know.

All of a sudden, our lips collided and we fell on the couch, my eyes were closed...I didn't know that Megumi liked me back. The kiss was um..wow, I can't even explain it.

"I missed you Saki, I didn't want to leave you." Megumi admitted, getting off of me. Why did she stop right there? "Um..I wanted to tell you my feelings Megumi," I sat up on the couch, getting ready to tell her the truth. "I missed you too, and...I..."

"I love you too," Megumi started laughing. "Why did you think I kissed you?" I noticed Megumi checking the time on her watch. Her eyes were big, and she gave me a kiss on the cheek. "You have to leave, don't you?"

"Yeah," Megumi replied nervously. "Can you walk with me to my house?" I nodded silently. I really didn't want Megumi to get hurt again. "I'm going to protect you Megumi, okay?" I asked. "Okay." she replied, and we finally got to her house.

S/mileage, the name of our new group. I'm excited, but at the same time, I'm going to miss someone. Someone's who supports me no matter what. It's a possibility that she's not going to be in the group, since it's Konon, Sakitty, and Ayacho, the new leader of S/mileage that is graduating from Eggs. This is going to suck.

"Saho Akari.." A whisper escaped from my lips as I start to cry. I don't want to leave her here with the Eggs! She'll be lonely! I don't want to have to do this to her! I sit down on a bench and cry uncontrollably.

I can't stop crying. Akari's probably not going to be in the group. I want her to graduate with me, so we can perform together other than SCE or as Eggs. I'm really going to miss her.

"Yuukarin? Yuukarin?" I stopped, wiping away my tears. It was her, that familiar voice that I'm going to miss hearing. My voice cracked as I spoke up, "I'm here Akarin." Akari had a concerned and shocked expression, running over to move strands of hair out of my face.

"Yuukarin, are you okay?" Akari asked me, not even giving me time to answer. "You look a mess." I couldn't reply. There was no way I couldn't tell her how I felt about leaving her. I tried to cry, but I couldn't get the tears to flow. "I'm going to miss you Akarin." I whispered in her ear.
"Tsunku is going to pick someone else....you do know that, right Yuuka?" My body tensed up at what Akari just told me. I knew that, but what if she wasn't in it? "But still, what if you weren't picked?" Akari smiled at me, giggling.

"You know I would go with you to all of the concerts Yuuka." That was true. Akari is always there for me, no matter what. Just hearing her voice always made me laugh.
"Do you want to go get some ice cream?" I asked, feeling better, but I wanted to chat with Akari some more. "Sure." she replied, and we went to the ice cream shop.
*************************
The two of us sat down as we ate our ice cream. I got chocolate, while Akari got vanilla. We would always do these types of things together. However, I like it, and she likes it.

"So, how's Kanon and Ayacho doing?" Akari asked, licking her ice cream. I took a deep breath before replying. "Well, Ayacho is leader of S/mileage now, and Konon's doing very well." I nodded my head. Akari started laughing. I guess she was picturing Ayacho saying something funny...I guess.

"I'm happy for her. She's going to be a good leader." Akari said in between giggles. Then there was a silent aura. "Although I really do wish you were leader." I nearly choked on my ice cream cone.

"W-what did you just say?" I asked awkwardly, shifting in my seat a little. "I said, I really wish you were leader." She gave me a confused look.

"Oh, okay then." I knew that I was leader of SCE, but there was no way I could be leader of S/mileage. Ayacho deserved it.

"I love you, Yuukarin...." I could hear Akari blurt out. EHH?! I was a little confused at what she was trying to say. "I love you too Akarin, you know that." I replied, getting up to go throw my napkins away. Akari had already finished her ice cream way before me, so I finished last. I turned around to find her face close to mine.

She gave me a quick peck on the cheek and whispered, "Goodbye".

Which still leaves me confused until this day.

It was another boring day here at school. Thank goodness it was a new semester. I also heard we were having a new student, which was okay with me. I get to show them around the school just to skip class.

"Are you Yajima Maimi?" A short, dark-haired girl questioned, giving me a puzzled look. I was gazing into her dark brown eyes, a little warmth from them. My heart felt like it was throbbing now.

"Yes," I replied, my ears turning red. "What is your name?" Shimizu Saki. Duh, it says it right on her nametag. Oh well, I want to hear her say it since she pronounced my name beautifully.
"Shimizu Saki," Saki replied, bowing. "It is very nice to meet you Maimi, you have a pretty name." I blushed when I heard her say it again. I must reply back.

"S-Saki is a..uh..pretty name too." I stammered, trying not to break out in a sweat. My hands were clammy, my mouth was dry, and my skin was all prickly with goosebumps.

"I think we should start with the classrooms first, so let's go." I gave her a tutorial around the classrooms before going to the gymnasium.
*****************************************
"As you can tell, this is the GYM!" I shouted, my voice echoing in the silent, gigantic room. Everybody who had gym this period had to go outside for the day. I moved back so that Saki could walk around the room, but our hands touched, and she held onto it.

"Saki, what are you-" Saki looked like she wanted me to walk with her, so I did. I blushed as we were walking, and she could tell.

"What do you like about me...Maimi?" Saki immediately asked, covering her mouth with her free hand. We were still holding hands.

"Well, you're gorgeous." I reply, taking a strand of hair from her face. She giggles and she blushes. "What do you like about me?"

Saki looked down at my legs, and then she looked up at me. "Those lovely legs of yours, and your smile." I laughed, every girl who has a crush on me says that all the time. But now I have an odd feeling of finding a closet and having an intense makeout with her. I was shaking at the thought.

"What? It's tru-" I cut her off, giving her a quick peck on the lips. All of a sudden, she kissed me back.

That was it. I need to find a closet, now. "We have to get out of here." I was breathing hard, taking Saki's hand and went to the nearest closet in the hallway. I found one, and we made out there until the bell rang.
*************************
Afterwards, Saki and I came out of the closet as fast as possible, closing the door behind us. I can't believe we did that. I found Nakajima Saki, or Nakky, walking alone with Okai Chisato, her girlfriend. "Hey you two, what's up?" I asked them with a smirk.

"We know what you did in that closet Maimi..." Suzuki Airi, the girl who knows me very well, said as she looked at me with a puzzled look.

"Making out with the new girl Saki." Arihara Kanna smirked as she wrapped her arm around Airi's waist.

"Shame on you." Hagiwara Mai shook her head. I stood alone, blushing.

"So, did she say anything about those legs of yours?" Umeda Erika asked me with that big toothy grin of hers. "Okay, yes Kanna's right," I admitted, my face went back to my original color. "And yes Erika, she said something about my legs. We are officially together."

I turned around and looked at Saki, who was waving at me and mouthing, "Let's meet up after school." I nodded, winking at her in return.

"Let's go to class, I don't want to be late." I said as the seven of us headed to the stairs.

She's out there on the track, wanting to reach her goal to be the best on the track team. She's so brave, that's what I like about her. She wants to be the leader of the pack, and I will follow her. But there was one problem.

"Airin!" a cheerful voice behind me shouted, making me jump. I turned around and I glared at the girl, Arihara Kanna. She was dead in 5...4...3..2..1...

"KANNA!" I shouted, my voice echoing. I grabbed onto her shirt, making her stop in her tracks. She turned around and stuck her tongue out.

"So, you're staring at that Yajima Maimi girl again aren't you?" Kanna asked me, giving me a smirk. My face reddened, and I covered my mouth, trying not to scream.

"No I'm not," I started speaking in a matter-of-fact tone. "It's called entertainment." I was definitely lying, I knew Kanna was going to make another comment.

"Yeah, the entertainment of staring at her long legs." She started laughing. That's Kanna, always making those weird comments. I blushed even harder.

My eyes were directed towards the track, I was scanning the crowd until I spotted Maimi...with another girl. Her name was Erika Umeda, her girlfriend. My heart starts to sink every time I see her...I want to punch her, but I'm kind of scared.

"Uh oh, they're fighting again.." Okai Chisato, one of Erika's friends whispered, putting her arm around Nakajima Saki's shoulders. "I wonder what's going to happen." Saki replied, shaking with fear.

Hagiwara Mai was also with Chisato and Saki, watching the couple fight. "I heard she likes Suzuki Airi." she murmured. I froze in shock, staring at Maimi. Wow, Erika must have made her pissed.

"It's over." she muttered under her breath to the girls. The girls' eyes were darted towards me, giving me a mean look. "What?" I shrug my shoulders, pretending not to care. But I really did care. Maimi looked so upset.

"Listen Airi, you have to go talk to her." Kanna demanded, pointing to where Maimi was going.
"But..." I started to say, but Erika interrupted me, "Just do it." she said through gritted teeth.
*********************************
I ran to the locker room, that's where Maimi was at least. She had to be in here. I checked the rows, but she wasn't in there.

It wasn't until I was pinned to the wall and I could feel somebody's lips pressed onto mine for a quick second. I looked up. It was Maimi.

"Maimi..." I whispered, heat crept up to my cheeks again...Why did she have to break it?
"I broke up with Erika." she blurted, staring at the ceiling. There was silence in the locker room, I don't know how long.

"Why?" I finally managed to let out a whisper. I can't believe I asked that question..Wow I'm stupid.

"I'm in love with you Airi.." Maimi's hands ran through my hair. "I can never stop thinking of you..." Say something Airi, this is your chance to tell her you love her! I took a big gulp before saying something."I love you too Maimi." I replied, kissing her back.

"Let's get out of here." Maimi grabbed her jacket and put it on, I blushed even deeper.
"Why are you blushing so much?" she asked me. I gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Because I can. Race you to my house?" I reply, giving her a wink.

"Yes, Ready! Set! Go!" she replied once we got to the entrance of the school.

And we ran to my house.

There she is. Sugaya Risako, walking in the classroom, her brown orbs glistening at me. The more I think about her, the more my heart goes doki doki. I could feel the heat rise in my cheeks as she comes towards my direction. I pretend to write on a piece of paper so she wouldn't catch me staring at her, but it was too late.

"Yurina, why are you writing on the desk?" she asks, taking my pencil and erasing all the pencil marks I made on the table. I gulp. I didn't know what to say to her.

"You have pretty nails." I blurt out. Stupid, stupid, stupid Yurina. She got her nails done three weeks ago! That's all you can say to the girl you're in love with?

Risako's eyes are glistening again, and she giggles. She has such a cute laugh. It made me wonder what was so funny. Oh yeah.

"You're hilarious Yurina," she whispers softly. "Can you meet me at the entrance of the school?" I tingle all over, nodding at her request. "Good!" she perked up and went to go sit in her seat, which was in the very back. Kami-sama, please let this class not be boring.

The tardy bell rings, and Tsugunaga Momoko, Shimizu Saki, and Natsuyaki Miyabi run inside class like maniacs. Saki and Miyabi's hair and clothes were messed up. I look at Momoko, who sat right next to me, breathing, more like panting really hard. She held on to my arm for support as she leaned into to whisper something to me.

"I...saw..." She coughed. Poor girl. I was curious to know though as I gave her a concerned look. The girl's eyes were humungous!

"Miya..and...Saki...making out..." It was my turned to be shocked. I looked over at the two of them, and they looked like they were going to beat me up if I told anybody. I shook my head and kept my mouth shut.

"Class, today we are learning surface area." the teacher mumbled, writing on the board. Well, I couldn't keep my mouth shut for that long due to groaning.

"Come on..." Sudou Maasa murmured under her breath, taking out a pen and a pencil.

"Yes." Tokunaga Chinami whispered, already prepared.

As for me, I was unprepared. I didn't bring anything at all. I had no choice but to ask Momoko, who was staring into space.

"Momochi, can I-"

I noticed someone tapping me on the shoulder. I quickly turned around and noticed that Chinami had a piece of paper in her hand. "It's from Risako." she whispered before allowing me to take the paper.

My eyes were wandering around the back of the room, straining to see Risako's beautiful face. Darn it, Maasa's big head was in the way...oh well I'll see her after school.

Meanwhile, I was about to face the most boring class of the day, and I was drifting in and out of sleep, dreaming of Risako.
********************************************************
Finally, the bell rang. I grabbed my paper, and headed to my locker, which was...a mess? Binders fell out of my locker, creating a mess everywhere. I decided to take my backpack out of my locker and put the binders inside. I sighed, taking out what I need to bring home with me and putting it in my backpack.

"Okay, this should be good." I muttered to myself, closing my locker and heading to my destination: the entrance.

"Yurina," Momoko caught up with me. "Are you doing anything after school?" She asked, sounding genki.

"Actually Risako wants me to meet her, I'm sorry." I replied, trying not to hurt Momoko's feelings.

"It's okay, I understand." Momoko ran to meet up with Ishimura Maiha, our friend who has just returned from her private school.

I was perusing the crowd as one name rang in my mind. 'Risako...Risako...Risako...' As the crowd got smaller and smaller, I still couldn't find her. I decided to walk home until I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. Oh crap.

"Hi." I heard her say. I could tell she was smirking, I knew she was. I felt my face heat up yet again as I still headed towards home. "Where are you going?"

"Home." I replied nervously.

"Can you take me with you?" her question sounded like she was begging. I blush and think for a moment.

"Um...sure?" I hesitated for a moment.

She lets go of me and walks beside me, her smirk changing into a smile. I nearly melted inside.
A silence filled the air for a moment until we got to my house. I took out my key and unlocked the door, letting Risako in first as I closed it. It was a huge house I'm telling you and it was nicely decorated.

Risako sat on the couch. I sat down next to her. Finally, she spoke up.

"Ever since I came to your school, I've always thought you were beautiful." Risako quickly looked down and blushed. She still looks beautiful when she blushes. I giggled in reply.

"I thought so too." I murmur, taking her hand in mine. I couldn't stop staring at those eyes...I was so drawn to them..and I was drawn to her too. I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to kiss her.
Her eyes were shining now as I lean in to taste those lips. I finally got to taste them.

"I love you..." Risako purred in my ear as she kissed me back. I still blushed, but I closed my eyes instead.

All of a sudden, I could hear a vibrating sound. Risako and I stop in our tracks as she opened her backpack and answered it. I could tell that a woman's voice was on the phone. It was her mother.

"Yurina, I have to go..." Dang it, dang it, dang it. Why? Why? Why?

"One last kiss?" I ask, giving Risako a puppy dog look.

She laughed and kissed me on the cheek as she went to the door and unlocked it...somehow...

"Bye Yurina, I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Bye." I waved back, closing and locking the door.

When I got to the living room, I was super genki and happy. "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!"

Kago Ai's heart started pounding as she and Nozomi walked to the park. It was a clear and bright sunny day, the perfect weather to be going to the park. Kids were running around, parents chasing after them.

Ai and Nozomi have known each other since junior high. They were shy at first, but then they started getting to know each other, and then Ai started hanging out and joking around with Nozomi.

But then things started to change. Nozomi was always there for Ai whenever she was crying over the phone about her family, and it would cheer her up.

Ai had feelings for Nozomi. She was always there for her, no matter what happened.

Without thinking, Ai held onto Nozomi's arm, the both of them could feel the heat rising to their cheeks.

"Nono..." Ai was about to say, but then Nozomi started running towards the center of the park, making Ai follow her.

Ai loved these kinds of games. She could tackle Nozomi in a heartbeat.

But instead, Ai wrapped her arms around Nozomi's waist, and she didn't let go. Her cheeks were red, but she didn't care.

"Nono," Ai let go of Nozomi and took her hand, their hearts beating faster. "I really, um, have-"

All of a sudden she could feel soft lips pressing on hers, people staring at them, some "Oohs, Ahs, Aw, and Ew."

But Ai could tell that Nozomi didn't care about those people. She didn't care either.

"Nono.."

"I have feelings for you too Aibon," Nozomi whispered, kissing Ai on the cheek.

'What do I do now?' Ai knew she had to think of something, but Nozomi sat down in the grass and unwrapped something.

"What are you doing?" Ai sat down next to her, the grass was still a little wet.

Nozomi gave Ai half of her peanut butter sandwich. "I knew you were hungry so-"

"Thanks Nono." Ai interrupted, eating her half.

"So, did anything happen over at the Kago household?" Nozomi's voice was filled with concern.

"No." Ai replied, shaking her head.

"Good." Nozomi nodded, finishing her slice and looking up at the clear blue sky.
"It's so clear." she said, holding Ai's hand.

"It is," Ai replied. "That's kind of strange."

Ai tried thinking of something to say, but she couldn't. She loved being with Nozomi. Heat was rising in her cheeks.

"You make my day Nono."

Nozomi laughed, her cheeks a little red. 'Was it something I said?' Ai thought, a little embarrassed.

"You make my day too Aibon."

All of a sudden, Nozomi's cellphone rang. She got a text message.

"We should get home Aibon."

And the two girls left the park, hand-in-hand

Tsuji Nozomi walked the long way to Ai's house. She thought of going to the park, where she and Ai can talk, relax, and play funny pranks on each other. Although they were known as the 'funny couple', Nozomi still hasn't told Ai her feelings yet, and she needs to tell her when they get to the park.

Nozomi got to Ai's house, fiddling with her thumbs. She stared at the door, then she snapped out of it.

"What are you trying to do Nozomi? Act like Kaorin?" she mumbled under her breath as she rang the doorbell.

"Nozomi! Welcome!" Ai's mother greeted with a smile. Nozomi smiled back, still fiddling with her thumbs.

"Hi Kago-san." Nozomi bowed. "Where's Aibon?"

"Aibon's in her room, sleeping I guess." Ai's mother replied, shrugging her shoulders. Nozomi laughed.

"Okay, thanks." she tiptoed upstairs to Ai's room, slowly opening the door. Her face turned crimson when she saw Ai sleeping peacefully.

'She looks like she's in a deep sleep,' Nozomi thought, thinking of a plan. 'I need to wake her up.'
Suddenly, Nozomi thought of a good idea. To shake her.

"Aibon...." Nozomi shook Ai back and forth, but there was no response coming from the younger girl.

'This is a stupid idea,' Nozomi thought. 'I've been doing this for fifteen minutes now, and she's still not waking up.'

"Aibon..." Nozomi repeated for what seemed to be the billionth time. Ai fell off of the bed. Nozomi's eyes grew big, and she started laughing. Her laughter woke Ai up, who rubbed her head and mumbled some words under her breath.

"Nono! You baka!" Ai shouted, struggling to get up.

"Sorry Aibon, but we need to go to the park." Nozomi held out her hand. Ai took it and a heat went to the girls' cheeks.

"Uh...I'll get dressed now!" Ai grabbed a T-shirt that had random English words and a white skirt. She went to her bathroom.

Nozomi giggled. She's never felt this way, but something about Ai always made her blush. She lie down on Ai's bed, and she looked up at the ceiling.

"Okay Nono, I'm ready." Ai grabbed her purse and put on her white flip flops.

"That was long." Nozomi teased as she slowly stood up from Ai's bed.

"Shut up." Ai smirked in reply, slamming the door in front of Nozomi.

"Hey! Open up!" Nozomi shouted, trying to turn the doorknob, but Ai had control of it. 'Such a little jokester, that's why I like her.'

Ai let go of the doorknob, and Nozomi walked out of Ai's room. She noticed that Ai was downstairs waiting for her. 'Whoa. That was fast.' she thought.

"Let's go," Ai took out her key as the two girls walked out of the house. "I always need a day alone with you."

Sayumi stretched out on her bunny decorated bed. Comfy, soft, and bouncy was perfect as Sayumi fell asleep.

Suddenly, her cellphone started ringing to "Shouganai Yume Oibito". 'Who could it be now.' Sayumi thought, grabbing the phone and looking at the caller ID.

"Moshi Moshi?" she answered with a cute voice.

"Hi Sayu-Pinku." Sayumi could tell it was Koharu, but her voice sounded groggy.

"Hey Koha-Pinku," Sayumi was concerned. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing really," Koharu replied, her voice a little cheerful. "I want you to come to the dinner show with me."

Sayumi looked down at her PJs. "Um..I don't know.."

"Please?" Koharu interrupted her. Sayumi hesitated before replying.

"Um...okay sure."

"Okay, we'll pick you up in fifteen minutes!" Koharu's voice was cheerful.

Sayumi ran to her closet to get her black dress. She put it on and ran to go get her accessories, which were pearls. She picked out some black heels and focused on her hair.

It took five minutes for Sayumi to fix her hair. It was either down or in an updo, but she couldn't chose.

"Why does this have to be so hard?" she whined, staring at herself in the mirror. She decided to keep it down and she grabbed her purse.

"I'm leaving Mom!" she shouted as she opened the door, and walked to the driveway.
There was Koharu, standing outside the car door.

"Koha-" Sayumi was interrupted by Koharu pulling her close.

"I need to tell you something once we get to the show." she whispered, opening the door.
Sayumi nodded and got in the car. Koharu got in on the other side.

The two girls chatted about their day in school during the ride to the dinner show.
****************************
The girls walked inside the huge ballroom and decided to sit at a table far away from where Koharu's parents were sitting.

Koharu's mother gave the two of them a wink before leaving them alone. Sayumi was confused.

"Uh...Koharu, what's up with your mother?"

"She thinks we should be together again." Koharu replied.

"But we only went out for two months," Sayumi even more confused than before. "Doesn't she know that?"

"She knows," Koharu crossed her arms. "But ever since I told her I liked Aika, she's been saying that I should be with you."

Sayumi shook her head. She and Koharu are just friends. 'Baka parents.' she thought.

"She needs to get over it. And your father." Sayumi said before the show started.

It was 5:30 P.M. The sky was dull, about to go into sunset. Koharu didn't want to leave at a time like this, but she had the dinner show with her parents.

Aika was sleeping peacefully on Koharu's lap, her glossy lips formed a smile.Koharu's heart was beating fast as she got closer to Aika's lips. She kissed them, making Aika wake up.

"What time is it?" Aika asked, rubbing her eyes.

"5:35 right now." Koharu replied, looking at the clock on the wall.

"Are you staying for dinner?" Aika's hand was in Koharu's as she looked at her with watery eyes. Koharu looked down and squeezed Aika's hand. Koharu didn't want to hurt her feelings, but she had to leave.

"I'm going to a dinner party." she replied, walking to the door.

"Okay then." Aika murmured, opening the door.

Koharu couldn't stand seeing Aika's sad face. It made her sad also. Not thinking, Koharu kissed Aika's soft lips and left to go home for the dinner party.
********************
"Koharu!" Kusumi Keiichiro's voice boomed from the quiet living room. Koharu had no choice but to walk inside the dark room to hear her father lecture her.

"Yes Daddy?" Koharu's voice was squeaky like a mouse.

"Get ready for the dinner party," he said, his voice a little calm. "I know you were at the Mitsui's house." "Yes sir." Koharu went upstairs to her room, taking out her black dress and pearls.

Kusumi Marina, Koharu's mother, stepped inside the room, a look of disappointment written all over her face. "Stop seeing Aika Koharu." her words stung Koharu.

Koharu turned around in shock. "Why?"

"Because I said so. She's not right for you."

"Are you kidding me? I lo-"

"The person you should love right now is Michishige Sayumi."

"But Mo-" "Hurry up. We're going to be late."

"Yes ma'am." Koharu got dressed in five minutes and went downstairs. However, she was angry that her parents wouldn't let her see Aika.

'I love Aika. I'm not letting anyone take her away from me.'

Koharu yelped as something poked her, causing her to open her eyes and look around the room nervously.

"Ano...." she got up from her bed and peeked inside her closet. Nobody was in there. "Who is it?" Koharu was even more nervous, her heart thumping.

"Teehee." a girl giggled. Koharu froze, not moving. She slowly turned around, and- "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Koharu flopped on her bed, noticing the girl laughing uncontrollably.

"Mittsi!" Koharu fumed as her cheeks turned red. She grabbed her pillow and hit Aika. Aika was still laughing, but she smirked and whispered, "You know you like it."

"What's with all the noise?" Sayumi went inside the room, rubbing her eyes.

"Oh nothing, Sayumi, just waking Koha up." Aika helped Koharu sit up.

"Did you have to scare her so easily?" Sayumi asked, smirking at the crimson-faced Koharu.

"I planned it." Aika gave Koharu a sly face.

"Shut up Aika!" Koharu laughed.

"I think we should go." Sayumi peeked in the hallway.

"Okay." Koharu and Aika groaned as the three girls went to go get their breakfast.

"I guess this is goodbye." Koharu murmured in a sad tone, holding on to Aika's hand. Aika bit her lip, trying to say something, but no words came out. She messed with her key.

Suddenly, an idea popped in her head. "Why don't you come inside?" Aika asked, her pearly whites showing. She hoped Koharu would say yes.

Instead, Koharu wrapped her arms around Aika's waist and shouted, "I WOULD LOVE TO!" Aika could tell Koharu was very hyper. She blushed and unlocked the door.

"Hello Aika," Kyoko Mitsui greeted. "Who's your friend?" 'Crap.' Aika thought, her blush fading. She didn't expect her mother to be at home.

"Uh..Mom..this is...."

"Kusumi Koharu!" Koharu interrupted, bowing.

"It's nice to meet you Koharu," Aika's mother was about to leave the room. "If you need anything Aika, just let me know."

"Hai." Aika put on a fake smile as her mother left the room. "She's so embarrassing." she whispered.

"I know what you mean," Koharu blushed. "I have a mother like that."

'Our mothers are embarrassing.' Aika giggled.

"What's so funny?" Koharu questioned, looking at Aika with a funny look. This made Aika laugh even harder.

"Can't you see?" Aika said in between.

"What?"

"We have so many things in common."

"That's true." Koharu hugged Aika.

"Koharu?"

"Yes?"

"Why do you like me?" Aika couldn't believe she asked that question. 'Great.' she thought, biting her lip.

"Well," Koharu looked at the ceiling, still hugging Aika.

"You're smart, very pretty, and you're a nice girl." Aika couldn't stop giggling.

"Do you want to watch anime?" Aika grabbed the remote.

"Kirarin Revoultion is good." Koharu replied, her voice a little squeaky.

"That's why I like you." Aika muttered.

"Why...what?" Koharu was a little lost.

"Nothing. Let's watch."

"Alright." Koharu and Aika watched the anime together until it was time for dinner.

“So, how is it?” Yossie asked when Ayaka tried the wasabi. “A little spicy.” Ayaka coughed, drinking some water. Yossie chuckled. “So what is it you wanted to tell me?” she asked. “Uh…” Ayaka replied, looking down at the plate of food. “Makoto’s…here right?” “She’s at my apartment, with Rika.” Yossie was a little puzzled. “Are you sure?” Ayaka took a sip of her water. “Oh yeah I’m sure.” Yossie replied, confident. Ayaka could tell that Yossie was a little unsure about Makoto and Rika. “Okay, you think that.” Ayaka finished her food. “Full.” Yossie whined, pushing her plate forward. “This business is going to soar.” Yossie’s eyes perused around the place. “I’ll pay.” Ayaka took out her credit card as the waiter handed her the receipt. “Thanks for the lunch,” Yossie thanked Ayaka. “Was that all you needed to tell me?” “I guess so.” Ayaka replied. ‘Okay…’ Yossie was a little suspicious. After Ayaka got her credit card back, the two girls left the shop.

“Hmm…” Makoto hummed, looking at the buildings. “No grand opening sign here.” “She’s probably in the shopping district Makoto.” Rika obviously wanted to leave this place. Makoto turned around and saw someone walk out of the sushi shop. “Who is that?” Rika pointed at the tall woman walking down the street. “Oh, it’s probably just Yossie.” Makoto replied. The girls stood in place, staring at each other, their eyes narrowing. “YOSSIE!” Makoto and Rika were running very fast. Except for the fact that Makoto was ahead of Rika. Rika grunted, and she was lost in the sea of people walking. As for Makoto, she finally caught up to Yossie, her arms wrapping around her waist. “I found you.” Makoto whispered, looking behind her to see if Rika was anywhere near the two. “Eh? Mako-chan?” Yossie turned around, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. Makoto always liked that blush; it appeared on her cheeks too. “Where’s Rika?” Yossie asked, stroking Makoto’s hair. “She has to go do something.” Makoto lied. “Let’s go to the apartment then.” ‘She is so dead.’ Rika thought as she decided to go get something to eat before heading back home.

Risa and Ai passed out on their couch when they got home. It felt so good to be back. "Reina loves money." Ai murmured, looking up at Risa. "You just realized that?" Risa replied, completely shocked. "Uh....no?" Ai's voice squeaked a little bit. "Liar." Risa hit Ai with a pillow. "Hey! No fair!" Ai grabbed a pillow from behind her and smacked Risa with it. "Pillow Fight!" The two girls shouted, but Risa's smile turned into a frown. "Wait..." "What?" Ai asked, a little curious. "We're on a couch...let's go to the bedroom!" Ai looked down. "Okay!" And they continued the pillow fight in the bedroom.

"Eririn," Reina asked when she entered Eri's room. "What are you doing?" "Typing something." Eri replied, not turning away from her laptop. "To who?" "No one." Eri looked at Reina. "Okay, if you say so." Reina did seem suspicious, but she wasn't jealous. Eri just needed her privacy, that's all.

"This will fit you Sayu!" LinLin grabbed jeans with a bunny on it. "Hmm...let me try this on," Sayumi went to one of the fitting rooms to try on the pants. She came out in five minutes with the pants on. "What do you think?" she asked, turning around. 'Perfect.' LinLin thought, staring at Sayumi. "Awesome!" she beamed. "Thanks LinLin, I'm definitely buying these." Sayumi went back to the fitting room. LinLin started looking up at the ceiling. "I'm done, let's go." Sayumi paid for the jeans and walked with LinLin. "Usagi," LinLin put an arm around Sayumi. "Yes?" Sayumi beamed. "You want to come over to my house?" LinLin asked with hesitation in her voice. "Yes." Sayumi replied, nodding. After that kiss with Eri, Sayumi had nowhere else to go.

2009-04-09T21:40:00.002-05:00

“Thanks Eri and Reina.” Ai and Risa said, getting their things. “You don’t have to thank us.” Reina replied. There was a long silence, and the four girls started laughing. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had this much fun.” Eri said in between giggles. “It’s been forever.” Risa muttered under her breath. “I guess we have to go.” Ai opened the door. “We’ll see you again!” Risa waved goodbye and closed the door. “Bye!” Reina and Eri said at the same time. “She needs to give us our money.” Reina mumbled under her breath before the two headed off to their bedrooms.

“Oh! Koharu, I remember you now!” Aika was hyper to see her friend. “How are things with JunJun?” Koharu asked, looking over at the taller girl, buying the banana plushie. “Ah, things are going well,” Aika looked back, her cheeks turning a reddish color. “I finally told her my feelings. Are you with anybody right now Koharu?” Aika seemed curious. “Well, um..currently…” “Hey Koharu!” JunJun waved, walking over to where the two were talking. “I haven’t seen you in forever!” “Hey JunJun,” Koharu squeaked a little. “I’m going to call you the ‘Banana Monster’ from now on.” The three girls started laughing. “So, are you with anybody Koharu.” “Currently, no one.” Koharu shook her head, her pigtails hitting both Aika & JunJun’s faces. “Ow!” the two shouted, glaring at Koharu. “Oh, I’m sorry,” Koharu was a little embarrased, but she thought it was funny. “Did you guys move into a new house yet?” “Yes,” JunJun replied. “With annoying neighbors.” “They’re not that bad Jun.” Aika held JunJun’s hand. “I guess they’re not.” The taller girl replied, kissing Aika on the cheek. “Awwww.” Koharu clapped her hands, smiling. “You want to come over?” JunJun offered. “Sure.” Koharu shrugged her shoulders. “Let’s go.” Aika said, and the girls went over to the apartment.

Sayumi didn’t know that it was going to be so cold outside. She should have worn something else besides a hoodie with a bunny T-shirt under it. But the jeans and bunny sneakers helped though. She would wear anything with a bunny on it. “Usa-chan peace…” she murmured. She tripped and fell over a rock. She was trying to get up quickly so nobody would see her, but it was too late. “Are you okay?” A girl with a panda shirt asked, holding out her hand. Sayumi took the girl’s hand and got up. “Thank you.” she bowed, not looking at the girl in the face. “You’re welcome.” the girl replied. “What’s your name?” “Sayumi, but you can call me Sayu.” Sayumi replied to the panda girl’s question. “My name is LinLin.” the girl shook Sayumi’s hand. ‘She has a pretty smile.’ Sayumi thought as the two shook hands. “Nice to meet you.” the two girls said at the same time. “What are you doing right now?” Sayumi was curious, very curious. “Well, I’m buying me some new T-shirts with pandas on them.” LinLin replied. “I was about to go find me some bunny T-shirts.” Sayumi blushed. “Let’s go then! I know the perfect place!” LinLin grabbed Sayumi’s hand, and Sayumi nearly had a nosebleed.

Yossie walked to the grand opening of the sushi shop, seeing her friend Ayaka waiting for her. “Am I in the right place?” Yossie asked Ayaka before sitting down. Ayaka nodded, looking around. “It’s awesome, isn’t it?” Yossie was speechless. “May I help you?” the waiter asked, quickly taking out a notebook and pen. “I’ll have some nigirizushi.” Yossie replied. “I’ll have the same thing.” Ayaka said, not even looking down at the menu. “Ayaka, you’re trying wasabi?!?!” Yossie was pretty shocked, since Ayaka was nervous because wasabi was spicy. “Yes.” Ayaka replied, nodding her head. “It’s spicy though.” Yossie warned as the girls waited for their food. “Oh well.” Ayaka rolled her eyes.

“She must be over there.” Makoto pointed to an abandoned sushi shop. “No, how can she be over there?” Rika asked. “You’re right.” Makoto sighed. “Oh, a grand opening sign!” Makoto ran to the building. “Oh no you don’t!” Rika ran right after her. The two stopped and looked to see if cars were coming their way. There were none, so they ran across the street. They finally stopped at the building, and….“DARN IT!” Makoto and Rika yelled at the same time. It was a store. “You know what, I’m going to get my twenty bucks.” Rika whispered, but loudly enough so Makoto could hear. “Not if I get it first.” Makoto replied, not caring. “As long as we can find Yossie.” The girls said at the same time.

“Aika, do you hear something?” JunJun asked. “Yeah, yelling.” Aika replied. “And they say we’re annoying.” she added under her breath. “Sounds like they’re playing video games.” JunJun put her ear to the wall. “I’d rather watch TV.” Aika got the remote and turned on the TV. “And watch anime?” “Yeah.” Aika looked at JunJun. “That…is…awesome!” JunJun shouted. Aika giggled. “Let’s watch together.” “Okay.” They started watching a random show. ‘Oh my god, what do I do?’ Aika thought. “Do you want to go somewhere?” JunJun asked out of the blue. “What?” “Do you want to go somewhere?” JunJun tried not to giggle. “Oh, yes.” Aika nodded. “To the mall?” JunJun asked. “Okay, that sounds good.” Aika put her jacket on, and they headed to the mall.

“This is awesome Jun.” Aika held JunJun’s hand, her cheeks turning pink. “It’s even better when you’re here.” JunJun said, squeezing Aika’s hand. “Let’s go in there!” Aika pointed to a accesory store. “Oooh! Banana!” JunJun walked inside with Aika. “Banana plushie JunJun?” Aika turned around as JunJun’s eyes got big. “Me want banana.” JunJun got the banana from Aika, and went to the cashier. “Hey Aika.” Aika turned around, and saw a girl that looked strange. “It’s me, Koharu.” ‘Koharu?’ Aika thought.

“I’m out,” Yossie called out to Makoto and Rika. Makoto came out of her room on one hall, and Rika’s room was on the other hall on the other side. “Good timing.” she whispered under her breath as she started running towards Yossie, hugging her around the waist. “Mako-chan,” Yossie said in between giggles. “I have to go.” “No, no, you can’t leave.” Rika pulled Makoto off of Yossie. “Where are you going?” Makoto asked. “I’m trying out the new sushi at the sushi shop, or whatever it’s called.” Yossie replied. “Well, anyway, I’m out. Be nice to each other.” Yossie walked out and locked the door.

“Something’s wrong.” Makoto looked like she was about to panic. “Quit panicking Makoto.” Rika was trying not to hurt her. “We drove her away,” Makoto started freaking out. “Was it me? Was it you? Oh yeah, it was you. Definitely you.” “Will you shut up?” Rika was getting irritated. “Yes Rika.” Makoto said in a tiny voice. “Now, we have to know where Yossie is.” Rika started thinking of a plan. “Don’t you think that’s a little too much? She needs alone time.” Makoto stopped walking in circles. “Yeah, you’re right,” Rika agreed with Makoto. “Hmm…there’s no sushi shops around here-” “But there are some downtown.” Makoto interrupted. ‘I can totally read her mind.’ Makoto giggled. Rika looked at her stunned. “....Forget it." Rika gave up. "We need to make lunch." Makoto decided that they make hot dogs. "Hot dogs?" Rika asked. "Yeah. They are awesome, especially in America. “Yay.” Rika said sarcastically. ‘Hater.’ Makoto thought as she put the hot dogs in the microwave. She set them for 25 seconds. “That was quick.” Rika was a little shocked. “Yep.” Makoto took the hotdogs out of the microwave and put them in the hot dog buns. She put them on a plate, and she walked over to Rika. "Here, try it. It's good." Makoto started eating one. Rika took a bite of her hot dog. “It’s good.” She nodded as she took another bite. “I am awesome.” Makoto smiled. “No, you’re not.” Rika replied. “Let’s have a bet. Twenty dollars to whoever runs to Yossie first.” Makoto said. “Okay, but I’m going to win.” “No, I am.” Makoto smirked. “Bring it on.” the two girls said at the same time.

“NO!” Risa shouted, staring blankly at the screen. “Looks like I won Risa, you better pay up.” Reina smirked. “NO!” Risa shouted again, glaring at Reina. “At least she won.” Eri stuck her tongue out at Risa. “You know what Eri? Let’s play another game.” Ai picked up the controller. “Bring it on.” Eri squinted her eyes. The two started playing the game. “I’m going to beat you Eri.” Ai said as she starting earning points. Eri just grunted. “Come on Eri, you can do it!” Reina cheered on. ‘Oh dear Kami-sama.’ Risa thought. “Ai, don’t let me down.” Risa whispered. “I won’t let you down.” Ai whispered back. She was already ahead of Eri in the game, so it was all good for them. “USO!!!!!!!!!!!” Eri shouted as she realized Ai was winning. “Calm down Eri, Ai and Risa will both pay us later.” Reina tried calming down Eri. “How many-You know what, forget it.” Risa was trying not to argue with Reina. Ai got to the finish line in the last lap, while Eri finished in last place. “EH?!” Eri shouted shocked. “You two better pay up.” Risa and Ai waited for their money patiently. Reina gave in and took out her wallet. “Here, ten dollars. Happy?” Reina asked coldly, giving the girls the money. “Yes.” Ai and Risa nodded. “We will get you back.” Eri pointed at the girls. “Whatever, we’re still going to win.”

“Hey Eri,” Reina walked over to the girl, who was playing video games. “Can Ai and Risa come over?” “Yeah.Sure.” Eri didn’t take her eyes off the game. “Are you even listening?” Reina asked. “Yeah.Sure.” Eri repeated. Reina just rolled her eyes and started laughing. “Okay then…” Reina went back to talking to Risa, who was on the other line. “We’re going to be there in fifteen minutes.” Risa smiled at Ai, who had just gotten out of the shower. “Alright then, see you later. Bye.” Reina hung up the phone. “I WON!” Eri shouted, happy that she made a high score. “And it’s your first time, I’m really happy for you.” Reina sat down next to her. Eri pouted, turning her back on Reina. It was silent until Risa and Ai came along, then the two girls started laughing once the doorbell rang.

“Open up Reina, it’s us.” Ai called from outside. “Come in.” Reina called from inside. Risa opened the door. “Okay, I’m ready to kick Reina’s butt on the racing game.” Risa put her stuff down, and she went to sit in Eri’s spot. Eri sat behind Reina, while Ai sat next to Risa. “First, let’s take a bet.” Reina put down the controller. “What? Why?” Ai asked, curious. “I just want the money.” Reina laughed an evil laugh. “NO!” Ai & Risa said at the same time. ‘What’s her problem?’ Ai thought. “Reina, quit being silly and let’s play.” Risa’s eyes were now glued to the television. “Okay, but I’m still going to beat you.” Reina whispered.

Aika & JunJun were watching TV when they heard a weird sound coming from next door. “What was that?” Aika nearly panicked. “I bet Eri and…and…” “Reina.” Aika said. “Right, Reina are playing a racing game, or something similar to that.” JunJun got up and went over to the couch. She started relaxing. “Hey, not without me!” Aika went over to JunJun and got on top of her. JunJun started giggling. “What are you going to do?” “This…” Aika kissed JunJun.

“Mako-chan,” Yossie went into the guest room. “What?” Makoto was putting her clothes up. “Can I help you?” “Yeah, sure.” Makoto smiled. ‘Rika’s definitely going to be jealous.’ She smirked at the thought. “Did you make any friends while you were in university?” Yossie asked, putting Makoto’s pants on a hanger. Makoto nodded. “Do you remember Konkon?” Makoto looked at Yossie, hoping for Yossie to say “yes”. “Oh yeah,” Yossie remembered. “The shy girl with the red hair.” “She went to University with me, except she had a different dorm.” Yossie nodded. “Konkon seems really nice. She’s a good goalie for the futsal team.” “She is?” Makoto stopped. “Yeah, along with Tsuji.” Yossie replied. Makoto looked a little jealous. “Aw..Mako-chan is jealous, will a kiss make up for that?” Makoto laughed. “Shut up.” Yossie started tickling her. “No…Yossie…stop it!” Makoto was laughing even harder. Rika walked by the guest room door, and she looked at Yossie tickling Makoto. “What is going on in here?” she asked. Yossie stopped tickling Makoto and looked at Rika. “Rika…it’s not what you think..” Yossie was about to say, walking over to her. “Whatever.” Rika walked to her room.

“Darn,” Ai mumbled as a sausage fell on the floor. She picked it up and threw in the trash can. Risa walked in and kissed Ai on the cheek. “What happened?” she asked. “I dropped a sausage.” Ai was cooking sausages with ham for breakfast. “It’s okay.” Risa hugged Ai. “I know, I just hate it when something falls.” Ai was still cooking. Risa kissed Ai again, and went back to her room. Ai giggled, blushing.

“Now, what were you trying to say again?” JunJun asked Aika, her arm now around her waist. “Never mind.” Aika looked down. “No, tell me.” JunJun lifted Aika’s chin up, which revealed that she was blushing. JunJun blushed. “JunJun, I…I…” “You what?” JunJun asked. ‘I hope that she’s saying what I think she’s saying.’ JunJun thought. “I..love you.” Aika looked down again. “Really?” JunJun asked with a weird squeakiness in her voice. Aika nodded, but she was a little surprised. “I’ve been wanting to say the same thing to you Aika.” Aika still didn’t move, until JunJun finally kissed her.

“Our little secret?” Yossie asked in a tiny voice. “Yes.” Makoto replied, kissing her. Yossie returned the kiss, until she heard Rika call, “I’m home!” ‘Darn it, she had to ruin something.’ Makoto thought. “Hey Rika-chan!” Yossie went to the living room. “Hey Rika!” Makoto waved. Rika ignored Makoto. “What did you guys do?” Rika asked Yossie. “I helped her unpack her things.” Yossie said, which was partly a lie. Makoto nodded in agreement, her arm around Yossie’s waist. Rika didn’t notice it. Yossie looked down, trying not to blush, at least not in front of Rika. Rika walked up to Makoto, who quickly put her arm down, and said, “I’m still watching you.” “Okay.” There was still a smile on Makoto’s face. Rika went to her room, while Makoto went back to the guest room. Yossie followed right after her.

“You do?” Risa asked, a little shocked. Maki nodded. “I know you love her.” She took a sip of her coffee. Risa nodded in agreement. “So, that’s why we shouldn’t see each other anymore.” Risa finished. The two shook hands, and Risa left the café. “Ai-chan, I’m home.” Risa called. Ai was watching the movie that Risa was watching earlier. “Hey, that didn’t take too long.” Ai laughed. “So, what were you doing while I was gone?” Risa sat next to Ai. “Watching your movie,” Ai replied. “It’s sad.” “I know,” Risa sat next to Ai. “I’ve seen it 3 times already.” “What did you talk with Maki about?” Ai asked, a little suspicious. “Nothing really. She’s…moving somewhere.” Risa lied. “Oh really? Where?” Ai asked, turning off the DVD player. “She didn’t tell me.” Risa lied again. “Oh, okay.” Ai turned the DVD player back on, which showed where she left off in the movie. Risa took off her jacket. “So, where are we?” Risa lay her head on Ai’s lap. “I thought you watched the movie.” Ai laughed. “I did,” Risa laughed. “I just wanted to see your expression.”

“Welcome,” JunJun greeted the two girls. “Come in.” Aika’s cheeks went back to her usual color. The two girls walked in. “We just want to say one thing.” the girl with the curly light brown locks said. Aika nodded. “What is it?” “The boxes annoy us.” the girl with the pigtails said in a cold voice. “Oh, I’m sorry about that.” JunJun bowed. “It’s okay. My name is Kamei Eri, and this is Tanaka Reina.” Eri introduced themselves. “Nice to meet you.” JunJun said. “My name is Mitsui Aika, and this is JunJun.” Aika was beside JunJun, who put her arm around her. Aika’s face turned red. “I guess we will leave you two alone.” Reina grabbed Eri’s hand and the two left the apartment to go next door. ‘This is weird…’ Aika thought.

“Mako-chan…I don’t think we should be doing this.” Yossie stroked Makoto’s hair as they kissed. “Why not?” Makoto stopped kissing Yossie. “Because, I feel like I’m cheating on Rika.” Yossie sat down in a chair. “Oh yeah, you’re still with her.” Makoto looked a little upset. “Yeah, and she told me I couldn’t do anything bad with you.” Yossie shook her head. “She won’t know.” Makoto walked over to Yossie, putting her finger on her lips. “It’s going to be our little secret.”

2009-04-09T21:29:00.002-05:00

Risa walked into the café and saw Maki, who was looking through her cellphone. “Maki.” Risa spoke up as she walked over to their table. “Hey.” Maki couldn’t take her eyes off the phone. “I can’t see you anymore.” Risa sat down in a chair. “I know,” Maki put down her cellphone. “You don’t want to hurt Ai’s feelings.” Risa was shocked. ‘That came out of nowhere.’ Risa thought. “That’s exactly what I was going to say.” “Well, I agree with you.” Maki looked at her straight in the eyes. ‘Oh no, not that look.’ Risa thought.

Eri was playing video games when she heard something strange. She turned around and saw Reina, who was standing still. It sounded like the moving of empty boxes being shoved somewhere. “Do you hear something Reina?” Eri asked. Reina nodded. “We should go and see what’s going on.” “Alright.” Eri turned off the video game system, and the two went next door.

“Aika,” JunJun moved the empty boxes. “Why did you try to…kiss me?” Aika didn’t reply. “Aika?” JunJun looked up. “It’s…because…” Aika tried to find the words as she puffed her cheeks. “Because of what?” JunJun asked, walking over to Aika. “I lo-“ There was a knock on the door. ‘Oh thank goodness.’ Aika thought, sighing. JunJun went to the door and opened it.

“So, how was your stay in America?” Yossie asked Makoto, blushing like crazy. “It was awesome,” Makoto put a shirt on a hanger and hung it up in the closet. “But it was kind of sad without you there.” Makoto hugged Yossie from behind. “Ah….” Yossie froze. “I really missed you.” Makoto continued. “I missed you too Mako-chan.” Yossie smiled. “I love you Yossie.” Makoto was now beside Yossie. “I love you too Mako-chan…” And then their lips touched.

“Why are you worried about that snowglobe anyway?” JunJun asked as she looked for the box. Aika climbed inside, closing the trunk door behind her. “It was the first gift you gave to me.” Aika replied. JunJun turned around, seeing an embarrased Aika. “You know, you don’t need that snowglobe.” JunJun said, holding Aika’s hand. Aika’s cheeks went from pink to red. She looked up at her. JunJun laughed. “You look cute when you blush.” “So do you.” Aika replied, inching closer to JunJun. Their lips were just about to touch until Aika hit her head. “Stupid ceiling!” she shouted. “It’s okay Aika-chan. Let’s go inside.” JunJun opened the trunk door, carried Aika out, and they went to their apartment.

“Yossie, I can’t make lunch today.” Rika put on her jacket. “Why?” Yossie asked, her eyes now on Rika. “Because I have a press conference to go to.” “Oh, okay.” Yossie nodded. “Oh, Yossie?” “Hmm?” “Please don’t do anything bad with Makoto.” And with that she left. ‘Thank god she left.’ Makoto thought. “I can help you with lunch.” Makoto peeked, her voice cheery. Yossie turned around. “I’m good.” Yossie watched more TV. “Are you sure?”Makoto sat next to Yossie, her head on her shoulder. Yossie tried not to blush. “I’m sure.” she replied. “Okay.” Makoto went to the guest room to unpack her things. “Hey Makoto?” “Yes.” Makoto turned around. “Can I help you with your bags?” “Sure!” Makoto said, happy.

2009-04-09T21:27:00.002-05:00

“Well, who is she? You just received a text message from her.” Ai asked, giving the phone to Risa. “She’s a friend.” Risa replied, looking at the text message. She quickly put her phone beside up. “What does it say?” “She has to meet me at the café.” Risa replied. ‘This is strange. We’ve never had a talk before.’ “Are you sure you’re not doing anything with her?” “Maybe.” Risa replied, closing the door behind her. ‘Does she even know that she’s going out in her pajamas?’ Ai thought, shaking her head. Risa burst through the door. “I’m going to wear something.” Risa went into the bedroom. Ai started laughing. “Okay, I’m leaving.” Risa left after five minutes of changing.

“I think we forgot one box JunJun,” Aika said, looking around. The girls finally unpacked their things ever since 8 in the morning. “What do you mean ‘we forgot one box’?” JunJun sat up, looking at Aika. Aika giggled. “It’s that snowglobe you gave me on my birthday.” JunJun nodded. “I can get it for you.” JunJun went to the door. “I’ll go with you.” Aika followed as she closed the door behind her. They walked silently to the car and JunJun opened the trunk. “Nothing’s in here!” she said as she climbed in. “Are you sure?” Aika asked, biting her lip. “Don’t worry Aika, we’re going to find it. Trust me.” JunJun looked back at Aika. “Okay.” Aika replied in a small voice. ‘Why am I having these weird feelings?’ she thought.

I Miss You (Chapter Nine)

2009-04-09T21:25:00.003-05:00

Risa was eating some popcorn and watching a movie. Ai was in her bedroom changing into her pajamas. Ai was trying to put her hair up in a ponytail, but it just wanted to be down. ‘I don’t have time for this.’ Ai thought as she flopped on the bed, not knowing that Risa’s phone was on it. Ai went to pick it up. Her phone binged, saying that it was a text message. From Maki. Ai was suspicious and walked over to the living room, where Risa was watching the movie. “Um..Risa?” Ai asked. “Hm?” Risa’s eyes were focused on the movie. She finished the popcorn already. “Who’s Maki?” Ai asked with a sharper tone. Risa took her eyes off the movie for a moment to look at Ai. ‘She can’t be serious…’

“Well, that’s it,” Aika put the last box down. “Now all we have to do is unpack it.” Aika turned to JunJun, who was laying down on the floor. “Can’t we do it tomorrow?” She asked, sitting up. Aika looked at JunJun, who put on her puppy face. ‘She looks so adorable making that face.’ Aika thought, walking over and sitting next to JunJun on the floor. “Okay. We can wait tomorrow.” Aika tousled JunJun’s hair, making JunJun blush. “Hey, you’re blushing again.” Aika poked JunJun’s cheek. “So are you.” JunJun poked Aika’s cheek.

“Why was Sayu here Eririn?” Reina asked. “I don’t know,” Eri replied. “She just came in here and kissed me.” “Did you stop?” Reina asked again. ‘Please tell me that she at least tried to.’ Eri shook her head. “I couldn’t do anything.” Eri felt miserable, and she broke down. ‘I hate to see her cry.’ Reina put her stuff down on the couch and went over to hug Eri. “There, there, it’s okay.” Reina kissed Eri’s forehead.

“I really like your house Rika.” Makoto followed behind Rika, looking at all the decorations in the hallway. “I’m sure you do.” Rika replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes. ‘This girl is so dumb…Ugh!’ She thought. ‘Why does she have to sound so sarcastic?’ Makoto thought. “Here’s…Yossie’s…bedroom.” Rika tried to put on a smile. “I LOVE IT!” Makoto ran to Yossie’s bed and jumped on it. Rika furrowed her eyebrows. “What are you doing?” she asked. “Jumping on Yossie’s bed.” Makoto replied. ‘This is going to be a long day.’ Rika thought.

I Miss You (Chapter Eight)

2009-04-09T21:23:00.001-05:00

“Hey JunJun, can you help me with this box?” Aika asked as she struggled with the heavy box. “Of course.” JunJun replied, taking the box from her and walking to their new apartment. ‘She’s such a good friend.’ Aika thought as she carried a small box. “Wait for me!” Aika ran towards JunJun, who turned around and waited for her. “Why are you carrying a light box?” JunJun looked at her with angry eyes as they walked to their new apartment. “Because I can.” Aika smirked. JunJun stuck out her tongue. Aika laughed. “That’s not funny,” JunJun glared at Aika. “Can you open the door?” JunJun asked. “Yes.” Aika took the key out of her pocket and opened the door. JunJun ran to the middle of a big area and put the box down. Aika put the small box on the counter. JunJun blushed as Aika looked at her with a grin on her face. “Hey, why are you blushing?” Aika poked JunJun’s cheek. “I don’t know.” JunJun laughed when Aika poked her cheek. “Sure….” Aika winked. JunJun blushed even harder. She followed Aika, who was getting more boxes.

“We’re home Rika.” Yossie called, putting Makoto’s bags on the sofa. “Your house is so pretty.” Makoto said, looking at the amazing designs. Rika came out of the bedroom and glared at Makoto. “I like the house.” Makoto complimented once again. “I can give you a tour, since you saw the living room & the kitchen.” Yossie laughed. “Yossie, you need to relax,” Rika put her hand on Yossie’s shoulder. “I’ll show her around.” “Okay.” Yossie sat down on the sofa, moving Makoto’s things. She grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.

I Miss You (Chapter Seven)

2009-04-09T21:21:00.002-05:00

Risa reached for the doorknob as she stood in front of the apartment door. ‘I’m just going to open the door.’ she thought, opening it. There was Ai, sitting on the couch watching anime. “Ai, I’m home.” Risa put on a smile. Ai looked up. “At least I know you’re safe!” Ai hugged Risa, nearly knocking her over. Risa laughed. ‘I feel so upset. She’s so happy.’ Risa thought as her laugh died down. “Is there something wrong Risa?” Ai stopped hugging Risa, looking at her with concern. “No.” Risa lied, shaking her head. ‘I’m just going to hide it. I’m not telling Ai.’

Reina hummed a tune as she unlocked the door, excited to see Eri. She opened the door to see Sayumi kissing Eri. Reina dropped everything, making Sayumi turn around and look at her with disgust. “What are you doing here Sayu?” Reina asked, staring at her with cold eyes. “What do you think I’m doing?” Sayumi replied back coldly, walking up to Reina. “Listen,” Reina’s face was close to Sayumi’s, anger in her eyes. “Don’t come see Eri ever, ever, again. She’s my girlfriend, and you need to back off.” “Whatever.” Sayumi replied, leaving Eri and Reina alone.

Yossie got to the airport at 8:20, ten minutes before Makoto was arriving from America. Things ran through her mind as she waited at the entrance. She was shaking badly and she kept looking down. Finally, she looked up, and she saw Makoto running towards her. “Mako-chan!” Yossie blurted, her cheeks turning red. ‘Why did I say it like that?’ she thought. “Hey Yossie!” Makoto said, panting. “…Hey, are you okay?” Yossie asked. “Oh I’m fine.” Makoto replied. “How are you?” Yossie asked, picking up Makoto’s bags. “I’m good, thank you,” Makoto looked up at Yossie. “So, have you been with anyone lately?” “Rika.” Yossie nodded. “Are you happy you’re with her?” Makoto asked, her voice rising with concern. Yossie thought for a moment. “Hm..not really. She makes me happy, but you make me excited.” “Really?” “Yeah.” Yossie looked at Makoto. “I couldn’t stop thinking about you while I was in America Yossie.” Makoto’s head was down. She was trying not to blush. “I couldn’t stop thinking about you either.” Yossie giggled. “Let’s hurry up though, I want to see your house, your car, everything!” Makoto grabbed Yossie’s hand. “Uh…okay.” Yossie replied as she and Makoto were heading towards the exit.

2009-04-09T21:19:00.002-05:00

Risa hung up the phone. She looked back at Maki. “Where were we?” she asked, turning around. “Right here.” Maki kissed Risa.

Eri was waiting for Reina, who seemed to be running other errands. She cleaned the house, and decorated it. There was a knock at the door. Eri opened it. “Sayumi?” she asked. Sayumi was one of her closest friends. Sayumi was silent. “Is there something wrong?” Eri asked. “It’s not wrong for me, but it is wrong for you.” Sayumi replied. “What do you-“ Sayumi kissed her. And Sayumi was right, it was wrong for Eri, because she didn’t break away.

Yossie was rushing. She needed to go to the airport to meet up with Makoto. “It’s 8:00.” she mumbled. “I’m supposed to be there by 8:30.” “Yossie, where are you going?” asked Rika, who wrapped her arms around Yossie, making her nearly fall. “To the airport,” Yossie replied. “I’ve got to see Makoto.” “WHAT??!?!?!” Rika yelled, letting go of Yossie. ‘Oh snap, I’ve never seen her this mad before.’ Yossie thought. ‘How could she see that witch?’ Rika thought. Yossie slowly got up. “I…I’ll be leaving.” Yossie grabbed her jacket, and she left. “Makoto is back,” Rika said under her breath. “I need to keep her away from my Yossie!”

Flashback: 2 years ago

"Look at that baka," Rika mumbled, glaring at Makoto. "She thinks that she can take my Yossie and put her under her spell..." "Haha," Yossie laughed, holding her sides. "Makoto's jokes aren't even that funny." Rika rolled her eyes. "Thanks for the ring Yossie," Makoto said, kissing Yossie on the cheek. "I can't live without it." 'Ring? What ring?' Rika thought, her eyes narrowing. "Ah, you're welcome Mako-chan." Yossie replied, kissing her back. 'This disgusts me,' Rika thought. 'I have to do something about this.'

2009-04-09T21:18:00.001-05:00

“When is Risa ever going to come back?” Ai asked out loud. Risa has been gone for 3 hours, and she never came back. She never called Ai…Ai didn’t even know what to do right now. Finally, the phone rang. “Hello?” Ai answered. “Hey Ai. Sorry I didn’t call you.” Risa replied. “It’s okay,” Ai’s voice was relaxed. “I was just worried.” “Sorry I left you,” Risa told Ai. “I had to go do something.” “What?” Ai asked. “Just something.” Risa replied, looking guilty. ‘I can’t tell you what I did to you Ai-chan’.

Eri made sushi for lunch…again. It was a huge addiction to her. Reina needed to get more groceries, so Eri decided to make her sushi. But this time it had wasabi on it. Eri hated it, but Reina loved it. ‘It’s going to be a surprise, just for the two of us’. Eri thought, smiling.

“Yossie, why aren’t you saying anything?” Makoto asked from the other line. Yossie tried thinking of something to say. “I’m just shocked you called…” Yossie replied, her hand trembling. “Guess what?” Makoto said in English. “What?” Yossie replied in English. “I’m coming to Japan.” Makoto squealed in Japanese. “Really?” Yossie was still shocked. “Well, yeah because we’re taking a break here in University, so I decided to come see you.”Makoto replied. ‘She sounds so cute when she’s perky.’ Yossie thought. “That’s cool Mako-chan!” “I can’t wait to see you!” Makoto sounded happy on the other line. “I can’t wait to see you too!” Yossie replied. “Oh, and Yossie?” “Hmmm?” “I love you.” “I love you too Mako-chan.”Yossie hung up the phone. ‘What am I going to do?’

I Miss You (Chapter Four)

2009-04-09T21:16:00.002-05:00

Risa woke up at midnight from the beeping of her cellphone. ‘A text message?’ she thought. She looked down at Ai, whose head was resting on her chest. “Mmm.” she mumbled in her sleep. Risa looked up toward the ceiling. “Hey…Ai-chan?” Risa whispered. “Hmm?” Ai replied, looking up at Risa. “I have to go.” “For what?” Ai asked, curious. “Work.” Risa replied, grabbing her coat. Ai looked after her. She knew something was suspicious.

Eri woke up later that morning, at about 5 AM when she saw Reina right on top of her. Eri turned the light on. “Reina, what is it?” Eri giggled. “Your eyes are sparkling Eririn.” Reina whispered. Eri was shocked. This wasn’t Reina at all, but Eri liked it. “Yours are sparkling too.” “Eri…” Reina kissed Eri for a very long time that early morning.

Yossie woke up early. It was strange how things like this would happen, her thinking about Makoto. She kissed Rika on the cheek before she went to get some cereal. The phone rang, which made Yossie drop the cereal box. ‘Thank god it was closed’. she thought. “Now where’s that phone?” Yossie asked herself, putting the cereal box on the counter. “Aha!” Yossie grabbed the phone and she answered it. “Hello?” “Hey Yossie.” said a familiar voice. “Mako-chan?” Yossie replied, shocked.

Flashback: 1 year ago

It has been 2 months since Makoto left Japan. Yossie was lonely, and she was paying less attention on her work. “Yossie,” Rika touched Yossie’s shoulder. “You should really get over Makoto.” “I can’t help that.” Yossie replied, giving Rika a cold stare. “Yes you can.” Rika replied in her usual soft voice. “No I-“ Yossie was interrupted with a kiss. “I hate to see you like this Yossie,” Rika replied. “I want to help you through this.” ‘I don’t know about this’. Yossie thought. “Okay.” Yossie said, smiling a little.

Chapter Three“Do you know how gorgeous you look, Risa?” Ai put her arms around Risa’s waist. “Very gorgeous, just like you.” Risa replied, kissing Ai. The two lie in the bed together, cuddling. “You know, Ai…” “What?” Ai asked, looking into Risa’s eyes. “You look so beautiful right now.”Risa kissed Ai again. Ai giggled, and the rest…was the rest.

“I’m leaving Eri.” Reina called from the hallway. Eri was already dressed and she was reading a novel. “Okay.” Eri called back, marking where she left off, put the book down, and she walked to the door, unlocking it. “5…4…3…2…1.” Eri counted. “Goodbye Eri! Love you!” Reina kissed her on the lips and she left. Eri locked the door. ‘Reina, you turn me on when you say that’. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

“Uh…Yossie?” Rika asked, waving a banana in front of Yossie’s face. “…Oh, yes Rika?” “You’ve been acting weird lately.” Rika looked at Yossie with concern. “Don’t say that.” Yossie kissed Rika on the lips. ‘I love Rika, but I still have feelings for Makoto.’ Yossie thought. “Yossie, you’re my everything…” ‘Where did I hear this before? Oh…’ Yossie thought.

Yossie stared at Makoto, who was talking with some newcomers in Morning Musume. She was laughing and she looked like she was having fun. “How am I going to tell her I love her?” Yossie asked herself. ‘I’m just going to wait until they’re gone.’ Yossie nodded. “Goodbye Mako-chan.” said the last girl as she left. “Bye Bye.” Makoto waved. “Okay, you can come out now Yossie.” Makoto called, her echo ringing. Yossie came to Makoto. “Um…Mako-chan…I want to say that-“ Yossie was interrupted by a kiss from Makoto. “Yossie,” Makoto whispered in Yossie’s ear. “You're my everything."

Chapter Two“Eri, where are you taking me?” Reina asked, blindfolded. “You’ll see.” Eri said in a squeaky voice, pulling Reina. Reina wanted to know what was going on with Eri because she seemed so excited. “Ready?” Eri asked. “Yep.” Reina replied, squeezing Eri’s hand. “Ta-da!” There was a dinner for the two of them with sushi rolls and chopsticks. “Eri, I love you!” Reina kissed Eri. “I love you too Reina.” Eri kissed her back. ‘My first love’. Eri thought.

“Yossie, I’m home.” Rika burst open the door and locked it. “I’m so glad you’re here,” Yossie walked up to Rika. “So, how was your day-“Shhh…” Rika put her finger on Yossie’s lips. Yossie was silent. “You look so cute when you’re silent.” She said. ‘Oh.crap.’ Yossie thought. “I love you Yossie.” Rika said. “I love you too.” Yossie replied. ‘Why do I feel so guilty?’ Yossie thought.

Flashback: 2 years ago

Yossie saw Makoto looking over a script. “Guess what I got you?” Yossie asked Makoto, hiding a little box behind her back. “What?” Makoto asked, looking up. “This.” Yossie gave the little black box to Makoto. She opened it. “A ring?” Makoto replied, shocked. “Yep.” Yossie smiled. “Thank you,” Makoto kissed Yossie. “This made my day.” “Put it on!” Yossie sat next to Makoto. Makoto put it on. “I love it!” “I love you.” Yossie kissed Makoto. Makoto smiled.

Rika was making breakfast when Yossie entered the kitchen tiredly. Yossie was half asleep, one eye closed and the other open. ‘She looks adorable when she’s tired.’ Rika thought, giggling. Yossie was fully awake when she heard Rika giggle. “Hey Rika-chan,” Yossie let out a yawn. “What’s for breakfast?” “Scrambled eggs.” Rika replied. “That will help.” Yossie smiled. ‘Makoto usually made pancakes’. Yossie thought. “I love your smile Yossie,” Rika giggled. “It makes my day.” “I love your smile too.” Yossie said. ‘But I love Makoto’s smile even more.’ She thought. She shook her head. ‘No! You like Rika, not Makoto.’ “Here you go Yossie.” Rika gave Yossie her food. “Thank you Rika-chan.” Yossie kissed Rika on the cheek. “I have to go to a meeting,” Rika hurriedly put on her jacket. “I’ll see you tonight.” “Okay,” Yossie replied. “Bye.” Yossie ate her meal, and she went to go get dressed. She didn’t have anything important to do for the day, so she went to her room. She came across a picture of her and Makoto. “We looked so beautiful together.” She said out loud. ‘Where did the good times end?’

Flashback: 1 year ago

Makoto’s eyes were filled with tears. Her hands were shaking, she walked with her head down. ‘How am I going to tell Yossie this?’ She thought, biting her lip. “Ow!” Makoto bumped into someone. She looked up to say she apologized, but she stared at the person. “….Yossie, I’m sorry.” Makoto said, crying. “Wait, what’s wrong?”Yossie asked. “I’m…I’m…going to study in America.” Makoto confessed. There was silence between the two. Makoto looked up at Yossie, who was about to cry. “How long?” Yossie finally asked. “Four years.” Makoto replied. “I…I don’t know what to say right now.” Yossie hugged Makoto tightly. “I’m going to miss you Yossie.” “I’m going to miss you too.” Yossie replied. “Ogawa-san, are you coming?” a voice rang. “Yes.” Makoto replied. “I love you Yossie.” “I love you too Mako-chan.” Yossie murumered, kissing Makoto. She went to the limo and left for the airport, leaving Yossie heartbroken.

"We need to go over to the ramen shop." Ai suggested, closing her phone. Makoto, Risa, and Konno nodded, waiting for her father's answer. Ai looked inside the shop, seeing a huge crowd of people waiting for their food. 'As usual.' Ai sighed, turning around and seeing the impatient look on the girl's faces.

"Come on, let's go." Risa held Ai's hand, while Makoto's arm was around Konno's shoulder. Akihito perked up when he saw Ai, and ran over to her.

"Hey Ai-chan."Ai could tell that he was breathing hard and blushing.

"HeEEEEEEEEY!!" Ai screamed due to Risa squeezing her hand.

"Oh, do you need me to get your father?" Akihito asked.

"Yes." Risa replied, giving Akihito a glare.

"Okay, I'll be right back." Akihito went into the kitchen. The girls waited for what seemed to be four minutes when Ai's father walked out with Akihito.

"Hello girls," Ai's father greeted, bowing in front of them. "Hello Risa."

"Hello Takahashi-san." The three girls bowed in reply.

"So, what is it you wanted to tell me Ai-chan?"

"Can Mako-chan, Konkon, and Risa come over to our house?"

"Yes sure," Ai's father replied.

"I have to go, but I will see you girls in the morning."

"Bye Takahashi-san." The girls waved, and left the ramen shop.

"Your father is really nice Ai-chan." Konno complimented.

"FINALLY he says yes." Makoto spoke. Ai knew she was losing her patience.

"I'M GOING TO KILL AKIWHAT'SHISNAME!!!" Risa shouted, squeezing Ai's hand tighter. 'That girl can squeeze.' "It's...Akihito..Risa...OW!!!" Ai tried to break free of Risa's grasp, but it was too late.

"I guess we're here." Makoto pointed to the Takahashi residence.

"We are." Ai took out her key and unlocked the door.

"Oh wow Ai..." Konno was speechless.

Makoto finished her sentence, "Your house is so cool!"

"Thanks you too." Ai replied, smiling.

"I'm going to your room." Risa took Ai's hand as the two girls went upstairs.

"I want to come too!" Makoto & Konno shouted. Ai and Risa looked at the two girls. "No." they said and they opened Ai's bedroom door.

Rika was panicking. It was obvious, because Yossie was right next to her, holding her hand as the two walked to Rika’s apartment. ‘Be calm Rika, be calm.’ She thought, shivering.

Yossie noticed and took of her coat and put it around Rika’s shoulders. “You’re going to be okay Rika.” Yossie whispered. Rika couldn’t think of anything to say, her posture frozen.

“Yossie?”

“Yes?”
“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome Rika-chan.” Yossie hugged Rika, the two girls blushing.

“I like you Yossie.” Rika let all the words come out of her mouth. Although she just met Yossie a few hours ago, she could never take her eyes off of her. Rika hoped for a reply from Yossie, but there was just silence.

“Yossie?” Rika broke away from the hug, looking at Yossie with a concerned face.

“Can I try this Rika-chan?” Yossie asked, walking closer to Rika. ‘…What should I say?’

“Erm…yes…?” Rika replied.

“Good.” Yossie’s soft lips met with Rika’s. They kissed for about two minutes until Yossie stopped the kiss.

“I like you too Rika.” Yossie replied, taking Rika’s hand and started walking.

“Why are you walking me to my apartment?” Rika asked, a little shocked by the kiss.

“I live in your apartment complex.” Yossie gave Rika a strange look. ‘Duh.’ Rika smacked her forehead.

“Stop that,” Yossie pulled Rika closer. “I don’t want you to get hurt.” Yossie kissed Rika’s forehead.

“Gomen.” Rika blushed, not knowing what else to say.

“It’s getting late,” Yossie looked around. “Let’s hurry.”

And the two girls got to their apartments in five minutes.

Natsumi put down her phone on her dresser as she walked over to her bed. She sat on her big, fluffy, bed, thinking about what she had just done. She heard a knock on her bedroom door.

"Come in." Natsumi whispered softly.

"Hey, I just made some cookies and-" the woman opened the door and went inside the bedroom. "Something wrong?"

"I broke up with Maki Kaorin." Natsumi sighed, sitting up and taking a cookie.

"I told you that girl's a player." Kaori munched on a cookie, a smile forming on her lips.

"You're always right Kaorin."

"Of course I am Nacchi," Kaori gave Natsumi a soft smile. "I'm always going to be here for you." 'What did that mean?' Natsumi thought, her cheeks turning pink. Kaori winked at Natsumi and left the room, leaving Natsumi a little suspicious. But she did feel heartbroken over Maki.

Although the two girls usually fought a lot, they had some fun times too. Those days were over when Yaguchi Mari came along. Maki has been staring at her and denying it for the past few months. Natsumi finally went to the kitchen to go get Kaori's cookies. 'God they are so delicious!' she thought.

"Ah, hello Natsumi," Kaori was watching TV on the couch in the living room. "Hello Kaorin." Natsumi grabbed a plate of cookies and sat next to Kaori, her cheeks a little pink.

"Anything you want to talk about?" Kaori asked, putting her arm around Natsumi's shoulders.

"Why are you acting so weird right now?" Natsumi felt a little uncomfortable. Kaori fell silent. Natsumi was confused.

"Are you going to answer?"

"Nacchi..."

"What? You can tell me."

"You deserve to break up with Maki."

"You already said that." Natsumi was a little angry.

"But.."

"But what?"

"I like you Nacchi." Kaori said, taking Natsumi's hands. Natsumi couldn't believe what was going on. Her cheeks were red and she felt like screaming. But she didn't know what to do.

"Kaorin," Natsumi let go of Kaori's hands. "I need to think this through." Natsumi went to her room and closed the door behind her.

Maki Goto went to the shoe store where Mari works after school, hoping to see her cheerful face and her tiny structure.

"Hello, may I help you?" Mari turned around and saw Maki. "Oh, hey Maki. Something wrong?"

Maki leaned over the counter, her head in her hands. "It's Natsumi Mari." she replied, her voice muffled.

"Is she jealous yet again?" Mari took Maki over to the bench and sat her down, her arm around Maki's waist. Maki chuckled, her cheeks turning a faint pink before replying.

"Yes."

"How many times has she stared assuming things?"

"A billion times," Maki shook her head. "She's annoying me Mari."

"Give her some time," Mari patted Maki's back. "She will eventually come to her senses."

"Eventually? Please," Maki rolled her eyes. "I might as well just break up with her." Mari didn't say anything. She was stiff, and frozen.

"Marippe?" Maki looked at her, a little bit concerned. Mari's eyes twinkled.

"Please break up with her."

Mari took Maki's hand and gazed into her eyes. Maki, still confused, was wondering why Mari was acting...differently.

"But Mari-" Maki was interrupted by a kiss from Mari. It only lasted five seconds, leaving Mari shocked, and Maki about to pass out.

"I'm...I'm...sorry." The shorter girl's cheeks were crimson. 'I like it when she blushes.' Maki thought, blushing herself. "What about Nacchi?" Mari was freaking out. "I'm so sorry I kissed you."

"Ah, don't worry about it." Maki replied. "I liked it." Thank god nobody was even in the store, since it was closing. Her cellphone rang. It was Natsumi.

"Hold on just a minute Mari." Maki walked out of the store and answered,

"Moshi Moshi?"

"Hey Maki..."

"Nacchi? Something wrong?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"It's over."

"Eh?"

"Yes Maki. You and me. Done."

"Oh, okay then," Maki understood what Natsumi meant.

"I hope we can be friends."

"Sure."

"All right then. I'll see you at school."

"Bye." Maki walked inside the store, a worried look on Mari's face.

"What happened?" she asked.

"She broke up with me." Maki sighed, fiddiling with her keychain.

"Maki..."

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to come over my place tonight?"

"Of course," Maki replied. "I need to stay away from my place." Mari laughed.

"You go wait outside. I have to close the store."

"Okay." Maki stood outside the store and sat on a bench while Mari closed the store.

"Let's go." Mari held out her hand. Maki took it and kissed her on the cheek. They both giggled and talked until they got to the Yaguchi household.

Saturday morning. The sun's rays crept through the window, bringing in very bright light. JunJun woke up, her vision blurry. She knew that ShenShen's party was a sleepover, but she forgot her pajamas. She looked up at the ceiling until she was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Li Chun." JunJun looked to her left, seeing a smiling LinLin. JunJun could tell that she was half asleep.

"Qian Lin." JunJun replied, kissing LinLin on the lips. LinLin giggled softly, holding JunJun's hand.

"Forgot your pajamas?" she asked, slowing getting up. JunJun nodded in reply. 'I can't believe I forgot.' JunJun thought, smoothing her hair. The two girls walked into the kitchen. ShenShen was already there, making breakfast.

"Hey you two!" ShenShen greeted, her voice squeaky.

"Hi ShenShen." JunJun and LinLin greeted.

"Do you guys want breakfast?" ShenShen held out two plates of pancakes.

"No thank you," JunJun replied. "I need to go home and shower."

"Can't you stay Jun?" LinLin held JunJun's hand and gave her a puppy look. Normally JunJun would just simply say "no" and walk away, but LinLin's look was so cute. After all, JunJun does love her.

"Okay." JunJun gave in and took the plate of pancakes and sat down at a table.By this time, no other kids woke up, so JunJun, ShenShen, and LinLin were the only ones in the kitchen.

"You look funny when you're asleep Li Chun." LinLin blushed.

"So do you." JunJun burst out into laughter. The two girls talked for a while and JunJun and LinLin finished their plates. Almost everyone was eating their breakfast when LinLin & JunJun were finsished.

"I think you have to go," LinLin took up JunJun's plate. "Are you sure you want me to leave you here Qian Lin?" JunJun asked when LinLin sat back down in her seat.

"I'm sure." LinLin nodded.

"Okay then," JunJun quickly took out a piece of paper and wrote down her phone number. "If you need anything, just call." She gave the number to LinLin.

"Alright." LinLin wrote down her number on a piece of paper and gave it to JunJun.

"Bye Qian Lin. Love you." JunJun waved.

"Bye Li Chun. Love you more." LinLin waved back. JunJun blushed and walked to her apartment.

"Blue for me!" Reina requested as she waited for her cotton candy.

"Yellow for me!" Eri requested right after Reina.

"Pinku for me!" Sayumi requested.

"Coming right up girls." the cotton candy man made Reina's cotton candy. As the girls waited, Reina looked over at Eri, her cheeks turning red.

"You look cute when your cheeks are red Neko." Eri kissed Reina's cheek. Reina's cheeks were crimson. She chuckled.

"You look cute too Turtle." Reina kissed Eri back, this time on the lips.

"Hello?!?" a voice broke the kiss.

"Oh, sorry Sayumi." the girls went to get their cotton candy.

"Thank you." Sayumi took her pink cotton candy from the man.

"You're welcome. Have a good evening girls." The man said. The girls went to go sit down at a table, the mall being a little bit more crowded. While the girls went to go to the table, they heard a shout.

"I LIKE YOU MITSUI AIKA." 'Is that Koharu? Does she like Aika?' Reina thought. 'At least I have Eri.' Reina held Eri's hand.

"Koharu asked me for some advice." Sayumi shrugged her shoulders.

"You give great advice Sayu." Reina patted Sayumi's shoulder.

"Usa-chan peace!" The girls sat down at their table.

"So, what is everyone doing Sunday?" Sayumi immediately asked, grinning.

"I don't know." Reina and Eri's voices were in a monotone.

"You guys are no fun." Sayumi laughed.

Reina's cellphone rang. "Moshi Moshi?" Reina answered, realizing that the caller was her mother. "Reina, please come home. You can talk with Eri and Sayumi later." her mother answered and she hung up before Reina could get a response.

"I have to go you guys. Bye." Reina left the two girls and ran home.

After Sayumi left Eri and Reina alone for a while, Sayumi went to her favorite accessory store and noticed Koharu.

"Hey Koha-Pinku." Sayumi waved to her friend.

"Oh, hey Sayu-Pinku." Koharu replied, her eyes still guled to the earrings rack.

"Thinking about someone?" Sayumi asked, telling that Koharu was obviously thinking about something.

"Mitsui Aika." Koharu replied. 'Oh, Mittsi. The girl who is very talkative.' Sayumi remembered the girl.

"You like her?" Sayumi found a pair of star earrings and tried them on.

"Yes." Koharu murumered.

"Oh, well tell her how you feel," Sayumi gave Koharu advice. "She might feel the same way."

"Okay, thank you." Koharu went to another accessory store before Sayumi could say "Thank you". Sayumi looked at some more things in the store. They had some animal earrings, like a dog, cat, a turtle, and......

A bunny.

"ERI-CHAN! REINA-CHAN!" Sayumi sprinted towards the bench, finding the two girls talking.

"Hey you guys! Let's go! There are some cute earrings that you guys must see!" Sayumi shouted, her voice echoing in the nearly quiet mall.

"Okay." The two girls replied.

Sayumi heard Eri whisper something to Reina, and the two girls giggled and held hands. 'Reina probably told Eri that she likes her.' Sayumi thought, going into the store.

"Come on!" Sayumi motioned them to come over to the earrings section. Both girls stared in silence.

"Turtle earrings!" Eri exclaimed, picking up the earrings and going to the counter.

"Cat earrings." Reina also picked up the earrings and went to the counter.

Sayumi picked up the bunny earrings and stood behind Reina in line.The three girls bought the earrings.

"I'm hungry." Eri said. "Cotton candy?" Sayumi asked, pointing to a cotton candy stand. "Heck yeah!" The three went over to the stand and got their cotton candy.

When Eri, Sayumi, and Reina stepped inside the mall, Sayumi immediately made a run for her favorite accessory store.

"Hey Reina, do you want to go to the hat shack?" Eri asked, pointing to the store across from where the two were standing.

"Sure!" Reina replied, walking with Eri to the store.

The two were just about to walk into the store until two women were fighting up front.

"Listen Natsumi, I wasn't looking at Mari!" The tall woman with brownish hair argued. The shorter woman, or Natsumi, just shook her head.

"Yes you were, quit lying to me Maki." Natsumi replied in what was almost a whisper, and she went the direction where Eri and Reina were, bumping into Eri by accident. 'The woman didn't even bother to apolgize.' Eri thought.

Eri and Reina walked into the store and tried on random hats.

"I like this one." Reina picked out a purple visor that had a cat on it.

"Neko, Neko." Eri poked Reina's cheek. Reina giggled and blushed.

"Turtle, Turtle." Reina poked Eri's cheek. 'She's so funny when she's not lonely and cold. And she's so...cute.' Eri grinned at the thought and gazed into Reina's eyes.

"Um...Eri? Eri? Turtle?" Reina snapped her fingers. After a few seconds, Eri finally came to her senses.

"Oh! I'm going to try to find a hat with a turtle on it." Eri went to a different rack of hats. There were none, so she went back to Reina, who was paying for the hat.

"You're actually buying it?" Eri asked when she got up to the counter.

"Of course I would buy it." Reina replied, waiting for her cash. 'Same old Reina: cute, funny, and hilarious.' Eri smiled.

"I have something to tell you Eri." Reina said, taking Eri to a bench.

"What is it?" Eri asked, hoping that Reina would tell her anything.

"Um...." Reina fiddled with her thumbs. "I think I'm in love with you Eri." Eri's eyes grew big and wide. She was so shocked. But Eri couldn't reply because...

"Hey you guys! Let's go! There are some cute earrings that you guys must see!" Sayumi shouted, her voice echoing in the nearly quiet mall. Reina and Eri looked at each other and nodded, following Sayumi. But when the two got up, Eri replied,

"I love you too Reina."

"Let's go in here." Ai pointed to a curry resturant. Risa, Makoto, and Konno nodded, and they went inside. The four girls found a table and sat down in their seats.

"So, what do you think about the new girl, Yossie?" Makoto brought up, taking Konno's hand.

"You really don't let go do you?" Konno joked.

"Nope." Makoto replied, grinning.

"Uh...Yossie...I know she's Miki's new groping target." Ai replied to Makoto's question.

"She might be starting a new relationship with Ishikawa Rika-chan." Konno stated confidentally.

"USO!!!!!!!!!!" Risa exclaimed. The entire resturant was silent and glaring at the four girls.

Makoto glared back, while Konno was looking down. Risa blushed, while Ai put her arm around Risa's shoulders. They eventually started talking when the waiter asked for their drinks.

"Coca-Cola." The four girls said at the same time. Makoto started laughing, then Konno.

"It's true," Makoto went back to the subject. "Yossie did kiss Rika's hand."

"Already?" Ai was shocked. "Dang, that girl must be smooth."

"She did recieve a lot of love letters, most of them were from Miki." Risa rolled her eyes.

"Here you go, four Coca-Colas." The waiter came back from the noisy kitchen and gave the girls their drinks.

"Thank you." The four girls thanked the waiter.

"No problem, I'll get your curry ready." the waiter replied, walking back into the kitchen.

"Ai-chan," Makoto put down the beverage.

"Do you mind if Konno and I can stay over at your house?"

"Yeah me too?" Risa smirked.

"Let me see if I can ask my dad first, then you guys can stay."

"Okay." The three girls said. Makoto looked at Konno, who was smiling. 'She has such a beautiful smile.' she thought.

"Let's go ahead and eat, I think the ramen shop is closing." Ai said, quickly eating her curry.

Makoto nodded. She knew on Fridays Ai's father would not come home after a while when he closes his shop. It has happened numerous times before. 'I hope he says yes.' Makoto thought, eating her curry before leaving the resturant.

Konno was the only student taking notes and paying attention, while the others students were too busy writing notes or sleeping, even though it was only 3 something. However, Konno wanted to do the same thing, but she needed to work on her studies first.

She looked over at Makoto, who was knocked out. She didn't move at all. 'She looks peaceful while she's sleeping.' Konno thought, her face feeling hot.

"I know you're looking at me." Makoto whispered, slowly opening her eyes.

"Wakey wakey Mako-chan." Konno smiled.

"You know," Makoto grabbed Konno's hand. "I really like it when you smile. It makes me happy."

"Should we really be talking about this?" Konno whispered, realizing that they were in class.

"The bell's about to ring." Right after Makoto said that, the bell rang, and Konno went to her locker and packed her things.'What do I do? She grabbed my hand, told me she liked my smile.....oh god.' Konno couldn't believe it. She blushed deeply.

"What are you thinking about?" Makoto slammed Konno's locker. "Looks like you packed everything."

"You." Konno's entire body froze.

"Me?" Makoto grabbed Konno's hand.

"What about me?"

"You're holding my hand." Konno replied.

"And?" "Well..." "Well?" "I kind of..." "Kind of what?" "Like it."

Makoto chuckled. Konno stared at her blankly. 'What's so funny.'

"Oh Konno, do you know how long I've liked you?" Makoto finally asked. They were now walking home.

"How long?" Konno was curious to know, but Ai and Risa walked up to them.

"Hey you two!" Risa waved.

"Hey." Makoto and Konno said with a monotone.

"What's up with you guys?" Ai sounded a little concerned, but got over it.

"Anyway, do you two want to go eat with us?"

"We're just wondering because it can be like a double date!" Risa blurted out.

"But I haven't even told her that I love her yet!" Konno blurted.

"Konno..." Makoto looked at Konno, whose face was now crimson. "You love me?"

"Yes." Konno nodded.

"USO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Risa shouted, very shocked.

"So, are you coming with us or not?" Ai asked, not suprised by this. Konno could tell.

"Are we coming? Of course we are!" Makoto kissed Konno on the cheek, which made the both of them blush. Ai and Risa laughed.

"Awww, you guys are so adorable together."

"Thanks." Konno and Makoto said at the same time.

"MaKonno." Ai whispered loudly for Konno & Makoto to hear.

"Shut up!" The two said at the same and the four girls went to find a resturant.

Class was fun today for Yossie. Some people talked to her, got to know her, and she even recieved love letters! ....Okay, that was weird, but Yossie was fine with it.

The bell rang, and two very weird girls introduced themselves.

"I'm Konno Asami." The girl with the long, red hair bowed.

"And I'm Ogawa Makoto." The girl with the short hair shook Yossie's hand.

"Nice to meet you." Yossie replied, bowing but she quickly yelped and grabbed her butt. She turned around to see a girl giggling. "You're Fujimoto aren't you?" Yossie glared.

"Yeah, I just felt like groping you. Bye!" Miki walked off with some girl.

Yossie's eyes went big at the word "grope". 'Man, that Risa girl wasn't kidding when she said that I was her next groping victim.' she thought.

"I'm sorry Yossie." Makoto and Konno patted Yossie's shoulders.

"Ah, it's okay," Yossie replied. "I can get over it."

"Hey Yossie," A short girl walked beside her. "I'm-"

"Ishikawa Rika, ne? Very nice to meet you." Yossie grabbed Rika's hand and kissed it. Rika blushed, while Makoto & Konno's mouths were open.

"OMG YOSSIE YOU'RE A GENTLEMAN!" Makoto shouted, her voice echoing in the hallway.

Silence.

"....I'll take care of her." Konno and Makoto went to their next class. Yossie was just about to say something when the tardy bell rang.

"What class do you have next?" Rika asked.

"Um..." Yossie unfolded the crumpled paper. "I have science."

"Great! I have that class too." Rika's eyes were sparkling.

"Alright, let's walk there." Yossie took Rika's hand and they went to their science class.

Risa went to her locker to unpack her things. She obviously knew today was going to be a boring day, but at least Ai was with her.

"Hey Risa," Konno whispered in a quiet voice. "Can I ask you something?"

"Um, sure Konkon." Risa shut her locker and locked it.

"I really like someone." Konno's hand started shaking.

"It's Mako-chan, isn't it?" Risa smirked. She knew it was obvious.

"....Yeah." Konno blushed, her cheeks red.

"Just tell her how you feel, it will work out fine. Believe me." Risa put her hand on Konno's shoulder.

"Hai," Konno nodded. "Thanks for helping me out Gaki-san."

"You're welcome Konkon." Risa smiled, happy that she gave advice to her best friend.

"Let's go, I want to see Mako-chan." Konno said as the tardy bell rang. They got to homeroom just in time.

"Alright minna, we have a new student today, will you please come up here?" The tall, boyish student went to the front of the class. Most girls started blushing.

"Class, this is Yoshizawa Hitomi. She recently made the futsal team." The teacher introduced the new student.

"Nice to meet you." Hitomi bowed. "But please call me Yossie."

"Hi Yossie!" Kago Ai & Tsuji Nozomi, the funny couple, shouted.

"Hi Yossie!" Everyone in the class said afterwards. Risa looked over at Fujimoto Miki, who was smirking. 'Oh god, a new groping target.' Risa thought. She looked over at Ishikawa Rika, who was immediately head-over-heels for Yossie.

"She's handsome," Risa heard Makoto whisper. "But I like Konno better." Risa's eyes went big. Makoto went back to talking to Konno about Yossie.

"What do you think about her Ai?" Risa asked the quiet girl.

"Very boyish, but she seems like a nice girl." Ai replied, observant.

"Looks like she's Miki's next target." The two girls laughed.

"Oh man, poor Yossie." Ai said between giggles.

"Now, let's get back to doing equations." The teacher wrote a math equation on the board as everyone groaned. 'This is going to be a long day.' Risa sighed as she took notes.

"It's still wet outside?" Ai asked herself, sitting up in her bed and looking out the window. She looked at her alarm clock. 7:25. 'Okay, I have enough time to see Risa.' Ai flopped back in her bed, tossing and turning.'Let me get dressed first.'

Ai zoomed out of her bed and headed towards the bathroom. She got dressed in her dull, boring, uniform and went downstairs to get some cereal.

There was a knock on the door.

"It's Risa!"

Ai quickly unlocked the door and opened it. "Hey Risa."

"Hey Ai, can I come in?"

"Ano...sure!" Ai was completely lost in thought. The two girls sat down in front of the big screen TV, watching anime, well Risa was watching anime, but Ai couldn't stop looking at her.

"Risa, did you dye your hair?" Ai finally had the guts to ask.

"Oh yes, brown." Risa replied.

"Hmm..." Ai ran her fingers through Risa's hair. "I like it." "Thank you."

Risa looked at her watch. "It's 8:30, let's go." Ai put her bowl (which was now empty) in the dishwasher, and walked hand-in-hand with Risa to school.

"Hey you two!" Konno Asami and Ogawa Makoto jumped from the bushes.

"You two can't scare me." Ai looked at the two girls with cold eyes.

"They scared me." Risa wrapped her arms around Ai's waist, shaking in fear.

"Sorry Ga-." Konno stopped and stared.

"Oh my god, Gaki you dyed your hair!" Makoto jumped up and down.

"Finally, she gets rid of the cursed black." Konno whispered, but Risa started freaking out.

"My hair is cursed?!" Ai was frozen.

"No Risa, they're just being silly. After all it is MaKonno after all."

"MaKonno?" Risa's head titled to the side.

"It's a new nickname I came up for those two." Ai, Risa, Makoto, and Konno reached the school.

"Aww man, we're already at school." Makoto pouted and folded her arms.

"I can pout better than you!" Konno pouted and folded her arms also.

"Let's go." Ai whispered to Risa, and they went inside the building to go to their homeroom.

LinLin stepped out of the taxi as she reached ShenShen's apartment.

'She's the student from Taiwan, ne?' She looked at the map. "Yep." she replied, her breath visible in the night.

"Yep what?" Arms wrapped around LinLin's waist.

"Back off!" LinLin tried to break free of the person's grasp.

"Relax, it's me, JunJun." JunJun whispered in LinLin's ear. 'Wait a minute, she looks at me crazy, and the next thing I know she's attached to me.' LinLin thought.

"You like me don't you?" LinLin whispered with a smirk, hoping to get a reply.

"Uh..yes?" JunJun replied with a tiny voice.

"Haha." LinLin laughed. 'God, I like her.' the short Chinese girl thought.

"Hi you...two?" ShenShen opened the door. "Is there something..."

"No." JunJun and LinLin said at the same time, LinLin could feel JunJun's arms unwrapping from her waist.

"It was a surprise attack." LinLin quickly came up with a lie, well, kind of.

"...Well come on in!" ShenShen walked to her apartment, room 567.

"Okay!" LinLin went back to her bubbly self. ShenShen opened the door, and it didn't look bad. Actually, it kind of seemed...nice for a party. No alcohol.

"Do you want to sit down LinLin?" JunJun pulled up a chair.

"Sure," LinLin replied, sitting down in the chair. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." JunJun blushed, looking up at the ceiling.

"Do you need me to get anything?" ShenShen asked.

"Um...two Coca Colas please." LinLin held up two fingers.

"Okay, I'll be right back." ShenShen searched in her refridgerator to find one. While ShenShen was searching, LinLin and JunJun were quiet for a while.

"You look great today, a little calm." JunJun ran a hand through LinLin's silky, brown hair.

"Thank you." LinLin could only say that. 'I need to stop.'

"Here you go." ShenShen gave the girls their sodas, and went to go talk to Youko. The girls didn't even get a chance to thank ShenShen.

"I am a little calm today, which is not like me at all." LinLin said out loud.

"I like it when you're calm, I liked it when you were hyper." JunJun laughed. "And I just met you."

"I guess you have a strong like for me." LinLin smirked, her eyes sparkling.

"Maybe...I...do." JunJun replied, her face close to LinLin's. LinLin felt her heartbeat go faster.

"I...love you JunJun. Ever since the last couple of weeks." And they kissed.

Ah, it's still wet." JunJun murmured to herself, wet grass getting on her boots. The tall Chinese girl shrugged her shoulders and kept walking. She was too busy studying her Japanese.

"I need some coffee." JunJun said to herself, closing the Japanese dictionary.

"Then I can come with you." A short Chinese girl spoke, opening the door.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" JunJun's head titled to the side. She looked puzzled.

"No, silly." The girl spoke in Japanese. JunJun knew what was going on.

"Okay." JunJun entered the cafe, still puzzled. All she wanted was coffee, and she encounters a weird girl.

"My name is LinLin." The girl shook JunJun's hand.

"JunJun," JunJun replied. "But my real name is Li Chun."

"You're the taller exchange student!" LinLin pointed.

"My real name is Qian Lin. People at school say you're tall."

"That's true." JunJun blushed a little. That girl was embarrasing the crap out of her.

"Um...did you have too much...sugar or something?" JunJun asked bravely.

"No," LinLin replied. "I just need coffee, something to...keep me up, you know?"

"Why?" The taller Chinese girl was a little curious.

"Don't you know that the exchange students are throwing a party tonight?" The younger girl's eyes were sparkling. JunJun had no idea why she was enjoying her conversation with LinLin.

"It's Friday already?" JunJun was a little shocked.

"Yep." LinLin replied, nodding.

"Oh man, I didn't even pick out an outfit!" JunJun banged her head on the table. She rubbed her head.

"Li Chun! Are you okay?" LinLin asked her in Chinese.

"Hai." JunJun replied in Japanese. "Clumsy Li Chun." LinLin started laughing. JunJun blushed.

"Funny Qian Lin." JunJun chuckled.

"Do you mind if you will come to the party with me JunJun? As friends?" JunJun could tell LinLin blurted that out.

"Uh...yeah sure." JunJun replied, nodding.

"Okay, good." LinLin got up from her seat and left.

'There's something suspicious about that girl.' JunJun thought. A few minutes later, JunJun left the cafe. And then she realized.

She didn't get her coffee.
