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.
"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?"

Tear Drops (SNSD Fanfic Chapter One: Misery)
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.

Oyasumi #20
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.
"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?

Oyasumi #19
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.
Her name was Ishimura Maiha.

Akai (Chapter Four: Crimson)
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?
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."

Oyasumi #18
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....
Tick...tock..
Tick...tock...
