I'm Here To Save You

Pairing: Yaya x Hikari

Genre: Friendship/Drama

Disclaimer: I do not own Strawberry Panic or any of its characters.

Author's Note: I really hate Kaname and Momomi, but I just have to put them in there for the sake of this story. Yeah, I'm about to do something terrible, but it will have a good ending.

Enjoy.

Hikari admires her Amane-sempai quite a lot. But in doing so, it irritates her best friend, Yaya. The raven haired girl could care less about this horse rider and she has her eyes set on the beautiful angel she sees every single day. She's her best friend and roommate. There was nothing else she could ask for. She fell in love with Hikari and kept her feelings to herself, even when Hikari had her sights on Amane.

However, to make things worse, Hikari has set herself as a target for the ruthless pair, Kaname and Momomi. Yaya doesn't know what they have against Hikari, but the most reasonable guess is because it has to do with Amane. She has to do something so that Hikari will move away from this "Prince" and Kaname and Momomi will leave her alone. But...there is only one option and this one may succeed or fail. After all, Hikari is so in love with Amane.

While walking outside that afternoon, the warm summer air all around, she is trying to look for Hikari so that they can practice their song together. However, she is nowhere to be found in neither their dorm room or the choir room. She decides to look outside to see if she's in the courtyard or not. Yaya is beginning to get extremely worried. If she's with Amane again, then it would be less chance of her trying to reach her heart. Hikari should stop obsessing over the tomboy.

Just then, she hears a scream coming from the distance. A high pitched one. Yaya can recognize that scream. It's from Hikari alright. It's all the way back to the Strawberry Dorms. Yaya must have done a head fake since she was sure Hikari left the room and into the choir room. She dashes toward the dorms, hoping she isn't too late.

Hikari...! Yaya thinks. I'm coming for you...!

She runs and runs until she gets to their room, but Hikari is still not there. Swiftly turning her head, she makes a run for it yet again. She knows exactly where else Hikari might be. She has to be sure of it. She speeds toward Kaname's room and bursts the door open.

Kaname is on top of Hikari, just about to strip her uniform when the tomboy and Momomi turn toward the angry raven haired girl.

"You..." Kaname straightens up and glares at the third year.

Yaya's only response is stomping toward the woman and actually punching her in the face, so hard that it hurt her jaw. Momomi gasps and quickly comes to her girlfriend's aid.

Yaya glares at them as she cracks her knuckles. "Nobody...touches...Hikari. Got it...!?"

"Y-Yaya-chan..." Hikari trembles like a leaf as she hugs herself.

Momomi glares at Yaya. "Why did you do that!? We were just having an important discussion!"

"Well is trying to rape my best friend part of the discussion!?" Yaya shouts. "I will have to report this later! You have no right to touch MY Hikari!"

"Yours?" Kaname manages to say. "That little thing just loves Amane. She has never loved you at all-ARGH!"

Yaya delivers a straight kick at Kaname's face, causing Momomi to gasp again.

"She's bleeding now!" The brunette cries.

"Great," Yaya says coldly. "That will match the ugliness of your soul."

"Yaya-chan!" Hikari clings onto her best friend. "No more! I just wanna leave!"

"Right, sorry," Yaya grabs her best friend's hand. She turns and glares at the ruthless pair. "If you two plan to touch Hikari again, you will meet my wrath."

And with that, Yaya and Hikari leave the dorm room with Momomi trying to comfort and treat Kaname's wound.

*Later*

Once Yaya and Hikari get to their own dorm room and the raven haired girl gently sets down the poor blonde. Yaya gets on her knees and places her hands on Hikari's shoulders, giving her a sympathetic look.

"Hikari..." Yaya whispers.

"Yaya-chan...it was so scary...!" The blonde starts to tremble and cry. "She..she was about to..."

"Shhhh...it's okay..." Yaya pulls the blonde into a tight hug. "You're safe with me. Okay?"

"Yaya-chan..." Hikari closes her eyes and let her tears fall.

The soft crying lasts for about 10 minutes until it stops. Yaya continues to hold the poor blonde in her arms for a bit longer. While doing that, the raven haired girl thinks this will be a great opportunity to tell her best friend how she truly feels. If she doesn't do it, there won't be another chance. Pulling away, Yaya grips her hands on Hikari's shoulders with a serious expression on her face.

"Hikari...please listen what I have to say," Yaya says.

"Eh...?" Hikari blinks twice.

Yaya swallows hard at this. It's now or never. "Hikari...I love you. Please go out with me!"

The blonde gasps at this. "Y-Yaya-chan...wh-whaaaa?"

"I'm serious," Yaya leans a bit closer. "I don't care if you love that Prince. She means nothing to you, trust me. You mean more to me than Amane-sama!"

"But...but I...!" Hikari starts to tear up, which breaks Yaya's heart to see that. "I love her...!"

"But does she really love you?" Yaya says. "Think about it. You two dated yes, but have either of you made a move on one another? Has Amane-sama loved you as a whole?"

"What...are you talking about..?" Hikari raises an eyebrow.

"What I'm saying is," Yaya says. "Hikari...you should forget about Amane-sama and go out with me. I will show you that I can love you way more than she can."

"Yaya-chan...I-I don't think..." Hikari doesn't know what to do or say at this point. Is Amane really like that with Hikari? She just fell in love with her without a second thought?

"Please..." Yaya desperately says as she leans in. "Please forget about Amane-sama..." With that in mind, she kisses Hikari on the lips.

The blonde's eyes widen just for a second. Yaya really meant what she said. She loves Hikari with all her heart, more than Amane. Hikari's eyes flutter shut, letting Yaya kiss her more. They embrace each other and deepen the kiss. Tongues coil around each other and soft moans are heard from both of them. They find themselves plopping down on the bed and kissing like there's no tomorrow.

"Hikari..." Yaya breathes in the same air as her best friend's. "I love you. Please...forget about Amane-sama..."

"Yaya...chan..." Hikari whispers and she gets kissed once again.

"Forget about Amane-sama..." Yaya whispers as she pulls away and caresses the blonde's cheek.

Hikari nods, tears stinging her eyes. "Yes...yes. Oh, goodness. Why didn't I realize it sooner? Yaya-chan...I'm so sorry..."

"Now you know..." Yaya says with a weak smile. "From now on, Hikari, I will love and protect you. My sweet little angel..."

"Oh, Yaya-chan..."

They press foreheads together with smiles on their faces.
