A/N: Well, this is my first submission to FF, so please be honest about the ratings, so that I may improve myself. This is set a few months after the anime's 2nd Season ending episode, and will follow the romances between Ayano x Kyoko, Himawari x Sakurako, and other pairings to be decided later. I anticipate making this story a chaptered series, but I don't know how long. It all depends on what the reviews are (please be honest) [I DO NOT OWN YURU YURI, I'M JUST A BIG FAN WHO HAS ALWAYS SHIPPED AYANO x KYOKO] Now let's close this long ass author's note and get on with the story (Final bit: I don't really see Chizuru going anywhere romantically since she doesn't seem the romantic type.)
The doors to the Student Council Room slid open with force, as the tsundere vice president, Ayano Sugiura burst through the doors, her thoughts filled partially (barely) with her duties, the Band Club needing new instruments, the Track Club requesting new uniforms, the Art Club needing new art supplies...but mainly, she thought of that whimsical blonde with the goofy smile and the insatiable hunger for rum raisin (as well as the occasional dose of Ayano's prized pudding she only splurged on once a month),
"TOSHINO KYOKO!" she exclaimed at the top of her lungs, startling her white-haired friend Chitose, behind her.
"My, my, Ayano, the love frustrations are getting to you again?", Chitose said to Ayano with closed eyes and small grin.
"Wh-wh-WHAT LOVE FRUSTRATIONS?! I HAVE NONE!" Ayano exclaimed, her face blushing a shade of red brighter than a tomato (Chitose thought she could see the steam coming off of it)
Chitose just grinned, trusting none of this and knowing the true feelings behind that blushing face.
"Oh Ayano..."
Of course, this wasn't an unfamiliar sight to Chitose, nor an unfamiliar situation for Ayano. Ayano's thoughts rarely strayed from the bodacious blonde. While Ayano and Chitose would walk around town, Ayano would lament over places that she would love to take Kyoko; at restaurants, Ayano would base her menu choices often on Kyoko's favorite foods; and while shopping for clothes, Ayano often found herself wearing things she either thought would appeal to Kyoko, or would look cute on Kyoko. She thought of herself as a proper mess, Chitose thought of it as the reason why she always had a packet of Kleenex in one of her pockets.
Chitose and Ayano sat calmly in the school office, engaging in normal chitchat as they went through their requisite forms and nonsuch as was the daily routine of the student council. Every few minutes or so Chitose would look over to Ayano's desk to see her gazing out her window in the direction of her true love's recluse, the Amusement Club. It would usually end with a small trail of blood trailing from Chitose's nose and Ayano eventually noticing, blushing, yelling angrily, and handing Chitose the box of tissues that was on the desk they shared. It continued like this for a little while until...
"Hey, Chitose..." Ayano said, gazing out the window, her mind obviously on Toshino Kyoko
"Yeah?" Chitose replied.
"I have to fill out this form about the Amusement Club," Ayano began, "but it seems I have to get signatures from all the club members, wanna go there with me?"
"Unfortunately, I have some more work to do," Chitose replied immediately, "but you can go on your own!" an enormous grin and a small trickle of blood erupted from her nose at the same time.
"O-on my own?" Ayano's face began to redden.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Chitose inquired.
"N-n-n-NOTHING! Nothing at all!" Ayano tried to act prideful, but her true feelings were oh, so visible "In fact, I'll go do that right now!"
Ayano got up and stormed out of the room, right in time to clash into Himawari and Sakurako, in the middle of one of their arguments as usual, but they stopped to greet Ayano, regardless.
"Hey Ayano!" Himwari and Sakurako said in unison.
Ayano just 'grr-ed' in reply and stormed off, down the stairs, and towards the Amusement Club.
"What's gotten into her?" Himawari asked in her usual demure voice.
"Love..." Chitose sighed.
"IKEDA-SENPAI!" Sakurako remarked at the blood that was drenching Chitose's face. It was beginning to get onto her lap.
"I'll get the tissues..." Himawari sighed as she walked towards the closet.

Ayano continued down the path to the Amusement Club, the path that she walked so many times, primarily on 'business', but Ayano knew deep in her heart that she just wanted an excuse to see Kyoko. To talk to her, and to enjoy her presence.
I wonder if she's wearing that nice smelling perfume again...
(A few days ago, Ayano 'accidentally' bumped into Kyoko as they were leaving class. She saw a chance, took it, and smelled Kyoko as deeply as she could in the few seconds of contact they had.)
It was such a beautiful scent, my favorite smell, roses and...rum raisin? Nah...just roses. Sweet, pure, roses...
"AAAAGGGHHH!" Ayano exclaimed to herself in the middle of the woods.
Why am I having these feelings?!...And what can I do about it?...Maybe Chitose's right...Maybe I should confess...
No, I can't do that. But I know she likes girls, there was that night at Yui's house awhile ago...
[FLASHBACK]
(2 months ago, Yui's house, Sleepover, people present: Yui, Chitose, Chinatsu, Ayano, Himawari, Sakurako, and Kyoko.
"HEY! WHAT ABOUT ME?!"
Oops, sorry Akari, have you been here the whole time?
"YES!"
Okay, okay, and Akari)
"Alright, time for a party game!" Kyoko exclaimed as she produced the all-to-familiar pink idea box, except this time it was labeled 'TRUTH OR DARE' in big bolded letters.
"When did that get here!?" Yui exclaimed.
"I always have it on me!" Kyoko replied with a smug grin. "I take it home from the clubhouse each night, clean it, and bring it back in the morning before anyone can notice. I don't want anyone stealing this thing! It has too many precious memories."
"Like what?..." Yui muttered under her breath, which elicited a giggle from Chitose, despite her being on the other side of the circle they were sitting in
"Does this girl have bionic hearing or something?" Yui thought to herself. A quick image appeared in her head of Chitose with big floppy bunny ears, and her exclaiming
"I CAN HEAR ALL!"
After Yui recovered from her shock, Kyoko went on to explain the Truth or Dare rules, though everyone seemed familiar with them. It started with Akari.
'DARE: DO A HEADSTAND FOR THE REST OF THE GAME'
"Aw..." Akari weeped as she walked over to the walk and assumed the position.
"Okay! Yui, you're next, we're going clockwise!" Kyoko said as she handed the box to Yui who, reluctantly, drew a card.
'TRUTH: WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU MASTURBATED?'
"WHAT KIND OF PERVY GAME IS THIS?!" Yui exclaimed as she hit Kyoko on the back of her head, crumpled up her card and threw it to the ground.
Ayano looked onwards at her secret love, wishing that she could just 'fess up, go over and pick up Kyoko, cradling her in her arms as she would pat her head where she was just struck by Yui.
"There, there, it's okay. I'm here, and I always will be..."
"Ne, Ayano? Are you okay?" Kyoko asked, wondering why her friend was sitting there, stroking thin air.
"Huh?" Ayano said as she awoke from her fantasy. "YES! I'M PERFECTLY FINE! JUST DANDY DAN!"
A small "PFFF-" could be heard from Yui as her weakness for Ayano's puns showed. "Just dandy Dan..." She muttered silently to herself
"Okay, Ayano, now that you're back to reality, your turn!" Kyoko said as she looked Ayano dead in the eyes with those beautiful big blue eyes that melted Ayano's heart to the core.
"I guess I have no choice, Toshino Kyoko!" Ayano said with her face a whole new shade of red.
'TRUTH: WHAT'S YOUR SEXUALITY?'
"WHAT?!" Ayano screamed so loud that birds outside flew away.
"Well Ayano-chan, what is it?" Chitose said grinning, her hand over her nose to prevent the profuse nose bleed that was sure to come.
"Yeah, c'mon tell us!" Kyoko said.
"Okay fine, I'm gay. There, happy?" Ayano said, though she seemed to be speaking directly to Kyoko.
"Aww, that's adorable!" Kyoko squealed.
"What about the rest of you?" Ayano asked as she sat back down.
"I'm a lesbian too." Chitose chimed in.
"We can tell..." Yui muttered to herself as the images of Chitose's wild fantasies and nosebleeds that came hand-in-hand with them began to course through her mind.
"Same" Sakurako and Himawari replied in unison. They glared each other down before blushing at how close their faces were and turning away from each other.
"I'm gay too." Yui replied calmly.
"Same~here~" Kyoko sang happily as she winked at Ayano teasingly who felt her heart almost stop for a minute.
"I think the answer is obvious..." Chinatsu said almost seductively as she gazed at Yui, who returned an oblivious look and a small, awkward giggle.
"What is it about girls that makes them so attractive?" Chitose wondered out loud.
The crew exchanged looks of bewilderment until Kyoko finally decided to be the one to speak up.
"Oh this should be good..." Yui muttered to herself as Kyoko rose and began to speak.
"I think it's because they're so pure." Kyoko said, being unusually deep which warranted the full attention of everyone. "They aren't jerks who decide to abuse your heart and body until they've had enough and move on to their next victim. Plus they're so beautiful and elegant, they're easy to talk to about problems, and they smell so sweet, just like pudding..."
"Pudding? Could she mean..." Ayano though silently to herself before she realized that on that last sentence Kyoko was staring directly at her, no mistaking it. Instantly she could feel her knees weaken, and she felt she would fall directly on her face in the position she was sitting in. To give herself support, she changed positions and leaned on her arms, but even those began to feel weak at the thought that the feeling of love that Ayano had kept so secret may be being reciprocated right in front of her. This was too good to be true!
"Huh? Why pudding?" Sakurako asked.
"Oh, no reason in particular..." Kyoko said as she let out a little giggle and returned to her sitting position, eyes still fixated on Ayano.
"Alright next is Chitose-, Chitose?" Kyoko said as she realized the white-haired fantasizer was nowhere to be seen. "Chitose!" Kyoko called.
"I'm in the bathroom!" Chitose called back from behind the door a few feet away from the group circle.
"Are you okay?" Yui called to Chitose.
"Yes, I'm just fine..." Chitose trailed off as a small pool of blood began to emerge from beneath the bathroom door
"Hey wait, where's Akari-chan?" Himawari asked, as the group began to remember that Akari still existed.
"Probably hiding in your boobs..." Sakurako replied which prompted a blunt smack on the head from Himawari.
"Last I remember, we told her to headstand until the game is over." Chinatsu replied.
"AAAHH!" Sakurako squealed as she looked behind her at the wall.
"What is it now?" Himawari asked as she turned around and saw what was wrong. Akari was face down on the floor.
"Is she..." Ayano began, scared that Akari might be dead. Yui walked over to Akari's body and turned her over and was greeted by a meek,
"Are you my mom?..." Yui's expression immediately became stern as she dropped Akari's head back down on the ground stating,
"All the blood just rushed to her head, she'll be fine in a few minutes."
"Okay! On with the game!" Kyoko exclaimed as she passed the box on...
[END FLASHBACK]

'Yeah, the moment we shared that night, she meant it right?'
Ayano wondered this to herself as she realized she was nearing the Amusement Club with each step. Simultaneously, it felt like she could feel her heartbeat increase with each step.
'Maybe I do have to be more honest about things with her...Yeah, if I want to make this work I have to confess, I have to make things right for both her and me!'
Ayano suddenly felt reassured of everything. She felt that she could do anything, and she felt ready to say those three words she's wanted to say to Kyoko since the day she met her, those three words she's said to her millions of times in her thoughts and fantasies, the three words that would complete Ayano's life if said back,
"I love you..." Ayano muttered to herself, acting as if Kyoko was standing right in front of her. "Yes, I love you, to the ends of the earth and back, I'll scream it in front of a crowd, I'll scream it in front of the entire country if I have to! I LOVE YOU TOSHINO KYOKO!" At this point Ayano had no shame in screaming it, because it was just her, but her twirling as she screamed it brought her right to the door of the Amusement Club, where she knew she had to face her, and she knew she had to do it now or never. As she carefully slid open the doors to the familiar Clubhouse, she readied herself for what was to come...

"Hey, Ikeda-senpai, are you okay? Your nose is bleeding pretty bad..." Himawari asked Chitose.
"Oh, pardon me," Chitose said as she rolled up two tissues and stuck them in her nostrils, "I just have the feeling something amazing is about to happen..."
"The tissues are soaking through, should I get the nurse?" Sakurako asked, extremely panicked.
"No, just never let it end..." And with that Chitose collapsed into her own blood pool. Himawari scrambled to get her glasses back on, Sakurako darted to the nurse's office, and Chitose laid there, and relished what she knew was about to happen
Thanks for reading! Chapter 2 will be coming soon! I hope you enjoyed it and give any criticism you have in the reviews!
