Chapter 7

Hello again, and welcome to another chapter. So, last weekend I wrote a quick Gakkou Gurashi One-shot so, if you wanna check that out, please do. It sucks though; I was kinda sleepy when I wrote it. Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter.

"E-Ex… girlfriend?"

Hana nodded. Dariko looked at her weirdly. I mean, c'mon, when did that happen? Hana was married to that… man, the last time she saw her. And that was eight years ago. So she got divorced and even got a girlfriend after all that? Did her daughter know? A lot of questions appeared on the silver haired girl's head. And she wasn't sure if she could ask any of them.

"Y-Yeah, she… I met when I went to that maid café a while ago... She was sitting by herself in the counter, just like me. She noticed that I was by myself as well, and went to talk to me. She… said her name was Aki, and that she used to work there when she was younger" the redhead said as she sighed "I… we became friends and she told me she loved me a couple weeks later, so we became a couple… It lasted for three whole years, but then she said she didn't want to be with me anymore. She didn't… she didn't even tell me why…"

"O-Oh…" Dariko didn't know what to say. She didn't really need to say anything though, as she saw the same pink haired woman, 'Aki', walking towards them.

"H-Hana, I-"she started, but stopped once she saw Dariko standing there "O-Oh, um, hi? W-Who are you?"

"I'm… I'm Minami Dariko…" she answered a little unsure "You're… Aki, right?"

"Y-Yeah… I-I'm Hideko Aki"

Dariko thought that woman was far too shy for someone so tall. I mean, she was like, 1,82 or something, for crying out loud. Anyway, she just stood there rubbing the back of her head shyly. Hana looked at her. Then at Dariko. Then at Aki again. She looked at both of them a couple more times and, deciding that she didn't know what to say or do, she ran away with a blush on her face.

"H-Hana-san! Wait!" Dariko said, but it was too late. The redhead entered the hospital and probably locked herself in her office "God damn it…"

"H-hey…" Dariko looked over to the tall woman, who was looking at the ground shyly "So… you are Hana's ex-girlfriend as well… right? I-I-I mean, she said one thing or two about you and… stuff…"

"Yeah, that's me… You look… familiar" the silver haired woman said, feeling a little awkward "Have we… met before?"

"I-I don't know… maybe?" Aki said shyly.

Dariko looked up at the shy woman. She didn't look bad. For what reason did this woman break up with Hana like that?

"Hey, um, can I ask you something?" Dariko asked earning a shy nod from Aki "Why… did you break up with Hana?"

"S-She told you that?" she said a little louder this time "W-Well I… you see, I… I loved her. I really did. But three years after we started dating, my parents came to my house saying they didn't want me to date her anymore. I thought it was weird, since I they didn't seem to mind me dating her when I first told them…"

"Aki, I'm not going to let you date that woman anymore"

Aki stared at her father with a blank expression. It took her couple minutes to process her father's words "W-What? What the hell dad, you can't do that! You don't have the right to-"

"I'm just doing this because I know what's better for you. You're going to be a lot happier with a strong, masculine man that can take care of you, instead of a… woman"

"You don't know what's better for me! I don't want to be with a man, I don't like man! Don't you get it? I love Hana! You can't just… You can't-"

"Aki, that's an order. I can't have my only daughter dating another woman. What kind of image would that bring to our family?! Now listen, you're going to talk to her and that relationship of yours, otherwise I'll do that myself"

"I-I hate you…" Aki said as she started to cry.

"And that's basically it. My father… even after all that, I still loved him. But he died two years ago. Even though he said he didn't want me to be with a woman, I wanted to be happy, so I came after Hana to see if I… could fix everything…" she said "Heh… I-I guess you had the same idea didn't you?"

"Yeah…" Dariko said as she processed the story Aki had just told her "I know how you feel… My parents weren't supportive either. Hell, my mother even made me marry a man and, y'know, I don't like man…"

Aki chuckled. They stayed silent for a couple of seconds until Aki decided to say "Look, I… I'm not going to stop going after Hana. But I'm not going to stop you either. Let's just… ask her to choose between the two of us. Is that good?"

Dariko looked at her and sighed "Yes… yes, I guess we could do that…"

Elizaveta was driving home after a… unexpected evening. Her friend's ex-girlfriend randomly appeared on her doorway, saying she was there to pick up her daughter. And if that wasn't enough, they discovered that her daughter was actually Megumi's daughter's girlfriend, so things were a little messy. She decided to leave and give them some privacy.

Just as she got home, she received a message from Megumi saying that she had sorted things out with Makoto, and they were dating again. She was happy for her friend, but still a little sad since she wasn't able to do the same with her ex-girlfriend. She decided to text her friend Kameko to talk about Megumi and Makoto's relationship.

'Hey Kameko-chan! Guess what? Megumi and Makoto are together again!'

A couple of minutes later, Kameko responded:

'Oh my god, really?! That's so cool! I have to text her now!'

Eliza chuckled as she read her friend's text.

'Take it easy, they just got together, let them, y'know, have their private moments together'

'Heh, I guess you're right. Anyway, gotta go now, talk to you tomorrow, bye 3'

Eliza turned her phone off and started to make dinner, but her mind was filled with pictures of a certain blue haired woman.

'Heh, I guess you're right. Anyway, gotta go now, talk to you tomorrow, bye 3'

Kameko turned her phone off. Right now, she was watching a movie at her girlfriend's house. Katsumi had an arm wrapped around the smaller girl's waist while they quietly watched a random movie while eating some popcorn.

"Kameko-chan" Katsumi suddenly said, making the raven haired woman look at her "I was thinking that… maybe, y'know… maybe you would want to live here, with me…"

Kameko's eyes widened as she processed her girlfriend's works on her mind "W-What?! Katsumi-chan, don't you think it's a little soon to think about that?"

"Well, considering that we dated for a while back in high school, and the fact that the only thing that occupied my mind after we broke up was you, than I'm pretty sure I want you to live with me"

"B-But I… I have four kids Katsumi-chan, I don't know if you would be able to deal with them…"

"I can deal with Honoka and Yukiho just fine, your children will be easy to deal with"

"W-What about your roommate, where is he going to live?"

"Actually, I was going to talk to him after we finish the movie, but I guess I can do that now" Katsumi said as she got up and started to walk towards her roommate's room.

"W-Wait!" Kameko said as she got up and followed her.

Katsumi knocked on the door of her roommate's room "Uh, hey man, I… so I, I just wanted to ask you… you know, I got back together with my girlfriend and stuff, and I kinda wanted her to live here with me, but, y'know, you-" she was interrupted when the door was opened and she saw the tall serious man with a backpack on his back and was holding two hand bags "Oh… thanks man, this means a lot" he gave her a thumbs up and a high-five before leaving.

"I guess we have a spare room now!" Katsumi said smiling at her girlfriend.

"Okay, okay, you win… but this will take a while, I'll have to pack my stuff, and my children stuff and-"

"Hey, don't worry; we're in this together right? I'll help you with everything you need" the taller woman said as she kissed her girlfriend's cheek "And maybe one day… we will have a bigger house, where we can live together happily and, who knows, maybe raise a kid together?"

"K-Katsumi-chan! I think we have enough kids to take care of, don't you think?"

"Hey, it's a possibility. But I'm not going to do anything that you don't want to. I love you" she said.

They hugged for a couple of seconds before Kameko spoke up "Wait, if we're dating, and our daughters are dating as well, doesn't that means that they are sisters and that's, y'know, incest?"

"Don't worry, they're not really sisters, so that's fine, let's not ruin their relationship" she said sighing "Just like you ruined the moment, baka"

Hisoka was at her house watching sitting on her couch peacefully reading a book. The television was on but she wasn't even listening to it. She was concentered on that book that talked about a blonde boy who had a brother that was an empty armor and they were looking for a magic rock. She initially thought it was kind of childish at first, but she learned to love it as she continued to read.

Suddenly she heard her house's door open and her daughter walk in with a blonde girl.

"Mom, I'm home, and I'm with Eli" Umi said.

As soon as the girls reached the living room, Hisoka got up and gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead. She saw Eli and smiled as the blonde girl bowed.

"Excuse me, Ms. Sonoda"

"Don't worry about it dear, you're always welcome here. After all, you're my daughter's girlfriend" Yep, Hisoka knew about their relationship.

Umi took hold of Eli's hand and said "S-So we're going to my room, okay mom?"

"Go on dear, I don't want to bother you two, have fun okay? I'll bring some snacks later for you"

Umi nodded and kissed her mother's cheek. After that, both Eli and she went upstairs to Umi's room.

Hisoka then kept on reading her book.

'I just hope they'll be a little quieter this time… last time I could hear their doings from here…"

"Okay Umi, turn on your computer and call the others"

Umi nodded and turned her computer on. She logged in on Sk*pe and called her friend on a group call.

"Hey Umi-chan!" Kotori said as she turned her webcam on. She was sitting at her room with a sleeping Maki who had her head on her lap.

"Hey Kotori" Umi responded smiling. Just then, Honoka, Rin and Nozomi turned their webcams on as well.

"Hey guys!" Honoka said waving at the camera. Nico stood behind her awkwardly "C'mon Nico-chan, say something" She said, earning a quiet 'leave me alone' from Nico.

"Nya! So cool to talk to you guys through here nya!" I think you know who said that.

"My, Hanyo-chan, come here, you have to share your beautiful face with world" Nozomi said as put Hanayo on her lap, making the smaller girl blush like a bleeding tomato(?).

Eli picked a chair from Umi's room and sat beside her "Okay guys, we called you here so we could plan on how to get Umi's mom and mine together again, since we were successful with Honoka and Nico's mothers"

"And mine too"

"Nozomi, what are you talking about?"

"Well, my mom got home today, saying that she and father got divorced. Then suddenly, Hanayo had the idea to call her mother to pick her up, so she could meet with my mother. And it was totally successful, they're probably making out or something at my mother's bedroom" Nozomi said with a innocent smiled as she earned a quiet 'Nozomi!' from Hanayo as the small girl blushed.

"Holy crap" Nico said as her eyes widened open.

"That's so cool (-nya!)" Honoka and Rin said at the same time.

"Okay now, do you guys have a plan for my mother and Eli's?"

"I think I have something… but I'll have to think about it okay? I think this might be a successful plan…" Anju said as she randomly appeared out of nowhere besides Rin.

"Yuuki Anju? What- What the hell are you doing here? And how do you know about our plans?" Umi asked.

"Well, Rin told me about it once we got home. She also said that my mother and hers were dating in high school, so that would explain why Rin's mother suddenly appeared at my home claiming that she would take my mother on a super-romantic-nya-date or something, so we're here all by ourselves" Anju explained as Rin started hugging her arm.

"My…"

"So what's you plan Anju-san?" Eli asked.

"Okay, so here's what I was thinking…"

Maki woke up as she heard a few voices coming from above her. She looked up and saw her girlfriend listening to a voice that seemed to belong to A-RISE's Yuuki Anju, a.k.a. Rin's girlfriend.

"Kotori…?" The redhead said as Kotori looked down at her and smiled.

"Good morning Maki-chan" she said "You look beautiful when you're asleep"

"C'mon… Are you talking to someone?"

"I'm talking to the girls here. But I muted my microphone so the others could hear what Anju was saying"

"Oh… A-RISE is there too?"

"Well, no, just Anju, since Rin's at her house"

"Hm…" Maki then got up slowly. She surprisingly picked her girlfriend in her arms and carried her bridal style towards Kotori's bed.

"My, you're so bold today Maki-chan!"

"S-Shut up… I just really need to sleep and I need you by my side…" Maki said as Kotori giggled and mumbled a quiet 'Okay' Maki blushed and said "I-I just, um, really need to drink some water okay?" she said and the ash haired girl nodded.

Maki went to Kotori's house's kitchen and got a glass of water for her. She drank it in a hurry and started walking towards Kotori's room once again as she finished.

But she stopped walking once she saw someone opening the front door of the house. She saw Kotori's mom getting in and looking at her with her eyes wide open.

"M-Maki? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"O-Oh, hello Ms. Minami, I… Kotori invited me over and I… I was just drinking some water…"

"Oh, um, okay, so you're staying the night?"

"I-I can leave if you want-"

"No, don't worry, you can stay…"

Maki looked at the older woman and saw that she had a face that had an expression that was something between sad and confused "I'm guessing you had a busy day?"

"You could say that…"

Maki walked towards her with a blush on her face. She got on her tip toes and kissed Dariko's cheek.

"M-Maki?"

"I know I'm not my mother but… maybe this will serve as an incentive for you… please, Ms. Minami, don't give up…" Maki said before walking towards Kotori's room again.

Dariko, again, was speechless.
