Another Day in Paradise

Chapter 7


"You're best off sitting down Azusa...I can't play if you're that close"

Azusa felt herself go deep beat red as she scrambled back and sat down on the nearest chair in front of Yui. "Okay"

Yui took in a deep breath. "Thank you. Now, This is a song I wanted to play for you"

She exhaled. "So, here we go-"

The micro-second the first few chords of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters reached her ears, Azusa almost felt like her emotions were being charged up in a positive way from Yui...It was as though...Yui's feelings were being magnified by the song.

Yui took in a deep breath time and again. "So close, no matter how far..." She started as the song led her forwards. "Couldn't be much more from the heart...Forever trusting who we are...And nothing else matters" Yui closed her eyes as the song powered her forward with each and every chord that she played.

As the song came to the halfway mark, Ui nudged her head around the corner of the open door and smiled to herself having no need to interrupt so she left the room very quietly.

Azusa sat in silence. Nothing but a smile on her face as she listened to every word that Yui sung and sung the song with such...Well, it was perfect. That would be a better word. Perfect...

As the song finally finished, Yui stopped playing and opened her eyes to see Azusa...Rather close to her face with her eyes glittering.

"Thank you Yui...I mean it..."

Yui gulped. "You're...You are welcome Azusa...I just hope I-"

But Yui didn't get to finish her sentence for Azusa had kissed her on her quivering lips so gently that it felt...It felt like a dream.

As Azusa pulled away she went almost into a bashful pose. "Uhh...I should've asked first...I'm sorry I stole your first ki-"

Azusa was silenced by Yui's lips on hers almost in the same instance.

[Meanwhile on the stairs]

Ui had heard the two kisses occur and was silently trying to do everything in her power from walking in on them.

'Onee-chan has a right to be happy...But what about...No, Azusa needs this. Should I really be? No, I shouldn't be. I'd better get dinner ready!'

Ui shook her head and headed downstairs again, this time to the kitchen to create dinner.

[Following Day]

After the dinner and the cheeky smiles Ui kept sending Yui, the three of them felt closer then before. It almost felt...

Like they were a family of their own.

Azusa bit her lower lip as she glanced at Ui, watching the younger Hirasawa get dressed for the school day ahead. "What are we...Doing today again?"

Ui only had to take one look at Azusa and her heart melted. "It's just getting you back up to speed with school stuff. I trust you remembered your ID?"

Azusa nodded.

"That's good. Now if-"

Both Azusa and Ui heard a yell from Yui's room as there was an ear piercing thud/smash from the room.

Ui sighed. "Onee-chan? What's going on in there!?" She said through the wall.

Azusa giggled.

A few seconds later, the response came.

"N-Nothing Ui! I Just tripped over Guita! I never..."

Ui frowned. "You have a lot of cleaning up to do when we come home later!"

A moan came from the wall which had Azusa giggle again.

"But Uiii!" Yui's wine-ing voice came back again. "I've got Club activites today!"

Ui looked over to Azusa and smirked. "Then you can take Azusa with you!"

[Yui's Room]

Yui lit up like a brand new light bulb, with a big wide grin that Azusa would have felt weak in her knees for. "SURE!"

[Ui's Room]

Azusa bit her lip again, very nervous. "Is that alright?"

"Well, duh, of course it is! Now where did I leave...Crap...Ummm...Azusa...Can you leave the room for a bit while I find my skirt?"

Azusa went red as she nodded and bolted out of the room into the corridor, leaving a giggling Ui behind. "I'm-I'm sorry!"

"We're both girls! It's okay! I would have MURDERED you if you were a guy!"

Yui looked over to the now red Azusa as she came around the corner. "A guy? Where? I'll have 'em!"

Azusa sighed. "Its okay...Alarm over...Seriously though Yui, where DID you come from? That was like LIGHTNING!"

Yui smiled smugly. "Ah-ha! Looks like Azusa is all red...What did Ui do to you then? Hmmmm?"

Azusa was blushing like a red fire extinguisher again in moments. "I have no-No id-idea what yo-you're on about!"

Yui laughed. "It's okay Azusa. Hey...I've got a new name for you..."

Azusa blinked. "Yeah?"

"First, try meowing"

Azusa blinked in confusion. "Eh?"
