"Fufufu, do you feel it lily. At last, the sun has completely fallen. The moon graces us with it's appearance. Can feel it's moonlight empowering us. This is the perfect night to perfect our scripture, don't you agree."

"Uh-huh." Riko said rolling her eyes. Humoring her junior's antics. Just like You, she learned that it's better to just play along with her.

"Okay girls, we're home."

"Thank you for the ride Mrs. Tsushima"

"Don't worry Sakurauchi-san. You're always welcome here you know."

Riko smiles. "Thank you for the hospitably."

The two get out of the car, and head towards Yoshiko's apartment. Mrs. Tsushima steps up begins to unlock the door.

Riko realizes that this is the first time she visited Yoshiko's apartment. Every time they have a guilty kiss session, they always forced to have it at Mari's estate. She begins to wonder how inside would like. The walls are probably all black with strange artifacts decorating the living room, Riko laughing to herself. Mrs. Tsushima opens the door and invites Riko in. To her surprise, the apartment is actually quite normal. The living room brightly colored, with nice furniture filling the space. No strange items on the counters or shelves, just books and family pictures.

"Make yourself at home Sakurauchi-san." Smiled Mrs. Tsushima. "Yoshiko, I'm going to bath first. Try to keep it down okay."

"It's Yohane!" shouted Yoshiko, pouting at her mother before she heads to the bathroom, leaving the two alone.

"I thought you lived alone?" asked Riko.

"She works all day and doesn't come back till late at night. Same with my dad." Explained Yoshiko.

"Oh, it must be lonely being all by yourself."

"Not at all, it leaves me to perform my rituals unerupted. Now enough of the small talk, let us head over to my chamber." Yoshiko commands.

"R-right." How does You-chan handle this, she wonders to herself.

Yoshiko leads Riko to her room. It was the exact type of room that Riko first expected. The walls a dark purple, black curtains hanging from the windows, strange items scattered about the room, and there was even a large bed cover with a magic circle laying on the floor.

"Wow, this room…it certainly fits you."

"fufufu but of course, it's the perfect place to house a great fallen angel such as I don't you agree?"

"haha well I can't argue that."

Riko sits down on Yoshiko's bed, while the fallen angel begins clearing out her room. She heads to table and makes some space for the two to work on their song. At least that was the plan.

"So lily, what game to you want to play first?"

"…Huh?" asked the confused Riko

"What game do you want to play first, a fighter? Shooter? Or maybe a RPG is more of your thing."

"What happened to working on our song?"

"Come on, the night is young. Lets relax and play first." Begged Yoshiko. Riko wanted to argue, but realized that she was a guest and wanted to show some courtesy.

"Okay fine, but only for a little bit then we start working got it."

The two began to play games to kick off their night; starting with a classic fighter. However, it didn't last long since Riko quit after losing seven times in a row. Four of them happened to be Perfect Victories for the fallen angel. Part of it was due to the fact that she couldn't handle the amount of violence the game had. She didn't fair to well in a shooter neither, going 2/14/3. Riko was about to give up entirely until Yoshiko bought out a game more suited for Riko's level. It was a dating simulator that she and You jokingly brought the last time they went out. She let Riko play the protag and the two of them went on their quest to capture girls. Things took an interesting turned when the protag gave a girl a kabedon and Riko turned bright red. Everyone in Aquors knew about Riko's kabedon fetish. She didn't do a good job of trying to hide it. Yoshiko began laughing at the embarrassed Riko.

"Okay! That's enough, we wasted enough time." Declared Riko.

"Eehhh!? You sure, you looked like you were enjoying yourse—." Riko death glare cut Yoshiko mid-sentence. "o-ok."

Yoshiko turned off the game system and cleared the table while Riko took out an USB drive from her bag.

"I've finished composing the song yesterday, I brought it with me if you wanna hear it."

"Sounds good. My laptop is over there. Go ahead and set it up while I get us some drinks." Yoshiko said as she pointed to her drawer before heading out. Riko grabbed the laptop and bought it over to the table. She inserted the USB drive and opened it up. The laptop finished starting up and bought Riko to the desktop homepage where a surprised awaited her. The wallpaper for Yoshiko's laptop was none other than a picture of her and You by the beach. Normally it wouldn't be so bad, except it showed You kissing the cheek of a red face Yoshiko. The photo bought a blush to Riko's face aswell, realizing she saw something she wasn't supposed to see. It was at that exact moment that Yoshiko came crashing into the room and quickly closed to laptop. She remembered what was on her laptop and came rushing back to prevent Riko from seeing, but knew she was too late.

"…D-did you see?" Yoshiko said quietly.

"Y-yeah…" upon hearing that, Yoshiko turned completely red and slammed her head on the table.

"Aaaahhh!" she cried with teary eyes.

"N-now now, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm sure You-chan would be very happy to see how much you care about her."

"Please don't tell her, I would die of embarrassment." Pleaded Yoshiko.

"Don't worry I won't tell. It'll just be between us okay." Riko came over Yoshiko and gave her a gentle hug in an attempt to calm her down.

A couple minutes have passed before Yoshiko settled down. Her face still showed a sight pink as Riko gentle caressed her.

"Still though, to think that you care about You-chan this much. I'm a little jealous."

"…"

Riko began to wonder how exactly did You and Yoshiko come to be together. Back when they first announced they were dating, both of them kept dodging the question on how they started going out. The two gave similar vague answers like 'It just sorta happened' and 'we just came to like each other.'

"H-hey Riko, I'm better now so can you let me-"

"Say Yoshiko…if you don't mind me asking. How did you and You-chan got together?"

"Ah!? W-why are you asking me that!?" Yoshiko franticly asked.

"I was just curious, I know back then, you two didn't want to talk about it. But right now, it's just us so you can tell me. I promise to keep this between us."

Yoshiko paused for a moment. She couldn't look Riko in the eye, the situation was already awkward enough. She hesitated on telling Riko the truth since it involved her. Riko always been there whenever she needed her, she feels guilty keeping secrets from her.

"o-ok…but it's kind of a long story." Yoshiko got up and sat across the other end of the table so they can be face to face.

"W-well at first, there wasn't really anything between us. We were riding the bus together since we live close by. If anything, I felt that You's energy was too much for me. But then after time went by, we started hanging out, just the two of us. She would come over my house to hang out and help me with my podcast. And she would invite me to go swim or go stargazing. I just really liked being with You, you know."

"I see" Riko said surprised. She had no idea how much they spend together without anyone knowing.

"But what I like about her the most is that she really understands me. You see, at school, me, Ruby, and Zuramaru are always together. And it's great and all, but most of the time I feel like the third wheel. Zuramaru and Ruby would have these conversations that I can't get into and whenever we walk down the halls, they would be side to side holding hands while I would be in back. It really bothered me being the odd man out. But then when I told You about it. She told me that she knew where I was coming from. How even though you are together, you still feel apart. That was when she grabbed my hands, looked me in the eyes and promise me: 'if you ever feel alone, know that I will always be by your side, no matter what. It is the servant's job to make her master happy, and I will do just that okay!'. When she said that to me, I knew that I wanted to be by her side."

"…" Riko sat in silence.

"H-hey! Say something!"

"A-ah I'm sorry! I'm just really surprised." Riko said, blushing at the story she just heard. It reminded her of one of here romantic mangas.

"Mou! I'm pouring my heart here you know."

"I'm sorry." Riko laughed, trying to calm down the blushing Yoshiko.

"But, I'm kinda jealous on how close you two are."

"…" Yoshiko just looked away. She had no idea how embarrassing to tell something all this.

"So I'm guessing you confessed right after she made that promise."

"A-actually…"

Yoshiko started fidgeting, wondering whether she should tell about You. She already come this far, so she figured there's no point in hiding it.

"W-well the thing is…You didn't feel the same way about me. She liked someone else at the time."

"Really!?" Riko yells

"Yeah…" Yoshiko nods

"Who?"

"…Do you really need to ask."

Riko calmed down for a second and thought about it. It didn't take long to figure out who You had feelings for.

"…oh."

"She told me that liked her back since they were kids. I remember freezing up and wanting to cry when she told me that."

"…" Riko just sat in silence.

"You see a while back, You got really depressed. She tried to hide it, but I knew something was wrong. She didn't tell me at first, but I made her talk. She said that her and Chika didn't really connect anymore. That she felt…replaced. Just like me, she felt she was being left behind. That you two got along better than they ever were." Riko sat in silence, the guilt building up inside of her. "But I guess You and You-chan talked about it and she felt a little better after that."

Indeed, Riko remembers the phone call that she and You had. She recalls You saying that Chika looks happier when she's with her than with You.

"When we talked about it, You said that she decided to support you and Chika as your friend. She was still pretty sad though, that's when I gave her the same promise that she gave me. T-that was when I…I confessed. She looked at me with soft eyes and thanked me. The next thing I knew, we kissed."

"I see."

"Saying it aloud, it feels as though You just settled with me. But right now, I'm just happy that I'm by her side."

"fufu You is lucky to have such devoted girlfriend."

"D-don't mock me! Anyway that's it, Story's over!" Yoshiko yells.

"Sorry" Riko giggles. "Thanks for telling me."

"Yeah." The two laugh, feeling exhausted, saying and hearing such a story.

"Anyway, I'm sorry. It must have felt awkward hearing that my girlfriend liked yours."

"eh?"

"...eh?" There was a long moment of silence between the two.

"Girlfriend, what do you mean?" Riko asked. Yoshiko got up in shock.

"What do you do you mean, what do I mean. I'm taking about Chika. You two are dating, right?"

"W-we're not! We're just friends!"

"No way! You two are always together, your next door neighbors, and you guys are always the centers for our songs. It was a given you two we're together. Everyone in the group says so." Riko erupts of embarrassment after hearing all the points Yoshiko mentioned. Even more so after learning what the rest of the group thought of them.

"I'm telling you we're not! I-mean…there's nothing special between us…"

"That's not what you're face says." Yoshiko says.

This time it's Riko looking away. She was never good at hiding her feelings. She could feel her face heating us. The thought of her true feelings boiling inside her. Riko takes a deep breathe to try to calm her nerves down. She could Yoshiko staring at her, expecting an explanation. She takes a moment to get her head straight. Yoshiko told her story with You-chan. It's only fair that she tells hers as well, so thought to herself.

"W-well, I guess you're right. You can't say this to anyone aright, but I do have f-feelings for Chika."

"It's not like it's a secret." remarked Yoshiko. Riko glared at her great intensely.

"S-sorry, please continue." A frightened Yoshiko asked.

*cough* *cough* "Well…I mean I really enjoyed spending my time with her. It's thanks to her that I got my confidence back and started to believe in myself again. Whether I wrote songs, I always imagined Chika's smiling face whenever she heard. I looked forward to hearing her say 'this is amazing Riko-chan!'. And then when we were spending the night together as a group. Chika woke me in the middle of the night and we walked to the beach to talk about things. It was such a magical moment, that I worked up the confidence and…con…confessed to her…" Riko suddenly got quiet. Rather than feeling embarrassed, she felt depressed; thinking what happens next.

"…then what happened?" asked Yoshiko, even though she has an idea of what the answer is.

"Nothing…"

"Nothing?"

"She didn't say anything. She didn't say yes or no."

"…but that doesn't mean that she rejected you."

"Yes, it does. After that, we never talked about it again. Nothing changed. I think that she didn't want to hurt my feelings and give me a straight answer, but I knew she didn't feel the same way."

"…I'm sorry." It was the only thing Yoshiko can say.

"It's okay…I mean I kinda had a feeling I would lose to You-ch Riko immediately closed her mouth before she said anymore.

"Huh?"

"It's nothing! Hahaha come on, I think its enough of all this love talk don't you agree? Haha…" Riko nervously laughed, trying to say the subject."

"No, what were you going to say." Yoshiko demanded.

Riko started fidgeting, taken back by Yoshiko serious demeanor. "Look it's not important so…"

"Just say it already!" Yoshiko yelled.

"O-ok." Riko cried, giving in to Yoshiko's seriousness.

"It's just my opinion, but I think that maybe…Chika may like You-chan." Yoshiko froze as Riko said those words. "I mean, the way they act together. I know that they are close, but I think there's something more between the-" Riko stopped as tears started to form around Yoshiko eyes.

"Chika likes You…" Riko immediately stood and try to calm her down.

"I'm sorry Yoshiko! Like I said it's just what I think please don't cry." pleaded Riko.

"B-but if it's true…then their feelings are mutual."

Riko went to Yoshiko's side, grabbed her on her shoulders and looked her dead in the eyes. "look, they may have liked each other in past. But You's with you now. You love her don't you?" Yoshiko nods her head. "And I'm sure You-chan feels the same way. You have to trust her okay."

Yoshiko slowly nods, wiping her face. Riko brings her to her chest and gently gives her a motherly hug. She can feel the tears falling on her. "I'm sorry Yoshiko." The two sit there in embrace as Yoshiko tries to hold back her emotions. You-chan, Riko thinks to herself. If only you can see how much Yoshiko cares about you. I hope you don't do anything to break her heart.

Hello everyone, ZxRin here. hoped you liked chapter 2. I know I'm way late submitting this. I'm like what, 3 weeks late to when I said I would have it out. But lately I've been busy with work and helping out with family matters that I haven't had time to write. So sorry about that. Anyway, enough about my personal life lets get back to business. As far as the story goes, I decided to go into third person considering the amount of dialog this chapter had. I wanted to give you guys a look on how Yoshiko plays a part into the story. Next part is going back to You and Chika. I still don't know how I'm going to end this story, I want it to be a happy end. But if I come up with up a better but sadder ending then I might just go with that. Who knows, but I hope you look forward to it and thanks again for the read.
