When Love Hurts
A new start
Yoshizawa was trying to breathe normally but her heart beat faster within every second. She was used to the big stage, the shouts from the crowd, the crazy fans.., but now the butterflies in her stomach were beginning to be more like elephants. Why she was so nervous this time?
She looked first at her right, then at her left and finally stuck her eyes in the ground and released a deep sigh.
I’m gonna kill Gocchin for this…
***
…
“Yocchan? Are you all right?
Fujimoto saw the shock on her girlfriend’s face after hearing Tsunku’s news and went towards her to check if she was ok, but when she arrive near Yossi, the taller made her to move back.
“You’re crazy!” shouted Momusu’s leader.
“Hey, I think it’s a great idea”
Gocchin’s comment made Yoshizawa turn to the soloist and send her a glare, but Maki remained calm, leant against Tsunku’s desk, with a smile that irritated Yossi.
“You expect me to be in a group with my girlfriend, my too ex-girlfriends and someone who probably hates me for stealing the love of her life…” she said turning to her boss again and with a more relaxed tone in her voice “There’s no way this works…”
“To be honest, it wasn’t going to be like this…” the man leant against his chair and look at the five girls in front of him “I wanted a solo, after all is your song, but Nakazawa-san suggested the unit as a way to rebuild the bonds of the family. I’m still not sure what she was talking about, though”
At this point, Hitomi banged the desk in rage again and scared the other girls.
“That’s another question” she said with her eyes glued to the wooden table trying to not exceed the limits with her boss “How the hell that song arrived to you?”
“I guess that’s my fault” answered Maki raising her hand before Tsunku could tell anything “You said it was trash so I took it, gave it to some people to make the arrangements and, someway, it ended upon Tsunku-san’s desk. Come on, that song deserves to be singed and you deserve to sing it”
Yossi seemed to give up finally and dropped on the chair behind her, defeated.
“Hey, let’s do it” said Miki sweetly and kneeling next to her girlfriend and taking her hand “I want to sing that song with you”
***
If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have the strength enough…
Yoshizawa felt a hand taking hers and, as a miracle, the insecurity disappeared. She looked at the smaller girl at her side and smiled.
It happened so much since that night, since you opened your heart to me and saved my life…
“These two are so cute~” commented Maki watching the scene.
“Look who’s talking. How’s Shiba-chan doing?” strike back Miki.
“That’s none of your business…”
“You know…” whispered Rika-chan “Ayumi told me…”
“Shut up!”
Maki’s shout made everybody laugh and the pressure for the performance seemed to evaporate. Even with their differences, the problems, the loves and hates, they still could have fun together.
“Girls” said Yocchan with solemnity as the leader that she was and taking all hands together “Let’s enjoy today, let’s make it a new start”

****************************
“Nono! Leave those sandwiches on the table again, now!”
The younger dropped the plate and ran to hide at the kitchen after hearing Gocchin’s shout, but even so, she manage to keep one of the sandwiches. Maki saw it and ran after her.
“You better call your friend, Aya” said Shiba-chan to the soloist and laughing at the view of Maki and Nono’s war for the food “If she’s not here soon Non-chan won’t leave anything to her”
“She should be here already. She doesn’t live so far away…” answered Matsuura taking her cell-phone.
Before she could press Miki’s number the door bell ringed.
“Go” said Shibata pointing to the door “I’ll try to make peace between those two or this will end being a bloody party”
Aya nodded and went to open the door. That party was supposed to be something to cheer up Miki after two weeks enclosed at home and in her work. She had refused a few times but, being Christmas and seeing the effort that Maki was doing, even offering her apartment for the party, she finally couldn’t say no. Of course, she wouldn’t be Miki if she wasn’t late.
“Well… come”
Everybody turned to look at the door where Aya was standing frozen. Even Nono, who had jumped victorious upon Gocchin’s back, drop the sandwich.
***
“You’re sure you don’t wanna come with us?”
“Thanks, Mama” answered Rika-chan with a charming smile “But I’m going to meet with Ayumi later. Enjoy the party, ok?”
“Ok. Good night my dear”
Ishikawa’s mom left her daughter’s room, closing the door behind her. Rika hated to lie to her mother but the last she wanted it was a party with unknown people. It’s true that Shiba-chan told her to go to the party at Maki’s home but how could she dare to go after all the troubles she caused? She didn’t even deserve Shibata’s friendship…
She went near the window and stared at the sky. It was cloudy. Maybe would rain.
I can’t be with you.
Even if it was all a lie, we hurt each other too much.
I loved you, Rika-chan, you can’t imagine how much, but without trust there’s no hope.
Maybe, someday, we’ll be able to forget.
“Forget…”
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door and made her return to reality. Her mother should have forgotten to say something.
“Sorry” said the girl standing in the doorway “Your mom told me to come upstairs”
“Yui?” it was the last person Ishikawa was expecting to see that night “What are you doing here?”
“I wanted to give you something”
The younger extended her arm and show a little box in her hand.
“It’s not a great thing, just a pair of earrings that I saw a few days ago. It’s just to make you know that you’re not alone and that everything will be ok” Yui smiled and took Rika’s hands on hers “People shouldn’t be alone on Christmas Eve”
***
“Where are you?”
“At the park. I’ll be there in ten minutes” answered Miki at her friend on the phone.
“Ok. Don’t worry. Take your time and enjoy the walk, we’ll be waiting”
Miki hanged up the phone and keep it in her bag again.
“Enjoy the walk?” she repeated with confusion “She’s already drunk or what?
She didn’t have intention of taking the way through the park to reach Maki’s place, but someway she ended there. It was darker and more peaceful than the road outside. There was just a few couples walking hand in hand, looking at each other with love.
The hand in her pocket touched a folded paper that was always with her. She took it and, even in the dark, she could see the worn-out edges. But as many times as she read it, there was always the same word in it.
“Wait…”
But for how long Yocchan?
Two weeks. Fourteen days. An eternity. The hours didn’t seem to pass when you’re waiting for the phone to ring or a knock at the door. When you can’t sleep and spend the nights talking with a dog that answer your questions with a damp lick.
You’ll come back, right? You can’t make me love you so much and then leave me alone again.
Suddenly a shiver travelled all around her body. It was getting colder and the sky it was very cloudy. She should hurry up to arrive to the party if she wasn’t to get wet
Then a little, white, spot fell on her shoulder and, after analysing it carefully, Fujimoto raised her head and look at the clouds.
It’s snowing?
She stayed there, unable to move, looking at the white rain falling slowly from the sky. A snowflake fell right under her left eye and the water running down her cheek make her shiver again. But she didn’t care. She closed her eyes and captured the sensation.
That’s how I feel since you’re not around. Frozen, as if nothing could warm my heart ‘till the day you’ll touch me again. At least, if I close my eyes, I still can feel your hands caressing my skin, like right now, as if you were wiping these cold tears. I even can smell the fragrance of your hair coming together with the wind and filling all my senses...
“Make a wish”
The voice it was so real that, for a moment, Miki thought that she had fallen asleep and, still with her eyes closed, she answered.
“To have you here”
This time, the hand caressing her cheek felt more real and it wasn’t cold anymore. And then, coming with a warming wave, there was a kiss. A kiss and a sweet smile that made the world shine again.
“Wish granted”
I know it now, Yocchan. I know the meaning of what people call great love. It’s not a fairy tail; it’s not about princes riding white horses or bewitched princesses waiting for a kiss to be free… Great love is that one that shakes your soul, the one that makes you smile even if you wanna cry, that changes the world around you…
That’s why, even if it hurts sometimes, I wanna love and be loved in return.
The end

When Love Hurts 59
*************************
I’d used to like to be alone. Then she came and made me hate my loneliness. I was nothing without her… How I could forget?
She didn’t know exactly what direction she should follow but, as if it was a miracle, the silhouette of the other girl appeared in front of her at the end of the corridor. As she did for the past ten minutes, Maki ran to catch her.
“Wait!” she shouted taking Shiba-chan from her wrist and making her to stop.
Ayumi stared at her, unable to believe that Gocchin had followed her after all that she said.
Then why I’m doing this? Why I’m keeping you by my side? I can’t give you what you want and yet…
“I can’t do this, not now, but…” Maki was doubtful, her eyes fixed to the ground until she began to raise her head to look at the other girl “…but.., stay with me, please”
For once, I’ll be selfish. For once, I’ll try to forget.
***
Tsunku almost jump in his chair with the office’s door suddenly opened and two girls rushed in. Sweaty from the running, almost breathless and desperate, Rika and Miki were moving their heads frantically looking for someone who should be in the room.
“She’s not here” said Tsunku returning her attention to the papers on the table.
Hearing that, Ishikawa smashed the table and demanded an answer.
“When?”
“Around thirty minutes ago” was Tsunku’s reply. He don’t even bother to raise his look “You’re not going to catch her”
“You shouldn’t let her go!”
Seeing that Ishikawa was loosing control, Miki take her by her shoulders and try to make her understand that she wasn’t going to get anything shouting at her boss. Fujimoto too, wanted to shout, cry and complain but she knew that Yossi wasn’t going to come back because of that.
“I haven’t let her go” answered their boss, this time leaving the papers and looking straight to the girls “I haven’t another option. Yoshizawa told me about all what happened. She understands that a leader has to have her mind clear and she was too much troubled lately to make the group work”
“But it wasn’t her fault” complaint again Rika-chan.
“I know. And you should be happy that Biyuuden is still alive”
“I don’t want Biyuuden if it means to lose her!”
This time the shout lost all its strength ‘cause the words chocked in her throat when she couldn’t restrain the tears. But Tsunku didn’t care about that and go back to his papers.
“You should leave now”
Miki didn’t say a word and tried to calm Ishikawa guiding her to the door. It’s true that she didn’t fight against Tsunku’s decision but, what she could do? If Yocchan has gone, Miki’s priority was to try to find her no matter what, and then she could worry about their boss and the group. Her heart was first.
“Fujimoto-san, could you stay a moment, please?”
Tsunku’s request took her by surprise. The last thing she wanted it was to be there talking while her girlfriend was who knows where. But, as much as she want to run, Miki obeyed and seated in the chair in front of her boss, letting Rika to leave the office alone.
“If it’s about the leader duties you don’t have to worry. I’ll take charge of all” she tried to go straight to the main point to finish as soon as possible.
“I know. But it’s not that what I wanna talk about” he said “Yoshizawa-san also told me about you”
“You mean… About us?”
“Yes and honestly, I can’t say that I’m happy about it” he sighed as if he had a great load upon her shoulders “God knows how many headaches Nakazawa and Yasuda gave me and your situation is even worst. But.., she sounded serious…”
Then he took something out of the drawer and gave it to Miki. It was a plain brown envelope with her name wrote it in. She wasn’t sure about what to do. If the content inside it was going to be a goodbye letter… then it was better to not open it. But, maybe, it was a message, a hint about where to find her…
She didn’t want to think too much about it and, breathing deeply, Miki took the envelope from Tsunku’s hand and opened it.
There wasn’t a letter, not even a sentence.
Just a single word.

****************************
“You’re kidding me…”
Eri crossed her arms and refused to believe what Gaki-san just said.
“I’m serious” answered Risa “People say that that’s why Nakazawa-san organized that reunion”
“And what happened with Miyo-chan?”
“Let fly your imagination, Sayu”
The three girls turned her heads slowly to look at the woman standing at the center of the room. She really looks serious, not angry but menacing, with her eyes fixed in the crow around her and paying attention to every conversation in the room. Conversations that were beginning to get her pissed of.
“Silence!”
The shout made all the murmurs disappear. Most of the girls held her breaths fearing to make any noise that could bother the eldest member.
“That’s better” said Yuko relaxing a little her face expression “Now that everybody’s here…”
“Leader isn’t here!” shouted Reina.
“Miyo-chan and the kids are missing too” pointed Eri who immediately regret what she had said and glued her eyes to the ground.
“They’re not coming” answered Nakazawa trying to remain calm “Yocchan and Miyoshi have some… things to attend. And for the kids.., they are out of the problem, at least for now”
Yuko waited a minute for any question that could interrupt her but seeing that nobody dared to open her mouth she smiled and began to talk again.
“Most of you must know about the little incident with Erika. This reunion is to prevent that something like that happens again. We are a big family, a family where everybody have to respect each other if we want to stay together and if, anybody, someway, dare to hurt that unity, I’ll take charge personally” Yuko made a pause and look at the girls around her and some of them looked away to avoid eye-contact “But…” she continued “There’s something that can destroy a family more than anything…” this time Yuko’s eyes where fixed in a single girl, the one with a pink sweater and the sad expression in her face “…a secret”
At that word, Ishikawa raised her head and her eyes met with Yuko’s.
“A secret is the most dangerous weapon in a war, and the last thing we need is a battle between members. So, here and now, I want to know everything. Who’s gonna start?”
The girls in the room looked at each other in silence, waiting for someone to be the first to say something but, as expected, nobody wanted to begin. The generalized though was like ‘that woman went totally crazy requesting something like that’. Of course, no one dare to say it out loud.
Seeing that nobody was going to start, Yuko sighed.
“Ok then. If it’s going to be easier.., I’ll make the questions and everybody’ll answer at the same time. This way nobody will feel embarrassed for being the first”
“Hey, obaachan had a nice idea!” joked Yasuda next to her.
“Honey.., shut up. Well, first question”
Nakazawa took some seconds to look at each girl and analyze their faces before speak again.
“How many of you had sex with another Hello! Project member?”
Everybody looked at everybody in shock. What kind of question was that? Even Kei, that knew her girlfriend very well, didn’t expect something so direct to start.
“Raise your fucking hands!” shouted Yuko impatiently.
“Ok, ok…” they heard a voice coming from one of the corners of the room. Then a sigh and a raised hand “Everybody knows me so, there’s no reason to hide it”
Seeing Maki raising her hand answering Nakazawa’s request, one by one, the rest of the girls raised their hands too. Yuko wasn’t surprised of many of them, but others were as shocking for her as for everybody.
“I don’t know… I feel like if I was left out of the party” said Nono, who was standing in a corner with another few girls that hadn’t raised their hands.
“I understand you” nodded Mari “You know there’s something going on but.., so many? I mean… Even Kaorin! She never told me!”
“Hey, at least you don’t have one of your best friends involved in a plot against another member…” sighed Yui looking down at the floor.
“Yeah, your right, that’s worst”
Yuko smiled satisfied, but she knew that the next step was going to be more difficult.
“Ok. That was easy. Now I need the same sincerity with the next question” she moved her eyes upon every girl’s face trying to read some of their thoughts before asking “How many of you are in love with another member?”
This time just a few hands remained raised and a lot of jaws dropped to the floor with the answer. Just a few people expected to see Gocchin’s hand raised, Miki’s and Rika’s answers weren’t a surprise at all, and for Ai-chan and Risa.., Gaki-san was the most surprised seeing the hand of her girlfriend raised.
“That’s… true?” she asked feeling how some tears were beginning to form in her eyes.
“Yeah. Why are you crying?
“Yo… you never told me…”
“Really?”
“I thought that you just… you know… wanted just…”
“Oh” usually Ai-chan had needed a clearer answer to understand what was happening but this time she realized immediately what the problem was and then her face changed from surprised to and affeccionate expression “You thought I was with you just because of the sex?” she smiled “You know there’s Goto-san for that, right?”
“That’s true!” shouted Maki from the other side of the room, getting with that a death glare from someone that was at her side with her hand still raised.
“Then, say it” continue Risa looking at her girlfriend “I need to hear it from you”
Ai-chan moved her head from one side to another looking at all the girls around, expecting an answer. Then she fixed her eyes on the younger, put her hands on Risa’s cheeks and wiping away the tears she made sure that every single word was clearly heard for everyone.
“I-love-you”
A lot of ‘aaaw’ and ‘how cute!’ filled the room. The two girls where staring at each other giggling and whispering words that just them could hear, and wasn’t paying attention at the people around.
“Nakazawa-san, can we skip to the next question?”
Yuko looked at the girl who had made the request and suddenly realized something.
“Shiba-chan…” said the older smiling “why do you have your hand raised?”
Obviously, nobody else in the room had seen that until Nakazawa said it. Then, all the girls turned to her and she felt the heat on her cheeks rising.
“Oi! You never told me!” exclaimed Maki standing at her side “Who is it?”
“Baaaka!”
“What have I done now?”
“You are so… so… stupid!”
Gocchin jumped back at Ayumi’s shout. The peaceful Shibata, the one that always remains calmed no matter what, had shouted and called Maki Goto stupid. Of course, no one understood why she had done that. Nobody could even imagine the truth.
Why is she so blinded?

***********************
After Maki’s words everybody kept silence. After the verbal confrontation between Rika and Yossi, nobody was expecting that Gocchin could take part in the battle. Everybody there knew that she was a huge part of the problem, but interfere in the fight it was something that not even Miki would dare to do.
“She never betrayed you, Yocchan”
Gocchin then turned to Miyoshi and saw that the girl was looking at her with a death glare more typical from Mikitty than from her. Obviously, the girl had tie up everything and now understood the suddenly interest of the younger.
“It was all schemed by Erika” continued Maki “She did it the way that you hurt each other without even know it…”
“Why?” asked Ishikawa looking at her fellow Biyuuden member and fighting the tears that had began to flow from her eyes.
Erika smiled evilly. Even if Gottsan had tricked her to reveal all her plans, she was enjoying the situation.
“Because it was funny to see how you destroyed each other”
“But…, I trusted you…”
“And that’s why it was so easy. You felt so insecure of yourself that you trust me more than your love. It was so easy to use you…”
“How can you be so cold blooded?”
Miki had kept silence until then but with every single word that Erika said her blood boils more and more. But, someway, she managed to control her rage and made that question instead of using her fists as usually.
“They deserve it” answer Erika coldly “They had to feel the same pain that Goto-san was feeling because of them… But then, you had to appear and make things difficult. It took me off guard. You’d supposed to be busy with Ayaya but it seems that our little princess didn’t know how to keep you at her side”
“That’s none of your business!” shouted Aya.
“Yes, it is! It’s your fault that those two ended together. And you are so stupid that didn’t even know how to take advantage of every opportunity that Rika gave to you. Someone smarter had brought Fujimoto to bed at the first chance…”
This time, Miki made honour to her reputation and let her fist crash against Erika’s jaw. Nobody there was surprised. No one can mess with Ayaya without facing Fujimoto’s rage after. But, even with a tiny thread of blood running from her lower lip, Erika didn’t lose her smile.
“There’s no way you can hurt me” she said looking at Miki with a defiant glare and cleaning the mess with her sleeve “This? This will be just a remain of my victory”
Miki was ready to attack again when a strong hand took her by the wrist and stopped her.
“That’s enough, Miki-chan” said a calm voice behind her. Recognizing the voice, Fujimoto relaxed her arm and let the older woman to lower it “I’ll take charge of her”
Nakazawa’s presence was the only thing that made Miyoshi’s smile drop from her face.
“You” said Yuko firmly “Come with me”
If there was something scarier than an angry Yuko Nakazawa it was a calmly angry Yuko Nakazawa. Nobody knew how she could react and that’s why any of the girls said nothing when Erika and she disappeared.
It wasn’t until after a few minutes of silence that Maki dared to look at her friend. Ishikawa had collapsed in the ground crying, but Yossi was there, standing in the same place where she had been from the start with the look lost in the nothing. Gocchin didn’t need to see tears to know how the truth had devastated Hitomi’s soul at the extreme that she didn’t even have strength to cry.
Then she saw Fujimoto, who had begun to walk towards Yossi, and stopped her.
“Not now, Miki” said Maki leaving a hand on the older’s shoulder “They need to be alone”
Miki looked at Yossi and then turned again to Gocchin and nodded. She understood, as the rest of the girls, that they couldn’t do anything to help, just wait.

**********************
Two girls where sitting in silence in one of the hall couches, still shocked.
“You know…, that’s…”
“Weird” said Nono ending Risa’s sentence.
“Yeah…”
Both sighed and crossed her arms at the same time. Then Gaki-san closed her eyes and laid her head back in the couch.
“But…” began to say the younger again “In some way.., I envy them. To be loved by someone with so much passion… It has to be great”
Nozomi turned to her friend. She could feel a bit of sadness in the voice of the other girl.
“Aren’t you with Ai-chan?”
“Yeah, but you know how she is” answered Risa returning to a more comfortable position “She lives in her own world and, sometimes, it makes me feel lonely. It’s like if she doesn’t care about if I’m there or not”
Then Gaki-san realized that she was saying her thoughts out loud to someone that maybe wasn’t interested on hearing it.
“Uhm, sorry. I’m bothering you with my silly thoughts…”
“No, it’s ok” answered an understanding Nozomi “But don’t you think that it’s Ai-chan who actually should hear this?”
“What I should hear?” said someone behind them.
Both turned to look at the owner of the voice and Risa suddenly began to feel really awkward. She didn’t want to tell her girlfriend about her worries.
“We were talking about what happened right now” said Nono rescuing her friend. She had seen the restless in the younger when Takahashi appeared and understood that Gaki couldn’t be open with her girl about what they were talking, at least, not at that moment “Yocchan and Miki have made things up just in front of Aya”
“It seems that I’ve missed the fun, uh? Doesn’t matter…” she said smiling and leaning to her girlfriend to kiss her briefly on the lips “I know better ways to have fun, right?”
Risa smiled and nodded as if nothing happened but Nono knew that it was all fake, and then realized how many times she’d seen that same smile, how always Gaki reply Ai-chan with a simple nod, without words, without complaints. A single thought crossed her mind... If Takahashi wasn’t nuts about that girl then life wasn’t fair.
***
“That’s not true!” shouted Rika suddenly interrupting Maki “I wanted to be with you! I wanted to give you everything! But you…” tears began to overflow from her eyes “…you had to ruin it all…”
“That’s something that’s gonna be always with me” answered Yossi “But I’m not going to let that single error to rule my life. The times when I believed you have passed, Ishikawa, long time ago”
Just another girl there aside Rika and Yossi knew about what the girls where talking and the feelings inside her began to be very confusing. She felt proud, very proud of Yocchan for being able to face up the situation with so much determination, but at the same time, she felt sorry for Rika. All that seemed a very big misunderstanding where she didn’t have any blame.
Yoshizawa suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Maki with a worried expression on her face.
“Yocchan, before saying anything more, there’s something you should know”
Labels: When Love Hurts
Sorry for the wait, but I had to go back to work earlier than I expected and I hadn't time to finish this before :P
When Love Hurts 54
*************************
Ishikawa was restless and she didn’t know why. She should be happy, she should be enjoying her victory. Rika found the day before that Yossi and Miki didn’t talk to each other. That could just mean one thing, a big fight, probably a break up. Then, why was she feeling so defeated? What she was expecting? She thought that Yocchan would run to her as if nothing happened? What a silly dream…
Besides, in addition to her worries, her fellow Biyuuden members were acting weird lately, like out of character. Yui, usually happy, always with a smile in her face and something to talk about was now serious and silent. And Erika.., well, they hadn’t been ‘alone’ in a few days but Rika could see clearly that something was going on with the girl. She was happy, too happy for someone like her…
She’d liked to ask her about the reason of that happiness, but suddenly, her train of thoughts was interrupted by the hurricane Hitomi.
Miki was there too, holding the younger’s hand and trying to recover her breath.
“Rika-chan?” said Yossi with a soft and suspicious tone in her voice.
“Yes?”
The older was a little offended by the way that Yossi said her name. She didn’t use to call her by her first name since their break up, at least, not usually, and the way she did it now was like another way to hurt her. But she hadn’t time to process that, when Yossi turned to the girl holding her hand and kissed her in front of the astonished Biyuuden members. The smile on Erika’s face disappeared; Yui’s eyes went wide opened and Ishikawa was too surprised to think straight.
But they weren’t the only ones wondering what was going on. While she was trying to breathe normally again, Yossi’s lips reached hers without warning. At first, she tried to find out what was on her Yocchan’s mind but after a few seconds she didn’t care anymore.
That was what Aya, Maki and Shibata found when they reached the place.
“Eh…by any chance… do you know what’s going on here?” whispered Gocchin to Aya.
“I don’t have idea”
The soloist wasn’t so surprised with that situation ‘cause it happened the same some minutes ago before their run, but that doesn’t mean that she wanted to see it again. The fact of see Miki’s arms around Yossi’s neck, attracting her closer and kissing her deeper within every second.., it made Aya feel sick. Then she turned to Maki, who was looking at the couple with a sad expression on her face and she wondered if that’s how Gocchin always felt, if that’s how she was going to feel from now on.
“That’s enough” said an already pissed off Ishikawa.
“I don’t think so” Miki replied with a satisfied smile before kissing again her girl.
But Yocchan should think otherwise because she left Miki’s lips and, holding her hand again, turned to Ishikawa.
“That was to make you understand once and for all that there’s nothing you can do. I love her and any of your twisted plans are going to work anymore”
“If that’s true, maybe it’s time for…”
“She knows” Yossi cut Ishikawa’s sentence before she could say anything more. Then she turned to her girlfriend and looked at her tenderly caressing her cheek “She knows and understand it. Game over, Rika-chan”
That was something that Rika wasn’t expecting. How dared Yocchan to tell something so personal? It was their secret, something just between the two of them, the only thing that kept them together…
“Why are you so hurt?” asked Yossi with a serious tone “Maybe because I’ve told her before you could use it to hurt her?”
“Ok, maybe you’ve win this time” she said turning to Miki “Enjoy your happiness while you can”
“What do you mean with that?” asked Fujimoto.
Rika-chan didn’t answer at first. She raised her hand to caress Yossi’s cheek, something that made the taller jump back to avoid the contact.
“Soon you’ll find that our little girl isn’t the loyal kind”
“You know that’s not true” said Yoshizawa obviously offended.
“No? Ask Gocchin, then”
“Eh? What’s up with me?” asked a surprised Maki from the corner.
“Oh, come on, I know you two were sleeping together…”
Then everybody turned to look at Maki who was, obviously, the more surprised there. Looking at her face it was evident that she didn’t know what Ishikawa was talking about.
“I’m going to repeat it one last time” said Yossi “I never, ever, touched another girl while I was with you”
“That’s true, Rika” assured Maki.
“And you think I’m so dumb to believe you?”
“Believe what you want” answered the soloist “But you know I hate you, why I should lie to you with that then?”
Ishikawa didn’t say anything. Her mind was too busy trying to analyze all the new information that came so suddenly.
“The funny thing is…” continued Yossi “…that you were the one who betrayed me, and yet you’re trying to act as the victim”
“What?”
“You played the innocent girl, the one who wasn’t ready, when actually Erika and you were making fun of me”
At that point, Shibata looked at Maki. Both knew the truth about that and it was the right time to tell everything. She made a gesture to the younger and Gocchin replied with a nod. She knew what she had to do.
“Yocchan, that’s…”
“That’s not true!” shouted Rika suddenly interrupting Maki “I wanted to be with you! I wanted to give you everything! But you…” tears began to overflow from her eyes “…you had to ruin it all…”

Probably that't the last chapter before my trip (going to Tokyo in three days, yay!) So, you'll have to wait 'till I come back for a new update. Or maybe I'll be in the mood and there'll be another one before.. who knows XDD
When Love Hurts 53
************************
Even after spending all night awake, her body didn’t reflex any sign of being tired. Maybe it was because of the decision she had took that she was walking with so much strength. It was her last opportunity and she wasn’t going to give up. She’d already left once the desperation take control of her and she just got to make things worst. It couldn’t happen again.
She saw her objective some meters away, talking with Nono, Risa and Aya in the hall. It wasn’t exactly the best moment but she didn’t care about it.
Without warning, she took Miki by the arm and, without giving her any time to react; she kissed her, of course, with the other three girls as audience.
“I love you and I’m not going to give up so easily”
Yossi had ready a whole speech to convince Miki why they should be together even if it wasn’t going to be easy, but the older didn’t let her even start to speak. She surrounded Yocchan’s neck with her arms and hugged her strongly.
“That means that you forgive me?” asked a surprised Yossi.
“Baka… I don’t care about what happened. I reacted that way ‘cause I wasn’t ready to hear something like that, not because I didn’t want to be with you” Fujimoto’s voice was almost cracking, as if she was going to start crying at any moment “I tried to tell you but you keep running away from me…”
The younger moved away a little and looked at the girl in her arms. There was still one more thing to do.
“Come with me”
Suddenly, Miki felt Yossi’s hand taking her own and the younger started to run.
The three girls remaining in the hall looked at each other. They had been feeling invisible until then.
“Anybody knows what happened right now?”
“They… patch up things? Dunno…You know something?” asked Gaki-san turning to Aya.
But, when they realized, the soloist wasn’t there anymore.
***
“I still can’t believe it”
“You can’t believe it? Imagine how I was feeling when she told me that she was doing all that because of me!” Gocchin raised her voice.
“Sshhhh, someone can hear you” said Ayumi taking her to the couch “So…, she’s taking some kind of revenge on Yossi because she thinks that you hate her for leaving you for Rika-chan?”
“Sort of...”
“See? To be irresistible sometimes isn’t so good” joked the older.
As a reply, Maki punched her in the shoulder. It wasn’t a right comment to do at that moment.
“What are you going to do now?” asked Shibata more seriously.
“Of course I’ll tell Yocchan and Ishikawa. The have the right to know everything. Even if it’s hard to accept, Rika wasn’t guilt of anything and isn’t fair that things end like that”
“But you don’t seem happy to know the truth”
“It was better to thing about Rika-chan as the villain of the movie. It was easier to hate her”
Shibata looked at the younger, who had leant back into the couch and had her eyes closed. Then she understood something. Maki wasn’t the playgirl that she’d always thought, she just don’t wanna be hurt again.
“Shiba-chan, don’t fall in love, never. Love sucks”
What if it’s too late for that?
Then, after some seconds of silence, they heard voices approaching quickly and Maki opened her eyes.
“Yocchan, wait!” complaint Miki trying to keep Yossi’s rhythm “Why the hell are you running?!”
Gocchin and Shibata saw how the two Morning Musume members passed running in front of them. After that, they looked at each other.
“I have a bad feeling” said Maki.
Ayumi was going to say something too, but she was interrupted by an unexpected and fast soloist running after the other two girls.
Imagining that there was something really big going on, Gottsan took Ayumi by the hand and, without saying anything, began to run too.

**************************
I can’t do it, I can’t do it! Definitely not! What the hell I was thinking when I accepted this? What the hell was Shiba-chan thinking when she proposed it?! This must be some kind of punishment for flirting with her so much lately. I should learn to stop playing with the wrong girls…
Well, there’s no turning back. If I want this to work, Erika can’t feel any bit of doubt from me or she’s gonna suspect about my real intentions… This is for Yocchan’s sake, don’t ruin it now Maki…
“I always wanted to know how it feels…”
“What?” asked Maki without stopping what she was doing.
“To be with Gottsan, to taste your kisses…”
That’s… good? As long as she keeps talking, maybe I’ll be able to make her speak about what I want to know…
Shibata’s plan was simple. To make Erika to loose her mind, take advantage of this and make her speak. It should be easy for someone like Maki. Of course, the younger wasn’t so sure about it when all this started. But now, hearing Miyoshi’s words, she began to believe in Shiba-chan. Maybe, there was an opportunity.
“I didn’t know that you were interested on me…” said Gocchin kissing the other girl’s neck “I’ve always thought that you’re with Rika-chan”
“Don’t act like a fool with me” answered Erika “You knew that she was with Yoshizawa-san.
Maki’s hands began to explore under Erika’s shirt. Things were going good… Maybe it was time to try something that she was talking with Shibata a few days ago. The older suspected that it couldn’t be a coincidence that the problems between Yossi and Rika began exactly when Biyuuden was formed…
“Yeah, but they broke up almost a year ago…” began to say Gocchin, hoping that the next step wasn’t to go too further “…and something tells me that I have to thank you for that…”
Erika seemed a bit surprised by Maki’s words but, far from deny any accusation, she laughed and kissed Gottsan deeply.
“I knew it…” she said recovering her breath.
Gocchin heart skipped a bit. She felt already caught.
“I knew that you would be happy with it…”
What?!
“Yoshizawa-san never deserved you…” continued the older “Leaving you the way she did it was unforgivable”
Wait… Wait! Is she saying what I think she’s saying? It’s all about me? Think straight Maki…She wasn’t even here when all that happened…
“How do you know about that?” asked Gocchin trying to make things clear.
“You talk too much, Gottsan”
Maki didn’t complaint. She knew that it would be too risky to keep talking, at least for a few minutes…
***
“I thought that everybody had forgotten about that already…”
Nono took a piece of her cake and proceed to enjoy it.
“…since Makochan was the most interested in all this and she’s already gone”
“Yeah, but I’ve became more worried lately” said Shibata “This isn’t just about Rika-chan and Yossi anymore. There are a lot of people involved already”
The younger left the fork in the table, leant her back in the chair and crossed her arms.
“I understand” she said adopting a serious pose “There’s something I can do?”
“Don’t worry, we’re working in something already”
“We?”
“Yeah, Ma…”
The conversation was suddenly interrupted by Ayumi’s cell-phone. She took it and looked at the mail sender’s id.
Speaking of the devil…
“
“Someone important?” asked a curious Nono.
“No… Just work” lied Shibata.
“You must really love your work to smile like this…”
I was… smiling?
To be continued...

**********************
Walking through the corridors, Miki was thinking about the past few days. She had’n talked with Yocchan since the other girl confessed her secret, just the necessary as leader and subleader. The situation was killing her slowly. The more she thought about it the more she wanted to run to Yossi and tell her that it was all right, that she didn’t care about what happened with Ishikawa. But she can’t, she can’t even try it, because every time they were alone Yossi ran away with a lame excuse.
Just like now.
There she was, walking towards her, with her eyes fixed in the ground, maybe afraid to look at the older.
“Yocchan…”
But Yossi, with a simple ‘hi’, kept walking and soon she disappeared from her sight.
***
“Have you seen that?”
“What?”
“Miki and Yoshizawa-san, they don’t even talk to each other”
Gaki-san raised her eyes from the magazine she was reading and looked towards Miki that was still standing a few meters from them. After a quick glance, she returned to her fashion news.
“Maybe they argued” said Risa reading at the same time “With all that GAM thing it’s easy for Yoshizawa-san to feel jealous”
“What GAM thing?” asked Ai-chan.
Risa turned surprised to her girlfriend who was looking at her with a clueless face.
“Do you really live on Earth?” asked the younger “EVERYBODY knows about the kiss!”
“Wait… they’ve kissed? When?”
The younger sighed and closed the magazine.
“Sometimes I wonder if you really pay attention to the world around you”
“I’m paying attention to you now so, tell me”
“It’s easy. They had to kiss in the last shot of her new PV. I don’t think that it’s a big thing but people began to talk again about Mikitty and Matsuura-san together.”
Hearing that, Takahashi searched quickly in her pocket and took her cell-phone.
“See? You’re not paying attention…” sighed Risa.
“It’s not that” answered Ai-chan leaning to her girlfriend and giving her a quick kiss on the lips “I have to tell Mako-chan about this”
Resigned, Gaki-san returned to her magazine. She knew that it would be useless to try to make Ai-chan understand that it could be worst if she told Makoto. That girl could be able to take the first flight to
“Aah~” she sighed “These things were easier with Kon-Kon around…”
***
Yossi keep walking without going anywhere. She had been doing that for the last few days during the rehearsal’s breaks as a way to avoid the girls, especially one of them. She wasn’t strong enough to face Miki after what happened.
The girl that was in front of her right now it wasn’t easy to face either.
“What have you done to her?”
Aya Matsuura, the lovely Ayaya, had transformed herself in an aggressive girl able to kill anyone who could hurt her best friend. Her face was serious enough to make Yossi understand that she couldn’t run away so easily from that confrontation.
“If you love her so much why do you make her cry?!”
Why I keep hurting the people I love?
“You know what?” said the younger in a defiant way “Now it’s my chance to do something. Miki won’t need you anymore”
“She doesn’t need you anymore…”
Yossi remained in silence while watching Aya leaving. When she was completely alone again she dropped to the floor and buried her face in her kneels.
“The same again, huh?” she said to herself “Yoshizawa…, you’re such a looser…”
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of her cell-phone. It was a message, a really short one:
She loves you
Fight oh!
That was enough to make her smile for the first time in days.
“You always so timely, Mako-chan…”
