The two lovers were back at home and sat down together on the couch. It was quiet for a moment and Yuzu looked over at Mei who seemed a bit worried. She took a deep breath before letting out a soft sigh
"Mei...what happened back there?" Yuzu asked and Mei kept her head down before trembling a bit. She only looked away avoiding Yuzu's eyes
"Are you like this because...of your ex?" Yuzu asked and Mei lifted her head up
"Wh-what? You know?" Mei asked
"Well...I've known for a while now" Yuzu said slightly nervous
"H-huh? Wait, how? Who told you?" Mei asked
"No one did. Uhm...well...I might've bumped into her one day" Yuzu said
"What? And you didn't tell me?!" Mei exclaimed
"C-calm down. I didn't want to tell you because...well I was somewhat worried if you'd feel uncomfortable" Yuzu said
"Wh-when? When did you bump into her? Did she tell you anything?" Mei asked
"Uhh remember the day we all went out with our friends?" Yuzu asked and Mei nodded
"I bumped into her in the restroom and...she introduced herself as her ex. I don't know what kind of reaction she expected from me but I really didn't care. She's probably jealous that I'm with you..." Yuzu said
"...she didn't hurt you right?" Mei asked
"Nope and even if she did I'd get her back. Now enough about that. Tell me what happened back there" Yuzu said and Mei took a deep breath then sighed
"Things didn't end so well between us. I don't want to go in full detail but...it was more like she never cared for me or ever loved me. She probably hated me because of how popular and good life I had. So she asked me out and I said yes because I liked her too. I thought everything would be alright until...Riana appeared and took her attention. From there everything went downhill. They both...ruined my life and it got worse because of that one incident. I...I got scared of her but luckily she moved away along with Riana. Once they were both gone from my life I did my best to forget about it all and move forward. I thought it would've been fine but...when Riana came back. It brought back memories that I tried to forget. That's why I started behaving quite...differently" Mei said
"Back there...what really happened?" Yuzu asked and Mei trembled before clenching her fists tightly
"Sh-she's stalking me. I-I bet she knows where we live or what I'm doing. I-I was hoping to never see her again but I can't escape...sh-she is going to ruin everything again. I-I...I'm scared if she plans on hurting you..." Mei said, tearing up a bit and Yuzu cupped her cheek before kissing her softly. Mei blushed deeply and kissed her back. The two women shared a passionate kiss and pulled away after a minute. Mei felt Yuzu's hand on her cheek and enjoyed the warmth from her hand
"Mei, look at me" Yuzu said and Mei's lavender eyes met with Yuzu's
"You're not alone, Mei. I'm here for you and whatever happens I'll be there for you. I won't let her hurt you. If that bitch dares to hurt you or ruin our relationship...I promise I'll beat the shit out of her and tell her to never show her face to us ever again. I'll be sure that you're happy and safe with me. I'll keep my promise by making sure you live a wonderful life with me. We'll be happy together forever..." Yuzu said and her hand. Mei looked at her hand seeing the ring and smiled a little before hugging Yuzu. She rested her head against her shoulder and clinged onto her
"I'm so happy I met you..." Mei whispered softly
"I'm also happy that I met you and have you as my girlfriend" Yuzu said and hugged her
"Can we lie down?" Mei asked and Yuzu nodded before lying on the bed with Mei in her arms still. The cute couple held each other closely and were able to hear their heartbeats
"Hey Mei. Have you told anyone else?" Yuzu asked
"The only one who knows about this is Himeko since she was there to witness everything" Mei said
"What about your parents? Shouldn't you have told them?" Yuzu asked
"I didn't want to deal with it anymore but somehow my mother found out. I told her to not do anything about it since it's over...but guess she won't be keeping that promise anymore if Isha keeps bothering me" Mei said
"Let's hope she gives up and we never see her again. I won't leave your side ever again..." Yuzu said and Mei cuddled her
"I love you, Yuzu" Mei said
"I love you too, Mei" Yuzu said
I'll make sure she doesn't try to do anything to us…

"Are you enjoying your tea?" Himeko asked as she lifted her cup
"Y-yes..." Riana said
"Hm? I know it's been a while since we last saw each other and spoke. I don't know why you're scared..." Himeko said and took a sip of her tea
"I-I'm uhh...just nervous..." Riana said as she looked down a bit avoiding her eyes
It's because you have a psycho for a girlfriend! I can't do anything bad or else she'll fucking slaughter me!
Riana sensed the aura from Shai's body as she was sitting down next to Himeko. Shai wore an innocent smile but Riana knew it was all fake
"Hm? Why nervous? It's not like I'll hurt you or anything. Anyways is your face alright? Hopefully Shai didn't go too rough on you..." Himeko said
"I-I'm alright. Thanks for asking" Riana said nervously
"Guess you already know the reason why you're here" Himeko said
"Y-yeah...it's about the whole situation with Isha and Mei" Riana said
"Correct" Himeko said
"I-I already...t-told your girlfriend everything. Hasn't she t-yold you?" Riana asked and Himeko put her cup down
"I'd like to hear it from you..." Himeko said as she wore a serious glare
"I-I understand..." Riana said and fidgeted with her fingers
"Would you like to discuss it in private? You'll probably feel more comfortable right?" Himeko asked and Riana gulped
"Y-yes" Riana said
"Eh?" Shai asked
"Mind leaving for a bit, babe?" Himeko asked  and Shai whimpered a bit
"But we were supposed to go and meet with the others..." Shai said
"You go. I'll stay here for a chat" Himeko said
"B-but if something happens?" Shai asked
"I'll be fine. Besides, Riana wouldn't dare lay a finger on me. Right?" Himeko asked and Riana nodded
"I-I promise I won't. I-I learned my lesson so pl-please..." Riana said
"And I have Pucchi" Himeko said and Pucchi barked as he jumped onto Himeko's lap
"Fine..." Shai said
"Love you, Shai" Himeko said giving her a quick kiss
"Love you too, princess" Shai said and petted Pucchi
"And remember to bite if Himeko gets hurt okay?" Shai whispered and Pucchi barked
"Good boy" Shai said petting him and walked passed where Riana was sitting
"Do something and I'll kill you" Shai whispered. Riana felt a shiver down her spine and looked down
"H-how did you get a girlfriend like that?" Riana asked
"Hm....I'm not sure either. We met in the Aihara Academy and she fell for me in an instant. She's really cute and adorable" Himeko said
"H-haha...y-yeah" Riana said
Yeah right...that psycho is cold and scary. What a monster...
Meanwhile Shai was outside taking a ride towards the cafe where her friends were. Once she got to where she needed to go, Shai entered the small cafe.
"Hey Nene and Matsuri" Shai said and walked up towards their table
"Hi Shai" Nene said
"Hm? Where's Eyebrows?" Matsuri asked
"She couldn't come" Shai whimpered
"Eh? Why?" Matsuri asked
"She's having a small discussion with...someone" Shai said
"So why'd you call us here for?" Matsuri asked
"I'm letting you girls know that the gang will be coming back together for a small vacation" Shai said
"Vacation?" Matsuri asked
"Huh? What?" Nene asked
"I'm inviting you all" Shai said smiling warmly
"Wait...that means you'll be paying for everything? Like tickets and ride?" Matsuri asked
"Mhm. My father will be getting the ride prepared for us and reserve a nice hotel" Shai said
"I'm definitely in" Matsuri said
"Is there any other reason we're all going?" Nene asked
"Mmm...well I guess you two already know" Shai said
"Know what?" Nene asked
"About Mei's ex and shit like that" Shai said and took a sip of her drink
"Oh shit it was true?" Matsuri asked
"Very true and we'll all be going on a small vacation when Mei leaves to go to her business meeting. Obviously she'll bring Yuzu along and leave us behind but as a caring friend of hers. Why not tag along and see how it goes?" Shai asked
"Does Yuzu know about your little plan?" Matsuri asked
"Nope" Shai said
"Shouldn't she know about this?" Nene asked
"Nah, I think we're good" Shai said
"She won't get mad?" Nene asked
"She rarely gets pissed. Unless they mess with her lover so I think we're good" Shai said
"How many people will be tagging along with us?" Nene asked
"Uhhhhh...I kinda lost count. But if you'd like you can invite more friends" Shai said looking to the other side slightly nervous
"I'm not bringing those idiots along" Matsuri said
"That's mean. They should come" Nene said
"It'd be fun" Shai said
"I'll think about it" Matsuri said
"Hey Higashi-san" A woman called her out and Shai looked up before going through her bag
"Hey Hana. How you've been?" Shai asked and Hana walked up to her
"I've been doing well. Now pay up" Hana said before holding her hand out
"Yeah yeah. I got it" Shai said and pulled out some money before handing it to her. Hana looked to the side and smiled
"Hi Nene" Hana said
"A-ah hi Hana" Nene said
"What are you doing here?" Hana asked
"Oh I'm here with my friends" Nene said
"Hi" Matsuri said waving at her
"Aren't you Nitski's little child?" Hana asked
"Hah!? The fuck you called me?!" Matsuri exclaimed
"Hahaha sorry. I was only joking" Hana giggled
"Hana will also be tagging along with us" Shai said
"Really?" Nene asked
"You're going to?" Hana asked
"U-uhm yes" Nene said
"That's great! We can have fun at the beach nearby" Hana said
"Wait?! Beach!?" Matsuri exclaimed
"There's a beach?" Nene asked
"Oh yeah I forgot to mention about the beach that is nearby" Shai said and Matsuri blushed as she stared at the ceiling
"I can already see Harumin in a sexy bathing suit..." Matsuri said
Fuck...I'm turned on by my fantasies
"We can go for a swim" Hana said
"I-I uh...this is a bit embarrassing but uh I can't swim" Nene said looking to the side and jumped as Hana wrapped an arm around her
"No worries. I'll teach you when we're there" Hana said and Nene blushed being close to Hana
"U-uhm...thanks" Nene said
"You're single, right?" Hana asked
"E-eh? What? Wh-why ask?" Nene asked
"Oh I'm just curious. What's your type?" Hana asked
"U-uhm...well I'm n-not really sure nor have I thought about d-dating before" Nene said
"Because you're way too hooked up on your ship which will never happen" Matsuri said
"Hmmm...so I guess that also means that you're not seeing anyone?" Hana asked
"U-uh no" Nene said slightly nervous
"Okay that's perfect. So...you're a virgin?" Hana asked
"Eh!?" Nene exclaimed and Shai smacked her head
"Agh!" Hana groaned
"You're going to make Nene freak out" Shai said and Nene was a flustered mess as she tried to keep herself calm
"Oops my bad" Hana said
"I-it's okay" Nene said
"It's about time you get yourself a date" Matsuri said laughing softly and Nene was red as a tomato
"So you're all in, right?" Shai asked
"Y-yes" Nene said
"Hell yeah!" Matsuri said
"I'd like a room for two please. Nene's my partner I'll be sleeping with" Hana said
"Eh!?" Nene exclaimed
"Someone's eager to fuck..." Matsuri said and Nene started nosebleeding
"Nene!?" The girls exclaimed
