Another gloomy day

Another gloomy day. It was pouring cats and dogs, but would that stop Deunan from her daily walk? Certainly not. It was, after all, her rare day off from being Hitomi's body guard. Or rather, bodyguard of #1 singing sensation "Hit Me!"

"What a masquerade." Deunan thought. Ever since she became a singer, Hitomi had been unbearable. Demanding expensive food and drink, the constant jewelry. And every time Deunan asked her out for a beer, Hitomi blew her off for a photo shoot. She had become someone completely different.

"Still," Deunan sighed. "I guess I was a little harsh calling her disgusting." the rain only helped remind her of that quarrel the day before Hitomi had finally promised to get a drink with Deunan, but suddenly turned and said "can't. Photo shoot!" and Deunan exploded at her. After calling her a disgusting pig, stormed out.
Deunan sighed, lamenting her earlier action. She didn't mean it, but to have her only chance shot down like that. Extremely frustrating.

As she continued wondering whether or not Hitomi would talk to her again, she didn't notice how much harder the rain had gotten. the sound it made could rival that of summer cicadas. However, over all this, she could hear someone crying. She stopped and looked up. Just in front of her was Hitomi, sitting at an empty bus stop. She was in a soaking wet black dress, and crying her heart out. Even with the rain, the sobs were near deafening to Deunan. She took the seat next to Hitomi and waited until she realized Deunan was there.

"Deunan...?" she asked in disbelief once she looked up. Deunan embraced her, gently laying Hitomi's head against her bosom.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled." Hitomi's face was pink, almost red even. She put her arms tight around Deunan and relaxed against her.

"No, you were right. I made a promise then broke it. It's my fault." Deunan smiled reassuringly, but Hitomi wasn't going to forgive herself that easily. She averted from Deunan's gentle gaze and stared at a puddle in the street made by the storm. "I really have changed into something horrible, haven't I?"

"Hitomi, look at me." obediently Hitomi looked up at Deunan and felt Deunan's lips pressed against her forehead for just a few fleeting seconds. "I love you and there's nothing you can do to get rid of me, so suck it up."

Hitomi finally started to smile and hugged Deunan even tighter. Deunan lifts Hitomi's chin and kisses her passionately before the movie screen in my mind goes black and the story ends.
