Chapter 16

 few sun strains were shining thru the curtains.
I was lying on my belly, still sleeping lightly. After a while I sensed my Miki shifting nearer. When I felt that her hand came under my shirt, stroking my back softly, I turned my head to the right side.
A soft “Good Morning.” Came to my ears.
I smiled and opened my eyes.

My eyes coughed her only a few inches away from me. She looked cute with messy hair and a sleepy face. Slowly she climbed on top of me.
“Morning.” I replied soft and smiled.
Miki stretched her arms, making a “Mhh….”sound.
“Slept well?” I asked.
“Yep.” She answered playing with my hair.
She bends down and kissed me. I returned her kiss softly.

Somehow things changed. Our behaviour was different.
We touch us in other ways than before.
Sometimes, my head was telling me things that frightened me.
This feeling inside me…that says that I should do more…
The way she is playing with me is turning me on. I gently swap places with her and wanted to kiss her more.
Just when I did…the telephone rang…
Miki blushed and covered herself with the blanket.
Talk of bad timing…
I sighed and answered the phone…

“Yah…?”
“Good Morning Matsuura san, I just wanted to say that your Taxi to the airport arrived.”
“Uhm…thanks…”
“We will wait for you.”

The reception hung up the phone.
I scratched my head and looked over to Miki.
“Sorry…”
“F-for what?” she quickly replied.
My head went red.
She smiled, “Taxi arrived?”
I nodded. Well…at least the whole trip to Hawaii was very relaxing and good.

***

Sweet Home…Sweet Home.

Over the whole flight my mind was on Miki.
My eyes took a peep over to the girl who was sitting on the sofa, watching some TV Programs.
I walked quietly to the window, not trying to disturb Miki from watching TV.
The sky was clear outside and the bright lights of the town were reflecting against the window.

“You are so quiet aya…is everything alright?”
A pair of arms appeared around my waist and a little Miki looked into my eyes.

“Do you not want to watch your TV program to the end…?” I whispered.
She smiled and rested her head on my chest, “Nah…”
“Hmm anyway…Mikitty erm…you know…Christmas is soon…” I sighed and tipped my chin on the top of her head.
“Uhm…I would love to spend the night with you…”
My heartbeat went faster. Christmas Eve with Miki? Oh yeah!

“Of course! Err I mean…I would like to spend it with you too…if you erm…want to?”
Miki smiled, “Good. You know…Christmas with the other girls...is boring.”
I pinched her cheek and giggled. Miki stared at me and said nothing.

‘You have so beautiful eyes…’

“I love you.” She whispered and hugged me tight.
I returned her hug, “I love you as well…”


*********

Sigh.
One day before Christmas…and I…have still…NO present for Miki!!!
It’s hard to find something for her…I’m not so lucky…
I’m walking around in Ginza since 10.00am in the morning. There must be something!!
Something special…

“Can I help you madam?” a friendly and young shopkeeper asked me.
“Erm…I’m looking for a present for my girlfr…errr bo-boyfriend!” I stuttered.
“We have some Rings for men over there. Do you want to have a look?”
“Er did I say b-boyfriend?! Sorry I’m quite confused because I didn’t buy a present for my best friend.” I quickly shot back.
The shopkeeper looked irritated but smiled like she had the right thing. And yes! She had it!

*********
My heart was bouncing fast when I heard the doorbell rang.
Quickly I jumped to the door and opened it. My jaw dropped to the ground.

“Hey.” Miki giggled.
“H-hi!” I stuttered back, “You look damn beautiful!”
She was wearing a nice red glittery dress that ended at her knees.
Miki blushed and came into my apartment. My legs were shaking a bit.

‘What now?!’

Like she could read minds she came closer and hugged me.
She smelled really nice…”How are you?” she asked me and looked up.
“F-fine and you?” I asked back.
“Fine as well~”
“So, I panned everything…do you want to hear my little list for tonight?” I asked and watched Miki while she sat onto the couch.
“Sure.” She smiled and crossed her legs.

“Ok. 1st of all I’d made a Christmas cake, a strawberry cake. I’d like to eat it with you. 2nd, we can exchange our presents and chill out a bit. 3rd, I will take you to a date. We can walk in the streets and parks of Tokyo a bit. Might be romantic?” I paused and blushed.
Miki giggled, “Good ideas. And…what do we do after our little walk?”
Suddenly she had a smirk on her face.
I scratched my head, “Er…well yeah. I haven’t thought about that yet…ha…ha…ha”

“Yah, so first the cake hm?”
I nodded, “I will go and get it, wait a sec.” I headed into the kitchen.

***

There we were. Sitting on the floor and eating my yummy Christmas strawberry cake.
“It’s delicious!”
“Glad you like it! Ah Miki…say Aaaaaaaaa~” I took the strawberry of my cake and held it between my thumb and index finger.
“Aaaaaaaaaa~”
Miki began to giggle while she chewed the strawberry.
“Uhm. Now you~” she laughed and fed me with a strawberry as well.
I grinned. Her childish giggling made me happy. She was so cute.
“Hey…” she put her index finger under my chin and moved my head nearer to hers.

We kissed us. Her lips tasted like strawberries. And to be honest…the kiss was better than the cake…
“Hey Miki…let’s exchange our presents yeah?” I whispered.
She nodded and smiled.

“Merry Christmas Miki~” I said cheerful and gave her a little package.
“Oh~!!” Miki looked surprised and happy when she saw the golden Ring.
“I love you.” I whispered and kissed her on to the cheek.
“I love you too…and I think you will be surprised now…” she said and gave me her present.
It was wrapped into the same paper like mine.
I opened it and yes! I was surprised!
“T-The same ring?” I laughed, “Now we have something matching again hm?” I smiled.
“Yeah, I had to think about you when I saw it…” she said and blushed.
I giggled.
“A-Aya could you put it on my finger?” she asked me.
“S-sure!” I took the ring and carefully put it on her ring finger.
“Thanks~ Erm…can I…too?”
I nodded. She took the ring she bought me and put it on my ring finger as well.

“Yaaaay~” we both giggled and hugged us.

***

It was about 11:00p.m when we walked around in a park near my apartment.
It was really cold. Miki was shivering really strong. Somehow the scene remembered me of Hokkaido… I put my right arm around her shoulders and held her closer to me.
“You’re ok?”
She smiled and nodded. Her cheeks were red because of the cold.
“You were right Aya…it is romantic outside here…even it’s a bit cold but your body is so warm…I can feel your heartbeat…it’s relaxing…” Miki stopped, closed her eyes and shifted nearer. My body got warmer and warmer.
“Aya…the new year is coming nearer and nearer…”
“Uhm…”
“Please let me be still a part in your life then too…”
“I will…I will take care of you…no matter what happens…you will be in my heart. You are my love and my best friend.”
She just wanted to say something but…

“A- Hey look! It’s snowing!”
“Ah really!” I replied and looked up.
“Beautiful…”
“Yeah…That’s even more romantic…”
“We are really lucky, right?
“We are…we really are.” I smiled and put my arm around Miki again.

“C-can we go back again? I’m freezing…” Miki stuttered.
“I thought my body is warm?”
“It is! But, I want to go to your place again…It’s nicer there…No hard park bench but a really really nice and warm bed!”
“Oh I see. Ok then let’s go!!!”

***

Miki was right a warm bed is nicer than a park bench.
We cuddled ourselves under the blanket. Nothing is nicer to cuddle with the most be loved to finish a romantic day.
.

Chapter 15

Miki and I were talking about the futarigoto episode until now.
She said that she loved me since we met us, but she was too afraid to tell.
I listened carefully to each word she said.
The futarigoto episode played a huge role in our conversation.

“You know…I tried to make my feelings a bit clearer to you when we had this dinner.”
I nodded, “When I said that we can’t get any closer I saw sadness in your eyes. Even in the funny moments when we laughed and giggled together I saw this sadness.”
She took my hand, “I was sad…at that point I wished that I never started that conversation…”

“But you know…we really can’t get closer…” I began.
Miki gave me a surprised look.
“…when we are working, right?” I smiled and stroked her cheek.
Slowly she closed her eyes and let her head rest on my lap, “Of course we can’t kiss us in public…I know that…” She whispered, “But I still can hug you in public right?”

“Mikitty…” I began to laugh, “If you didn’t realised it, you hug everyone!”
Miki giggled, “Ah…right.”
My fingers began to tickle her behind the ear. She snuggled into me and purred like a cat.
“Like this hmm…?” I whispered and leaned my head back.
“Mrrmm…” she purred back.
A smile appeared on my face.

“But…I love it more like this…” Miki took me by the wrist and laid me next to her.
She blushed a bit when our faces were only a few inches away.
I smiled and wrapped my arms around her.
“You really love cuddling hm?” I laughed quietly.
“Only with you~” she giggled back and rubbed her cheek against mine.
I loved it when she did that. And even more when she was lying in my arms and giving me warm feelings.

Miki came closer but stopped her head, “T-This is funny? On the beach I had the strength to kiss you but now I’m nervous.”
My face went red, “I-I’m nervous t-t-t-too.” I stuttered.
And this was really embarrassing for both of us.
But somehow…I feel like I’ve got the man role in our relationship. Well… but it feels great!
So I took all my strength together and gave her a little but lovely kiss on her lips.

She began to giggle again and snuggled into me.

“You are a funny girl mikitty~ I love you.”
“True?”
“I wouldn’t say it if it wouldn’t be true silly you~”
Miki’s heartbeat relaxed, “It feels so good…to know that you love me ayaya…”
I closed my eyes and let my heart melt by her words.

***

“Alohaaaaa~!”
“Gosh Maki don’t scream so loud thru the phone!” I shouted back.
Maki giggled, “Sorry~ and are you two ok?”
“Yep we are fine~ Nice weather and I don’t have to work today because it’s the last day of our trip~ How about you?”
“Ok…you started with the weather so I do it as well…It’s raining so much! Damn! You two are lucky!!! And I’m fine~” Maki’s voice was first angry but then happy.
“Ahh~ Well It’s nice that you are doing well!~” I took a look over Miki.
She gave me a glare that was filled with jealousness.
My body froze.

“Aya?”
“Huh? yeah yeah?”
“How is Miki?”
“She is doing really well. I can see that she relaxed more since yesterday.” I said and gave Miki a wink.
She blushed a bit.
“That’s really good! And now to the main reason why I call…”
‘Oh great…’

“What is it?”
“Yaah actually it’s good...I think.”
“Damn maki then say it!” I screamed.

“Ok…I’ve heard that you and Miki will have a 3rd single.”
Oh!!! My heart was bouncing.
“C-could you repeat that please?” I asked and switched on the free speaker.

“You maybe will have a 3rd single. Wasn’t that clear enough?”

Miki jumped up from the bed and ran in circles.
I smiled. This was too good to be real!

“M-Maki? I will call you back ok?” I asked.
“Eh?...Moo! Ok…take care you two. See you…ah! Tomorrow!”

I hung up and found Miki directly in my arms.
“Yaaaaaay~” She laughed.
“This is awesome! More time we can spend together!”
Miki nodded happily.

***

“Hmm…so what should we do on our last day in Hawaii?”
Miki thought a bit, but then shrugged with her shoulders, “Don’t know.”
This girl always let me end up with thinking!
“I think…you just want to stay here hm?”
Miki gave me a smile, “Only if you want to stay here too.”
“Indoor type you~” I laughed.

Miki stuck out her tongue and slammed her hand against her butt.
Naughty thoughts came to my head but I tried to hold them back.
I don’t want to shock Miki if I would do what I was thinking.

There was a short silence between us.

“Ah come let’s walk around a bit hm?” Miki finally said something.
I agreed and we went out.


There was a nice spot far away from the town we were staying.
We ended up walking, or better playing around.
Hugging each other, running around, trying to catch ourselves. We played like little kids.
It was fun.

The best thing, we were alone.
“Ohaaaa Mikitty look here!” I screamed with a high tone.
She quickly looked over to me, “Wha—“

“Nothing~” I whispered after I finished my kiss.
She began to giggle and wrapped her arms around my neck.
We collapsed both onto the sand and began to kiss us longer.
It felt great.

Snap Snap

I opened my eyes slowly, seeing that Miki still had her eyes closed.
Carefully I stopped, “Did you hear that?”
“Hm?”
“…Just thought…I heard something?”
She stroked my cheek and smiled, “Maybe just a bird.”
I smiled back and nodded. Again we continued kissing.


Snap Snap Snap Snap.

“Eh?” I whispered and looked around.
“This time I heard it too.” Miki said looking around aswell.
Somehow…I had this nervous and bad feeling in my stomach.
I stood up and checked the area a bit, but saw nothing.
“Maybe…it really was just a bird?” I asked.
“Could be…?”

Then there was another noise. We both saw a shadow that disappeared behind the trees.
I took Miki’s hand, “Come let’s go. I don’t like this here…”
Miki nodded and we headed back.

I couldn’t sleep that night.
This was all so mysterious. But when I looked in Miki’s face when she was sleeping I calmed down. Still…this feeling in my stomach was still…there.

Chapter 14

2 Days in Hawaii and Tan was always relaxing. This girl is definitive an indoor type! I asked her about 20 times to go to the beach with me…Everytime I ended up walking alone…The only best thing was our bath times…
Damn…what should I do? Photo shootings in the morning until afternoon…not much time to hang out with her then…

“Hmpf…what should I do…?” I asked myself and looked outside.

“Ayaya?”
I turned around, “Hm…?”
Miki smiled, “Want to go to the beach? Might be nice to go swimming when it is a bit late.”
A happy smile appeared on my face, “Finally! Of course!”
“Ok…I’m already finished. Go and get on your bikini~” She gave me a wink and disappeared in the living room.

Quickly I got into my bikini, covered from my hot pants and a tank top like Mikitty.
“I’m ready!~”
“Good so let’s go!~” Mikitty giggled and took my hand.

***

The sky was orange red already.
No people. Well of course there aren’t much people…we had a nice place between big stones and very much space. Funny that no one found this place already. Actually Miki found it when she was here with Morning Musume a few years ago.

“Ayaaaaa~”
“Huh?”
Miki giggled and splashed water into my face.
I splashed back.

“EEEEH?? Where is she?”
Miki was gone? How could that be?

“M-Miki? T-Tan?” I looked around. No Miki.

Suddenly something stroked my leg, I looked down quickly.
Ah she was diving. When she came up again she splashed water into my face.
“Ehehe.” She giggled.
She was so cute. I like it when she is so happy.
Miki looked into the sky.
I caught her reaction,“Pretty isn’t it?”
“Aya, you know…I always wanted to watch a sunset with you…should we watch it together?”
“Sure.” I said.
We walked back to the beach and sat down.

***

“Do you think…we had the chance to swim naked just now?” Miki asked.
I laughed, “Eh?”
“Never did something like this before. You?”
“N-No…and I wouldn’t try it.”
Miki laughed quietly.

The last days she was so quiet…She was so playfully when we arrived here on Monday. But then she got quieter. I tried to get her laugh but it failed everytime.

“Tan is something wrong?” I asked and shifted closer.
Miki took a pause and shifted nearer as well, “D-don’t know…I was thinking about a few things the last days…”
“About what?”


She looked up into the sky. Her hand travelled to mine and holds it tight.
My heart was skipping one beat after another one.
“L-Love…I wonder…if there will be a chance for me again…”
Will there be a chance for me? That’s what I am thinking about all the time…

Quickly I jumped behind her and hold her tight.
“There will be chances…believe me…”
“I think there is no one who loves me…” she added.

“Don’t be so stupid!” I said and turned her around.
She shook her head.

“It’s true! I lost the person who I love the most!” she cried back.
My heart sank. What did she meant?
“W-wait, don’t tell me that you still love…this…”

“No!! I… Damn! Just leave me alone!” she shouted and stood up.
Quickly I grabbed her wrist, “Miki please tell me!”
She shook her head, when she did, something dropped against my face.

‘W-water? N-no wait…’

I let go of her.

“I wish I could understand what you are thinking…I’m trying so hard since weeks now to show you what I feel…but maybe…I didn’t show you enough…”,
I took a break, “Please…tell me what’s wrong…”

She seated herself near me again, her knees against her chest and her arms wrapped around them.

There was a long silence.

“I don’t know…I’m not myself the last days…”
“I realised that…why? Do you have an answer why you are so upset the last days?”
Miki shook her head.
“When something is worrying you tell me…please.”

Miki took a long break and was thinking again.


“There is something…what did you meant by ‘I tried so hard since weeks now to show you what I feel’?”
I sighed…”I need time for this…I think…I just erm…It’s something I have to tell you”
Now Miki’s look was even more irritated.
“Please…”
Miki nodded, “Is it bad?”

“Don’t know…” I said and took her hand.

Again there was silence.

“Say…did it leave a scar?”
“Huh?”
“On your shoulder.” Miki said and looked at my shoulder.

“Yes…but I will take it positive.”
“How do you mean that?”
“Everytime when I look at it I will be glad that I have it…” I said and smiled.
“I don’t get it!”
I sighed, “I’m glad hat I have it because it is something special.”
“Why is it special? Can’t you just say why and don’t use 30 sentences?!”
“Idiot…this scarf shows me that I protected someone who I like…”

‘Or love…’

Miki got quiet again.
I wonder what she was thinking…

“I think…I know what you meant by the sentence…” she said quiet.
“Hm?”
“Your behaviour changed so much last month…you are caring about me more and more…”
“Got that right…yes…Because you were the one who cared about me all the years…and I was so stupid and didn’t saw it…” I said and got an idea.


“Taaan? Could you do me a favour?”
“Hm? What favour?”

I grinned.

***

“Eh??? What are you doing aya?!”
“Hold still!” I said and covered Miki with more sand.
“You are so stupid! I warn you! When you leave me alone like this I will kill you!” she screamed.

“Yah yah…”

***

“Finished~” I said cheerful.
“Fine you had your fun now get me out again!”
“No.” I said and crossed my arms on the place where Miki had her chest under the sand.

“W-what is this going to be?” she asked nervous.

I shushed her, “Be quiet…”
She was irritated.
“Close your Eyes and listen…listen carefully…”

Miki closed her eyes.

“You know…something changed…I changed so much because I fell in love with someone…”
Miki opened her eyes, “Wha—“

“Damn listen! Close your eyes I’m not finished yet!”

Miki hesitated but closed her eyes again.

“I fell in love with someone…And I truly love this person…We are hanging out every second…even if we had a quarrel…And I want to be there for the Person…”

‘Finally…’

“Miki…” I whispered and gave her a soft kiss onto her lips, “I love you.”

She carefully opened her eyes and was just staring at nothing.

Do you know why I covered her with sand? I don’t know how she would react…So if she might react with hitting me she has no chance…

“Aya…? Could you come nearer for a sec?” Miki whispered.
I hisitated and leaned forward.


Suddenly she pushed herself out of the sand and wrapped her arms around me, slamming me against the sand and kissing me with such much power.
This kiss was filling my heart with love…

“I love, love you, love you, love you!!” she repeated and kissed me thousand times.
“Is that true?!” I asked.
She rubbed her cheek against mine, “Yes!” she whispered into my ear.

I hugged her tight.
“Wa-wait! You are crying?” I asked and looked into her face.
Miki sniffed but smiled, “Uhum…I didn’t know that you would feel something for me after our futarigoto episode…I was too scared to ask…Your answer was clear enough for me at that time…”
“Miki…” I said and went my thumbs over her cheeks.
“Ayaya you are still irritating me~” Miki laughed and hugged me.
“You are irritating me as well!~” I laughed.

Is this the reality? Or a dream?
For me it’s reality!
Finally I said that I love her. And I didn’t expect her reaction at all…
I’m the happiest Aya on the world.

Miki and I were going back to the hotel.
We both have to sit down and talk about many things now.

Chapter 13

“Oh yes yes yes! Finally Mikitty and me on Hawaii…hehehe” I whispered and ran in circles.
“Hohoho” Now I was jumping
I clenched my fist and looked up into the sky, putting on my sunglasses.
“Hihi Hoho haha!~ This is to good to be reeeeeaaal!~~” I giggled and danced around.

“Ayaya…here..we have room—“ Miki stared at me, “Ehm…What are you doing?”
“Whooo!” I screamed out of surprise, “N-Nothing!!” I replied quickly and stood still.
Miki gave me an irritated look, “Aha…yah well…we have room 223.”
I nodded, “Okeee!”
“How…how many cups of coffee did you have this morning?!” Miki asked me.
“2…or no wait…erm 6! Yeah 6!” I replied.
“You should leave it by one every morning…” Miki sighed and grabbed her bag.
“Naaah just kitting Tan~ No I’m exited an nervous~”
Miki smiled, “Come let’s have a look into our room.”
I nodded and followed her.

She had no clue that there was something…Something that I let prepare.
Mikitty unlocked the door and opened it.
“Whoaa! Nice room!” She said and dropped her bag directly down and looked around.
I did the same but stayed in the living room.


“Ayaya!! Look! Look here!” Miki screamed out of the bedroom.

Yes! She has found it! I ran into the bedroom, “What?” I asked cool.

“Whoa look at these nice pictures!”
I collapsed. She didn’t saw what I let prepare!!!
Quickly I poked onto her shoulder and pouted my cheeks when she looked back.

“Hm? Your ok?”
“Uhm!!!” I made a noise and pointed on the bed.
Miki’s eyes were passing my head and looked on the bed.
“Whoaaaa!” She screamed.
I wonder how much coffee she drank…

Finally…she picked up the bunch of flowers on the bed that I let prepare this morning.

“To Mikitty, Let’s have a nice stay here in Hawaii~ Ayaya.” Miki read and looked at me.
I gave her a smile, scratching my cheek with my index finger.
“You…”
Is she going to hit me?! She looked onto the floor.

“You are so CUTE!!” she suddenly screamed and hugged me.
I giggled.
“You never did something like this before.” She said, her head turning red like a tomato.
“Yahhrr…you know erm…j-just a little idea…” I stuttered.
Miki giggled.
After we saw our hotel room we went down and ate something. We were hungry.

***

“Nice dinner…Puuh…is it only me or why is it so hot?” Miki asked.

‘Ahem…Girl we are on Hawaii…’

“It’s Hawaii…you should expect something from an hot island or not?”
Miki nodded.
“Soo…do you want to go out? Beach? Or just relax the first day?” I asked looking around again.
“I’m a bit tired…” Miki said and began to strip away her shirt, “So I will relax a bit…”

‘Oh…oh…oh…keep quiet…keep quiet…oh oh nooo….’

“W-What are you doing??” I asked and hid my self behind the door.
“It’s damn hot…so I just get off some clothes. It’s nobody here so it’s ok. Isn’t it?”

‘Nobody h-here? I’m standing behind the door with a bleeding nose!’


“Yahh…I will stay here than too.” I said, hopefully changing the subject.
“Uhm. Maybe we can go to the beach tonight.” Miki said and jumped onto the bed.
I didn’t exactly know why but I joined her…Maybe because it looked so inviting…

“Uhaaa I’m tired…” Miki yawned.
“You didn’t slept well last night hm? I heard you when you went into the kitchen.”
Miki nodded and sighed, “Uhn…the storm last night was so loud…”
“I didn’t hear anything…was it so loud?”
“Maybe it was your snoring! But wait…when you didn’t hear the storm why did you hear me?”

I blushed, “Erm…because you…because the…because the bed sheets moved! Yeah the bed sheets moved when you stood up!”
“Oh…I see.” Miki said calm and closed her eyes.

I had a deep look into her face.
.
.
.
.
“Something wrong?” she asked and kept her eyes closed.
“Do you have a 6th sense for catching me when I’m looking at you?!”
“Maybe…” she said and opened her eyes.

I smiled, “You are cute…”
Suddenly she turned around.
“You’re blushing?”
“N-No!” she stuttered and hid her face with her arm.
“Yes you are!” I laughed and turned her around.
She began to giggle, “Why are you saying this everytime?”
“Because it’s true…”
Miki began to laugh, “Stupid! Uha! S-stop tickling me!”

“Noooo~”
“A-aya! It tickles! Stop stop!” she cried out with her laughing.

“Uh! Ouch *%&!?° “ I screamed.
“Oh shit sorry! I didn’t want to kick y—“ Suddenly Miki laughed when she realised where she kicked me.

“S-stop laughing….ouch…even for girls it’s pain to get kicked down there…” I whined.
Miki wrapped her arms around my neck, “Sooorry~~”
I wanted to look up to her and give her my ‘angry’ look but my eyes stopped, staring at her chest.
Quickly I jumped up, “Yaahhh it’s ok!!! I have to use the toilet excuse me!~”

“Huh?”

Damn!! My nose was bleeding again. This is getting on my nerves!
Good that she was wearing a bra…

Chapter 12

Well my stay in hospital wasn’t long. I came back at about 3 o clock.
“Miki tan I will go into the shower now…”
Miki looked up and hesitated to say something, “Ehhmmm…”
Ah did she want to join me? Please…please…
She grabbed a book, “I-I will just read erm…this book while you are in the s-shower.” She stuttered.
I gave her a forced smile, while my heart sank very deep…, “Uhum…”

In the bathroom I took off my clothes and went into the shower.
“Hmpf…” I sighed and bumped my head against the wall.
Something was still there…I’m scared of this ‘something’…If only I would know what it is…
The walls of the shower were steamed up. With my finger I wrote 4 words onto them. Sigh. Again I let my head bump against the wall.

A light pressure appeared onto my back, but was gone as far as it came.
I turned around quickly.
“Eh? W-what was…that?”
I looked around.
After I saw nothing in the bathroom I wrapped my towel around my body and ran into the living room.

“Miki? Eh…Were you just in the bathroom?”
Miki looked up from her book and gave me an innocent look, “No…Why?”
“Uhm…no it’s ok…” I said and headed into the bathroom again for getting dressed.
I could swear…someone touched my back…

***

“Taaaaaaaaan! Hurry up! If we want to reach the hills outside Tokyo we have to hurry!” I shouted and knocked against the bathroom door. She was in there too long now…
Finally the door clicked and opened.
“Sorry…I’m ready. Err…are you o-ok?”

I heard a snap near my ears and came back to reality.
“Y-you l-look really…be..be-beautiful!” I stuttered and kept staring at Miki.
She blushed…………….totally!!! Damn cute!
“Let’s go.” I said and locked my arm with hers.
It didn’t took long until we reached a hill outside of Tokyo to see the firework.
Why I decided to go somewhere outside Tokyo? Easy…from this hill we will have the best view over Tokyo!
“Let’s sit here.” Miki said and pointed at a nice big tree.
I nodded and let the bag drop by side it.
“Can y-you hold me while the firework?” Miki asked suddenly and looked at me with a little ‘nervous’ smile.
I nodded and took her hand. We seated ourselves under the tree. And again…I had Miki in my arms.
“2 minutes until the firework starts…” I whispered.
“It’s nice up here…I think we have a good view.”
I nodded, tapping my chin on her shoulder, “I watched a firework, 2 years ago, right here.”
Miki giggled, “With?”
“Ahh who was it again…I think it was…uhm…Ah! Natsumi and Maki! Oh yes I can remember now.”
“Cool…ah it started!”


Bright lights were twinkling in the clear dark sky.
A boom followed by another bang.
Different shapes, all very nice.
Big and small ones.

It was damn cold but seeing the bright coloured lights, makes me happy.
And to watch this nice moment with the girl that I love, makes me even happier.
Having her in my arms. Feeling every little hair that tickles against my face because of the light wind…Hearing her voice that make my heart bounce.
I enjoy every second that I can spend with her.

I had a look on my watch…the firework will end soon.
“I…think the final will come soon…” Miki said and smiled.

My eyes caught that her cheeks were red. I even was able to see that in the dark.

‘I…can’t hold it back…I have to…have to…’


Chu.

Finally…I gave her a kiss onto her cheek. I think…this was the best start.

“T-trying to copy my new habit?” She asked shyly.
I laughed quietly, “No…How was it? Miss Fujimoto please teach me.”
Miki began to giggle and turned around, “Quite good but look…”
She returned my kiss, “See…softly and short.”
My mind drove me crazy again…
“Hm…right…so, soft and quick?” I asked.
Miki nodded. I can’t tell it exactly but somehow…she looked at me…like she was waiting…for something?
“Uhmm and how about something like this?...” I asked and leaned closer.
She looked at my lips and then into my eyes with half closed eyes.
Her head came closer as well. My heart start bouncing.


Boom Bodoom Boom Boodoom



BOOM BOOM BANG BANG

Suddenly…the final of the firework began…
I stopped and was still looking at Miki. When she realised the final began her eyes were opened full again and she looked away.
Slowly she returned back to her position before the firework.

I gave a quiet sigh from me and wrapped my arms around her again.
Again…it failed. But…maybe I’m a bit closer.

“Don’t worry…”
“Hm?”
“Your kisses are great…” She said smiling.
I smiled as well.

Miki leaned her head against my shoulder, “Ayaya…I wish the time would stop…”
“Mikitty! We have to find the Dragon balls!” I laughed.
She couldn’t stop laughing, it looked cute.
After she managed to get breath again she said, “No! Serious…Nee…Aya chan…could you promise me something?”

“Everything…” I replied.
“Please…stay my friend for ever... I love it to have you close to me.”
“I promise. Then…promise me something too…”
“Uhm.”
”That I will stay your friend for ever too…” I said.
“Of course!” she replied, “And…I will tell you everything…no secrets anymore…” she added.
“Uhm…right…”

“B-by the way…uhm…I have to tell you something…”
I looked at her and when she looked at me I gave her my ‘WHAT…?’ look.
“I was in the bathroom today…”
“D-did you touch my back?”
She nodded guilty.
“Puuh…”

Shit! Suddenly I remembered…I wrote 4 words at the time…d-did she saw them?!

“Erm…did you saw something…on the shower wall?” I stuttered.
Miki thought a bit, “No? I just wanted to ask…” she blushed, “If I can join you…but then I felt embarrassing and ran out of the bathroom…”

Oh…so…I had the chance to shower with her… DAAAAMN!!!!

“Err…it’s…next time…erm…just ask…”
Miki giggled shyly.

The rest of the night we kept talking about promises.
When it got colder and late, we went back to my apartment and looked some DVD’s, drinking hot chocolate and were cuddling eachother like teddy bears.
All this things were bringing back many memories when we were teenager.
And I realised…we still are like we were a few years ago…

‘Miki I love you’

Chapter 11

I had to do a lot of Phone calls when we came to my apartment.
The police know every detail and they were searching for this….ARGH!!!
Tsunku was completely shocked. But we didn’t tell him that this guy was Miki’s Ex Boyfriend. He also made Miki a present. Tsunku said she should fly to Hawaii for a few days. What I found really surprising was that I have to go there too. Of course I would be there for work. But you know...knowing that Miki is there as well made me happy.

In the afternoon we got a call from the police.
Miki’s got robbed. They only got little clues…but still no sign of this ARGH!!
But they said that we can go out normally. Even…one thing is clear! I won’t let Miki alone if we would go out. Together we would be stronger right?

Miki was sleeping since a few hours ago.
I was sitting on my bed, Miki lying in my arms and her head rested on my shoulder. My heart was filled with happiness to have her so close again.
Her eyelashes were tickling against my neck when she woke up.

“Aya…?”
“Here…” I whispered back.
She snuggled into me again but looked up, “Some news?”
I shook my head. Miki sighed.
“Don’t worry…”
“Aya?...could we get out for a bit? I think it would help me a bit…”
“Are you sure?” I asked.
Miki nodded.

Anyway…I lost my Yoyo when I ran towards Miki this morning…Wouldn’t be bad to search for it…Lot’s of Memories are in this Yoyo…

***

“Hmm…it must be somewhere…” Miki said and looked around.
“There!” I said happily and picked it up.
“Oh gre—“

Hm? I looked behind me.
“Something wrong?” I asked.
She was standing there like she just had seen a ghost.
“Th-There…” she said pointing at something.
I turned again, “Hm?...Ah…Is it…?”
Miki’s face colour disappeared. She nodded.

“…Call the police.” I said and looked at her.
“What are you going to do?” She asked me quickly.
“Call the police…” I repeated again.
“Please…stay here…” Miki said and ran to a near phone box.

You…

“Oi!” I screamed and grabbed him by his collar.
“EH?”
“You will gonna be in so BAD trouble now!!!” I shouted and clenched my fist.
“What do you want?” He replied cool, “trying to hit me? Ts…silly girl!”

“SHUT UP!!!” I screamed and punched him into the face.
“You have hurt her! No one…NO ONE will hit her!! And who does will get in big trouble with ME!!!” I shouted again.
This guy…he just sat there and grinned.
I could hit this crappy face again and again!

“Aya!” I heard Miki shouting.
I looked around. Miki and police! Great!


“Now YOU gonna be in trouble!!!”
Quickly I turned around. It was too late. He wrapped one arm around my neck and held a knife before my throat.

The police tried to talk with him. But everytime they tried to get nearer he held his knife closer to my throat.

“Aya!!” I heard Miki again. Carefully I looked at her and smiled.
Hopefully…it would work…

‘Please…I don’t hope I watched Dragon Ball without learning some moves…’

I tried to punch into his stomach and it worked!

“Ufff”

But It was the wrong timing. I felt a bad pain on my right shoulder. When I looked on it…well…It didn’t look nice…
This idiot stabbed his knife into my shoulder!!!

“You…you…” I took a pause and gave him my Sukeban Deka look, “Uraaahhh!!” I screamed and kicked him right into his lower zone.

“Uffffffff….” Was the only thing he said and then he collapsed.
The police used the chance and ran over to us.

I was sweating and exhausted. The pain on my shoulder was getting terrible…
My eye took another peep at my shoulder…uhaaa…disgusting! My mind went blurry…I can’t look at blood long…it makes me dizzy…

“uh…uhaaa..ahuuu…” My legs felt weak suddenly.
I was going to fall!!
.
.
.
.
“Aya!!”
I fell into a pair of arms.
“Miki…tan…”
“Idiot! I told you to stay where you are!!” Miki’s voice was cracking.
I couldn’t see her clear…my hand travelled over her cheek and I gave her a smile.
“I let no one hurt you…” I whispered until my eyes were seeing nothing.

***

*sniff* *sniff sniff*

This smell…uhm…nice…
I opened my eyes and saw that I wasn’t lying in my bed.

“You’re awake…good.”
My eyes were fixed on a person sitting on a chair, “Hmm?”
“How do you feel?”
I closed my eyes and opened them again…ah it was yocchan…, “A bit better.”
“Glad to hear that” she said, “Look…” Yossie pointed at something that was near me.
I carefully got my back up and scratched my head.

“Ah…”
A big smiled appeared on my face.
“She didn’t left you since yesterday. ”Yossie said smiling and stood up, “Ok…have to go now…please get well soon. You are incredible.”
I smiled and nodded.

My eye’s caught Miki again who had her head on her crossed arms, sleeping peaceful on the edge of the bed.
Carefully I stroked away a few hair strains out of her face.

“Hmm…”
“Ah…Did I wake you up?” I asked.
“Uhm…no…hey! You’re awake? Since when? Are you ok?”
I laughed, “Don’t worry. I’m fine. Thank you for staying by my side.”
Miki smiled and nodded.

We kept staring at eachother.

“By the way…I talked with the doctor…you are lucky! You already can leave the hospital this afternoon. “
“Oh really?”
Miki nodded, “The check up was good.”
Suddenly something came back to my mind again.

“Ehm…what date do we have today??” I asked. Sorry…but I forgot it.
“23rd November. Why?”
I dropped onto my pillow again, scratching my head and grinning.
“Why?” she asked again.

“We will go and watch the firework tonight.”
Miki took a pause, “EEEEEEEH???!”
“Not EEEEH!! I had this in my mind since a few months ago…I really want to watch it with you…”
“Only! If you are really feeling better!”
“I feel better don’t worry! So is it a yes?”

“Yeeeeeeees~” Miki said and hugged me.

“OUUUCH!!!” I screamed.

Quickly Miki jumped back, Did I hurt you?!”
I pouted my cheeks first but then smiled, “Nope.”
Miki giggled.
“Awww come here!~” I laughed and hugged her.

I looked on my shoulder again.
The injury will leave a scar for sure.
But…ah doesn’t matter.

Chapter 10

“Huuaatshuuu!”

I felt cold and my nose was running.
“Oh shit…” I sighed and looked around. It looked like I fell asleep under the bridge. But a blanket was wrapped around me? How could that be? I was alone…or not?

“Finally you are awake.” I heard an old mans voice.
I quickly stood up. He surprised me!
“Ehh…” I stuttered.
“What is a pretty girl like you doing outside in the cold?”
I could have asked that myself to be true…
I shook my head, “Trouble…”
The man laughed, “Fine. You’re doing well, so leave now.”

“T-thanks for the blanket.”
The man smiled and nodded.

I was even luckier when I saw a free taxi driving on the street.

***

I reached my apartment and headed directly into the bathroom for a shower. Hopefully it would calm me down a bit. My body was in pain, my heart even more… I’m still asking me why she did that…She lied to me! It’s unfair!

A lot of messages from my mum, Maki, Yossie and from her…
While I checked them my doorbell rang.

“Aya!! Open up!!”
It was Maki’s voice. Slowly I walked to the door and opened it. Maki looked really exhausted. Her eyes were checking every inch of my body.
“Something wrong?” I asked.
“Something wrong?!” she caught new breath, “Damn Aya! Where have you been?! We were worried about you!”

“I was here.” I lied.
“So?! Why haven’t you answered my messages?”
I looked up at Maki and sighed, “Cell phone was switched off.”
“Ok. But I was here about 0:10 a.m.! You weren’t here! Miki and Yossie were knocking on my door at 11:30 p.m.! I was already sleeping! The knockings were getting louder so I stood up and saw two completely exhausted girls in front of me! They were searching for you all the time!” Maki said.
Normally I should be touched right? I felt nothing!

“I wasn’t here at the time.” I replied.
“At least you are ok…Something happened yesterday with Miki?”
I shook my head, “No. When it’s ok I would like to rest a bit. I’ve got a cold.”
Maki hesitated a bit but then she nodded, “Uhn. Get well soon.”
I closed the door and went into my bedroom, dropped myself onto my bed and looked up.
“Urahhh!!!” I shouted angry and pressed my face against my pillow.

***

My free days were passing by. I stayed and home and just relaxed.
But today I had to work again. And it was really pain. Not because of her…my cold was very strong.

“Whoa! You’re ok?” Tsuji asked and touched my forehead.
“Only a little cold.” I replied. “You really look ill! Your cheeks are looking really red!”
I smiled, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Tsuji nodded, “Oook! Got Futsual now! Get well soon!”
“Haiii! B—“ Great…Everytime when I higher my voice I had to cough.

“So let’s see…Dance practise now.” I grabbed my bag and walked into the dressing room.
And I wasn’t surprised of that what I just saw…

“Aya.”
I gave her a glare, “Out.”
“Let me explain. Please!”
“I said out!” I shouted and grabbed her by her wrist.
She was fighting against my grip and got rid of it. She tried to hug me.
Not with me! I pushed her away. She hit against the wall. Again my colds interrupt me from throwing her out.

“Are you ok?!” she asked.
“Don’t touch me!” I shouted.

“Miki? Futsual is starting now..Eh? Are you two ok?” Yossie asked and stopped by the door.
I was sweating. What was wrong with my body? The only thing I could remember was fast foot steps and someone shouting my name…Everything…was…so...blurry….

***

“Miki…you should visit her…” Yossie said and took Miki’s hand. She shook her head and looked down.
“Why not? She needs you now…Her parents are away and she is at home with fever…”
“So why don’t you go to her then?!” Miki shouted and left the room.
“Miki?...what’s wrong with you…”
***

“Hm…shalala…shalala” I hummed a little melody because I felt a bit better. Maki told me that I collapsed in the dressing room. Thanks to Yocchan who called the doctor. He was here this morning and said that my fever has gone. But I should take it easy. Because of the fact that it was really nice outside, I decided to walk around a bit. I played a bit with my yoyo while I was walking.

It was really nice…not cold and not to hot…not many people around…
“Let me go!”
People screaming…Eh?
I didn’t thought of anything until I heard a slapping noise.

“What’s going on there…? Miki?!!!” I shouted when I saw that it was her.
Quickly I ran towards her. A big shadow disappeared in the little street.
“Are you ok?! What happened?!” I asked while trying to get her up.
It failed…she didn’t get up.
“What’s wrong?” I asked and kneeled by side her. She had her cheek covered with her hand. I slowly removed it and was shocked!
“Who did that?!”

Tears were rolling down her cheeks, dropping onto my hand.
She shifted a bit nearer but stopped. I knew what she wanted to do…
I placed my hand onto her back and hugged her tight.

“Aya..!” she screamed with her crying.
“What happened?”
“I wanted to tell him that I don’t want to be with him…but he…” Miki cried harder.
This asshole! “Where is he?!”
Miki shook her head, “I don’t know…” She held me tighter, “I’m sorry Aya…I wanted to tell you…”
I shushed her, “It’s ok…I have over reacted…”
I took her hand and smiled, “We don’t know what he is up to now…so…I’m begging you! Please live with me! I will take care about you!”
Miki looked up at me, “But you need your rest…”
I shook my head, “When you are by my side, safe, I don’t have to worry.”

“If I don’t make too much trouble…” Miki sobbed.
“No! Come…let’s go.”
I gave Miki my sunglasses and put on my cap again, “Wouldn’t be nice if someone would see us like this.” I laughed and placed my arm around Miki’s neck.
She nodded.

“You know? I’m there for you. I do everything for you.” I said and smiled.
Finally, Miki had her smile back on her face.
The most important thing I have to do now…being there for Miki with my heart.
And I hope…I can tell her…when the time is right…
