Black Rose Chapter 9:
Festive Occasions and Crazy people (part 2-3)
I'm not done with this story yet; I have more that has to do with possible moe traits that I've captured. I do thank anyone who reads my silly story, seriously I do like my story a lot and I just wish you guys could read it too. Anywho, Lets Rock!
Makoto looked at her love Hikari as she sat her down at the couch and saw the serious look on her face. Hikari then moved the hair that revealed her blue eye. Makoto gasped at the sight of her beautiful friend.
"No way! Your eyes!" said Makoto as a smile crept on her face
"Damn! girl is sweet and cute, but sometimes she's so clueless!" The lovesick puppy thought to herself
"Okay, Makoto this is serious, we need to talk!" said Hikari in an angry tone
Makoto stopped and sat perfectly still as the smile disappeared from her face.
"Makoto, you are a kind, sweet, and gentle person and I love spending time with you,but...but I just can't be your girlfriend!" Hikari quickly hugged the silver haired girl as she began to break down and cry uncontrolably. Makoto had some idea of what was happening, she was going to tell her about Sayuri again. Makoto wished her Kari-chan wouldn't talk about her so much, she wanted Hikari, she needed her.
"I don't know what to do about this!" Hikari shouted, tears still rolling down her face
Makoto remained silent...Hikari looked at her. Makoto was standing up, her expression was angry
"Makoto?" whispered Hikari as she dried the tears on her face. Makoto simply leaned down and kissed her love on the lips with a lot of thought in her mind "What is she doing?" Makoto stopped and then backed off of Hikari.
"Makoto,why-" but the redhead was cut off by the jealous girl
"I can't take it any more!" Makoto screamed
Hikari looked puzzled at her friend, trying to comprehend what was going on in that head of hers
"But Makoto-chan, I told you, I love Sayuri, but I don't think she likes me that way!" Hikari wipped the tears away from her face as she started regaining her composure.
"You always talk about her! But what about me? I told you about that I was in love with you too Hikari!" she screamed
"Why do you say that anyways? I'm not beautiful, lots of people make fun of me all the time, and I'll never be as great a musician as Sayuri, no matter what I'll always be like this, chasing something I can't have, with a special ugliness all her own!"
Makoto sat back down and embraced her love intrest "Hikari, I love you...And not just beause you've been teaching me how to play the guitar, you are the sweetest person that I have ever met."
"You think so?" the redheaded girl asked
"I know so!" Makoto answered as she moved the hair that covered Hikari's left eye again so that she could look at Hikari's bule and gold eye. Hikari finally felt at ease as Makoto locked lips with Hikari and this time, Hikari did not try to stop her.
Makoto turned a crimson red and giggled "Um,could you come to my room,please?"
"Uh, sure!" Hikari answered almost dumbfoudnedly
and with that the two walked upstairs, towards Makoto's room

Mayumi was walking into Sayuri's room to see if she were there, no signs of her goofy friend anywere. She looked around and noticed the sheets of paper that had a song Sayuri must have been writing.
"No, she's not here" Mayumi told Ren, who had been looking for Sayuri, she needed someone to play with...
"Where is that girl? she never stays gone this long!" Ren sat down to a glass of her fancy wine.
"Do you have any idea of where she could be ?" The shy drummer asked
"Hmmm..Either she would be at the music store or trying to get her hands on some sweets at Natsumi's place" the ecentric mom said with a giggle
"Right, I will get on that soon!" said Mayumi as she exited the house of her missing friend

Mayumi made it to her first stop, where she would meet up a the mall with Akari Yumichika and they would disscuss the plan to get Hikari and Sayuri together.
" So how do you think we should go about this plan of yours Misaki-san?"
"Hmmm...I'd actually like to change something." said Mayumi
"And what might that be?" asked the shorter yet older
"I'd like for Sayuri to get on board with the plan-"
"What, that might just mess up the whole thing!" Akari said in a calm voice
"I know, but there is a reason why, its Hikari's birthday tommorow and I want the one person who truly loves her to sing to her!"
"Hm" Akari smiled "I'have heard Sayrui sing before, she's so beautiful when she sings"
"Hikari would definitaly like that very much" Mayumi thought to herself
Just then, as if out of nowhere a very goofy green haired girl walked up to both Mayumi and Akari
"Sayuri!" Mayumi gasped as she jumped out of her seat to hug Sayuri
"Where in the world have you been?" she asked
"With someone you might know" Sayuri answered as some one was walking behind her, Pyoko Ono
"Wait, but aren't you two rivals?" asked Mayumi
"Yes, but spending time to get to know Pyoko has made me see otherwise, she was just trying to help me with my problems as a musician and I never got a a chance to thank you" Sayuri said while looking at a blushing Pyoko
"You don't have to thank me! I just needed you to get better!" Pyoko said in a tone not befitting her image.
"Hikari's right, you are cute hahahaha!" Sayuri joked this made Pyoko turn red and put her face in her hands as everyone burst into laughter.
as the craziness settled, the group sat down to talk about what was going to happen at the festival the next day...

Finally! the first day of the Star High School Anneversary Festival has arrived! as people from all over Tokyo and other schools around Japan came to celebrate in this three day festival. Some might treat it like going to Comiket, and it actually has that sort of vibe to it as it has done in the past and the best part is that the principal does not mind at all.
*Smiles all around*
Sayuri who had come with her crazy mom, was wearing one of her yukatas, along with a pair of cat ears and a tail, Mayumi had her hair down, which is rare, along with a baseball outfit, she also wore glasses to complete the outfit. As for Hikari, she wore her hair in a ponytail while wearing a white yukata with yellow flowers on it.
"Alright, lets go and play party people!" Ren cheered as she stormed off to the entrance.
"Oh! I forgot something in my shoe locker, I'll be back guys" Hikari had stormed off to get what she wanted
"Yes, she's gone, Mayumi commence phase one!" Sayuri took out the star necklace and took off to look for Akari
"I hope this works!" thought Akari as she signaled for Mayumi so that they could go with the other student council for the big announcment!
Hikari retuned from her leave.
"Okay, I remembered I have it at home" Hikari noticed that Mayumi was missing "Where's Mayumi?"
"Oh,she had to take care of some commitie stuff, come on dude!, lets do stuff together!" cheered Sayuri and taking Hikari's hand.
"Woah!" Hikari was going to ask her beloved mentor something esle, but it would be fine as long as she was with the girl she loved.

For the first time in a while, both Sayuri and Hikari had the time of their lives, they first ate taiyaki and ramen along with some lemonade. They then went to play video games in a tent with a sign that said "Gamers inn"
"YES!" said Sayuri with stars in her eyes.
It may not look like it, but other than being a musical prodigy, Sayuri loves video games, reason being is because her father is a video game programer.
"Sigh, here we go again!" pouted Hikari
"Aw,come on, it will only be for a while,promise" Sayuri made an evil smile with fangs
Sayuri started playing a fighting game at first, where she dominated all in less than 30 minutes.
"Man,she's good!" said several people that she beat in the fighing game
Sayuri played for a few more minutes,then got up
"Where are you going now?" asked Hikari
"Oh,Im just going to the bathroom" answered Sayuri "Oh right, heres a little something" Sayuri handed Hikari a small white box as she stormed off to the bathroom. The red haired girl looked at the box completly puzzled.
"Wait, Sayuri!" she wanted to say, but it was too late, Sayuri was unseen in the massive crowd of people. Suddenly, Akari appeared.
"Oh, she's gotten the box" she thought to herself, suddenly there was a beautiful chime along the PA system and then...
Attention all festival attendies,
we hope you are enjoying yourselves at our first day of our anneversary festival
Today, we are going to have a special contest, we're calling this "Destined Lovers"
The two that find the star necklace will be declared this years Destined Lovers
and will have the opptunity to confess or show off their love!
The rest of the announcement was tuned out as attendies raced around the entire festival, to find the star necklace.
"I wonder how many coulpes there are around the festival?" Hikari playfuly thought as she started to open the white box and got the biggest suprise of her life...the star necklace!
"What the?" Hikari's eyes widened as she took it out...
"Hey! that girl has the star necklace"said a random girl giving the lovesick puppy a mean glare
"Ah crap!" Hikari put the necklace back into the box and started running for her life, and she didn't care that she was wearing a yukata if she got caught by those other savage beasts, she would be on the menu!
For at least an hour, she ran and ran from girls and a few boys who wanted to get the star necklace. Hikari even ran into the pricipal who wanted the necklace so bad, she was going to hit Hikari with a toy mallet! Yikes! but the worst was yet to come. As Hikari ran, she ran into the robotics club, who were wearing gundam suits...fully funtional gundam suits with lazers!
"Whaaaaaaaaat!" said Hikari with a full on look of terror
"GET HER!" said one of the robotics club members
"Speak for yourself jackass!" Said a member of the martrial arts club, who looked suprisingly like Ken Masters from Street Fighter, as he ripped all the other gundam clad boys apart (out of their costumes)
"Ugh, its you again, can't you leave us alone you fighting maniac?" the other boy said as he got back into his fighting stance
"I live for the fight! and thats just what I'm gonna do!" the martial artist said as he made the first strong uppercut which caused and explosion in the area they were fighting.
Onlooker Hikari just stood and watch the insanity unfold in front of her. And, as if she were going to break the "4th wall"...
"Okay, when did this become an action story?"
...

Hikari finally escaped the madness that she stirred up, it had gotten dark and the moon was full.
Akari, who had been looking for Hikari all day, had found her
"There you are!" she said as she took off her Konata Izumi mask
"You again? what is it this time?" Hikari was getting fustrated with all the superpowered weirdness/
"You have the star necklace!" the smaller girl cheered
"Oh no! she's going to kill me!" Hikari thought in terror
"No, No, I just want you to come with me, the search is just about over."
"O-Okay. But are you sure this isn't a trap to take the necklace from me?" Hikari asked
"No trust me, I'm on the commitie who started this contest!" Akari said with a giggle as she led her classmate to a strange door
Minutes later, Hikari was sitting in a big fancy chair utop a stage that had a heart with a star on it. Just then, Akari showed up and began another announcment...
"We have this years winners!" she cheered and started a dramatic pause
"Hikari Momoko!" Akari pointed at the redheaded girl as she waived and smiled. She had gotten some laughs and some applause from the crowd below the stage.
"And our second winner" Akari did another dramatic pause "Sayuri Ryunnosuke!" there had been laughs, loud cheers, and screaming from the crowd below, but Sayuri wasn't there!
"Where is Sayuri?" Akari said in a silghtly fake tone
Just then, the lights went dark and then suddenly a spotlight shone at the very top of the steps that lead down to the stage. It was Sayuri, she was dressed in a single white dress, while she wore angel wings and she was holding a microphone. She took a deep breath and started.
"This is for my very special friend Hikari Momoko, Today is her birthday, and I want it to be one to remember"
Hikari looked up at Sayuri in full amazment as she looked at her beloved mentor "She's so beautiful!"
Sayuri still stood atop the stairwell and then started to sing...
I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone
Hikari had forgotten that Sayuri could sing so beautifully, it brought tears to her eyes, she woudln't be able to control herself around her beloved mentor from now on, she just wanted to jump out of her seat and go give Sayuri a big hug.
I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away
Sayuri started to walk down the stairs slowly as she looked strait at Hikari with her shiny cyan eyes and started to smile at Hikari's reaction
She then continued...
Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with
Tell me what does it mean?
Sayuri finally walked upon the stage towards Hikari and took up her hand and moved the hair that covered her left eye, revealing her blue eye
I wanna run to you (oooh)
I wanna run to you (oooh)
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm
I wanna run to you (oooh)
But if I come to you (oooh)
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away
"Happy Birthday Hikari, I Love You...dude!" Sayuri then gently kissed Hikari on the lips. Then Sayuri stood her love up and kissed her again this time it was longer.
"Please, Let me be yours Hikari, I want to be your girlfriend" said the Music Otaku with tears in her eyes
"...Of course you can" as she answered as she kissed Sayuri again "I've always wanted you to, but what about you? Have you always loved me?"
"Yes" Sayuri said gently
The crowd was sent into an uproar as they witnessed probably the biggest highlight of the festival...
Finally, I got Sayuri and Hikari together...
But the question remains..What did Hikari and Makoto do in Makoto's room, that will be for later =)
Yes, just as I've pictured it for months it came out perfectly!
for now I must take a small break and I'll get back to you in chapter 10! Bon Voyage...Dudes!
BTW The song Sayuri was singing was "Run to You" By Whitney Huston...YES that Whitney Huston
I choose this song beause it describes the relationship between Sayuri and Hikari very well!
