Yaya sat beside the Astraea hill fountain quietly. The virgin Mary statue was carved behind her into a rock side. She was thinking about Hikari being alone with Amane and what they were up to.

She hated it that Hikari always ignored her for Amane nowadays; how could she like a person who treated her like a squealing fan girl and an immature kid. She didn't deserve Hikari and never would; she was too uptight and cruel with her words. She never thought about how her actions or words hurt those around her.

"Yaya-chan!" a voice cried out loudly snapping her out of her thoughts.

She looked up to see a worried looking Hikari. Her hair was slightly messy, she was slightly out of breath and her cheeks were flushed red. From her present state she had obviously been looking for her for a while.

"Thank goodness I was really worried about you" Hikari said relieved. If something bad had happened to Yaya she never would have forgiven herself.

Yaya sighed heavily in an irritated tone and looked away from Hikari crossly "I needed some headspace" she explained coldly. She didn't want to face Hikari right now...not in this state.

She hated being so mean to Hikari; but she was hurting her deeply with her actions and pushing her away for Amane. It seemed that nowadays Amane was all she spoke about like a damn broken record.

Hikari held one hand to her chest and tightened it into a fist "Why are you acting so strangely Yaya-san? You're so short tempered and mean all the time" she said worriedly.

Yaya bowed her head sadly her sadness, hate and jealousy overwhelming her. She couldn't hold back her feelings anymore...she hated being ignored; especially by her precious Hikari.

"Why her?" Yaya whispered coldly with an angry tone. She didn't want to hold back anymore; she had kept quiet about her feelings for long enough and now it was time to free the beast.

Hikari was shocked by this and taken aback by Yaya's comment "Yaya-chan?" she said worriedly.

Yaya got to her feet quickly and glared at Hikari angrily scaring her. She held her hands either side of her clenched into fists "Why did it have to be Amane? What's so damn important about that narcissistic bitch? All she does is ignore you and treat you like a kid!" she screamed angrily.

Hikari was shocked by Yaya's attitude. She had never seen her act this way before and it scared her. She knew she had been spending a lot of time with Amane lately but she just admired her so much.

Tears began to spill over Yaya's cheeks but she didn't care anymore. She wanted to let Hikari see the pain she had been causing her all this time "I've always supported you! I helped you join the Spica choir, I helped you feel more confident and speak your mind! I looked after you when you first arrived here even though anyone else could have done it!" She snapped bitterly.

Hikari's eyes widened as she saw her best friend falling to pieces in front of her. She was breaking apart like broken glass and it was scaring her. How had she not known about any of these feelings wasn't she supposed to be close to Yaya?

"Every time you were in danger I would come looking for you! If Kaname and Momomi would bully you I always came to save you! I'd stay up late worrying about you if you weren't home by curfew!" Yaya spat venomously.

Hikari backed away slightly; She was so afraid that Yaya would push her over or something. She was so used to seeing a smiling, happy and confident Yaya that this was a huge shock to her. She hadn't realized Yaya was hurting so much.

Yaya clutched her hands to her chest tightly for support; she could feel herself wanting to break down but she had to convey all her feelings to Hikari. To make her understand the agony and emotional pain she was causing her all this time.

"E...Everything I have done for you; I wanted so bad to stop you from going on that date with Amane. Make you miss the train or even turn off your alarm so you'd sleep in...and more! It hurt so much that you left me alone like that and just ran off happily ignoring me. I've even put up with your incessant rants about her EVERYDAY!" Yaya wept angrily her body trembling with rage and fear.

"Yaya-san" Hikari whispered quietly her voice squeaky. She could feel her eyes stinging but she wouldn't allow herself to cry. She felt so awful hearing all this pain she had caused Yaya but she couldn't change what she had done.

She knew Yaya was often grumpy or avoided subjects but she never knew it was because she was jealous. If she had known about how much talking about her senpai would upset her than she would have stopped or spoken to someone else about it. But she didn't know...because Yaya never said this.

"Can't you see I've been beside you all this time. I've cared for you, protected you and even supported you throughout Amane. I've put my dreams and needs on the shelf to make sure your happy because..." Yaya croaked bitterly her voice now hoarse from yelling.

"Yaya-san I..." Hikari whispered a tear spilling down her cheek. Her emotions would no longer let her be brave; she had to cry now because guilt was beginning to kick in. She was starting to see how selfish she had been and never realized it; how could she have been so selfish.

"I love you Hikari" Yaya whispered loudly and covered her mouth to stifle her sobs. She couldn't take back these words now...it was too late to undo what she had done. But she didn't care; as long as Hikari knew the truth.

Hikari's eyes widened large and her mouth dropped open. Everything stopped and she lost senses of her surroundings. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Yaya covered her eyes and ran past Hikari sobbing hard. She headed towards the woods so she could hide. She wanted to be alone now with her pain and anger; she didn't want to see Hikari's face because she was angry at her...and angry at Amane.

Hikari stood there quietly for a while still lost in the moment. After Yaya disappeared she fell to her knee's and whispered "Yaya-san...loves me?"
