I'm sorry I haven't updated this in a long time. To be honest I haven't really been into Strawberry Panic lately. I still haven't gotten back into it. I just for some reason felt like updating this again.

Chapter 3: Despair

Hikari stood in shock at the doorway to Kaname's and Momomi's room. Just seconds ago, she had walked by the room by chance and heard what sounded like her girlfriends voice screaming out that she loved Kaname. Wanting to know what this was about and hoping she was just imagining things, she had opened the door without knocking. Unfortunately for her, it was not a pleasant sight. What she saw was her girlfriend, who was completely naked, pinned underneath of Kaname. It was obvious to Hikari that they had just finished having sex and she let out a small gasp from the shock. Upon making this noise, both butch women turned to her with looks of dread on their face.

"Hikari..." Amane gasped out, "How much did you see?" This was the worst thing that could possibly happen. She loved Hikari and wanted to be with her, but now because of Kaname this may not happen.

"I saw enough." Hikari muttered with tears flowing from her eyes. She did not want to believe this. She had loved Amane for so long and dreamed of being with her. She didn't want to believe that after all that had happened, Amane had cheated on her with another woman.

Amane looked sad at Hikari's expression. She knew she had caused her girlfriend despair over her actions, "Hikari, I know you must be upset and disappointed with me, but I can explain." Unfortunately for her, Hikari didn't want to hear it.

"Oh Amane, how could you?" Hikari cried and ran from the scene with tears pouring from her eyes.

"Hikari, wait!" She heard Amane call from behind her, but she didn't turn back around. She had to get away from her cheating girlfriend. She ran through the halls of Strawberry Dorm, causing many girls to turn their heads as she ran by. Right now she didn't care about how much attention she drew. She just needed a place to go. Going back to the room she shared with Amane seemed like a bad idea at the moment, so she decided on the room she had once shared with Yaya. When she reached the room, she knocked quite forcefully for her. Yaya was rather quick to answer.

"Yes, what is it?" She asked as she opened the door. Is a split second, she had Hikari embracing her, her head in the other girl's chest crying hysterically. "Eh, Hikari, what's wrong? Did something bad happen?"

"A-Amane..." Hikari sobbed, "She she c-cheated on me w-with K-Kenjou-san." Yaya gasped loudly at this news.

"Eh, Amane and Kaname had sex?" Yaya screamed rather loudly. Girls who had happened to be out in the hall and in the neighboring rooms heard this and started muttering. This made Hikari cry harder.

"Oh Yaya, I loved her so much!" Hikari cried out, "Why did she go and cheat on me with Kenjou-san of all people?" The girls who had heard Yaya also heard this.

"Oh Hikari, I'm so sorry this happened to you." Yaya told her, "Next time I see Amane I'm going to give her a piece of my mind. Anyways, why don't you come in and I'll make you some tea. It will help make you feel better after what has happened." Hikari nodded and followed Yaya into the room.

Amane ran frantically through Strawberry Hall in search of Hikari. She had lost sight of the girl since she couldn't just chase after her completely naked. As she ran she heard several girls muttering.

"Hey, did you hear that Amane-kun cheated on Hikari-chan with Kenjou-san?" She heard on girl mutter to her friend.

"Eh, but they're both butch! How would that work?" Amane cringed. The rumors were already spreading. At this rate the whole dorm would know by lunch. What kind of crazy stories would they make up? She needed to find Hikari fast. Amane found it rather unlikely for Hikari to be in their room, but she checked there first anyways. When she confirmed she wasn't there, she thought the next best place to check would be her old room. She ran there as fast as she could through more muttering.

"I heard that Amane never really loved Hikari-chan at all and that she was just using her to cover her own sick obsession with Kenjou-san." One girl muttered.

"That's gross!" Another girl yelled.

"How's Kiyashiki-san holding up?" Another girl asked.

"No one has seen her all morning." Another girl stated. Ignoring these rumors the best she could, Amane arrived at her destination and knocked on the door. A sterned faced Yaya answered.

"What do you want?" Yaya asked her in an angry voice as she glared at the woman coldly. Amane guessed she had heard the rumors.

"Hi Nanto-san." Amane greeted her with a rather weak voice, "Is Hikari here?"

"If she was, why would I tell you that?" Yaya shot at her. Amane gulped.

"Well I just want to explain to her what happened..." Amane was cut off by Yaya.

"Oh, you wanted to explain to her how you have been fucking Kaname for God only knows how long behind her back?" Yaya accused.

"No, it isn't like that. It only first happened last night. And Kaname was the one who came on to me. I didn't want that." Amane explained in a desperate attempt to calm Yaya down.

"Oh, so are you trying to claim that she raped you?" Yaya questioned her. Amane felted sweat dripping down her face.

"Well, no, it wasn't rape. I just didn't want to sleep with her." Amane explained the best she could. In her head, she knew this didn't make much sense.

"But you did anyways!" Yaya yelled. Amane looked down at her feet. She knew she had messed up big time. She was so depressed, she didn't notice Hikari walked up behind Yaya until she spoke.

"Amane, who do you really love, me or Kenjou-san?" The small girl asked in a soft voice. Amane looked up at the girl and saw the sad expression she wore. It hurt her to know she was the one who caused it.

"Hikari, of course I love you, but ever since last night I just can't get Kaname out of my mind. Even when we were making love last night, the images of her were haunting me. Oh Hikari, I'm so sorry!" Amane confessed. Hikari choked on her sob when she heard this.

"Are you saying you love Kenjou-san more than me?" She asked with tears streaming down her face.

"Hikari, I don't know right now. I know I love you, but Kaname..." Amane was cut off by Hikari's scream.

"Amane, you jerk!" Hikari screamed at the top of her lungs and ran off with tears. Amane tried to chase after her, but was stopped by Yaya slapping her in the face. Amane rubbed the sore spot as she turned to the girl who had slapped her.

"Amane, you don't deserve Hikari!" Yaya screamed at her, "She's upset over you cheating on her and you waltz right up and tell her you were thinking of Kaname while making love to her! You make me sick!" Amane looked at the floor. Yaya was right. She had not exactly said the right thing to Hikari just now. With how badly she had fucked up, she wondered if there was any hope for her relationship left.

To Be Continued...

Well leave a review. I do have a plan for the next chapter, but unfortunately I don't know what I want to happen after that. But the next chapter is going to be good anyways. Hopefully I'll actually write it.
