This story is based on years later. Kyoko might be 26 now, who knows. And Ami is a lawyer, Maiko works at an office and Nori is a school teacher at the same Jr. High, how ironic. Any way please enjoy and review .

Chapter 1

Ami waited at a very reserved table in a corner of the cafe. She lightly tapped her finger nail on the table, quietly waiting. She checked her watch and sighed, she knew that they were going to be late but not this late. She took a sip of her coffee, she heard the noise of heels hitting the title floor. Ami turned and smiled " What took you so long?" Maiko smiled and took off her jacket and placed it on the back of the chair. " Gomennasai, i couldn't get off of work sooner. My boss made me do some extra work." Ami stared at her coffee and then slowly looked at her with a grin " Suuurrreee.. i bet you forgot." Maiko turned to look at the door with a slight blush on her face. " OOOhhh look Nori is here." Ami took another sip of her coffee and giggled "I'll take that as a yes."

Nori relaxed in her chair , she tried to catch her breath, " Gomennasai, i really tried to get here but i had to grade some papers." she said between breaths. Ami nodded " its ok ", Maiko looked at Ami in disbelieve " What... why do you believe her but not me?" Ami turned and raised an eye brow " Do you really want me to anwser that?" Maiko pouted and looked down at the table and started to make circles on the table with her finger "No" Ami chuckled.

" So how was your day , Ami-san?"

"Tiring, but i'm happy that its friday, and i get to hang out with you guys. And you?"

" It was surprisingly smooth this week, what about you Maiko? "

They both turned to look at Maiko who looked like she wasn't paying attention. Nori waved her hand infront of Maikos face. Maiko finally reacted after Ami shook her, " Gomennasai, what did you say ?" Ami looked at her and giggled. " Why are you laughing?" Maiko glared at Ami. " Gomennasai...Gomennasai, it's just that you had a very flustered look."

" What where you so deep in thought about, Maiko?" Nori stared at her.

" Its just that, well...ammm.. it still bothers me that Sho never showed up at the reunion. I really wanted to see him after all these years. Thats all."

Both Ami and Nori thought about it too, its been years since the reunion. All three girls sighed. " Well maybe he was busy." Nori said, not sure of herself. Ami stayed quiet, knowing if she said something she would hurt Maiko. She tried to think of something to say " OOhhh what about that girl who hanged around sho? Has anyone heard of her?" Nori and Maiko looked at one another and then at Ami, " Hey, thats right.. whats her name?" Nori tried to remember, the girls face but couldn't quit remember. She knew what Ami was trying to refer to. But once she thought about it, she couldn't really remember the girl. She only saw her in class, she was quiet.

Then it hit her, she remembered a girl with black hair crying in the courtyard under the rain. She was holding a bluish rock in her semi beaten hands. She held it close to her heart, as if trying to take all of her feelings and placing it in the rock. That day Nori, knew that, that girl was suffering more then any one knew. She really wanted to help her, but she knew if she helped she would just be another victim to the Sho fans.

so she tried to help in little ways. She knew that they didn't help much, but she wanted to help some how. She left little incouraging notes or band-aids in her shoe locker or even a snack when her lunch was stolen. From that day, she didn't cry in plain view, she smiled from time to time even though she was treated badly.

Nori smiled at her memory, she had never told Ami or Maiko about it. It was her little secret, she was hoping to meet her again some day. But she really didn't want Maiko to know since she was a Sho fan. Nori knew she wouldn't do anything to harm someone else but she still didn't want her to know.

Ami, she really didn't care, she did actually go out with Sho for a month. But no one knew that Ami broke up with Sho in reality. Sho braged about going out with her and that he dumped her because he was bored or something. But that was a lie, Ami smiled knowing the truth. " OOHHH her name was Mogami Kyoko" Ami and Nori said in unison, Maiko looked at them in surprise.

Maiko looked at her friends " Do you guys think that Sho and Kyoko are still together?" Nori stared at Maiko, hoping that they weren't " Who knows?"

Ami frowned and whispered " Knowing Sho, he would be a jackass. He would either annoy her to death and she would leave or he would leave her."

Maiko turned to look at Ami with a smile " What did you say i couldn't hear? " Ami smiled and said " ahhhh...I said the same thing as Nori" trying to cover it up.

Then an idea weaved in to Ami's head, she grined " Hey girls do you want to make a little trip to Tokyo this summer? To let Maiko see Sho and to do a little shopping." Nori nodded and Maiko jumped out of her seat hugging Ami. " Really, would you do that for me?" Ami laughed " Ya for a friend anything." Nori smiled, she had her chance to see what ever happened to Kyoko.

That night the girls circled the date of there trip on the calender.

I'll try to update as soon as possible... J
