Chapter Eight
Crazy Domino Nights Pt II
Everyone was picked up in a total of sixty seconds. Impossible for someone other than Akané Yuki for sure. Akané pulled up to a teen club and shooed them out immediately before driving off at a mad speed. Judai simply sweatdropped at the tire marks on the street and face-palmed.
"Aniki, your mother is scary." Sho managed to say.
Judai was wearing a pair of black dress pants, a button up-short sleeved red dress shirt, his Osiris sneakers, and a red baseball cap backwards. Arisho had put on a light blue and dark blue trimmed off-the-shoulder windbreaker like top with a white mini-skirt, black tights, and blue combat boots. Asuka wore a white and green stripped tank that showed off her belly button and a pair of low-rider white jeans with blue strap on shoes. Sho wore a yellow t-shirt with a white star on the front and black jeans with his Ra sneakers. Azura wore a shortsleeved pale blue ankle-length dress with a white laced sun hat with a pale blue ribbon around the base and blue back-less sandals. Fubuki wore his blue idol suit that he loved to show off. Sesuna looked really out of place wearing a silver and green plaid skirt, black leggings that stopped in mid-thigh, green kneehigh boots, a sleeveless black turtle neck top, and green knuckle gloves. Daichi was wearing a white and black t-shirt with black jeans and sneakers. Takami looked cute in a lavender and blue flared skirt and top with slip-ons. Momoe and Junko were wearing coordinated black and white outfits. Kamiko wore her bike gloves, form-fitting dark blue jeans, a white tank, and a camo jean vest. Kenzan had simply changed his green tank and Ra vest for a white t-shirt. And finally Koji was wearing a black t-shirt, an open white vest, grey jeans, and sneakers.
"Wow, this place is already jumping." Asuka said as they entered the club.
Teenagers from all over Domino were dancing, talking, and socializing. Judai and Arisho both turned scarlet at the sight of some teenagers making-out in dark corners. Azura blushed deeply and looked down shyly at the thought, the memory of Sho kissing her filling her thoughts.
"W-Who wants drinks?" Judai stammered, "I'll go and get some!" He then zipped into the crowd, leaving the rest to sweatdrop.
Fubuki thought of something, "Sho, where's Ryo?"
"Oniisan is around here somewhere." Sho replied.
Asuka blushed slightly, "Ryo's here?"
Sho nodded and said, "There he is!"
Asuka turned and spotted Ryo politely rejecting a group of girls' offer to dance and him walking in their direction. He wore a pale blue dress shirt that was unbuttoned some, revealing his muscle shirt underneath (not to mention the muscles), and a pair of black jeans and dress shoes. Asuka had never seen Ryo looking so handsome in her years of knowing him.
"Asuka," She blushed again when Ryo stopped and gave her a rare smile, "Would you like to dance?"
Fubuki almost whistled but Takami shut him up by stomping on his foot.
"Hai," Asuka whispered, taking Ryo's hand, and being dragged onto the dance floor.
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply, do...
I will be strong
I will be faithful
Because I am counting on a new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning yeah
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
That'll make you wanna cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection
Of the highest power and lonely hours
The tears divide you
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Oh, can't you see it baby?
Don't have to close your eyes
'cause it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply, do...
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
(I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me)
I wanna stand with you on a mountain…
"Asuka…" Said blonde looked up to see Ryo staring down at her. "Asuka… I…"
Ryo blushed faintly when Asuka placed a finger to his lips, "Aishiteru, Ryo."
He gapped, "W-What?"
"Aishiteru…" Asuka brought her lips to his for a minute.
Takami sighed, "Aw…"
Fubuki grinned, "Yes!"
Sesuna sweatdropped and Daichi looked at her slyly. Koji blinked because he was then seized by the arms and Momoe and Junko both kissed him on both cheeks in unison. Azura giggled as he collapsed backwards in shock before she saw Judai returning with some sodas.
"You should ask him to dance." Kamiko whispered in the raven haired girl's ear.
Azura blinked her amethyst orbs before taking a bold step forward, "U-Um, Judai-kun?"
Judai looked down at her, "Hm?"
She blushed and finally choked out, "W-Would you like to d-dance?"
"Um, Azura-chan, I think Sho would like to dance with you first." Judai said politely. He watched his best friend's face turn dark red and chuckled, "Have fun you two!" He then gently shoved Sho and Azura out onto the dance floor.
Azura blinked and so did Sho before both looked away and blushed even worse.
"A-Azura-chan," Sho tried to speak but it was difficult.
"S-Sho-kun… I…" Azura sighed slightly.
Sho tilted her chin and gave her the best smile he could manage, "Go and tell him how you feel, Azura-chan. I'll be rooting for you."
She blinked and said, "R-Really, Sho-kun?"
Sho smiled, "Yeah. Go." He gently pushed her away and faced in the opposite direction.
Azura froze for a second, trying to decide what to do. She then whispered, "Thank you," and headed towards where Judai was.
"Sho-kun." Said bluenette turned, wiping away his tears, and saw Sesuna and Daichi. "Are you alright?"
"S-Suna-chan…" Sho burst into tears and clung to his godsister tightly.
Daichi shielded them from view and they headed for the bathrooms near the exit.
-Across the Club-
Meanwhile, Azura had just managed to make her way to Judai, who had his back turned to her. He grabbed Arisho's wrist and Azura froze instantly.
"Arisho, we need to talk." Judai began.
Arisho blushed and said, "We do?"
Judai nodded, "Arisho… look…" He looked into her ice green gaze and sighed before confessing, "I care for you more than I should but I don't care anymore. Because I love you."
Her heart pounding, Arisho smiled and hugged Judai, "I love you too."
Azura felt hot tears pouring down her face as she overheard this. Not only had Judai chosen another girl, he had got said girl by saying exactly what Azura had told him to say not so long ago. With her heart stabbed with rejection and pain, Azura turned and forced her way through the crowd, the song now playing fitting eerily with her situation.
After love, after love Do you believe in life after love
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
So sad that you're leaving
Takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're going to be the lonely one, Ohh Oh
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now
Azura managed to get to a table in a secluded corner, watching Judai and Arisho, the new couple, dancing and laughing, oblivious to her hurt. She sat down and dried her tears, feeling her chest tightening.
What am I supposed to do Do you believe in life after love
Sit around and wait for you
And I can't do that
There's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you Ohh Oh
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now
Spotting Sho emerging from the bathrooms, Azura blinked a few times, and slowly smiled. She then smirked as she looked towards Judai.
But I know that I'll get through this Do you believe in life after love
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
Oh I don't need you anymore I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough,
Now…
"Azura?" She turned to see Sho, "How'd it go?"
Azura smiled and replied, "It went no where. I realized something."
Sho looked confused, "Realized what?"
"I was never in love with Judai-kun… he's more like an aniki to me." Azura said slowly, "And that I'm in love with someone whose been by my side this entire time."
"W-Who?" Sho dared to ask.
"How about… I tell you tomorrow." Azura answered softly, "I have to find the courage first to tell anyone."
Sho smiled and hugged her, "Okay, Azura, I can wait."
Azura grinned, "Good! Now let's dance, Sho-kun!" Taking his hand, Azura then twirled from her chair and emerged on the dance floor.
SF4E: "Yes, I finally got Judai and Arisho together."
Sho: "Tell me who Azura loves!!"
SF4E: "No way!!"
Sho: pouting "Meanie…"
SF4E: shakes head/smiles "Please R&R!"
