A/N: SOOOO… I started this and then decided to go in a slightly different direction. Based more off of the mangas… I have not read Gravitation EX so it's NOT based off that… Set two years after the end of the mangas.

Chapter One

Tamaya Seguchi stared out the window of the private jet pensively. So many things were going on in her life. Her acting career was really taking off recently even though she'd been acting since she was sixteen. Judy Winchester had been visiting her art school when she'd seen her acting. She'd then explained that she knew Tamaya's brother, Tohma. She smiled a little at the thought of her brother. Tohma was fifteen years older than she was and he'd always taken care of her. He'd taken her in when she was five, when there was no one else to take her in. She felt bad that her niece was already a year old and she yet to meet her. The feeling tripled when she recalled her brother's last letter. He and Mika were expecting their second child! But nothing compared to the guilt she felt over her current situation.

She glanced at the other passengers. They were traveling to Japan for the debut of their movie, Muse. She'd been the leading lady of the film, and it had been a hit in America. Rumors were that the Japanese fans were eager for the film. It was the first movie she'd filmed with him. He'd been the main character. Judy was also a star in the movie. She, Judy, Judy's son Michael, Judy's manager Ark, and he were the passengers of the plane, along with her dog, Benjirou. He was the reason the Japanese fans were eager for the movie. They wanted their idol back. Who could blame them? He was just short of perfect.

Smilingly sadly, she looked back out the window. He was the reason for her guilt. Was it wrong that she had fallen in love with him? She knew it was more than lust, she been on screen in racy scenes before. But… it was different with him. Was it wrong to fall in love with your co-worker? She looked down at her lap. Was it more wrong to fall in love with a man who was fourteen years older than she? And furthermore, was it completely wrong to fall in love with one's older brother's best friend?

Ryuichi Sakuma had captured her heart, and for all the guilt she felt, she could not bring herself to regret it. What she did regret was that she fell in love with a man that she had no romantic involvement… just a few racy scenes in a movie together. She heard someone sit in the seat next to her, but continued to stare out the window.

A stuffed pink bunny appeared in her view. "Is Maya sad?" A voice came from the bunny. "Kuma doesn't like it when Maya is sad!"

She smiled slightly and patted the bunny's head. "I'm not sad Kumagoro… I'm just thinking." Some thought it was odd when Ryuichi made his bunny talk, but she always found it sweet. She then felt a hand touch her shoulder. She turned to see Ryu watching her.

"What are you thinking about so intensely, Maya? You seem almost sad." He asked.

"I just feel bad that I haven't been home to Japan to see Nozomi… She's a year old now, and she's never met her Aunt Maya. " She confessed partially.

Ryuichi grabbed her hand. "Tohma understands! You've been busy! But now you get to go back! Don't worry, Omi won't remember that you weren't around her first year of life!"

Tamaya looked down at their clasped hands. Her heart was pounding. She then looked up into his eyes. "I'm also worried about Tohma's reaction to some of our scenes in the movie… I mean, it might be awkward for him."

Ryu tilted his head to the side. "Awkward? How so?"

"You're his best friend, and I'm his younger sister. His much younger sister. Don't you think it will be weird for him to see us kiss on a big movie screen? To do more than that? I-I mean, we practically get naked together!" She rambled on.

"But we were acting! Tohma knows that!" He exclaimed and her heart fell. So then he hadn't felt anything… Of course he hadn't… after all, she was his best friend's sister. "And besides, if it was more than just acting, Tohma respects us both and he would let us be together if we really loved each other." He explained, showing a side he rarely showed.

Her heart pounded. Was he confessing his love for her? She licked her lips and looked up at him once more. His eyes were beautiful… soul piercing and truthful. Yet, at the same time, she couldn't really read him. Ryuichi was mystery. He seemed so childish and naïve, but in truth, he was extremely more intelligent than people realized. He just had the boyish charm and enjoyed being playful. That was why she loved him. He was so complex and interesting. He was extremely in tuned to other people and he seemed to sense their moods. She knew that he viewed her as a close friend… the two had spent an enormous amount of time together on and off the set the past year it took to film the movie. But did he love her as she loved him?

She turned her head in shame. Of course not, he was her friend and nothing more. She couldn't let him see her feelings or she would ruin their friendship. Her heart was breaking but she knew that it would be better this way. She pulled her hands back into her lap. It was then that Ryu brought his hand to her chin and made her look at him.

"Why are you hiding your face from me, Maya? You don't have to hide anything from me." He told her seriously.

Tamaya opened her mouth to answer, but was interrupted by the pilot's voice over the speakers. "We're coming into Tokyo for landing. If you'll all fasten your seatbelts, we'll be arriving shortly. Thank you."

Ryuichi sat back in his seat and fastened his belt. Tamaya did the same. She didn't know whether to be thankful that intercom had gone off or to be frustrated. Was she ready to tell Ryu of her feelings? Would he return them? And as Ryu grabbed her hand, holding it and smiling, Tamaya's question multiplied. Ryu had always been overly affectionate with the people he considered friends. She'd seen him kiss her brother once. But could this be different? Could she be different than his other friends? Did he love her or was he just being a good friend? The question played over and over as the plane landed in Tokyo.
