AN: I lied...this chapter isn't better than the previous one. ;_;

Warning: short chapter ahead. Durr, I tried writing it while I was mad and...well, it didn't turn out right, so it ended up like this. Ehehe.. I hope it's not that bad. ^^

Chapter 3: Wrath

"YUI, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" Azusa shouted as she glared at Yui, her fists clenched.

"All you ever do is depend on others for everything! Would you please grow up! I'm tired of having to put up with your child-like behavior!" She lashed out at Yui. Her face was red and her breathing was heavy, like she had just ran a marathon. But it really did take her a lot of energy to tell her senpai off.

The only thing said senpai could do was stare at her enraged kouhai with wide eyes. What Azusa said was true. She really did just depend on others for everything. She acted like a kid, and she was a burden to her poor little Azunyan.

"A-Azunyan... Gome—" Yui was cut off when Azusa said something that shattered her heart.

"No, Yui. Don't talk to me until you act your age." Azusa turned around, and after getting Muttan and his case, she marched out of Yui's room, closing the door with a bang.

She wasn't able to see the pained expression on Yui's face.

It was two days after Azusa's first kiss had been stolen.

Practice had just finished, and Mio went home immediately with Ritsu, saying something about doing Ritsu's homework. The bassist seemed irritated as she dragged the crying drummer out of the room.

Yui had also gone home already since she promised to walk home with Nodoka, and Ui was waiting for her as well.

The only one left in the room was Azusa, who had to talk to Mugi. The blonde would always stay so she could talk to their club adviser, Sawako, so Azusa thought that now should be the perfect time for her to consult Mugi about these peculiar feelings she's been having ever since that happened. Sawako hadn't arrived yet, so it was just the two of them in the room.

"U-um.. M-Mugi-senpai, could I talk to you for a while?" Azusa asked as she approached the keyboardist, who was preparing the former rock-star's dessert.

The rhythm guitarist didn't want to bother Mugi with her problem, but she had to get something off her chest. That, and Mugi was the perfect person to talk to when it comes to...special love.

The blonde ojou-sama turned to Azusa, smiling. "Hm? What is it, Azusa-chan?" She asked, her motherly voice helping the nervous kouhai relax a bit. Mugi knew what Azusa wanted to talk about, and she was excited to have this conversation with her.

Azusa walked over to her chair and took her seat. She waited for the blonde to take her seat beside her before she started.

Azusa took a deep breath in, mustering up the courage to start this conversation. "Well..." She started lamely, "I-it has something to do with what happened the other day..." Azusa was fiddling her thumb and her face was red. I must look stupid right now, she thought to herself.

Mugi smiled, that dreamy expression on her face again. Her sky-blue eyes were sparkling, and she looked like a puppy staring at a bag of treats.

"What about it, Azusa-chan?" She said as she snapped back to reality.

"Um...I've been feeling k-kinda weird when i'm around Yui-senpai since then...um-"

She was cut off when she saw Sawako enter the room.

Azusa immediately stood up and bowing at Mugi.

"I-i'll just talk to you some other time, senpai! T-thank you." She said as she grabbed her things and rushed out the room. She hoped Sawako didn't hear what she said.

That wasn't the case, though, because she heard something that made her flinch.

"She's in love with Yui." She heard her teacher and senpai say.

S-Sawako-sensei and Mugi-senpai are wrong! I would never l-like Yui-senpai in that way. Azusa thought as she marched down the street on the way to the train station.

She wondered why Ui and Jun weren't in the living room. She had half-expected them to stop her, but right now she was glad they weren't there to do that.

She had to get as far away from Yui as possible.

I hate Yui-senpai! She acts like such a k-kid, she makes me lose my pace, s-she's a bad influence to m-me! I should hang out with p-people like Mio-senpai... n-not that baka Yui. Azusa nodded to herself as if she made a decision. She really would not talk to Yui until she acts more mature. It was also for Yui's good, right?

She shook her head. Why do you have to make me so confused, senpai! She groaned. Was she really mad at Yui? Could she really hate the innocent girl for acting like herself?

Did she really want Yui to change?

So many questions. Azusa's head was starting to hurt alot.

What's wrong with me...? The poor little kouhai had tears forming on the edge of her eyes. She knew she would feel bad about shouting at Yui eventually, but she didn't know it would be this soon.

She started feeling guilty about saying what she said. It's not like Yui could help acting the way she did... it was how she grew up. She couldn't just change how she is. It wasn't Yui's fault.

Azusa stopped dead in her tracks.

I'm such an idiot...

She took a deep breath in, tilting her head back to stop the tears from flowing down her face. What was I thinking...? Oh gosh...Yui-senpai must be really hurt... Ah god, I hate myself!

She clenched her fist once more, this time not because of Yui, but because of herself.

I should apologize...I can't believe I did tha—

She gasped as she felt familiar arms gently wrap around her middle. Her body started shaking as she felt hot breath tickling her ear.

Y-Yui...?

"Gomen ne, Azusa..."

Her eyes widened as her tears started streaming down her face. S-she followed me..?

She turned around in Yui's arms and looked up at the girl. "S-senpai..."

"D-don't cry, Azusa-chan.." Yui said as she cupped her kouhai's cheeks, brushing the tears off her face with her thumb. "I-I'm sorry I was acting so childish..." She leaned her forehead on Azusa's and looked into her eyes.

"Please forgive me."

Azusa's eyes widened even more, if that was possible. She could see nothing but love in her senpai's eyes, and the sad smile on her face showed just how sorry she really was.

"S-senpai, y-you don't have to say sorry... it was my fau—"

"I love you, Azusa."

Azusa felt soft lips press hers. Her heart started pounding on her chest, and she started feeling a little bit light-headed.

This is so cliché, senpai, but...

Tears continued flowing down her face as she lightly smiled. She kissed back, her arms moving up to wrap around Yui's neck, pulling the girl closer.

...I love you too...
