Ryoko – Kay, so this chapter will be shorter than usual, because Bittersweet Romance is ending in one more chapters after this. Like I've said before, yes there will be a sequel, and it will start after I come back from vacation.

Rima – You see, they aren't allowed computers or laptops where she's staying.

Ryoko – Sucks huh? I'll try to fit in the last chapter in this chapter or in the next. Probably the next, before I leave!


The next day Ryoko met up with Haine in their studio. Yuki and Sunny were late as usual, and then Ushio was half an hour early – she was there before Haine. Ryoko sat patiently with Ushio and Sunny while Yuki fidgeted. Haine coughed to get her sisters' attention.

"Ryoko," Haine smiled.

"Okay, so guys, I decided Rima-chan should win the audition." Ryoko said.

"I second Rima-chan's nomination," Sunny said sweetly.

"I second it too~" Ushio said giggling know she said it incorrectly.

"So, I guess Rima-chan wins?" Yuki grinned.

"Yeah, guess so," Sunny replied.

"NO!" Haine yelled.

"What?" the four sisters asked.

"My vote count as five!" Haine yelled.

"That's not fair! Who do you vote!" Ryoko asked.

"I vote Rima-chan~" Haine snickered.

"Oh wow Himeko-hime…" Ushio smiled.

"Ushio!" Haine whined. "Oh, by the way, I appointed Kiraa Kitakyushu as Rima's on tour assistant manager. Meaning he decides where she travels and all that."

"WHAT NOOO I WANTED TO DO IT WITH USHIO OR SUNNY!" Ryoko screamed.

"Ushio has her singles to record, and Sunny has her duets with Utsukushii-chan and her other duets with Airashii-chan." Haine said strictly.

"Airashii?" Ryoko asked. "HEY THAT'S MY MIDDLE NAME!"

"No, shut up…" Haine replied. "First meeting with Kiraa is after this meeting!"

"NOOOO!" Ryoko screamed grasping her head in agony.


"What do you got planned?" Ryoko asked boringly.

"Almost everything," Kiraa replied.

"Tell me what I want to hear…" Ryoko hissed.

"And that is?" Kiraa asked.

"Her debut song and stage set," the violet sliver haired girl replied.

"Well, I thin she should use Chocolate Magic, the song that you wanted to use for your debut, and Candy Land as the set."

"I like how you think… WAIT HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT CHOCOLATE MAGIC?"

"Having your girlfriend as a Saruwatari is awesome,"

"I never sang it so it doesn't count as whatchamacallit... plagiarism." Ryoko mused. "Interesting,"

"Any other information wanted?" Kiraa asked.

"And where is she going?" Ryoko asked. Kiraa smirked.

"Let's see… she's going to…" Kiraa whispered the last part, and Ryoko stared at him.

"I'M HER MANAGER AND I WON'T ALLOW IT!" Ryoko yelled.

"Why not?" Kiraa asked.

"You know why!" Ryoko snarled slapping him across the face.

"I'm her assistant manager! Haine told me what I say is final!" Kiraa said.

Ryoko put her ribbon back into her hair, and stalked away from Kiraa.

"So, I guess I take this as you surrender?" Kiraa asked smirking.

"No… for Rima's sake… I can't…" Ryoko said her voice cracking.

"Turn around," Kiraa said softly.

"No…" Ryoko replied her voice now shaky. Little did Kiraa know, Ryoko was crying.

"Are you crying?" Kiraa asked.

"YOU STUPID KUSO MESU INU!" Ryoko yelled full out crying.

"Whoa, don't swear!" Kiraa said.

"I'M GOING TO FIND RIMA-CHAN!"


Rima found Ryoko crying on her doorstep, and invited her in. Rima tapped Ryoko on the shoulder kindly.

"What's wrong?" Rima asked. Ryoko clung onto the smaller teen.

"I'm sorry Rima! I'm sorry you were chosen to win!" Ryoko cried. "I'm sorry I ever held this contest!"

"Ryoko, Ryoko, calm down! What's going on?" Rima asked.

"I'm so sorry! I'm not amazing! I'm not how you think! I'm not the Ryoko who can stop anything that affects her friends!" Ryoko screamed.

"What!" Rima asked.

"Nagihiko and you…. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Ryoko yelled.

"WHAT! EXPLAIN ALREADY!" Rima yelled back.

"You… you're… Kiraa…. He decided it!" Ryoko said. "I'm sorry this had to happen, I wish it didn't…"


Ryoko – Confused?

Rima – I'll bet they are.

Ryoko – I can't update for a while, this is all I could fit in before my parents started to yell at me! Sayonara, yes, as in a long term good-bye, I have to leave lie every year, I'll update as soon as I can after I come back! Sore wa yakusoku daijōbu desu ka? Tanoshimi Ni shite mite, kono fanfikushon Ni kyōmi o ushinau koto wa shi naide kudasai! Shite kudasai!
