Well, I got a little bit more inspired these days with the fanfiction! Thank you for the reviews, people! I was writing this chapter in some boring classes from school. I am looking a bit more for errors in the fanfiction, but I can't help it, I will always commit an error. Sorry about that.
Warning! Very aggressive violence ahead. (I don't know if I said that right.)
'What is her problem...' Mio thought as she arrived the school.
The air today was really heavy. Ritsu tried her best to avoid the bassist, the day before was too embarrassing for her. Also, she needed time to think on what to do with the situation. She wished it were all just a bad dream and nothing had changed between them and that Kouchi had never appeared in their lives.
Mio decided to talk to Mugi to have some advices. She is a perfect person for such topic.
They had a break, the drummer and the main guitarrist decided to walk around the school. Perfect time for Mio to talk to Mugi.
~ Clubroom ~
"What's up, Mio-chan?" The blonde one asks with that perfect smile she has.
"T-There is something... I need to know what to do." She said.
"What is it about?" Mugi was already interested.
"Ritsu." She says with a thick voice and blushing.
"Oh." Mugi had already imagined that it was about that. After all, she noticed how Ritsu was acting these last days everytime she saw or was close to Mio.
Ritsu and Yui were walking around, both were laughing around and having fun. The break they had was something like a free last class. Azusa still had classes.
'Where is Mio and Mugi?' She thought to herself. It was unusual from them to be away for such a long time.
"Ricchan, I wanted to go buy some sweets today, but Azu-nyan will be busy and Ui too, can you go with me? I don't want to go alone." - Yui says.
"Sure, I don't think I have something important to do today."
After Mio explained the situation, Mugi got to a conclusion. She knew exactly what was going on. She was reading a lot of novels and yuri mangas, but even a blind person could understand the situation, and seemed like raven haired was acting stupid on purpous, for Mugi.
"I would say she has feelings for you...?" The keyboardist strangled. "I just think it's kind of obvious." She said smiling.
Mio didn't get it at first.
"Feelings for me? Ritsu? What do you mean exactly?" She asks confused.
"She likes you more than a friend or anything like that. She loves you, Mio-chan." Mugi holds the bassist's hand.
"B-But we are girls... And she likes me in 'that' way?" Mio was shoked.
'T-this can't be happening... how am I even supposed to look in her eyes now...'
"Love is complicated. You shouldn't take it as a bad thing. I know Ricchan and I am sure she wouldn't do anything without your permission. You know her even better than me. She would protect you from every bad thing and bad guy who wants to get close to you in a bad way. If you don't like her in 'that' way back, you should talk to her about it and explain yourself, I bet she will understand it." The keyboardist makes a pause. "Althought Ritsu is really pretty, more like handsome I would say... She is interesting, funny, I guess there are people who would really like to be in your place, Mio-chan." The blonde says that with a bit of blush in her face.
The black haired feels strange when the keyboardist says the last lines. 'Eh? M-Mugi has feelings for Ritsu...? I have this strange feeling inside by knowing this.' Mio looks away with a neutral face.
"I am really confused... I never thought about such a thing before..." Mio said laying her head on the table.
"You have time to think about it, Mio-chan. It must be kind of weird sinc eyou two are best friends since so long time."
'Just with the thinking of kissing her makes me want to hide myself somewhere.' Mio's heart was beating fast.
"Can I ask you something? You don't need to answer if you don't want." Mugy says.
"Sure, say it." The black haired says now looking at the blue eyed girl.
"Have you even kissed before?"
The bassist blinks a few times. 'Why is she asking me this...?'
"O-Of course not! The closest I got from this was having a date with Kouchi... But I am sure I didn't kiss him." The grey eyed replies looking away again.
Mugi raises one eyebrow. "What do you mean with 'I am sure'?" She was confused, Mio haven't told her about what happened that night.
The bell rings meaning the classes were over for today. "Let's go to the clubroom." The amber eyed said.
When they arrive close to the door, Ritsu notices that Mugi and Mio were inside there. 'There they are. They must be a long time there, huh?'
The guitarrist was about to get inside when the drummer held her arm. "Wait Yui, I want to hear what they are talking about." She says in a low voice to the brown haired.
Yui blinks. "Ehh? Doing this is not really cool, Ricchan!" Yui says in a sad voice.
"It includes me, so I guess I have the right to know." Ritsu said while putting hear ear against the door. She heard they talking about saturday night. 'Shit, they was probably talking about sunday too. Mugi is a pro for advices, Mio probably ran to her.'
Azusa arrives there. "What are you two doing here?" She asks in a louder voice.
'Dammit...' Ritsu thinks shortly.
"Azu-nyan!" Yui says while hugging the twin-tailed girl. 'They probably already noticed we are here. No sense in staying here now.' The drummer thinks to herself while opening the door. She felt her body sweating when she saw the bassist. Her heard started beating faster. 'What if she already figured out my feelings for her...?'
The room was quiet. Mugi suddenly breaks that annoying silence. "I'll make the tea." She says getting the stuff.
Mio was still shocked. She looked at Ritsu, which was avoiding eye contact with her. The brunette had a neutral face. 'What should I do...' The raven haired thought.
Time passed and the time to leave was already there. "Can we train tomorrow? We didn't train these last days..." Azusa asked.
"You are right." Mio said. "Let's try doing it tomorrow,then."
Everybody stands up. Mio and Ritsu haven't talk to each other this whole time. 'Oh... We'll have to go home together now. I never wanted so much to go home alone. I have no idea of what to talk about with her.' The dummer thought. Mio had the same thinking. Ritsu was thinking in what excuse she should give to them to go through another way home. 'Oh... that's right.'
"Uh..." She soft-spoken.
They all looked at her. "What is it, Ricchan?" The main guitarrist asked her.
"Are we two not going to the city?" The drummer asked.
"Oh! I totally forgot!" Yui replied.
They were already in the front of the school.
"Girls, I need to go to my grandmother's house, so I am going through another way. Bye, see you tomorrow." Azusa says while leaving.
"Byebye!" All of them said in unison and waving hands.
Mugy then looked at Ritsu and Yui. "Can I join you two? I wanted to go to the city to do some shopping. " The blonde asks.
"Of course, Mugi-chan!" Yui says. Mio felt kinda lonely in that moment.
"Do you want to come too, Mio-chan?" The air-headed asked.
Mio was deciding if she should go or not. 'It's not cool to go home alone, since I am used to go with Ritsu...'
"Should I?" Mio says with a thick voice while looking down.
Mugi takes her hand. "Come too, Mio-chan."
She decides to go.
The day went very well, they bought sweets, went to a music store and went in the final of the day to eat at a coffee shop. It was around 7pm when they all decided to leave the place after 4 capuccinos and some of the sweets Yui bought. The twilight was colorful and brought smiles upon their faces. Mio noticed Ritsu was staring at her the whole afternoon, the brunette was sometimes even spacing out while looking at the bassist, who was feeling unconfortable when that happened. It was strange for Mio, 1 week ago they were normal best friends, sleeping over at each other's houses, changing their clothes together normally when one of them could see them naked, normal friends stuff. They are friends since kindergarten, and "Love" was never turning to be a topic for them.
It was time for all of them to go home, and this time, Mio and Ritsu were going home alone, as they do everyday, but today it would be different.
"I had a real good time today with you guys! See you tomorrow." Mugi said smiling.
"Me too!" Yui said in a silvery voice.
"Byebye!" The guitarrist and the keyboardist said to the bassist and the drummer.
The last ones waved their hands to the two girls, who had already disappeared in the middle of the people.
"The city is full today, huh?" Mio said.
"There is this live music festival close here, it's free. Do you want to see it a bit?" Ritsu asked looking at that grey eyes from the girl who she likes. The girl hesitated for a moment with the question.
"S-Sure. I just need to tell my mother I will be away a bit more." Mio said blushing.
They arrive in the festival. It was full of people, some band was playing a random song. Both girls felt home with all of the music mood. Mio smiled when she noticed they were playing a song she likes.
"Ritsu Ritsu! Look at these expensive instruments they have!" Mio was getting excited with everything.
Ritsu was happy seeing her friend jumping around. 'I guess we will stay here for a while.' The drummer thinks.
Some time passed and it was already the third band.
"Mio, do you want to drink something?" The brunette asks the raven haired.
"Yes, I am thirsty." She replied.
Mio was already sweating after some songs she liked. Ritsu wasn't sweating so much, she was just staring at her friend the whole time. 'I bet she didn't even notice when I was looking at her for a while.'
Mio was concentrated on the band while Ritsu was buying water for them. That's when someone called her.
"Mio? Hey!" Someone said. The black haired looked behind and saw Kouchi with some friends. "What are you doing here alone?" Kouchi had a big mark on his face. He had in his right side of the face a blue eye and in the other side a wound.
"Ah... Hey... I am not actually alone, there is a friend with me." She says feeling a bit of fear for being alone in that moment.
"Well, your friend just left you behind huh? I will do some company to you. See you later, guys."
His friends went away. Mio was still a bit insecure. 'Where is Ritsu..? Will she be back soon?' She was looking around.
Ritsu got two bottles of water for both. Ritsu was feeling fine after a strange day. At least the final of the day was compensating the rest.
She was already arriving at the place that Mio was when she saw a guy by the bassist's side. She then noticed it was Kouchi. 'What is this asshole doing here.'
"Look, I am sorry about that night, we were drunk and I couldn't control myself, I promise that what happened there will never repeat again. I really wish I could go out with you once again to try to show you who I really am. I really like you." He said holding both of her hands.
Mio was blushing. But she knew she couldn't trust him. Ritsu was looking in just some meters away from them.
"Sorry but... I don't want anymore..." Mio said moving her hands away.
"Why?" He asked getting closer.
"I... I-I am in love with someone else, okay?" She said as an excuse.
"Can I know who is this person?"
"Why do you want to know? It's none of your business..." She said blushing.
"Because it seems to be just an excuse. Until last weekend, you didn't seem to love someone, but now you just do, suddenly." He says getting even more closer.
That was the time Ritsu arrived and pushed him away. "Don't you feel ashamed of what you did? You are a fucking pig." She said pointing at him. "Don't you feel bad for these wounds you have on your face, all left by a girl?"
"You! It was you! You are a fucking bitch." Kouchi had anger in his eyes. Looked like he was just about to kick Ritsu's ass.
"Guys, stop fighting. And Kouchi, I told you already. I don't want anymore, so please, leave me alone." Mio said getting between the two.
Kouchi and Ritsu were silent for a moment.
"This is not over..." He said and then went away.
Ritsu rolled her eyes.
"Here is your water." The amber eyed gave the water to the bassist. "Do you want to go home?"
"Yeah... Let's go." The black haired said while opening the bottle of water.
They were in the middle of the way. Both were talking about something trivial when Ritsu heard something behind them. She felt they were being followed since the they went out of the festival. "Let's go a bit more quick." She said with a worried voice. They started walking a bit faster. The streets were darker in this part of the city. 'We should have taken the longer way...' She thought to herself. Mio was also afraid that a murder or a robber was following both of them. Their hearts were beating fast. They were mostly running in the moment.
Arriving at the street corner, they could see a group of boys standing in the other side of the street. Mio and Ritsu had to walk there, the other two sides of the streets were going to take nowhere. The both girls stopped and looked at the boys standing there looking at them. They seemed to be punks, holding big pieces of wood sticks and empty alcohol bottles. Ritsu counted around 10 boys or more there.
"Let's cross the street." Ritsu said in a taut voice.
When they started doing it, the boys moved to the middle of the stret.
"Hey brave girl, come over here and beat us up. I dare you." One of them said.
They started talking and laughing.
"This little shit fucked up with Kouchi's face? He indeed is a pussy."
"That will be easy."
"They tall one is mine, she is beautiful."
"Isn't the black haired the one Kouchi wanted to fuck with? She really have big boobs, just like he said."
They were getting closer to the girls.
"Where do you think you two little girls are going?" The one that seemed to be the leader got in the way of both.
"What do you want?" Ritsu boldly said.
They laughed. The guy pushed Ritsu making her fall. Mio didn't know what to do. It was more than 10 boys against 2 girls. She had tears on her eyes. Ritsu looked at her. "You'll be fine." The brunette said quietly.
"Let us go..." Mio said with a brittle voice. She was about to cry.
"Do it, guys." The leader said while holding Mio and her mouth for her not to ask for help.
The group started hitting Ritsu with kicks and also with the wood sticks. She was moaning and screaming of pain, trying to protect her face with her arms, which were getting completely hurt already. Her face was vulnerable now. Wounds were appearing more and more on her, blood could also be visible on the sticks. She was crying for help and was almost fainting of pain. Mio was crying and trying to go away from the guy's arms. It was the most painful thing for her to watch her childhood friend being broken like that.
After a minute or two, the leader decided it was already too much "Stop." He said.
All of the boys stepped back.
"Learn to never mess with people like us again, little brat." He let Mio go, who was in complete shock. She knelt down by Ritsu's side.
"Ritsu!" She screamed.
Ritsu was bleeding a lot, she could barely move.
"Can we have our dessert now?" They said looking at the leader.
"Let the girl be." He said. The boys complained for some seconds. "Let's go now before someone sees us."
The boys went away, leaving the two girls there, in the dark street, where not a single soul passed by.
