"Pardon my intrusion.."
"Naw, Riko-chan~ You don't need to be so formal you knoow."
"I- It's fine, it's common sense after all."
"Ohoo~, you city girl." Chika teased her. But her friend paid no attention to her words. In fact her eyes all this time were focused on the living being that was staring back at her.
*gulp*
"P- Pardon my intrusion.." Riko mumbled, head bowing slightly. Chika who overheard that only wondered why would Riko said it twice. And then she found out that her friend was looking at the dog.
"Shiitake is a good boy though."
"A- Ah? Is that so? Ha.. Ahaha.."
Chika only tilted her head. "Just come on in already, Riko-chan." She said before leaving Riko at the guest's entrance.
Riko peeked at Shiitake once again before following Chika to her room.
"I'm home~" Chika greeted a bit loud.
"Oh? Chika-chan, welcome home."
"Mito-nee is working, huh.." Chika muttered, walking to her sister and embraced her. "Yep~" Her sister replied, embraced her youngest sister back.
"Oh, right, Shima-nee-chan," Chika let go of her sister. "Riko is here to visit again."
"The Tokyo girl? Ara~, welcome, Riko-chan." She greeted Riko who was already inside.
Riko-chan?! Riko was surprised being called by her first name already. They're really sisters.. Riko thought to herself, seeing Chika's sister giving the same vibe as her, despite the difference in age.
"U-Uhm, thanks for having me." She said, bowing again to another Takami's residence.
"Oh my, how gorgeous."
"I know right~ Just like Ojou-sama!" Chiko agreed with her sister. Riko could only laugh sheepishly at their ranting.
...
"What's wrong, Riko-chan? You've been staring at me for quite long, you know." Chika said. Riko who was staring startled a bit.
"N- No, just wondering how similar you are with your sister."
"Really? I don't get that a lot but well, we're sisters after all." Chika answered, grinning cheerfully. Being told like that somehow made her happy.
"I see.. I guess so." Riko said in agreement.
Yeap, there's no way telling her that I was thinking how cute Chika is in casual clothes.
"So, how's it going?" Chika asked.
"Ah, yes, I think I can try to play this out."
"Really? Then let's go!" Chika beamed, jumping from her bed, dragging Riko who got confused what was wrong Chika.
"Go where?" Riko cried out.
"To your house of course!"
"...Eeh?"
...
Riko sighed to herself, before opening the door and let Chika come inside. "Come in.."
"Pardon my intrusioon~" Chika said happily. She even already took off her sandals and walked away by herself.
"Chika, don't skip!" Riko yelled, afraid her friend would be careless and fall when skipping. It was normal to be excited and all but still..
She's way too energetic. Riko sighed once again. Although a smile was formed on her face. Having a friend visiting over somehow was also exciting to her.
After guiding Chika to her room on the upstairs, Riko revealed her room to Chika and let her in.
"Woow~ So Tokyo-ish." Chika mumbled. Riko only chuckled hearing that word. "Tokyo-ish? What's with that."
"Yeah, I mean, Riko-chan's room gives the impression of how Tokyo's girls room look like! Hence, Tokyo-ish!
"Pft- Ahahaha~!" They both laughed. Riko thought that having Chika around was so much fun. Ever since she transferred into Uranohoshi High, ever since she met Chika on the seaside, Riko was always having so much fun.
Who would've thought someone's presence had this much impact. Riko thought. She somehow recalled her first encounter with Chika.
"Just like a fate."
"Hm?"
"Our encounter, that is." Riko smiled. Chika wondered for a second that was out of nowhere, but she understood what was that about.
"You said it." Chika too, smiled at Riko.
Riko changed her clothes before they got into business. Of course she didn't let Chika to look at her when she was changing.
"It's fine isn't it. I did see your panties when I lifted your skirt, after all~"
"T- That's not fine at all! And I wouldn't let you do that either next time!" Riko argued back, her face reddened a bit.
"Boo~" Chika let her tounge out.
Riko ignored Chika's childish act and moved over to the piano. She took out the sheet music from her bag and put it in front of her. She would start playing it since she was ready, but something felt off.
"W- What are you staring at..?" Riko asked. Her eyes met with the ruby colored ones. And the owner was peering through the piano.
"Ah, sorry. I just thought that Riko-chan's clothes is cute. And I also wanted to see you from up close." Chika explained. And that succeed on giving Riko a little heart attack.
She said cute!
"Is that a no?" She asked, her eyes were showing so much excitement and expectations that Riko couldn't abandon. That's the second attack.
"It's fine, but don't get in the way." Chika cheered 'yeay' before letting herself sat next to Riko.
"Uh..."
"I can, right~?" The third one.
Again, Riko couldn't answer anything but a single nod.
She took a breath, readying herself once more before started playing. Chika was astonished by the piano's sounds. But she was more stunned by the one who was playing it. Riko was sparkling. She could see her enjoying herself. Every notes that Riko played sounded beautiful to Chika's ears. Amazing, was the word that Chika let out from her mouth.
After finished playing, Riko tried to catch some air before facing Chika.
"How.. was it?"
Chika cheered her loudly. "Riko-chan, amazing! I know I've seen you once but to think seeing it from up close is so different is just.. just.. awesome!" Chika exclaimed. She was so enthusiastic towards Riko's performance.
"You're exaggerating." Riko answered. She could feel her face heated up a bit from Chika's praising.
"So.. I assume that it was to your liking?" Riko asked with her blushing face.
"Uhm, totally!" Chika beamed. Riko also smiled after hearing that. "You're amazing, I like Riko-chan so much!"
Embraced with a hug, Riko couldn't take the final attack and nearly fainted.
Khh... Please don't say things like that so easily Chika, I beg you! Riko screamed on her mind.
But somehow Chika's hug just getting tighter. "C-Chika?!"
"Thank you, Riko-chan."
"Eh?"
"Thank you for coming to Uranohoshi."
Riko could feel the warmness increased and touched Chika's hand. "If it's not for Chika who came for me, I don't think this would happen. So, thank you, Chika."
*sniff*
Riko could feel Chika nodded on her shoulder. She moved her hand moved to Chika's hair and start stroking it.
Really, thank you, Chika.
A/N: I was confused about the ending, tbh. That bad? ...My apologies, then.
