*sigh* yes i know ANOTHER new story

i really need to work on the others but... yeah, i can't stay on one thing for tooooo long

right?

well have fun with a jocky Kaito.

ACTION!

"H-hey! those are mine!" A girl said reaching out for her glasses that had just been taken from her face. The red and blue haired brothers just laughed.

"But you look soooo much cuter withOUT them!" the red haired boy named Akaito replied. Kaito shrugged, "hmmm, if she could be cute, always walking around with her head down, never doing anything attractive, have you ever even had a boyfriend? let me guess, NO!" he replied starting to walk away, "Come on, Akaito, we have better things to do than waste our time terrorizing the mouse."

Akaito nodded, tossing her glasses at her. They didn't know her name. They didn't need to, she was just an easy target, never fought back, never told the teachers. The girl sat there and heard her glasses hit the ground. Reaching forward she allowed a tear to slip as she picked them up and put them on, her eyes being able to focus on everything. As she gathered her books another tear fell. She never understood their resentment of her. 'One day,' she thought, 'I'll be a star, then they'll know me by something other than mouse... I'll be even better than them!'

Manami opened her eyes slowly. The same dream, back from when she was in highschool. She got it all, she was famous. More famous than Kaito and Akaito were from the vocaloids. She was almost above Miku, so why didn't she feel accomplished at all? Oh right. They didn't know it was her. When she had gotten her manager, he pressed her to change her meek look, and she did, but she also made herself an alias. Manami was happy with who she was, but she would never have been able to do anything if she was herself.

So she made Kiyomi, a beautiful, bright, and shining young woman with a great career in both music and modeling. Kiyomi was confidant, selfless, and very modest. She always made time for her fans and often held times after her concert for people to talk to her. And when ever she saw a young aspiring girl, she always knew what to say. Kiyomi was exactly what Manami always wanted to be, and by having the safety of another identity she could be exactly that. She sighed sitting up and getting out of her otherwise empty king sized bed. Her house was simple, one bedroom, one bathroom, large kitchen and a living/dining room. She had only what she needed, she would much rather give money to schools or charity than spend too much of it on herself. It just didn't feel right.

She grabbed her glasses from her desk and went to her closet. She had about a thousand things to do that day and she had to dress in something that would suit all of them. In the end she went for a classy-punk look that was so common of Kiyomi and grabbed her planner on the way out of her room to the bathroom to switch her glasses for her contacts. "ahhhh, first, CD signing, then i have the tv interview, the photo shoot, about a 3 hour block of time, then the concert rehersal." she muttered to herself as she leaned forward to the mirror to aviod poking her eye, "Well, today should be fun..." then she saw the time she was supposed to be at the signing. 8 o'clock. That was in twenty minutes.

"Neeee! I didn't think I was this late!" she said, running down the stairs and startling her great dane, who inturn startled her 2 cats by barking loudly. She ran into the kitchen and grabbed the box of breakfast bars, "Hush now, Camo! no barking!" she yelled as she pulled on her coat and the black heels, patting her black, gray, and white dane who was next to her. As commanded he imediately stopped barking.

Manami smiled at him, "There's my good boy, i'll be back to take you for a walk in a few hours, kay?" she said smiling and running out of her house, locking the door behind her. Thankfully, there was little traffic and she managed to get to the CD store five minutes before they were opening the signing. Her Manager, on the other hand, was pacing until he saw her walk in through the back entrance. "Manami! or I guess more appropriately, Kiyomi," he said with a sigh. He was tall, good looking with a very handsome face. His shaggy blonde hair almost covered his stormy gray eyes unless he had it slicked back as he did now, "Do you have any idea what time it is?" he, Mr. William Neslund, asked with the athourity of the head lion of a pride, "I was beggining to think i'd have to send some one to your house to get you!

"Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't notice what time it was!" Manami said putting her hands together with her fingers almost touching her chin, looking down. William sighed, patting her on the head, "Well, you made it here on time... go get in your seat we're starting any moment now."

Manami smiled and nodded before getting a calm and collected face on. She walked out to the desk and chair that was empty aside from a rainbow of sharpies. She smiled, William remebered her love of using colors to sign for her fans. It took longer, but Manami thought that it made Kiyomi more unique. When she had made small talk with around 20 people as she signed their CDs, a young man came up to the table wearing sunglasses and a hat that covered most of his blue hair. He set two CDs infront of her and shook her hand just like everyone else had. But Manami couldn't figure out what was familar about him.

"Good morning sir, so who am I signing these to?" She said with a confident and happy voice, picking up her dark blue sharpie. If his hair was that color he must like it, right? He smiled leaning over the table a bit, "Please sign one to 'Kaito' and the other to 'Kameyo', She's my cousin and she insists that she's your number one fan." Manami's eyes widened a little before she controled her face mantaining her happy expression. "Okay, I can do that" she said with a smile, "is this a birthday present for your neice?"

"Yes, actually, she turns 16 in a week," he said taking off his sunglasses, "She told me that this was all she wanted, and I thought I may as well get one signed for myself."

"Well tell her happy birthday for me, I always love to hear about my fans." she said opening the CD case and writing a birthday note on a piece of paper before putting it in the CD case. She grabbed the other one and signed it quickly, handing them both to him. He smiled and put on his sunglasses, "Thank you very much, Kiyomi." And with that he left. Manami was almost relieved, but he still didn't know who she was, did she really think he'd reconize her? No, no she didn't. She smiled at the next girl who walked up, "Hello there, young lady, now who am I signing this to?"

Manami sighed walking into the concert hall. Finally, the last thing on her list of things to do. She looked around, before she was tackled, "Manamiiiiii! You're early for once!" she said with a smile, "Oh~! By the way, you have looooove letter waiting in your room! I saw the guy go in with it! He was SOOO cute!"

Manami laughed, "Hello, to you too, Yuuko, what's this about a letter?" she said gathering her balance. Yuuko shook her head, "No, no, no! Its a LOVE letter! It's in the room they have set up for you tomorrow, don't ask me how they knew that it was yours, but if you aren't interested I deffitantly am! He was sooo-"

"Cute, I get it, who was he?" Manami asked looking towards the dressing room. Yuuko shrugged, "Dunno, he was wearing a hat with sunglasses," she said smiling.

Manami blinked, "A hat, and... sun glasses?"

"Yep, he was also wearing a long coat, probably didn't want people to know who he was..."

"R-right, well isn't that... weird..." Manami said with a nervous laugh. Yuuko smiled, "He's probably just shy, or super famous, Omigod! what if he just doesn't wanna be swarmed that would be too cool! Augh, Manami why do you get the cool guys~!"

"Or maybe he's a stalker? a wanna-be-somebody? or even worse, one of my highschool class mates! Maybe he's all of those!" Manami said with a huff. Why did he have to come bother her now!

"Or maybe you're just paranoid? Seriously Manami-chan! You could actually have a boyfriend, you know, not a plublicity relationship!"

"Hey, Ichiru is a good guy, we have a lot in common, the only reason we don't hang out much is cause he's on tour." Manami said walking towards her dressing room, "Besides, how is that your business?"

"And yet, you don't deny that it's a plublicity staged love! Face it, Manami, Kiyomi isn't the only one who needs a little action!" Yuuko said with a wink. Manami promtly blushed a deeply colored pink. "Y-Yuuko! don't be so blunt you know I haven't~!" she said with a mild hysteria dripping from her voice. How could her best friend even suggest that!

"Whaaat? You haven't jumped Will yet! Manami, He's like a god of sexiness!"

"YUUKO! He's my MANAGER!" Manami said walking into her room with Yuuko right behind her.

"So? You two knew eachother before he was your manager you know, and he's, like, amazing!" she said sitting on the lounging chair Manami had moved into her rooms, "Besides, there's, like, MAJOR sexual tension between you two, just approach the topic already, or maybe I will!"

"Yuuko, seriously, let it drop, what if your wrong, huh? I ask him out, he rejects me, things get majorly weird. I don't want that." Manami said sitting down at her mirror, "Besides, he's like what? 23? And I'm 19. He'd never go for me."

"You underestimate yourself, my friend," Yuuko said feining seriousness, "A man would have to be blind, crazy, or both to reject you. You have it all; brains, beauty, charm, charisma, and your a nice person. Who wouldn't want you?"

"Kaito Shion," Manami replied easily, "And even if he has changed his mind by now, it's not me he's after, its Kiyomi, so that doesn't count."

"Manami, not this again! He's just some incredibly hot guy who never even bothered to learn your name."

"Thank you, Yuuko, I feel much better now."

I feel like this chapter's kinda vauge, but hey, Kaito will come in later.

trying to figure out how i write the letter, its can't be too head over heels, but it can't be too stiff

*sigh* so many decisions. We'll see more of Kaito in the next chapter, kay?

Laters!
