Disclaimer: Dude, are you mental or something? What do you think?
All right, I can say I got enough reviews to make a 'Chapter 2'. Well, flames are welcome and reviews make most people write faster. ;)
R&R and possibly, like my other stories, since I love you all so much, I'll write a bonus. Dedicated to all the people who reviewed. I was so happy that you all reviewed. You are all wonderful people and this was written with you in mind! Here it goes!
----------------------------------------START--------------------------------------------------------
Himeko sighed. It was annoying her. Ever since she and her crush had gone out for a drink, she had felt guilty for causing her so much trouble. Chikane knew she didn't mean it but…still, another thing bothered her.
The fact that she still had to confess to her. The blonde miko wanted to say it so badly, and lift this weight off her shoulders. Himeko really wanted to! Still, how could she!? Himeko had known Chikane ever since she was little, and still, she was unsure. Chikane had feelings toward her, and she knew that. But just saying those three little words could ruin both of their lives. Well, if she fails, she could always go out with Soma, but he was just her childhood friend and it was just silly. Soma was helping them repel the Orochi, but he was also part of them. Himeko had to do it. Just approach her and say it. "….I don't know how to…" She touched the solar symbol on her chest and felt tears run down her face. "What if she hates me!? I could never live with myself!"
The blonde miko sat up from her bed and walked out of her dorm and just decided to go to Chikane's house. "I just hope she doesn't mind." She walked out of the Ototachibana school dorms. "Maybe I should talk to Mako-chan before I go…but she'll never let me live this down if I tell her- -" Himeko stopped in her tracks and stood still. "What am I saying anyway!?" Himeko bent over with her hands over her mouth whispering to herself. "Chikane is only a close friend! But…!"
The blonde miko wiped away her tears and continued walking. "Even though I was drunk, and didn't know what I was talking about, did that make our relationship any less real? Even though it was misunderstood, how does that change anything?"
Himeko smiled to herself as she wiped a tear away from her eyes. "I'm so silly, talking to myself like this…how pathetic."
----------------------------CHIKANE'S MANSION--------------------------------------
Himeko hesitated, thinking about her last shred of dignity, before finally ringing the bell.
"Hopefully she'll be here. I haven't seen her since yesterday back in my dorm room." No sooner was the doorbell rang that a familiar face answered the door. It was Otoha, Chikane's personal maid. Her blonde curls fell over her slender body while her maid's dress framed her body perfectly. Himeko almost blushed. She knew Otoha also liked Chikane and couldn't imagine taking up a challenge with her of all people. She was…just so pretty.
Otoha blinked and looked at Himeko and smiled weakly. "It's nice to see you." The blonde miko nodded and bowed to her sincerely. "Excuse my intrusion, but can I see Chikane?" The blonde haired maid blinked and smiled. "I'm sorry, but I thought she was with you. That was the last time I saw her." Himeko gasped lightly and nodded again. "I understand. Thank you." Otoha's crooked eyes showed that she was concerned, but she bowed and closed the door to the mansion quietly.
------------------------------LATER-----------------------------------------------------------------
Himeko walked home slowly. "Well, I might as well just wait for her to come home." The blonde miko sighed in defeat and entered her room. "What could I do to make confessing…easier?" What a stupid question. She knew there was no easy way. It was just love, it would always be hard. She smiled lightly as she raised her fist in the air. "All right! I swear to confess to her as soon as she walks in this door!" Himeko chirped while brushing off her outfit and sitting down. "I'll tell Chikane my feelings! Tell her I love me more than life itself!" Just as she finished her sentence with a childlike giggle, she heard the door open, and her face ran pale. Someone had listened to the whole thing, and she could only imagine the humiliation. Just as she spun around to clear things up, she saw who actually was standing in the doorway. It was Chikane, blood flushed into her face and her eyes wide. Himeko almost fainted from shock, but as able to look Chikane in the eyes, surprisingly. The black haired miko stood still and began to speak. "Himeko…are you…serious?"
The blonde haired miko, with a light blush still on her face stood up smiling. "That's right! I do…and thanks for coming home. It saved me some trouble." The black haired miko blushed even deeper, knowing she had wanted to confess the whole time, and smiled back. "Well, that means the feeling is mutual. I don't have to say anything." Chikane smiled and patted Himeko on the head.
"Wow, she is so cool!" As Himeko's little train of thought derailed itself, she hardly noticed the soft and hesitate peck on the lips. "I'll say it anyway, I love you." The black haired miko winked at her while Himeko smiled and lightly kissed her on her soft cheek.
"Thank you….Chikane."

I have a feeling that the ending was so bad that you all want a bonus. If you do, I'll need some reviews! Until then, sayonara minna-san!
