One Small Wish…
Chapter two: Memories from the Past
Ritsu plopped down on her bed. Hundreds of thousands of thoughts racing through her mind. The dazed girl could only replay the scene that happened earlier, and that one sentence echoed in her mind repeatedly.
"I wish I never met you."
A depressing feeling overcame the small brunette, and she buried herself under her bed covers, crying silently so no one could hear her. Eventually she fell asleep, tossing and turning being tormented with nightmares.
Mio, on the other hand, was quite happy with what she said and sat on her desk's chair. She pondered her thoughts.
"Life without Ritsu? Man, a ton of things wouldn't have happened."
She started to close her eyes and dreamt about a world without Ritsu.
Without Ritsu, I wouldn't be teased, everyone would respect me. I wouldn't have gotten my timid nature. I would've done the things I wanted to do. I wouldn't be stuck with hell on Earth. This girl…
Maybe I really do wish for her to be gone.
The next day came and not a word was uttered from the two to each other. They still went to the club, but never once did they talk. Tsumugi, Azuza, and Yui started to get really concerned.
"Mugi-Senpai, what should we do…?"
"I… I'm not sure…"
"Hey guys! Let's practice! The festival is coming up!" Yui shouted at the top of her lungs. So loud even, that the whole school could hear. Mio and Ritsu looked at Yui with a smile.
"Yeah. We should practice."
"Let's go."
After a few minutes of playing one of their hit singles, "Fuwa Fuwa Time", Mio started to look aggravated at Ritsu.
"Man! That was a intense practice!" Ritsu grabbed her water bottle and chugged the cold, clear liquid down her throat.
"That was pretty good guys!" Azuza complimented their performance.
"We're definitely going to play this at the festival, right Azu-Nyan?" Yui lunged at Azuza and hugged her tight.
"Mou~ Yui-Senpai~ Stop it~"
Is it just me, or is Azuza-Chan enjoying it? Mugi smiled with her thoughts.
"Yeah, it was good, but…" Mio looked at Ritsu, "Ritsu, you were playing the drums way too fast during the chorus."
"What? It sounded fine to me! It's all about energy! Energy!" Ritsu pounded on the desk with her hands imitating a boom sound.
"But we need to attract more freshman during the festival Ritsu-San!"
Ritsu's eyes widened. "Wha-…?"
Mio looked at Ritsu with a questioning look. "What do you mean, wha?"
Mugi gulped and whispered to Azuza, "I really hope this doesn't cause another fight…"
"Mio-Senpai… Ritsu-Senpai… Please stop fighting…"
"You… You just called me Ritsu-San. I thought you usually call me Ritsu, or at least Ritcchan."
"Ritsu-San-" She used that word again… "You are my friend, yes, but I don't think it fits to call you Ritcchan anymore."
It felt like a bolt of lighting struck through her heart, shattered it to pieces, and was flung out the window as if it were trash.
"Oh…"
Yui looked sullen, Azuza looked devastated, Mugi was frantically pacing around the room thinking what to do.
"N-Now, snacks! Snacks!" Mugi put a plate of cookies out for them to eat.
"Yay! Cookies! My favorite snack!" Yui grabbed a nice sugar lemon cookie and started to eat it.
"Ne, Yui-Senpai. I thought cakes were your favorite."
"Well, I guess I like them both!"
The whole room burst out in laughter. Azuza smiled. Please bring the Senpais back…
"Here Mio! Catch!" Ritsu tossed a chocolate chip cookie into Mio's hands.
"Huh?" Mio caught the cookie and blushed. "Ah… I don't think I can eat this, I'm on a diet and-"
"Mio, it's just a cookie. You should be fine." Ritsu smiled genuinely at Mio, as if the fight never happened. Mio blushed and bit into the cookie, it was pure bliss.
"Y-Yeah… Thanks."
"How about one for me?"
"Kya!" Mio stumbled onto the floor on top of Ritsu.
"Sawa-Sensei! You know how timid Mio-Senpai is! Don't scare her like that!"
"Huh? Sorry you two, I just couldn't help smelling the cookies~"
"You're unbelievable…"
Mio was squirming around where she fell. It's too soft… Wait a sec-
The raven-haired maiden just recognized what she was on top of.
"A-Ah!" Mio got off of Ritsu with a crimson blush finding it's usual spot on Mio's face.
"S-Sorry Ritsu!"
"Agh… Maybe if you lost weight it wouldn't of hurt that much." Says Ritsu in a teasing tone.
"I-Idiot!" Mio hits Ritsu on the head. "This is exactly what I meant when I said that you always took the chance to make fun of me!"
"Ouch… you ever thought of having a career in boxing? That was one hell of a punch…."
"Ritcchan are you ok!" Yui runs over to Ritsu and kneels beside her.
"Stand down, private Yui, I can take this myself. Just take care of this Dangerous Queen-"
"Captain, run!"
"huh?"
"TAINAKA RITSU!"
Ritsu stumbles onto her feet and runs out of the clubroom. With an angry Mio following soon after.
"Mio! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"
"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS RITSU!"
Mio chases Ritsu into a empty classroom and corners her. The brunette had no chance against an angry Mio, and was pinned to the wall.
"M-Mercy, Mio-Sama!"
But instead of taking a hard punch to the head. The taller girl remained silent.
"…Mio?"
"Ritsu…. I really do wish…"
Ritsu's eyes widened as she saw tears fall from Mio's face.
"I really do wish I never would've met you."
Mio fled from the room, but if she stayed just a bit longer, she would've discovered that she wasn't the only one crying at that moment.
"She really does want me out of her life…." The brunette slouched down and curled up in the corner of the room.
"They're taking a long time down there…" Mugi said
"Mugi-Chan, they'll be fine… right?"
"All we can do now is hope, Yui-Senpai."
Yui strikes her heart. "Captain Ritcchan knows that her private will always be there for her! Isn't that right, private Azu-Nyan?"
"S-Since when was I part of you and Ritsu-Senpai's little game?"
Mugi just looks out of the club window. The cherry trees are about to bud its flowers. The wind is gracefully stroking the pale grass on the ground level. She recalls memories from the past.
A beautiful blond girl emerges from the door of the auditorium and spots a girl with brown hair, amber eyes, and a headband. Next to the girl is a tall, raven haired girl. It looks like they were talking about something important.
"Um, is this the choir club?" The young blond freshman stands politely in front of the spunky brunette, but the brunette just goes up to her and grabs her shoulders.
"Hey! You're here to join the Light Music Club right?"
"Um, n-no, I was looking fo-"
"Please join! Please!"
"Ritsu! Don't force her!"
BAM
"OW! Gosh Mio, that hurt! Dangerous Queen…" The amber eyed girl mumbled the last sentence.
A faint giggle escapes from the blond girl's lips. The brunette and the raven haired girl turn around towards her.
"You guys sure are funny, I think I'll join this club."
"REALLY? Thank you so much!" The brunette hugs the blond girl. The taller girl sweat-drops.
"What's your name?"
"It's Tsumugi."
"Woah! Thanks Tsumugi-San!"
"A-Actually, just call me Mugi. I don't really like formalities."
"Oh, ok. So what do you play Mugi-San?"
"Mugi-Chan's fine. And I play the piano and keyboard. I don't know if it's much talent, but-"
"No, No! This is great! All we need is a guitarist! A guitarist!"
"I suggest we make some flyers then."
"I agree with Mugi-Chan. Let's start first thing tomorrow."
"Best of luck to all of us!"
And the three smiling girls left the auditorium.
The blond haired girl laughs at her fond memories.
That's how the band was formed. That's was how it started…
"Mugi-Senpai? What'cha laughing about?"
"Nothing really… Just remembering some old memories."
A clumsy brunette stumbles in front of Tsumugi. She can't get a hold of herself and is shaking and trembling.
"Mugi-Chan! Mugi-Chan! I got a phone call from Mio! She said she's going to quit the club!"
Mugi's smile instantaneously turned into a frown.
"Mio…Mio-Chan's… Leaving?"
