Growing in numbers
People they come together

Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cos we are all made of stars
-WE ARE ALL MADE OF STARS
Angel Brea promptly dropped her bags near the front door apon entering her apartment. The plane ride back from China was long and it did nothing but piss her off more than it already did. Mostly about the fact that they charged her for her damn meal. Heading to her bed room at a snails pace, she started to shed her jacket, boots and pants. The only thing she wanted to do know was sleep. Opening the door to the bed room, she did nothing but flop onto the bed. The sheets felt to cool agaist her skin, she did nothing to cover up her legs and fell to sleep. She was awakened after a few hours from a annoying ringing sound. Reaching over, she slammed her hand agaist her alarm clock. After 5 rings, she realised in her delusion that it wasn't the alerm, it was the phone. Reaching over sleeply, she picked up the reciever and placed it to the side of her face.
"'ello?"
"Tasuki! I was a bit worried that you didn't make it home!"
"'uck, Chichiri! Watcha want. I'm fuckn' exhausted."
"I just wanted to make sure you got home okay."
"Yeah, but I'm fuckin' tired. Coach is a bitch!"
"Really..? The plane back wasn't all that bad for me."
"Well, not all of us are rich like you, Chi!"
"Oh, um..."
"Listen, I'm fine, but I'm t'red! I'll call ya tomarrow, kay?"
"But Tasuki.."
Hanging the phone on the hook, Angel grounded her face into her pillow and went back to sleep. She had work tomarrow.
Angel yawned as she pawed through a comic book she pilfered off the shelves. While she loved her job at Hot Topic, it tended to be slow durring school hours. Adjusting her dog collar, she went back to reading her book when a man with black hair stepped in. He looked seriously out of place in this store. He looked like he shopped at JC Pennys for something.
"Can I help you sir?" She asked politely.
"Um, yeah, I..uh... heard you guys have some, ah.." Angel sweatdropped. What was up with this guy? "I heard you had ....uh... interesting underwear. It's not for me, it's for my girlfriend, it's her birthday, and she usually wears hanes, and I just thought a change of pace whould be nice, because you know..."
"Okay, okay. They're over there!" She swiftly pointed him to the right rack. He quickly bowed nad went to the rack, leaving Angel dumbfounded at the events that took place. Weirdo! She went back to her book. Moments later, the man came back with a couple of lacy and revealing underwear. She also noticed his entire face was red. She quickly rang up the items to help the poor guy out before he died of embarrassment. "Alright, the total comes to 4800 yen." He quickly hander her the money, keeping his head down. "Here's your change sir." He opened his hand and Angel dropped it into his hand, but all of a sudden, the man grabbed her and yanked her sleve. "HEY! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!"
"You! What's your name?" Angel yanked her arm away from the man and rubbed it, staring daggers at him.
"It's Angel Brea, who the hell are you?" The man grinned.
"But Angel isn't your only name, is it Tasuki?" Angel gasped. How did he know.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Taka, but I was once known as Tamahome."
