Wow! I'm surprised that so many people are reviewing. Why, I never could have dreamed... ::sniffle sniffle:: Thank you!!! Sorry for the rather long wait to update. I'll try to keep updating as often as I can. Truth be told, I wasn't even sure where I was gonna take the story from there, but I've got a plan now. Aha! Well, now for your entertainment here's chapter 5!

Chapter 5

"Tooya? What the heck is Tooya doing here?" Yuuhi said angrily.

"Great. This is just great. He's coming back for Aya isn't he? NO! He can't! Aya likes me now!"

Aya just stood unmoving in shock. Her jaw was slightly dropped and her eyes were full of sadness and confusion. Her legs slowly began to buckle and had Yuuhi not been holding onto her, she would have fallen down.

"He's back... Why though? And why am I feeling so confused again?" Aya thought ignoring the conversation that was happening around her.

Chidori gasped, "Oh! This can't be good..." She glanced at Suzumi who was also very surprised and confused.

"I still do love Tooya."

"I think the question is, why is Tooya with Mrs. Q.? What the heck is going on around here?" Suzumi asked with a puzzled look.

"But that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't love me."

"I don't know, but this is just turning out to be one heck of a day. Why is he here!?" Yuuhi said aggravated. "He's not supposed to be here!"

"Or maybe he does... That's why he came back for me! He does love me!"

"Maybe Mrs. Q. has a secret life that we don't know about..." Chidori said. She gasped again. "What if Mrs. Q. is a celestial maiden too!"

"But what about Yuuhi? I thought I loved him... I at least like him a lot, a very lot. All of these things he's done for me. I think I might..." Aya was ripped out of her thoughts by a few short sentences.

"Oh, puh-lease. That's not possible. Celestial maidens are beautiful and Mrs. Q. is... well not," Yuuhi pointed out. "Let's just face the facts. Tooya just came back for Aya to make my life miserable. I mean doesn't he know that I like her already???"

All three women peeled their eyes off of the car speeding toward them and stared at Yuuhi. Aya wore the same look of confusion on her face that she had a month earlier when she had been deciding whether it was Tooya or Yuuhi she truly loved. She was back to square one. She had thought she loved Yuuhi, but that was when she thought Tooya was out of the picture entirely. Now with him right there in the car that was growing closer to her, she didn't know for sure.

"Yuuhi does really like me, and I really like him. I don't know what to do! Maybe if I could just hobble out of the way and hide behind a bush. Tooya won't see me then. Ohh! But I really want to see him!"

Chidori had her trademark surprised face on and was delighted to hear Yuuhi finally admit it while Suzumi was the opposite. Her eyes narrowed as she prepared to nail Yuuhi with a speech he'd never forget.

"I knew it! You like her! Get your hands off her! You're such a pervert!" Suzumi blurted out angrily. She ripped his arm off of Aya's shoulder causing her to hop around on one foot.

"Hey!" she yelled helplessly continuing to hop. "I was in the middle of thinking! What's the big idea here!"

"What'd you do that for? Isn't a person free to like another person?" Yuuhi yelled back at Suzumi reached to grab Aya and prevent her from falling down.

"Not when they're a celestial maiden! You were told to keep and eye on her and that's all! If I find out that you've done anything perverted to her it's the end of you!" Suzumi scolded as she swatted his hands with her fan and reached out to grab Aya herself. Unfortunately she didn't make it in time and Aya fell to the ground with a thud.

"Thanks so much you guys," Aya said sarcastically as she lay staring up at the bickering pair. They stood, heads bent over, looking at her with gaping mouths. Meanwhile the car had reached the curbside and screeched to a stop.

"Aya, I'm so sorry! I reached over and then..." they both sweetly tried to explain as they began to lift her back up.

Aya turned her head away from them with her eyes squinted and held her arm outstretched in front of her with her palm showing to notify them to stop. "That's quite all right. I think I'm safer down here anyway," she said.

Yuuhi and Suzumi backed off glaring at each other.

"See, now look what you did!" both thought simultaneously.

Chidori was already up next to the car and staring into the window at Tooya. He wasn't moving. His eyes weren't open and there was a big red mark on his forehead as though he had been hit by something recently.

"Mrs. Q., what's going on here? Is he sleeping?" Chidori asked hoping that that was the reason Tooya was in the front seat passed out.

"Oh, no. Afraid not. I had to hit him with my umbrella to get him to come along." Mrs. Q. said smiling.

"You what?!" Yuuhi shouted.

"Well, you didn't expect he'd come voluntarily now did you?" Mrs. Q. replied with a chuckle.

"Why the heck would we want him to come here voluntarily?" Yuuhi exclaimed in annoyance.

Aya and Suzumi gave him an unamused look.

"I mean, why the heck wouldn't we want him to come here voluntarily? Hehe," he replied sheepishly pretending to correct himself.

"Mrs. Q. why did you bring him here?" Aya asked.

"I brought him here for you. You looked so lonely, like a little tot without his lollipop, like a monkey without a banana, like a butterfly..." Mrs. Q. began with a beautiful list of comparisons, "...that had it's wings chopped off and brutally ripped into pieces." Leave it to Mrs. Q. to turn a beautiful simile into a murderous rampage.

"She looked lonely?" Yuuhi asked slightly taken aback at this remark. He looked a little hurt, but even if he was, he covered it with anger.

"Well, yeah. This poor girl had her first and only true love taken away and now she just can't live without him!" Mrs. Q. said dramatically pointing to Aya.

Aya mouthed the word what stuttering as she did it. No words were coming out because her mouth had suddenly gone dry. Yuuhi luckily asked the question she had meant to.

"What? Are you blind?! Aya's been perfectly fine. She was damn near cured and over this whole ordeal until you had to go and bring him here!" Yuuhi yelled.

Mrs. Q. stared back at him blankly. Then she got out of the car and walked over to Aya who was still sitting on the ground. "No, no. I think you were just reading her wrong. She's really very miserable without him." Mrs. Q. grabbed Aya's cheeks. "Does this look like the face of a happy person? Huh? HUH?"

"No, it's not. Aya would be much better off with Tooya than Yuuhi," Suzumi answered.

"WHAT?!" Yuuhi shouted.

"Oh... Yuuhi, you liked Aya too? Oh, well, maybe now it's time you went to your real secret love, Chidori!" Mrs. Q. announced.

Chidori's jaw dropped, "Yuuhi, you like me???" She began to smile and bat her eyes at him.

"You like Chidori?! YOU'RE SUCH A PERVERT! Hitting on two girls at the same time!" Suzumi yelled swatting Yuuhi countless times with her fan.

"No! NO! Mrs. Q. what is going on here? I don't like Chidori!"

Chidori's smile disappeared.

"Don't deny it now. I set this all up for you two," Mrs. Q. said smiling sweetly.

"You can't just play matchmaker like that! If you were any help at all, you would have set Aya up with me. Instead you just created a huge problem."

Mrs. Q. frowned, "I didn't mean to." She started to bawl.

"Mrs. Q., stop. It's okay. We'll just drive him back to wherever you got him from," Yuuhi said patting her awkwardly on the back.

"No! They can't do that! Then I'll never know for sure who I really love. We have to keep Tooya with us for a while to see if he remembers me now," Aya thought hopingly.

"No! I want him to stay!" Aya yelled out.

Yuuhi looked at her sadly. It felt like his heart had just been ripped right out of his chest. For a moment he forgot to breathe. His complexion turned pale and his eyes stared unblinking and full of sorrow. He was crushed. His mind went blank and he couldn't think to himself.

"Y-you want him to stay?"

"Yes," she said softly, "I'm sorry, Yuuhi."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! It can't be! It just can't! ::sob:: What will happen next? Even I, the author, do not know. Hehe. I know at the begininning I announced I had a plan, but now I'm not so sure. LoL! Leave it to me, the decision maker. I'll have to decide which way I want this to turn out. I have some ideas, but it never hurts for fellow readers to voice their opinions. : ) This isn't even how I had originally planned for the story to go, I wanted it to be all happy and peppy. It would have just been boring then though. So, let the drama commence! (Also, please review!)
