We arrived to the Urban Casino: Kobe. I walked around the area to make sure everything was clear. I was a little nervous about what would happen. If I go check out the escape route now, people will get suspicious. Maybe I should check later.

I went to go check it out ten minutes later, but I encountered a guard.

"This is where employees only to enter," the security guard confronted me.

"I'm so sorry, I-I didn't know. I-I'll leave right now. I'm really sorry," I stuttered. Damn, if this continues, our plan's going to backfire! I need to do something!

"Hey, guard, she's alright. Go back to your post," someone ordered him.

"Yes, sir!"

I turned around to find myself face-to-face with a total stranger. I studied him, and eventually, I realized who this was. I was too shocked to find myself with him.

"You-you're Ryoichi Hirose, the god of romance novels!" I whispered to him. Ranko made me read one of his love stories. I'm not fond of love stories.

"So, you DO know me. It would have been a shame if someone as cute as you didn't know me," he said, touching my face with his fingers. Ryoichi pushed me against the wall, and raised my chin up closer to his face. "You really are beautiful. I wonder why destiny didn't meet our fates before."

"Hey, get away from her, you pervert!" he pulled me away from Ryoichi. I met myself with Takuto. He was pretty upset.

"T-Takuto!"

"Get behind me," he ordered. I did what I was told. "And no buts! Hey, what's the big idea hitting on her!"

"Well, if isn't some mean looking hero!" he joked.

"You're the meaner looking one!"

"Oh, come on, the girl is beauty. It'd be a shame if I didn't get her number," Ryoichi gestured, "she's such a wonder."

The longer I stay here, the more awkward the situation gets. Maybe I should just sneak away. After all, I am a master at sneaking. I slowly backed away from the two because their argument was starting to become invalid. I was also afraid that I'd be dragged into the conversation.

I made my way to the bar and ordered a non-alcoholic drink. I ended up ordering the same thing as another girl.

"Naiya Yuhime? Is that you?" I asked the girl. She turned and looked at me. She looks like her… maybe that is her.

"Ayame Takahishi? No way!" she gasped. "How long has it been?"

"Five years… well, since the party after graduation," I answered.

"So you do remember…

"Heck yeah, I would. What'd you expect from me… to forget everything we did together?"

"A… a little bit," she muttered,

"You don't know how much of a sister you are to me, Naiya," I looked at her. We hugged each other as if we were twins separated at birth. "I missed you so much."

"How's Mom and Dad?" she asked.

"Um… I'll tell you later. First, tell me how you've been?"

"Great. I work with celebrities now. In fact, this casino is owned by one of the guys I know."

"Really, then I think I know him… let me guess, Satsuki Kitaogi."

"Correct. I think he likes you because he talks about you a lot… as in A lot."

We chatted for a while and exchanged numbers. She had to leave since she was still working. So I just waited there at the bar until I heard from one of the guys.

When I turned around, I saw the "too handsome" cosmetic surgeon, Chihaya Koda. When I saw him, I smiled on the outside, but laughed on the inside. He walks over and sits down next to me. I realized this when I was about to get up, and go back to my post. He takes his hand and touches my face.

"Wow, even after working so hard and exhausting yourself so many times, you still have beautiful, smooth skin. How do you do that? I wonder if it's the beauty you possess or the strong will?" Chihaya asked.

"Hey, you can't touch her. She's not yours," I heard as he shooed away his hand.

"You're certainly persistent… I'm a cosmetic surgeon. It's what I do since it IS part of my routine," he argued.

"Oh, not again," I muttered.

"Ayame, switch spots with me," Kenshi ordered. It's like all of them own me! First, Takuto was controlling me, and now Kenshi. I bet Riki's next!

"Bye, I'll leave this situation to the two of you," I said, leaving them arguing over me. It had only been moments since I left the bar, and I was already being hit on by Satsuki Kitaogi. Minutes later, it became Riki's and Satsuki's argument over me. I did meet the F1 racer, Noel Ajiima, after Satsuki. He was a quiet one so nothing really happened between the two of us. That made me kind of happy.

I hurried up and changed into my Black Fox outfit. I entered the building from the back. The showing of the jewels had begun.

"And now to present, the two world's most famous jewels: ROMEO AND JULIET!" the host presented.
