I dont own Bust-A-Groove 1/2. (A/N: I'll describe Nazuma a little more, bc just for this fanfic she is a different person than in the other fanfics ive written. ^-^)
I walked to my apartment, passing through crowds of people begging me for autographs and stuff. I guess they knew me more for my dancing then my racing. Anyway the crowds of people got bigger and bigger, until I figured if I danced for them they'd leave me alone.
So I told them to give me some room and once they moved I started with some up-rock and then went into a few swipes. They were chanting and screaming like crazy, because of course I'm the best…so I broke into a windmill, followed by a handstand and a flare, then I ended it with a handspring suicide, which I rarely do. I made small flames come from my hands as I started the handspring and then made them dissipate slowly as I fell hard onto my back. The crowd of people roared and screamed and then they left. I slowly got up. "Damn, now I remember why I don't do suicides." I said holding my back. I noticed a little girl standing in front of me.
"Are you alright, Mr. Heat?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for askin'."
"Don't mention it, hey do you mind signing my teddy bear?" She said holding up the bear. It was small with brown fur and two small eyes.
"Sure…what's your name?"
"Chigiri."
I smiled as I signed the small bear on its back. "That's a nice name. It means 'destiny' right?" I said passing her the bear. "Yeah. Thank you!" She said; bear in hand, running down the street. I walked down a few more blocks to my apartment, walked up the stairs and reached for my keys.
I grabbed the door knob and turned it, expecting it to still be locked, but it turned all the way and opened. I reached for the light switch and flipped it, but it wouldn't turn on. I made a large flame to bright up the room and to attack whoever the hell was in here. I noticed someone standing in the next room. I aimed and shot the fire at the person. "Wait! Wait! It's me!" The person shouted ducking, before the flame hit the wall and lit up the person's face. "Oh, it's just you, Nazuma." I said in a less than enthusiastic tone.
"Jeez, what are you trying to do, kill me?"
"Well, why the hell are you in here with the door unlocked and the lights off?"
"You blew a fuse. I was looking for the fuse box."
"Oh. It's over here, where it's always been." I said walking over to the fuse box and flipping a switch. "Ha ha…" She said as the lights flickered before turning on. Nazuma was two years younger than me, but still one of my closest friends. I asked her to join me in the B-A-G tournaments, but she wasn't one for dancing competitions. So instead she helped me practice and perfect my dancing skills.
"Wow…what happened to you?"
"I was walking back and this crowd of people begged me for autographs so I danced for them and…"
"You ended it with a suicide?" She said in a sort of nonchalant voice looking down at her long, sharp nails, which I affectionately called claws. "Yup…" I said walking to the bathroom. I leaned over the tub to find it full of water.
"Nazuma…did you run a bath for me?" "
Yeah…isn't that what you do after you come home?"
"Yeah." I said undressing in the bathroom and stepping into the warm water. "Someone called for you." I heard Nazuma call from the living room.
"Yeah? Who was it?"
"Uh…Kitty-N and Strike." I stood up, dropping the soap onto the ground. I took a step out of the tub, slipped on the soap and fell backwards into the tub, making a huge splash. Annoyed, I slowly picked my head up out of the water.
"What did they want?"
"Kitty-N said that she was reminding you about the dance tournament sign-ups tonight at Shorty's house…and then Strike said something about bringing only one person with you and…"
She stopped and I guess she was reading off of a piece of paper because her words were slow and thoughtful.
"No groupies sucka…and don't forget to be on time."
"You'd think it was him who was a newbie competitor." I muttered under my breath.
"You gonna go, Heat-kun?"
"Yeah of course I'm going." I said as I grabbed a towel and dried off. I got dressed and left the bathroom and sat beside Nazuma on the couch in the living room. She seemed sad, as she sat quietly with her eyes closed as her tail wrapped around her. I always wondered how it was possible for her to be born with these cat-like features. To be honest I never really looked at her in a romantic way, like I did Kitty…but there was always a possibility. Anyway…I nudged on her gently and when she didn't move I rested my head on her lap, lying down on the couch. She looked down at me and blushed.
"S-shouldn't you be getting ready for the tournament?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to come with me."
"I-I don't know, Heat-kun…I mean, well…"
"Come on Nazuma, please?" I asked flashing a perfect smile. "I'm…still not sure…" I gently caressed her cheek with my right hand. She blushed hard, and her eyes never left my gaze. I pulled her closer to me and started talking to her in a low voice. "Come with me. You'll have fun…and I need you to be there." Nazuma let out a sigh.
"Alright…I'll come, b-but don't expect me to actually get into the competition."
"Great!Lets get going then."
"What…now?"
"Yeah!" I said hopping up and grabbing her hand. I rushed her out and locked the door behind me. When we got to Shorty's I knocked on the huge doors.
"Open the door ya pipsqueak!"
"Keep your shirt on!" The door buckled a few times and then opened. Shorty jumped at me, wrapped her arms around my waist, squeezing tighter and tighter. "…Good…to see you…Shorty." I said prying her off of me. " Its good to see you too, and you too Nazuma."
(A/N: Perhaps ill add onto it later. Please Review, thnx-Nazuma)
