Willow here, again. This will be, I repeat, this will be, the LAST update until I return from camp... unless I've got time. But I can't make any gaurentees. Oh, by the way, who reading this hate Mitsuki? Review, and I shall think of some way for her to die. A strange, gruesome one. Or, a way to get left in some dump in some place. Or get dumped in a humiliating way. Your choice. Well, please enjoy this chapter of Gang Lilly.
Yuki just stared at me. "W... why are you bowing?" he asked me. "It is what one does to another's supperior." I retorted harshly. Mitsuki smirked. I straightened. "It." I said, nodding. "Yoko." I nodded towards her. She simply looked down. "I'll ask you two once. Leave. Let them collect their X eggs in peace." I told them. I had to protect the holder... "No." said the it. I sighed heavily. "Then you leave me no choice. I must get rid of your character changes for a while." I said. He gasped, and so did Yoko. I raised my hand. "Sealed Move!" Yoko's chara-nari disappeared, and it's character change wore off. "What the-?" it looked down, surprised. "I didn't want to do it." I told them. "You won't be able to use character change or chara-nari for the rest of the day." I said.
"What?! But what if we find some X eggs?! We can't do anything without our character changes!" Yoko cried. "Live with it, people." came Yuki's voice. I turned to him. "Don't think I'm on your side alone." I spoke in monotone. "If the time comes, I must also protect Ai." I said. He gawked at me. Mitsuki made an angry face. I didn't get it. Out of all the people he could have been with, why did he chose the stupid fangirl?
I made my way back home. Then I remembered. Ah, crap. I gotta find a job, now. Easter kicked me out, thanks to Yuki. I doubled back and went to town. I saw a 'Help Wanted' sign hanging in a restaurant window. I walked inside, just to scope it out. The uniforms weren't too bad, compared to some I'd seen. And it seemed to be kind of fancy, the kind of place where the waitresses get large tips. I decided to go talk to the manager...
"Yes!" I said, punching the air as I walked out of the cafe. "Good for you, Sayuri!" Chie chided. "Yes. Wonderful job, mistress!" exclaimed Tera. I had my uniform draped over my arm. I had to come back at ten in the morning to start my new job. "Oh, you know what?" I asked Chie and Tera. "Hm?" mumbled Chie. "This is actually kind of exciting!" I said happily. "Yuki dumping you is getting to your head." she muttered. Poor Chie.
The next morning, I got up and slipped on my uniform. I long sleeved, white, button up shirt with a black skirt that reached about mid thigh. The manager had told me to pin up the longer locks of hair in the front, so as not to trail them in the food I would be carrying. I put on my necklace, and Tera attempted to hand me a chess piece hair clip. "No, she'll wear the wolf one!" exclaimed Chie. I'd never seen her so riled up. Was it because of Hiroki? "No, she won't!" argued Tera. "Yes, she will! Won't you Sayuri?" Chie asked as if all knowing.
"Well..." I trailed off. "What? You won't?" she asked, offended. "No." I said. She scoffed. "I'll wear both!" I finished. She smiled happily, and she and Tera handed over their clips excitedly. I pinned up one side with the chess piece, and the other with the wolf. Chie admired 'her side' merrily. "It compliments the shade of hair well!" she chided. I shook my head. "Whatever you say." I replied.
I got to the cafe, walking through the door while jingling the bell. The manager was fond of Antarctica, and so it was called GlacierCafe.(I dunno, I'm out of names...)I went into the back room, and put up my bag. I kept Chie and Tera with me. I had been serving for at least an hour, and gotten over fifty bucks in tips when I turned to greet the new people. "Good Morning, and welcome to the Glacier Cafe. May I take-" I stopped. Yuki. He was alone. "Where's Mitsuki?" I hissed. "Home." he replied. I glared at him. "You two live together. You must be pretty close. Engaged?" I asked frostily.
"No..." he said, surprised by my tone.
"Well, what would you like? I'm Sayuri, and I'll be your server this morning, as an acquaintance of mine got me fired from my old job." I said bitterly. He smirked. My heart skipped a beat. I blushed beet red. "Silly, I'm not here for the food. I need to talk to you." he said. "Well, you might as well get some food. I don't get lunch break for another hour. Then we'll talk." I said harshly. He nodded curtly, and I showed him grudgingly to his seat. "To drink." I asked tartly. "Water..." he replied, equally sour. "Eat?" I asked. "You're not a very good waitress." he retorted. "Well, I won't be expecting a tip, then." I said.
"Now, what would you-" "Say it nicer." he ordered. I sighed. This was so stupid. I put on a sarcastic smile. "Oh, great ray of sunshine, what would you, in all of your devine majesty, like to eat, in our most humble temple of food?" I asked, clasping my hands together in rage. He smirked. I knew he was doing that on purpose. "I'll have the lemon pie, if you will." he said teasingly. My eyes clouded over. Those reminded me of the good old days, when it was just me and him. He would tease me, I would tease back... "...ri? Sayuri?" I snapped my head up. "Oh, terribly sorry, your holiness. I'll get that right away." I hissed to him.
I went into the kitchens, only to be harassed by one of the male cooks who had taken a liking to me. Then, the other new girl bumped into me, leaving me to clean up the squashed lemon pie. I then had to ask the creepy cook again for yet another one, and he was smirking at me the whole freaking time, until I had to sock him softly in the jaw.
I came back a minute later balancing a tray on one arm with the water and pie, but was abruptly stopped by some old dude who asked me, "Where are the marshmallows?" "I'm sorry, sir. Um, we don't sell those here. But if you wanted to get some marshmallow crème pie, I'll be more than happy to take your order." "NO! I need marshmallows!" I sighed. "You know what, old man? This store doesn't sell marshmallows. We sell pastries, fruits, parfaits, and other various sweets. but we do not sell those individually packaged here. I'm sorry. Will you please exit the door to your left?" I asked, walking away. He hobbled over to harass another coworker..
I set the tray down. "What? I don't get a thank you? You don't know what horrors I had to go through to get those to you." I said. "Oh, what were those horrors?" he said bitterly, not believing a word of it. "I was harassed by a cook, bumped into by a waitress, had to clean up the mess, be harassed by the cook again, then this old dude asked me about buying marshmallows. and everyone knows we don't sell packaged marshmallows in the first place and he's still here!" I finished, breathless. He just stared at me. "Wow..." he mumbled, taking a bite of pie. I sighed. This was the worst first day ever.
Finally, it was lunch break. I had finally gotten rid of the old dude, and had to take care of a party of five old people who kept complaining that the food here was too sweet. So I asked them why they even came to a desert cafe in the first place, which earned me a storming crowd of old people leaving the building.
Yuki and I walked out of the cafe. We walked to the deserted edge of the park. I sat on the swing, edging back and forth slowly. "What is it?" I asked. "Why have you been acting so weird?" he sneered at me. Some way to ask. "I mean, I understand that bringing back Mitsuki might have been a shock, but-" I cut him off. "A shock?!" I yelled. Chie and Tera quavered inside my bag.
"You think that's all it was, do you? Just a shock?!" I yelled at him. "I waited for you. I waited until the day you got back, hoping, to see you again. When it would be the two of us! But no!" I screeched. "No! You had to bring that bit-" "Don't you dare!" he yelled at me. "Your being selfish. I wanted you those many years ago, but now I don't. I'm tired of waiting, Sayuri. Tired!" he yelled. Tears were clouding my vision. "You know what?! I was ten! I was ten, Yuki!" I screamed. Tears spilled down my face. "It wasn't the right time! I just-" "You're being selfish!" "NO!" I cried. "No." I whispered. "You are." I sobbed. He took a step towards me. "No!" i flinched away. "When I was too young, it was always, 'let's get together'. And you can't imagine how much I wanted that, Yuki, but I was too young! I decided I was going to wait! Wait until I got old enough. But... but then you left! And so, I waited. I waited that whole time. But you come back with this... with th-this... this person. And this person, she just... comes between us. You shoved me out of you life completely! And all that time... all that time, I had been waiting to... to..." "Waiting to what, Sayuri? What? I didn't not want to be with you, but you didn't want me! You're being stupid, and heartless, and I-" I looked up.
"I WAS WAITING TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVED YOU!"
It was silent. My chest was heaving up and down. My face turned into a grimace. "But now, I can't believe that I ever did. You have no respect for my feelings. And yet, I can't not love you, Yuki. But, you know what? Just... go home. Go home to Mitsuki." I said sadly, and I turned to walk away.
"And I don't mind,
If you say this love is the last time.
So now I'll ask,
Do you like that?
Do you like that?
No."
