Mio's POV
Okay, I started to think that Ritsu almost took all the opening POVs in this story. So right now, I'll took it over from here, because it's just not fair for me.
Enough with the crap let me tell you something that has been happening to me and there's no one knows about this, even my girlfriend, Tainaka Ritsu. I just can't let her know about this, she'll be angry and I can't think of the worst thing happen if she finds out. Well, it all started after Ritsu told me that her mom was okay with our relationship, I couldn't be happier than that and it's just so relieving that my biggest fear has gone.
At least for now.
After that, Ritsu walk me home. Well, she always did though, so it's one of our habits now, I guess. However, I feel uneasy for some reason, it's not Ritsu because thank God that He let Ritsu behave today, means that she didn't do anything as far as taking my hand all the way or even kiss me when there's no one around. There's something else, I feel someone has been watching over me, because I don't feel there are only Ritsu and I in this street. Then when we pass by the park, the bushes moved a bit and I swear that I just saw a pair of eyes looking straight to our direction.
I flinched, because believe it or not, I just made an eye-contact with that pair of eyes. Ritsu noticed my weird act, so she stopped and held me by the hand, then frowning at me. She asked me, what's wrong and why am I looking so pale like a sick people. Ritsu afraid that I might get sick, but I tell her there's nothing wrong and I was just tired. Then we continue walking towards my house.
It's not end that day, because the fact is it keeps happening for almost the rest of the week.
That's when I realized that it's a stalker, I thought that maybe it's one of those members in my fan club, so I decided to talk to Nodoka and tell her that there's someone stalking me this week. Nodoka informed it to the fan club—of course I'm not joining—and I could only sighed in a bit of relieve. The next day, the stalker still doing the same thing and it started to piss me off. Now I really wanted to tell Ritsu about it, but then again, I guess it's not a really good idea to start with.
Then Saturday comes, early in the morning, I got a text message. No, actually I got two text messages, one from Ritsu (Obviously) and the other is from... Unknown number. It made me frowned, and when I opened the message, it says...
"Hy there, Akiyama-san. It's me, Matsumoto Kaguya, remember? Don't ask me how did I get your number, because you wouldn't believe me if I tell you. Anyway, please save my number, and I hope we could talk more or maybe hang-out together some time. Okay, sorry to disturb you in the morning, have a nice day~ -Kaguya"
What in the world is this guy thinking? Okay, I understand that he had no idea that I'm dating Ritsu right now, but sending me some text message like this early in the morning it's just kind of disturbing me. If it's urgent, I might consider it, but he only asked me to save his number and hoping that we could talk and hang-out together. Maybe I really should tell him that I'm not single anymore, well I don't have to mention anything about Ritsu, I'm just going to tell him that I'm taken.
I planned to do it after I finish take a quick bath. But it seems that I forgot about it and it made me totally forgot about all things that involved him, moreover, when Ritsu collapsed all of a sudden at the school really made me forgot about all the things. That's when I checked my cell and I got like twenty text messages and more than ninety missed-calls. I mean, how can I not notice when it rang or at least vibrating in my pocket or my bag? When I see from who that was, I decides to just... let it go and don't care about it.
The night comes, and I can't help but feeling so uneasy with the entire stalker thing that has been happening to me this week. I told no one about it and I just can't believe that I saved his number with his name on my cell phone.
When I hang out at Ritsu's house, I excused myself to the bathroom. I don't think I take long, so when I go back to Ritsu's room, I found my cell phone was not in the same place where I put on the bed. It's weird, and moreover, Ritsu is sweating a little bit. Noticing there's something wrong with it, I grabbed my cell and plopped myself back next to Ritsu. Before I go to the bathroom, I snuggling with Ritsu, but now I don't think it's a good idea because I thought that Ritsu might be know about Matsumoto-san that has been texting me like ninety-percents of his life.
Just like what I thought, we had a little argue, because Ritsu really looked up on my cell and saw the message from that guy. Ritsu shouted at me because I didn't tell her about it sooner. She thought that I'm cheating, but no! Why would I be cheating with a guy while I'm dating with a girl? It's just doesn't make any sense for me. Gladly, Ritsu apologized for yelling at me and well, that's how the latest chapter ends.
Today is Sunday and I still hope that the stalker would stop stalking me. It didn't work, I knew the stalker still around and got his/her eyes on me. Feeling so uncomfortable, I grabbed my cell phone and dialed Ritsu's number. I guess this is the right time to tell her that I've been stalked by someone.
"Yo! Miss me much, Akiyama-san?" Ritsu said confidently. I swear I'll hit her on the head, if she was here.
I groaned, "Don't push your luck, Ritsu"
"Okay okay, sorry~ Well, why did ya call me then?"
"I need to tell you something," I hesitated for a moment, but then I took a deep breath. "Can we just meet up at the park?"
"Uh... Alright," She sounded so excited, and I knew that she was grinning like a stupid right now. "I'm on my way then~" Then she ended the phone.
I hope she could help me with this stalker thing.
Ritsu's POV
Okay, usually, I would be the one who ask her out or meet up somewhere with Mio. The fact is today, Mio is the one who called me and want to meet up at the park. She said she needs to tell me something, I guess that's just her excuse to meet me today. Ha ha! She's so naive, isn't she?
I keep grinning so widely while walking all the way to the park. Like a stupid, but thank God there's no one around.
At the park.
"Wow, you're early," She sighed and then sat next to me on the bench. "That's odd"
"What's that supposed to mean?" I said, protesting a little bit. "Anyway, why the sudden call?"
Mio let out another sigh, then looks around and turned back to me. "T-there's been... someone who... k-keep stalking me this week" What? Stalker?
Well I kinda figured this one out, since yesterday I felt something different about the way Mio acted. "Okay, I'm not surprised because I've been thinking like that too..."
"So you knew who is it?" She asked me curiously.
"Whoa, whoa~ No, I had no idea who it is," I sighed and then remember something that might be involved with this. "Did that guy still contacting you?"
"Who? Matsumoto-san? Yes, this morning he texted me, but I didn't open his message so I let it be. Why?"
He might be the one. I keep silent as I thought about the possibility to really claim that Matsumoto is the stalker.
Mio frowned on the other side, "Ritsu... Ritsu..." She called me out, but I guess I didn't really notice it until she had to call me out a bit louder. "Ritsu!"
Finally, I snapped out to the reality. "Sorry, I was thinking just now..." I glanced at her who looking at me with that sympathetic look. "Geez, what's up with that look, Mio?" I asked.
"Nothing, it's just that... You don't have to think about it, I believe soon whoever stalking me right now will stop" She let out a sigh, but that's not a relief sigh, so it's bugging me!
"I don't think that'll stop the problem here," I raised an eyebrow, and then ran my hand under my chin as if thinking something. Well, I do thinking of something~!
That made Mio rolled her eyes on me. "Seriously, Ritsu. What do you think you can do? Like you'll find out about it so easily" Okay, she's totally underestimated the great Ritsu-sama here.
"Well, I might be need more evidence to really figure out who's the stalker" I looked around me, but I didn't find anything odd, so I guess right now we're alone. "I think the stalker is not here at the moment" I said with a low voice.
"How can you be so sure? You don't even know where the stalker is!" Mio seemed to be freak-out about this, so I turned to her and give her my warm-smile.
She calmed down a bit as I stroke her hair gently, "Alright, you really need to relax a little bit... Chill, Mio~" I leaned closer and kissed her on the lips.
I guess my plan is working, huh? Damn, I'm such a pervert now. Both of us didn't pull away, until the bushes moves by itself. It caught my attention, so I pulled back and turned to the bushes.
"Okay, you're right," I said as I stood up from the bench. "Someone's been watching over us. We're not alone"
Mio also turned her head to the bushes. I slowly walk towards it, hoping that the stalker really behind the bushes. "Ritsu..." I heard Mio whispering my name, but I keep walking closer to the bushes.
"Sshh," I shushed her, then I peeked a little behind it and there's nothing there. Maybe the stalker's already ran away before I check the bushes. "He's getting away, I guess"
"It was a guy? Y-you saw him?" Mio looked at me with that face full of hope that I wasn't right.
I scratched the back of my head, "W-well... Not really, but I'm totally sure that the person who stalk you is a guy. I mean, why would a girl stalk you?" Unless they're crazy about you. Geez, that's creepy.
She stood up and reached her cell phone, "We should call the police-" I instinctively grabbed the cell from her hand.
"Wait," I warned, holding her other hand from reaching her cell back. "That'll be more troublesome, it's not that bad. I'll make sure that he's not gonna do anything more than this, okay?"
Mio give me no reply, just moving closer and hugged me. I guess she gets what I'm trying to say here. Well, if it's getting worse than it already is, just like what Mio always said to warn me.
I'll beat the snot out of him. Yeah, don't you ever mess with Tainaka Ritsu's girlfriend; ya got that, Stalker-guy?
Mio's POV
The next day, at Sakuragaoka High.
I finally told Ritsu that there's a stalker who keep stalking me last week. She tried to help, but I'm afraid that this stalker is a bad guy, and what if he hurt me? Or worse, what if he hurt Ritsu?
Of course, I don't want to be a much of trouble for Ritsu. So I told her to just call the police, but then Ritsu hold me from doing it. Ritsu always knew the way to comfort me, whenever I feel less secure to my surrounding. She said that I shouldn't be thinking about it too much, since the exams starting this week and today is the first day.
Thank God, I can put myself together and concentrate pretty well while working on my exam. I'm fine, but I don't know about Ritsu, because she keeps squeaking behind me and I can't help because it really distracted me. Putting that aside, today we're still practicing but the time is less than usual, since Mugi, Yui, Ritsu and I have to study more for the test.
I keep thinking, looking down while I slowly walk upstairs to the clubroom. I stopped right in front of the clubroom's door, when I heard a voice...
"You're~ so~ beau~ti~fu~l... But that's not why I love you- [1]" That was a voice of someone's familiar. I knew that voice and I just can't help but giggling like Mugi did whenever there's something interesting for her.
I barged in all of a sudden, and someone seems to get startled with it. "Oh, sorry," I smiled a little and then sat on the couch.
"Where were you? Been lookin' for ya everywhere, but..." She stopped, and then I gave her another smile.
"Sorry, I go to Sawa-sensei's office. Talking about my College," I sighed, and followed by a smirk at her. "So, I heard someone's singing just now. Was that you, Ritsu?"
I could see she flinched over my question, and then started to scratched the back of her neck in nervous. "Ha ha, you must be hallucinating~ Anyway, where's the others?"
"Really?" I dead-panned, then sighed when I really noticed that there's only the two of us in the room. "I don't know... It's odd that Azusa is not here yet..."
BUMP! Azusa barged in all of a sudden. "G-Gomen ne... I just... It's just... There's..." I stood up and stroked Azusa's back up and down, Azusa took a deep breath. "Okay... Thanks, Mio-senpai..." She walked towards the couch and put her bag on it. She sat next to her bag, then I also plopped myself beside the kouhai.
"Wow, did a bunch of Zombies just chased you off, Azusa?" THUMP! I hit Ritsu right on the spot. She had a bad-timing for jokes. "GAH! That one hurt, Mio~"
"Find some other time for your joke, Ritsu..." I rolled my eyes, then turned to Azusa. "Anyway, why did you running off in a rush like that?"
"Sorry, but I'm afraid that I'll be late for today's practice. So I hurried to the clubroom, but then... there's only you and Ritsu-senpai here..." She's sounded disappointed.
Ritsu grinned, "That must be sucks, afraid that you'll late... feeling so tired for running... and found that there's only two people in the room..." Come to think of it, she had a point.
"Well, they must be-"
BUMP! "Konnichiwa, everyone~!" I thought it was Yui, but it's not. The one who just barging in was Kotobuki Tsumugi, and it just pretty unusual seeing this girl act like this.
Then someone is knocking the door politely. Just as what I thought, it was Hirasawa Yui. "Good afternoon. Sorry I'm late," Did they hit each other's head? Because I guess they had personality exchange.
"Did you two hit each other on the head?" Ritsu asked, and it made me shrugged because she act as if reading my mind.
Yui shook her head lightly, then she walks towards the tea sets and it really made me more confused. Mugi, on the other side, doesn't seem to mind and she acted so much like... Yui today. Just what are they trying to do here?
I sighed, stood up and then sat on my usual chair. Ritsu, Azusa and I keep watching how Mugi and Yui act, and I can't lie that it made the three of us shivered.
"GAH! Stop that, Yui, Mugi!" Ritsu said with a rather loud voice. Well, thank God she was trying to stop whatever Yui and Mugi are trying to do.
Azusa choked a bit, "This is weird..." She said as she lowered her head, blushed a little after she talked.
I keep silent, and then Ritsu started to ask. "Okay, what's going on?"
Finally, Mugi let out that giggles and I just knew that Mugi found this enjoyable for her. "Sorry~ We did this on purpose"
"Yeah," After Mugi started to act normal, Yui started to lay her head lazily on the table. "Sorry to make you guys worry, but I need to do this" She said without raising her head.
"Excuse me? You need to do this? I thought it was one of... jokes" I felt my face started to give out a blush that people could visibly see.
So I looked away instead. "Why do you need to do this? I mean, acting like Mugi-senpai?" I know what Azusa was thinking.
"You need to do this? You need to act like Mugi? You need to exchange personality?" Ritsu asked three times, as she laid her body on the back of her chair.
Yui shook her head, "No, not like that. I only take Mugi-chan's good behavior. I just need to be more... mature" With that, the three of us choked at the same time.
"Etto, Yui-chan will be living alone in a dorm and there will be no more Ui-chan to take care of her. Then Ui-chan told her that she needs to be more mature and take example from some people who has good behavior, so when Yui-chan already live at her dorm, Ui-chan wouldn't be too worry about her" As Mugi finished, all of us turn our eyes to Yui with a disbelief, yet proud look.
But of all people, Yui choose Mugi as her example. I could only sigh in relief, "Well, that's good for you," Then turned to Ritsu. "You should've been like that too"
"What? Take example from better people? Why should I?" She's really thought about College easily. Even Yui try to be mature for her college years.
"You should, because my feeling said you'll give me so many tortures"
"Yeah, Ritsu-senpai... You should try to be more mature, you can't keep depend on Mio-senpai all the time, can you?" Great, she's on my side as usual.
"What?" Ritsu puffed in annoyance, "I always knew you're a traitor, Nakano~!" Here she go again, acting dramatically over things.
Weird, but Mugi giggling in the background. "Well, I believe Ricchan can manage it with the help of Mio-chan~ I'm sure you two will be more than okay in College"
"Mugi..." I sweat-dropped, then sigh in defeat. "I hope you're right, Mugi..."
"Have more faith in me, will ya? Even Mugi believe that I- No, we can manage it!" She grinned as she said those. Seeing Ritsu now... I'm not really sure.
I rolled my eyes, then I noticed that Yui is missing. "Wait; does anyone notice where Yui is? She's with us... minutes ago"
"Oh, she excused herself to meet with Ui-chan~" Mugi said, smiling as cute as usual. It's weird, because she excused herself, but none of us notice it!
All of us went silent for like twenty minutes or more. That's when a certain idiot started to bring up a topic.
"Anyways, Mio got a stalker last week~" Ritsu said grinning so widely as if it's a good thing. Of all the topics, why did she have to come up with this?
Azusa gasped in shock, "R-really? How come, Mio-senpai?"
"W-well, I don't even know..." I sighed, "Can we're not talking about this?"
"Alright, alright~ Let's just talk about me instead" Ritsu is sure has that over-confident. "Okay, last night I had a nightmare-"
"From the beginning, I knew this wouldn't be a good story. So you don't have to tell me the rest of it" I cut her coldly, I just knew that it will be another trick to scare me.
Ritsu choked, "Then you have a better story to be told, Mio-chuan~?" She used that girly voice, that I always thought it's not really suit for her.
But anyhow, I don't have any good story at the moment. So I keep my mouth shut, and lowered my head.
Of course, this girl who was sitting across the table knew that I can't talk back at her. She grinned, "Okay, let's just-"
"Yay~!" Someone's barging in with the Yui-style. "We're going overseas after graduation!" Good guess, it's Yui and what did she said? Overseas? After graduation?
All of us turn our head to Hirasawa Yui at the door.
Ritsu's POV
"Yay~! We're going overseas after graduation!"
That's seriously shocked me and the rest of us in the clubroom. This is Hirasawa Yui, she just acts like Mugi a few moments ago. Then she's missing while we're talking and now, she's barging in with that amazingly shocking news. I confused, it's great if it's true but then remembering Yui is the one who said it... makin' me has less faith on it.
"You. Have. Got. To be kidding me, Yui." I said, clearly.
I took a glanced around me, and the others are staring at Yui with an awe. "Yui-senpai..."
"No, no, no! I'm not kidding, Ricchan~" She walks towards her chair and sat next to me as usual.
We're all instinctively sat down at the same time. "What are you talking about, Yui? Overseas?" Mio asked once again.
Yui nodded eagerly, "Yeah, Ui said that my parents will give me a credit if I graduate and I would like us to have our last trip overseas!"
Damn, I forgot that Yui's parents are working overseas, so no wonder if they let her going overseas with her friends as a reward for her graduation.
I grinned, "Awesome choice, Private-Yui!"
"Wait," Azusa said, not with an excited voice, but with a sad one. "I... I don't think..."
She's so much like Mio, especially now her eyes look so watery. I know, with Yui saying 'Last Trip' that means we don't have much of time to spend with her after the trip.
As the president of this club, well... not long after this, Azusa will be the president. I can't lie that I also worried about her in the future. I have Mio when I started this club, then I have two more that made our band complete. But Azusa, when we're graduated, she'll be alone... Tch! Damn, I feel like crying for her now! Stop it, Ritsu.
I shook my head, and then I realized that everyone gathers around Azusa and hugged the crying girl in a group hug. "I'll make sure that trip wouldn't be our last."
