AN: Now, to those who have bothered to read this story, I thank you very much for reading and giving me feedback on how you liked it. Now, This chapter is going to be REALLY long, I think, so be prepared, 'kay? I've seen this film so many times that I have almost the entire thing memorized by lines! But I'm feeling really giddy, too, since the end's almost here! Just a couple more chapters to go!
Oh, and there should have been a song after this, but I decided not to insert since it would make little to no sense if I had put it in. So here's the link to it if anyone wants to check it out anyway: www .youtube watch?v=SSRNmfm5nyU
Enjoy the chapter and review if you can!
~Love Stories~
oOThree Love StoriesOo
Kukai whistled as he brushed his hair out the best he could with Tadase joining in as he buttoned up his shirt. They were soon joined by Nagihiko who came into the room from the shower with a shirt and a towel on.
But as the violet-haired male was brushing his hair out, Kukai winked at his blonde roommate before tugging off Nagihiko's towel, revealing a pair of black boxers.
"Hey, Kukai, give it back!" Nagihiko shouted, trying to jump up and get the cloth, but to no avail.
He tossed the towel to Tadase and they both began tossing the towel to each other, purposely keeping it away from their violet-haired friend.
"Come on, guys, give me my towel!" the amber-eyed male shouted.
Just then, they heard a knock on the door. Thinking that it was their headmaster, the three straightened up as best as they could, when they spotted, not Tsumugu, but their music teacher entering the room.
"Good morning," Ikuto greeted, amused.
"Good morning," the boys murmured.
"Do any of you know how to play the piano?" the blue-haired man asked the trio, who just looked at each other confusedly.
"It's okay, it's okay," the music teacher placated, "I just needed someone to teach Major Mashiro's granddaughter how to play. But it's all right, maybe someone else knows." And with that, he left, the trio to their devices.
"Hey, Kukai," Tadase said with a look on his face, "haven't we heard the name Major Mashiro..." he shared a glance with the chestnut-haired boy and their eyes widened in realization.
"Oh crap!" they shouted in unison, looking at Nagihiko, who was about to fit his tie around his neck, realized just who his teach and friends were talking about.
"Oh crap!" the violet-haired boy swore as he ran out the door to look for the music teacher, only to hear whistling after running a few feet.
"So you would like to learn how to piano?" Ikuto asked, smirking.
Nagihiko could only nod sheepishly.
"Come down in ten minutes," the blue-haired man told his student, "we have a lot of work to do." He began to walk off before he stopped and turned back to the violet-haired boy. "Oh, and before you come down, put on some pants, hmm?" he smirked again and tossed the towel into Nagihiko's hand, making him look down in surprise.
-Mashiro Manor-
Rima ran down the stairs as fast as she could when she heard a lovely piano tune being played. She froze when she saw just who it was that was playing the music. Major Mashiro smiled at his daughter while Tsukasa gestured for her to come closer.
(AN: You all know how Tsukasa looks, right? And You've seen Rima's father as well as Ami, so I won't bother to describe them , as I just want to get this long chapter out.)
Nagihiko played on with Ami in his lap, watching his fingers tap the different keys.
They all clapped when the violet-haired boy finished his piece.
"That was beautiful, Nagihiko," Major Mashiro complemented before kneeling down to speak with his granddaughter. "Ami, I want you to be good and learn how to play the piano before your grandma comes, okay?"
Ami nodded enthusiastically.
"Don't worry, sir," Nagihiko smiled, "in a month, she'll be playing even better than me."
Major Mashiro smiled and gave a nod to everyone before he went on his way.
"Come on, Ami, let's get started," the violet-haired male guide the little girl to the piano bench and began showing her the different notes and scales.
"Nagihiko, may I have a word with you?" Tsukasa asked, guiding Rima with his right arm around her shoulder. "I would like to introduce my younger sister, Rima. Rima, this is Fujisaki Nagihiko, Ami's new piano teacher."
Nagihiko and Rima exchanged greetings, not letting Tsukasa and Ami know that they knew each other from before.
"If it isn't too much trouble, Nagihiko," Tsukasa requested, "would you teach Rima as well?"
"Onii-san!" Rima tried to stop her brother, but he plowed on as though he'd never heard her.
"She loves music and also sings—" the sandy-haired man continued.
"Onii-san!" Rima cut in, a little louder this time.
"All right," the lavender-eyed man amended, "she used to sing."
"Onee-chan used to sing funny!" Ami giggled before breaking into a run when Rima gave chase.
"They're hopeless," Tsukasa smiled, shaking his head. "Ami, honey, it's time for your bath. After that, Nagihiko can go back to teaching you."
"Okay!" the little girl said, running after her father.
Rima and Nagihiko watched the sandy-haired man guide the little girl up the staircase Rima had run down a few minutes prior.
"You never told me you could sing," Nagihiko looked at his friend and love interest.
"You never asked," she smiled softly, "And besides, I used to song, but not anymore."
"Why not?" the violet-haired boy asked curiously.
"You ask many questions," Rima pointed out.
"Because you never give me too many answers," amber eyes locked with honey.
"Are you here to teach Ami how to play or are you here to chat with me?" Rima asked, chuckling.
Nagihiko's amber gaze bore into her. "What do you think?"
Rima's smiled faltered before it came back and she walked off.
Nagihiko looked on after her, with an odd grin on his lips.
-Ayaka Girls Academy-
"Utau, my dear," Hino Natsuki said enthusiastically, "this is your new dance partner, Soma Kukai, not Takuto, right?" she and Kukai shared a brief laugh, neither seeing the repulsed look on Utau's face.
"Kukai, this singing competition is a matter of prestige for our college," Natsuki explained. "That is why Yue Yoru-san, Kami bless him, has sent you over." She turned to the blonde-haired girl. "Utau, I want you two to become friends in this month and then show me something spectacular! But no fighting!"
"Yes ma'am," the two chorused, smiling tightly at the headmistress who giggled giddily as she walked off.
When the woman left, the grins immediately fell from their faces and Utau adopted a glare, while Kukai's expression turned blank.
"I suggest you get out of here right now," Utau told him. "Maybe you don't know, but I have been wining this competition for the last three years and I have no intention of losing because of an idiot like you."
"Now, now, Popstar," Kukai smiled mockingly, "didn't you hear Hino-san? I was called here to be your partner and that's what I'll do. Besides, it counts as a grade for me in my music class."
Utau's eyes blazed at the nickname he gave her. "Why you—"
But before she could say anything more, Kukai had hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her to him, shutting her up temporarily before she started struggling to get out of his grip.
"Come on, Popstar," the chestnut-haired boy said in a mocking tone, "we don't need that kind of language, do we?"
"Let me go!" Utau demanded, increasing her struggles...
...which was the wrong thing to do. Kukai only tightened his arm around her waist. "What's the magic word?"
"Please?" Utau forced a smile and fluttered her eyelashes at him.
"There you go," Kukai grinned, "now was that so hard?"
It seemed, that Kukai shouldn't have said anything as once Utau was freed, she kicked him in the shin before storming off.
Kukai hissed. "Why do I love her again?"
-Taro's Home-
Poeple danced and swam as loud music blared in Taro's backyard. Taro laughed as he tossed one of his female friends into the pool.
Yaya nervously walked down the steps, hands clutching a tiny beaded bag.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
She wore a pink babydoll dress that ended at about mid-thigh with a pair of silver heels. She wore a pair of hoops in her ears, her hair was up in a fancy up-do and there was just a hint of make-up on her face.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
She stopped at the bottom of the stars and looked around, searching for her boyfriend. A waiter came up to her carrying refreshments and refused, but did a double-take once she realized that it was Tadase.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
He wore a black of black slacks, a white shirt with a black bowtie and a black blazer with black dress shoes.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
"Tadase?!" Yaya squealed. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm working here, of course," Tadase said as though it were obvious, "a couple thousand yen and a chance to see a posh party like this? Only a fool would turn down this offer."
"Good then, you can stay with Ya-me!" the ginger-haired girl linked her arm through his.
"Yaya, let me go," Tadase said sternly.
"But why?" she whined.
"Yaya, I'm only working here, it'll look bad," the blonde boy tried to explain. "And besides, since it's your boyfriend's party, you should know everyone here."
"No!" Yaya nearly shouted. "These are all Taro's friends! Ya-I don't know anyone here!"
"I'm sorry, Yaya, but I have to get back to work," the ruby-eyed boy apologized before walking off.
"Hey there, Babe!" Taro shouted, hugging Yaya. "How's my girl? C'mon, I'll introduce you to everyone!" He picked her up bridal style and before Yaya knew what was happening, she was being tossed into the pool.
The ginger-haired girl stood in the pool, arms wrapped around herself as she quietly began to weep.
When the redhead noticed that his girlfriend was crying, he motioned for everyone to be quiet and for the music to be muted. "C'mon, Yaya, don't cry, I was just joking," he apologized, reaching a hand out to her. "Okay, I'm sorry! Here grab my hand."
"Taro, that's enough," Tadase said warningly. The blonde walked into the pool and took off his jacket, wrapping it around his childhood friend.
Yaya looked up when she felt the cloth slip over herself and found Tadase there. She held the coat tighter to herself and went with her friend as he guided her out of the pool under Taro's narrowed gazed.
When they'd finally gotten out of the pool, Taro came up to the pair. "Look, Yaya, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have do—"
Tadase held up a hand, silencing the redhead. "You've done enough damage today, Taro."
And with that, Tadase guided a still weeping Yaya out of the house with a solemn look on his face.
-Ayaka Girl's Academy; Auditorium-
Kukai watched as the girls each practiced their singing and dancing, every one giving a separate solo performance. A smirk on his face appeared when he realized just how he could really get on Utau's nerves.
He'd already figured out that if anything, Utau never backed down from a challenge, and if he played his cards right, then he just might get Utau to see him as more than just an idiot.
So he what did he do you may wonder? He started making goo-goo eyes at a random girl in the class with a peculiar smile on his lips.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
The girl had strawberry-blonde hair that went down to mid-back held back in a high ponytail, a lightly tanned complexion, and a pair of lilac eyes.
She wore a green spaghetti-strapped top that stopped a few inches below her chest, a pair of black spandex shorts that stopped at mid-thigh along with a pair of black sneakers and socks.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
Utau had just come back from the bathroom and began doing her scales, when she noticed her supposed 'partner' for the singing competition was staring at the one girl in the class that she hated. Takuma Nina.
"You boys are all alike," the blonde girl snorted in disgust.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" Kukai asked, feigning confusion.
"It's so easy for a girl to catch any guy's attention," Utau spoke, "all she needs to do is prance around in a trashy outfit like our dear friend, Nina, and she has you all wrapped around her finger."
She glared at said girl before turning to look directly at Kukai who'd been staring at her the entire time, watching her expressions.
"That's all you guys ever think about isn't it?" Utau asked rhetorically. "Don't you ever think about what kind of person she is? What kind of a heart she has? How she'll talk to you?"
"Youre's absolutely right," Kukai grinned, "we never think about those kinds of things!" He went back to watching Nina.
"You're disgusting," the blonde-haired girl threw a look at the chestnut-haired boy.
Kukai smirked before he turned to the girl he loved. "You know what I think your problem is?" Utau scoffed. "I think you're jealous of Nina."
Violet eyes widened in disbelief. "Me? Jealous of Nina?"
"Of course," the line-green-eyes boy answered as if it were obvious, "you want to be like her, but you can't and let's face it...you don't exactly have what it takes. And that's what makes you hate her even more." He added, whispering, "I think you might want to take care of you little complex before it gets out of control. Think about it."
Utau silently fumed before she took a hold of Kukai's collar and dragged him close to her. "Listen Mr. High and Mighty, I'm not jealous of Nina and neither do I hate anyone. And as for your Nina, I can be like her anytime I want to be, but she can never be like me!"
"No way, Utau," the chestnut-haired boy laughed, "You can never be like Nina."
"Yes, I can," Utau growled.
"No you can't."
"I can!"
"Can't!"
"I ca—"
"Kukai-kun," Nina asked sweetly, "could you please help with this one dance step? I just can't get it right."
"Of course," Kukai smiled, walking off with the strawberry-blonde.
Utau's eyes widened at the audacity of the chestnut-haired boy.
-Mashiro Manor-
Rima was walking up to her room with a few books in her hand when she was spotted by her older brother.
"You aren't ready yet?" Tsukasa asked, brow furrowed. "We have to go to Kino-san's house for dinner, remember?"
"I don't feel like going, Onii-san," Rima shook her head and tried going back to her room, but was stopped by her brother's hand on her arm.
"Again the same excuse?" Lavender eyes core into honey orbs. "Look, it's good to go out and meet people, make friends. You can't keep yourself shut inside the house all the time!"
Rima just looked down at her books.
"All right, I see," Tsukasa smiled softly, stroking her hair, "take your time. Make sure Ami gets to bed on time and no anime tonight! She has school tomorrow!"
Rima giggled and continued on to her room and headed straight towards the bookshelf, when she stopped. Looking down at her vanity, she found a large package.
Putting the books down onto her bed, she went ahead and opened the box to find a lovely dress inside.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
The dress was a light orange-colour with two-inch thick ruffled straps attached to the sweetheart neckline of the empire-waist dress. The skirt went down to about mid-calf.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
She found a card inside and pulled it out.
A small gift to a girl who feels incomplete.
Rima smiled softly and replaced the dress into the box and set it back down onto her vanity.
"You didn't like the gift then?" Came a male's voice.
Spinning around, Rima gasped when she saw a smiling Nagihiko leaning against her door.
"What are you doing here?" she asked. "You need to get out of here before someone sees you!"
"Relax," the violet-haired boy tried placating the girl he fell in love with. "No one saw me come in, and they definitely won't see me go out."
"I don't understand why you're here, but you need to go now!" Rima said as loud as she dared.
"Okay, okay," Nagihiko held his hands up, "but on one condition."
"What?" the dark-blonde-haired girl asked exasperatedly.
"I want to see you sing, just once, in this dress," he answered.
"Nagihiko, please get out of here," Rima pleaded.
"First promise me," he held out his hand.
"I-I don't know how to sing," she stuttered out nervously.
"Now that's a lie and the both of us know that," Nagihiko smiled softly.
"I used to sing, but I've forgotten how!" Rima tried making an excuse.
"Hey," the violet-haired boy said, grasping her upper arms gently, "I just wanted to make my friend happy, so I got her a gift. And now, if you want to make your friend happy, then come out to the terrace in that dress; it's as simple as that."
And with that, he strode towards the doorway.
"Why are you doing this, Nagihiko?" Rima asked.
The amber-eyed boy turned back to look at the girl he loved. "Because I have a friend who's too scared to be happy. I just want to show her just how easy it is to be happy."
And with that, he walked out the door, leaving a stunned girl behind him.
-Suzuki; That Night-
Tadase and Yaya walked through the streets, a solemn silence passing over the two, the latter wrapped up in Tadase's coat.
"How could this happen, Tadase?" the ginger-haired girl asked morosely. "How could Ya-I make such a mistake?"
Tadase stopped walking and looked at his friend, who'd stopped when he did. "Do you really want to know?" He asked quietly.
She nodded.
Tadase took his jacket off of her and gestured to what she wore. "This was your mistake. This and the way you're addressing yourself. This isn't Yaya, it's someone else."
Yaya's face only showed confusion, but Tadase only held up a finger. He took her earrings out, let her hair down, tied his jacket around her waist, and took her small beaded purse from her.
He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at her. "Now this is my Yaya. Messy, babyish, and cute. You'd forgotten who your were when you were with Taro, you changed to become the way he wanted to see you. That was your mistake."
Yaya looked away from her friend, not completely understanding what he was trying to say. Tadase just gently guided her chin so that she look to his face.
"'A person should love you as you are, not the way they want you to be. If someone tries to change you, then it isn't love, but a compromise.'" Tadase quoted. "'And Darling, there are no compromises in love, right?'" He smiled softly as she finally met his eyes. "You'd forgotten your own rule. Come on, let's get you home."
But just as Tadase was about to walk again, Yaya stopped him with a hand on his wrist. "Tadase, can you hold Yaya in your arms?" she asked with pleading eyes. "Please?"
Ruby eyes softened as he agreed, letting the ginger-haired girl wrap her arms around his neck, his winding around her waist.
"Thank you, Tadase," she cried into his neck, "Thank you."
-Ayaka Girls Academy; Auditorium-
Kukai whistled as he carried his bag out of the auditorium, only for the lights on the stage to turn.
He looked back and saw Utau get on stage, a blank expression on her face.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
She wore a black tube top that stopped two inches below her chest with a black thigh-length ruffled skirt and a pair of strappy heels. Her hair was curled a bit and her face showed evidence of a small hint of make-up. Her neck was adorned with a silver chain and around her waist was a circle-link chain acting as a belt.
Some~Love~Stories~Live~Forever
And then, the music began.
-Mashiro Manor; Terrace-
Nagihiko laid back on a bench as the wind blew and tossed his violet hair around. His head was pillowed by his backpack as he waited for Rima to show up.
And then, he heard the familiar click-clack of heels and looked up to see Rima coming to the terrace with the dress on and accessorized in her own way.
(AN: I'll let you all think about how you'd like to imagine her, I'm getting a little drowsy, so I don't want to spend too much more time on this chapter.)
She smiled at him as he sat up and watched her walk into the moonlight.
-Suzuki-
The wind blew around Tadase and Yaya as neither let go of each other. They swayed to an imaginary beat and a small smile appeared on their faces.
-Ayaka Girl's Academy; Auditorium-
Open your shiny eyes in the silent night
Fushigi na yoru maiorita
Ashioto tatezu shinobiyoru
Nayamashi ge na kuro neko no POOZU
Tsuki akari wo se ni ukabu SHIRUETTO
Kocchi e oide to hohoende temaneki
Kukai watched as Utau danced and sang to the song and smirked. 'I can't believe she actually took on my challenge,' he thought, 'but hen again, she never backs down from one.'
-Mashiro Manor; Terrace-
Rima opened her mouth and Nagihiko closed his eyes as he let her voice fill his mind and heart.
Houkago oshaberi
Yuuyake no nioi
Ano koto yorimichi
Nanigenai furishite
Kitaishiteiru no ne
Shiroi BURAUSU tsubureteru kaban

-Suzuki-
Tadase and Yaya smiled and laughed as they danced with each other in the moonlit streets, the wind blowing around them.
-Mashiro Manor; Terrace-
ROMANCHIKKU na koi ni wa
Marude kyoumi ga nai nante
Honto wa me mo awase rarenakute
Moshimo honto ni watashi o
Suki da nante iu nara

Nagihiko could only smile at how happy the girl in front of him looked as she sang.
-Ayaka Girls Academy; Auditorium-
Nemuri ni tsuku koro anata mo dokoka de

Kukai's could only continue to watch as the girl he loved continued to sing, her voice echoing in his head.
-Suzuki-
Tadase spun Yaya out and then back into his arms as their dance came to an end. They both panted for breath as they looked into each other's eyes, caught in a trance.
Closer and closer they leaned into each other, but at the last moment, when Yaya's eyes had closed, he just settled for stroking her cheek softly before walking away.
And when the ginger-haired girl opened her eyes, cinnamon orbs scanned around her to find where her friend had gone off to.
-Mashiro Manor; Terrace-
When her song came to a close, the honey-eyes girl smiled happily and threw her arms around the vilet-haired boys neck, shocking him.
But soon, she pulled away, her eyes showing how shocked she was at her behaviour.
Nagihiko reached out to place a hand on her shoulder, but retracted and ran off, leaving the girl he loved to look after him as he left.
-Ayaka Girls Academy; Auditorium-
Kukai walked up to the stage, clapping slowly. He climbed on and took of his zip-up sweatshirt.
Utau watched him as he placed it around her shoulders and gave her a soft, sincere smile. Showing for the first time, that he wasn't what she made him out to be.
He gently pecked her on the cheek and left her standing there, hand caressing the place his lips had touched.
After he left, she walked out into the rain and just let herself get soaked, for she knew that she'd finally fallen.
-Mashiro Manor; Terrace-
Rima closed her eyes as she felt herself getting drenched, but she didn't care. All she knew was that she'd begun falling and there was no way to stop it.
-Suzuki-
Yaya just walked through the streets, not caring that she was getting wet. She didn't understand what had happened between her and her friend, but she knew that something had just begun.
-Ayaka Girls Academy-
La la la la la
La la la la la
La-la-la-la
Utau stood there in the rain, never seeing, nor hearing Amu dance around her, singing to her own tune.
-Mashiro Manor;Terrace-
La la la la la
La la la la la
La-la-la-la
Rima never noticed Amu dance around her smiling all the while.
-Suzuki-
La la la la la

Just as before with the other two girls, Amu danced and sang around her.
-Katashi Gazebo-

Ikuto could only watched in awe at the way his beloved danced, her hair and dark-blue dress soaked through.
When she spotted him, she spun around him a few time before collapsing into his arms.
"You've won," Amu breathed, smiling, "You've won. Their love stories have begun. You've won!"
"No," Ikuto smiled, "We've won." And with that he held her tight against him, the lock and key glowing brightly.
AN: And so their love stories have finally begun... GAH! 14 pages all in size 9 Veranda font! Geez! My fingers are aching from typing so much!
Well, thanks for reading and stayed tuned for more!
