The Past Has No Place in My Heart

To the Readers: by Crystal...

Hi! Crissie is back! Thank You to the pipz who reviewed my fic, Camillelkx and Drops of Jelly and to the other pipol who read it. I'm sorry that I put so many Japanese things in it. I just can't resist! And for the fact that I updated so late, ran out of Internet card kasi. I'm not sure what will happen in this chapter, I'll just make it up as I go along. Please review so I can make it better! Just a reminder: I DON'T OWN SUPER GALS! Don't be offended, this is just so that there won't be any mess later.


"I have to get out of here!" Elile told herself

As she tried to get up, her legs began to feel like jelly. She was powerless, the kiss had driven her nuts. She started to make for the exit. It was only about 50 feet or so away, but she felt she was running slower than she could walk. Everything blurred in her sight and she saw seven figures standing before her. And as she reached near enough to touch them, it grew dark. There was a loud thud. She had fainted.

"Where am I?" Elile said. She was suddenly in another world, a place quite familiar... It was Osaka. Her home...

Or is it?

She saw Hiroku stand before her, as well as everything else that she used to know. It were her old friends, her family, her baby sister,Kina, and all the people whom she had loved and had loved her back. But at first she couldn't recognize them, as they looked like something that came from the dead. They all came toward her, with agony and desperation in their faces, each one moaning

"Come back to us!"

"You can't hide forever!"

"Give us back what you took from us!"

Elile backed away until she was up against a stone wall that had appeared out of nowhere. Hiroku pinned her against the wall and cried out

"You're trapped! You've got nowhere left to hide. I told you that I'd come back to you. No matter who or where you run to, I'll always come back to you..."

Slowly, everything else started to fade away once more but Hiroku's voice rang loud and clear in her head like a bell:

"I'll always come back to you..."


"Augh!" She opened her eyes and lunged herself forward. Where was she this time? She looked around, and discovered that it was a room. A cozy little bedroom. She put her hand to her forehead and frantically tried to remember the last thing that happened to her. It was all going on so fast she could hardly soak any of it in.

"That's right." She remembered "I had a dream"...

A nightmare is more like it.

She stood up and wandered around the room. She couldn't pluck up the courage to open the door and go out yet. So she had to make do with looking around inside. She looked out the windows. She opened the closet and the drawers but there was nothing useful but a bunch of bedsheets, towels, blankets and the like. As her eyes ran across the room, something ON the wall caught her attention. It was an old picture of a girl in what seemed to be garden. Elile gasped and ran to one of the windows. The garden in the picture was right before her eyes!

"I must be in the home of this girl. I must remember to thank her... Perhaps I should thank her now."

Slowly and silently, she walked towards the door and hesitated. She looked at the picture again and peered at the young woman closer. She looked so familiar...

"Hoshino-san!" Elile exclaimed out loud. It was a picture of Aya. After a few moments, the door slowly creaked open and Aya poked her head in saying "Nani?"

Elile let out a giggle and hugged Aya tightly saying "Arigatou Aya-san!"

"No problem." Aya replied tentatively

"But I still have one favor to ask." Elie asked her "If it's not too much, can you tell me what happened to me exactly before I blacked out?"

"That's a question we should be asking you" Aya replied annoyed. Besides, it wasn't her idea to let Elile stay at her guestroom, it was her friends', or more precisely, Rei's. That made her irritated, but Elile pouncing on her like a cat made her mad. She didn't want to be hugged by someone who wanted to steal Rei from her. But as usual, Elile was oblivious to the negative feelings of her new "tomodachi".

"Elile! You're awake!" a cheerful voice behind her chirped. It was Ran. She ran in and gave Elile a big hug and squeezed her until she finally started to wheeze.

"Nice to see you too Ran!" Elile replied chokily. Behind Ran was Rei, Yuuya and Miyu all looking very worried(Rei didn't look worried-duh!). But Elile's smile assured them all that she was fine.

They led her to the den of Aya's house where the maid brought in some muffins and lemonade. They were all curious to find out what had happened in the mall awhile ago. Elile took a big sip of lemonade and was silent for a moment. She didn't know what to tell them. Finally, she said "I just got tired Ran. I was wandering in the mall looking for you and I didn't have breakfast this morning so I guess that I just collapsed out of hunger or something like that." The others didn't seem like they believed her so she said "But at least I'm okay now, right?" That didn't really convince them either, but it was rational. I mean, Ran collapsed out of hunger a lot, it could really be possible that Elile does too.

Soon, everyone had just dismissed it as coincidence and soon they were all chatting away again as if nothing had happened. But Elile, despite her efforts to get in the conversation, could not help her mind drifting off to his voice in her head

"I'll always come back to you..."


"It's settled then."

Ran said "We'll go to Palm Tree restaurant after school tomorrow, since Rei and Yuuya have no classes." Elile smiled.

"I don't know why but the very thought of seeing Rei is getting me very excited!" she said happily.

Miyu was surprised at this and glanced at Aya. Aya scowled, she hated it when Elile talked about Otohata, it was always with fondness and she acted as if she knew everything about him. Miyu noticed this, but decided to keep quiet for the time being. She didn't want anyone to feel rejected, be it Aya or Elile.

"It's going to be a long day tomorrow." she thought to herself.

"I don't understand." Aya thought to herself as she walked to school. "Why am I feeling like this? Everything inside me is so blurry..."

"You will never understand how much I suffered

But despite all that you turn away,

You yourself might leave me,

But my love is here to stay..."

She entered the school campus. It was almost empty. She realized that she had come to school very early, not having much sleep last night.

"I won't sleep nor will I eat

All I can do is sacrifice.

I will defeat the doubt in your heart

I will battle all the lies..."

"Hoshino-san!" A girl called. It was her classmate, Sakura. "Hoshino-san! What do you think of the new girl, Elile Tsukino? Since I see that you hang out a lot, I think that your opinion would be much more relevant"

"Great." Aya thought "I came here just so I could get away from her and still I feel like the world revolves around her."

"I have no comment about her, And I don't hang with her, she hangs with Ran." Aya replied

Sakura gave a sneaky grin "Well, if you promise not to tell Hoshino, I've got some hot gossip about her!". Aya leaned closer as Sakura cupped her hands over Aya's ear and whispered

"Elile and Rei used to date a few years ago, before Elile moved to Osaka with her parents."

Sakura leaned back and faced Aya. "Some say that they broke up because they were more friends than lovers, but in my opinion, I guess that they weren't ready for a long-distace relationship. And now that Elile has moved here, I think they're going to be back for sure." Sakura sighed:

"And there goes my dream of being Mrs. Otohata..."

She then became silent and looked as if her mind was a million miles away. Aya glanced at her and thought "Oh no! I knew it! They are more than friends, I was right all along! Elile only came here for him..." She couldn't hold back the tears that were flowing down her cheeks. Not knowing what she was doing, she ran out of the school campus and into the empty streets of Shibuya(and believe it or not, Sakura didn't notice a thing).

Aya continued to run, unable to stop until she bumped into another person and fell flat onto the floor. "G-gomenasai! I wasn't looking sir and..."

"What are you crying about this time!" an irritated voice asked her.

As she looked up, she gasped and wished that she had stayed at the school campus instead of bumping into him.

Yup, you got that right, Rei.


Back at Hounan High, everyone had started arriving, including Ran, Miyu and Elile.

"Where is Aya?" Miyu asked sounding worried "Classes is about to start and she isn't here yet."

"She's just probably late." Elile tryed to reassure her

"Aya is never late." Ran told her "She has perfect academic grades in everything, even punctuality."

"Unlike some people I know," Miyu said sarcastically "Who on the other hand, fail their academic grades in everything."

"Put a sock in it Miyu, or else I'm gonna have to..." Ran began when,

"KOTOBUKI!"

It was Naka-teach. "You'll have to do what? You'll pick a fight! If you don't want me to report you to the principal's office, you better head to the classroom, NOW!" he barked.

"All right, all right, no need to shout at me you know." Ran replied smugly.

"MARCH!"


Meanwhile, in the other side of town. The wind cuts sharply through the empty streets, leaves encircle the air gently as the moment of confrontation comes once again for two young lovers.

"Rei, Please... Tell me the truth. It hurts so much right now..." Aya stammered. "I'm begging you, just this once, listen to me..."

Rei could only look at her with his hard, icy blue eyes. He didn't say anything, but the slight twinkle in his eyes told her that he was listening.

"Say something!" she cried out, but was responded with silence.

Aya knew where this was going. She'd been here before. She was going to pour her heart out to Rei and he would just watch her suffer coldly. After that, he would just leave her at the end with nothing but the cold rain and the aching feeling of her burning heart. Her conscience begged her not to say a word, as she would fall apart if she did. One question rang through their minds,

Hatred, Jealousy, Humiliation, Longing, Anger, Confrontation, Decision, Heartbreak...

Would Love be able to conquer all that?


Uhmmm... That's it! Drops of Jelly told me to put up my third chappie A.S.A.P so I had to rush it. She's my batchmate, kasi. I'll try to improve my storylines in the future chappies too. I know this one totally sucks. I also need to plan the next chappie pah. By the way, those bold quotes throughtout the chappie are juz there to add the drama, in case it's confusing you...
