"Well V what is your choice?" Kaito asked him, Rio looked back at him with pleading eyes because why had he changed his mind? He even invited her and was the nicest one to her in the band? What could've made his reason change for her to stay? "Kaito, we should talk I think…" and Kaito yelled out "You're choosing her side?" and Ryoga coughed this was awkward.

"Kaito I never said anything," V told him and Kaito crossed his arms, V grabbed Kaito's hand and took him out of the garage and into the house. He put his hands on Kaito's shoulders. "Kaito, listen. You were love-struck by Rio and now suddenly you want her to leave? What is the meaning of..?"

Kaito slammed a hand over V's mouth and this startled him. "You don't think she'll find out about what I did before she was in the band?"

It got real quiet, V was sure of what he was talking about. That was four months ago, why would Kaito be worried? V was sure it was just for publicity. "Date someone to get the band popular" idea.

It worked, the fans were interested and some were really jealous! "Kaito, it was for publicity you have nothing to worry about." He said trying to reassure his friend.

Kaito understood, he just wanted to be sure there was nothing left of their little stunt. Kaito didn't want his attraction with Rio to be bothering V. The only one it should bother is Ryoga. Which he found hilarious. "Good, I'm glad that was put right."

V nodded and walked away but paused "Are you changing your decision then?" and Kaito coughed, "And seem like a moment of weakness? No. Your vote will out rule mine anyway." V laughed, stubborn Kaito. He could tell he was actually content for her staying.

V didn't see why the publicity stunt worried Kaito; did he think he actually had a crush on him? It was just a publicity stunt; he was not a man to get jealous. Why would Kaito even be worried?

If Kaito and Rio were to end up together, he could not care more, Kaito was happy that was what mattered to him. Plus then the band had that "couple to add the flare" they needed. He was grateful the paparazzi had stopped wanting to see them together after sixteen shots.

He was sure they still wanted pictures, the fans and publicity hounders thought they were a "cute couple" even though were a fake one. V shook his head, the things he did for this band. Why couldn't Ryoga have been the one to find some chick? Why did he have to pretend to be Kaito's for publicity?

It didn't bother him; he just knew it was fake. Did not mean a thing. Why did Kaito seem worried if it was fake? Why was he worrying about this now? Maybe Kaito was worried of how Rio would think?

V didn't really care; he wasn't going to tell anyone. He walked back outside the garage and saw Rio and Kaito sitting and chatting about the lyrics of their next song for their next gig.

Ryoga sat with his arms crossed watching them; he didn't know why his sister forgave him after almost kicking her out the band? Ryoga didn't mind since she seemed happy… but the second Kaito did something to her. He would take action, Kaito wasn't going to. He hoped.

V shrugged; walked over to his keyboard piano and sighed, and thought mentally "We're one interesting band group…" they'd practice.

Kaito all the while seemed glued to Rio, V still wondered what was up with all that fake publicity questioning. What did Kaito think he was actually going to fall for him? That was silly! Right? It was silly wasn't it?

V didn't understand Kaito sometimes; the music would take his mind off in time for their next gig that was in a week. Rio's songs were great; she was a nice touch to the band. Kaito for sure thought so.

Haruto came in, in a few minutes and brought cookies and milk. V took a glass and sipped it getting a milk mustache. Ryoga took a cookie and ate it! Kaito took a glass of milk and Rio took a cookie, they were sharing cookies and milk. Kaito was actually… laughing?

That was a shock to V; he must have really been enjoying himself. He wondered when and why he got a crush on Ryoga's sister. Or if she even knew.

Why was he even questioning this? Why did he even care? He was just his best friend, why was he even concerned? It was all Kaito's fault for bringing up that fake publicity. These fake feelings were infuriating.

"I'm going to go inside and wash up." V walked out of the garage and into Kaito's kitchen, Rio and Kaito and Ryoga were confused. What was with V?

A/N: Yeah, don't worry this is Kaito/Rio. Might pair Kotori with someone. There will be onesided V/Kaito sometimes.
