Chapter One
=====

=====
A/n: Hey guys! This is a multi-chap YayaxTsubomi story, and it's actually a remastered version of my first fanfiction I ever made. The original had around 20 chapters, but I'm shortening it down and I rewrote the plot a bit because it was quite OC. So I hope I can bring the dying SP-fandom back to life again by spicing up the page a little :3 SP mustn't die!

Like I said, just a story about YayaxTsubomi, how their relationship evolves and how, eventually, things will always be alright. It's all a bit fluffy, but I hope you will all enjoy it :3

A Wild Tsundere Appears!

"Are you coming to choir practice today, Yaya-chan?" the soft voice of Hikari asked, while she settled herself down next to Yaya. They were at the library, which was quite empty. Usually, when it rained, the library would be full of people, but today was different for some reason.

The rain slowly drizzled down the windows, making the interior of the library seem even more dull, sober and dusty. Some girls shuffled around behind the bookshelves, talking in hushed whispers.

Yaya looked up from her book and looked straight into the light blue, somewhat sad eyes of Hikari. She stared a little before she answered: she could still drown in those eyes of her, even though they didn't belong to her. They would never be, and they hadn't been hers from the start.

"Well, I don't know yet. Lately I'm not really in the mood for singing." she said, as she closed her book with a soft thud. She turned around in her chair to fully face Hikari. God, how beautiful she was. Long, blonde, curly hair, those innocent blue eyes, always that soft blush on her cheeks. And oh, her angelic voice. Yaya mentally slapped herself. Hikari was Amane's, she should've known by now. But moving on was the hardest part of all, though Amane and Hikari were together for quite some time.

Yaya didn't want to think about it, and, banishing the thoughts, she looked down. She grimaced and then looked up again, meeting the pleading gaze of Hikari. The Spican sighed deeply and turned her head back around the other way, breaking their eye contact.

"Yaya-chan."

"Hmm?"

"You have to come to practice." Hikari said softly, almost frightfully.

"Says who?"

"The teacher. She said that there would a new choir member today and we all have to come and welcome her."

Yaya didn't know whether to believe this or not. She wasn't paranoid, but knowing Hikari, she would do anything to keep her from ditching choir. She'd do anything to keep her from harming herself, from over thinking, from wallowing in self-pity. Though those times were long gone already, Hikari was still on edge.

Still not facing Hikari, Yaya experienced a new feeling toward the blonde, something she barely felt before. She hinted some annoyance among all the adoration in her heart. Couldn't she just shut up and leave, have a little one-on-one time with Amane? Couldn't she see that she wanted to be left alone? Why else would I be in the library? Yaya thought. Blinking, she couldn't help but frown, but she felt a smile tug on the corners of her lips. She felt something new, something negative. This might be a good sign, she grinned.

Trying to keep a straight face, she sighed heavily and turned back around to look Hikari in her eyes.

"Alrighty then. But only because you asked so nicely." Yaya joked, her trademark grin plastered back on her face.

Hikari, being the emotional girl she was, was overjoyed. She nearly squealed, fiercely hugged Yaya and then ran off again, back into the rainy weather outside. Watching the blonde running off, the older Spican shook her head lightly, smiling gently.

Letting out a satisfied sigh, she grabbed her books and checked them out at the counter. Getting her umbrella out of a rack, the raven-haired girl walked out the library doors. Rain patted softly on the purple umbrella, and somehow, it smelled like freshly mowed grass outside. Yaya closed her eyes, took a deep breath and smiled. For the first time she smiled a genuine, happy smile. She'd almost forgotten the feeling.

It was going to be a good day today.

As Yaya walked into the church she was almost immediately greeted by Hikari, who happily smiled at her. Honestly, sometimes she could be like a pet that followed you around all day.

"Well hello to you too." Yaya said as she hung her white overcoat and umbrella on the coat rack, shaking the rain off the device first before she did so. The tip of her purple umbrella was still dripping with rain, leaving dark, wet stains on the church floor. "Why're you so happy?"

Hikari blushed lightly, and stared down at the floor. "Well, you came… I-I… um, actually didn't think you would come, though you said so, and, well-"

"Now why would I do that?" Yaya laughed, interrupting her. They laughed a bit, genuinely laughed. That's something they hadn't been able to do because of the so often awkwardness that hung between her and the blonde. Some of that now just washed away, and things were heading toward better times. Yaya even had the occasional conversation with Amane. Those little chats were about all the obvious things, and it didn't went as smooth as a real conversation, but, it was a start.

"Now, where's the rookie?" Yaya said, as she and her best friend walked over to the main stage, where most of the other members had gathered already. She proceeded to stand on her toes to see over the choir members.

Frowning, she dropped back down on her feet, turning back to Hikari. The moment she wanted to say something to the blonde she saw the new member walking through the massive church doors.

The whole choir turned en masse to the new member, stopping their conversations abruptly, and they were now quietly whispering to each other, ever so often pointing at the roseate-haired girl who kept walking on, coming closer to the rest of the choir. Her amber eyes shot back and forth, noticeably uncomfortable, but she kept walking straight. Yaya's and the unknown girl's eyes met for a second, making Yaya's frown disappear; a wide grin now played on her lips. This could be fun.

Yaya had to admit, even though the self-conscious look on the girls' face didn't appeal to her, she looked good. Her rose-coloured hair shone brightly from the rain, framing her face, some wet locks stuck to her face. A light, red blush was spread across her face, making her look quite adorable.

"Hikari-senpai." Tsubomi greeted Hikari once she was close enough, curtly bowing in respect of her senpai. Yaya got a bit confused; how could Hikari already know this person? She thought she was totally new to this school, transfer student or something like that. Why hadn't she seen the girl before if she was already in Spica?

Yaya shook her head lightly to make it clear, trying not to look to stupid in front of the new person facing her. A toothy grin flashed across her face as the petite girl made eye contact again, only to break it quickly and blush afterwards. Yeah, this could be fun.

"Tsubomi-chan," Hikari greeted back at her and, giving a nod towards Yaya, added, "have you met Yaya-chan already?"

"Tsubomi, huh?" Yaya softly whispered to herself, finding the name a tad funny but nice at the same time. She mouthed the name again, finding the tone very comfortable. She grinned again at the kouhai as she walked a little bit closer to the pink-haired girl, curtly bowing, merely out of courtesy.

"Nanto. Yaya Nanto." she said out of habit, feeling a little bit awkward for blurting out such polite things. If it were for Yaya, she would've high fived the girl on the spot.

"Okuwaka Tsubomi." the pinkette replied, as she bowed lightly, but also blushed yet again. Yaya noticed the girl looking at her from underneath her bangs and she flashed yet another grin at the girl. Tsubomi broke the eye contact again, much to Yaya's delight. Something in the pit of the latter's stomach was bubbling with some sort of anxiety. It would be so fun to tease this girl.

Tsubomi stood straight again, and she took in every detail of Yaya, who was now looking in every direction but hers and very much pretending not to notice the other girls' eyes roaming over her.

But she saw the way the smaller girl's eyes followed the strands of her long black hair that fell over her shoulders, down to the choir outfit she wore and then the pause that followed when her amber eyes fell upon her long, slender legs, and remained there for quite some time. Yaya only grinned as she saw Tsubomi's cheeks redden.

"You like what you see, hmm?" Yaya bluntly stated, causing poor Tsubomi to visibly back away, a blush racing up to her cheeks. But, unexpectedly, her eyes shot up to Yaya's with a calm, offended glint in it, though deep down in them, there was embarrassment.

"Hmpf. As if." she plainly said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh, come on now," the black-haired Spican replied, stalking closer to Tsubomi, bending over to level her face with the other girl, "you don't have to be ashamed." she whispered with a grin.

Tsubomi's face instantly heat up even more, a big red blush now adorning her face. She stood there for a moment, not sure what to say. Her eyes were narrowed down to an angry glance but her nervous body language said differently. Yaya's eyes glinted. So our little Tsubomi-chan was the tsundere type. Hard on the outside, but a softie on the inside.

"Will you all please get your lyrics, we will begin any minute soon." the teacher said to the noisy girls, letting Tsubomi off the hook for now.

Yaya, glad to have an excuse to get away, walked to the coat rack to get her lyrics out of her bag, a crooked smile still on her face. She didn't know what this feeling meant, but she at least knew it felt good and safe, and a little bit exciting. The feel was starting to overpower her. Getting her thoughts back on track, she opened her bag, searched it through but couldn't find the lyrics. The tall girl grimaced, closed her bag and walked towards the teacher.

The sensei was talking to Tsubomi for a bit, and Yaya instantly knew what the teacher had in mind for the girl. She had to introduce herself too when she joined the choir. She hadn't mind it back then, but reading Tsubomi's wrecked expression, she figured that the pinkette would have a little bit more trouble with that then she had back then.

"Excuse me, sensei." Yaya carefully chimed in when the conversation seemed to be over.

"Yes, Nanto-san?"

"I forgot my lyrics. Gomen ne." she said, bowing lightly. From underneath her bangs, she eyed Tsubomi, who was still busy with her lyrics, the tip of her tongue poking out from between her lips, giving quite an adorable sight. Yaya smiled and looked back at the teacher.

"Well," the teacher began, looking around vaguely, as if there was a solution to the problem in the air, "you can share lyrics with Okuwaka-san."

Tsubomi, who was reading her lyrics, seemed to paralyze on the spot. Yaya had to try her best not to burst out laughing: she managed to snort and make it sound like a little cough. The roseate-haired girl narrowed her eyes at Yaya.

"Sure thing." Yaya said, shrugging. Sharing lyrics with Tsubomi. That meant that she had to look over her shoulder. She grinned mischievously.

"Yaya, if you will go and stand with the other girls, I'll finish my conversation with Okuwaka-san and then we can start."

A/n: so this was just a little prologue from Yaya's point of view, just to set a start. And because this is all that I could make from the original part without leaving out too much. I still want the original structure. Next up will be a prologue-ish thingy from Tsubomi's perspective. For those who are interested in the original, go visit my deviant Art account, but I warn you: it is very badly written. But it's fun to compare to now though :3

Hope you liked this, and I will update as soon as possible! Read&Review, please? That would make me a very, very happy girl :3
