Chapter 2: Say What?
Kaoru's P.O.V.
"So I was thinking-" he starts off and then I slam the door on his face. I turn around and lean my back against the door sliding down. This is just an illusion right? No, that would mean I would actually like really really miss that brat. This doesn't make any sense I think to myself as I hold my head in my hands.
"Kaoru oh, my gosh are you ok" I hear Momoko say panicking.
"I'm going to call nine-one-one" Miyako says and I sigh, picking up my phone.
"Calm your tits guys" I say.
"What happened was I right about it being Ace?" Momoko asks.
"No it's worse it's Shiro" I say and there was silence.
"Shiro, as in Shiro the one who got gum stuck in my hair!?" Momoko screeches.
"And the one who dropped my very first line of clothing in that puddle" Miyako wails.
"Yes and yes" I say.
"Wait you said 'it's' not was, do you mean he's still there?" Momoko says.
"Yes what the hell should I do?" I ask.
"Give him the boot Kaoru" Miyako says.
"Yeah, I better get going now I'll see you guys at the bat with the other girls" Momoko says an then hangs up.
"Me too the music coordinator for the fashion show is suppose to be calling soon and Kao-chan you better get rid of that punk. Bye-bye now" Miyako says in a cold tone and hangs up.
"So much for their help" I say with a sigh picking myself up and opening the door to see him with a smirk. "Can you please just go" I say with a sigh.
"Eh, so you didn't miss me, huh?" He says looking me straight in the eyes.
"It's not that it's just I'm not in the mood" I say.
"Tch, same old Kaoru, huh? Still flat chested I see" he says looking at my chest.
"Shut up" I growl at him, if I wasn't thin and flat chested like this I would be out of a job. Besides I think being flat chested is way better than having huge chest and having men stare at you like you were some type of object they could easily buy.
"Just stating the truth, this isn't a very warm welcome you know" he says with a shrug and then a light goes off in my head.
"How the fuck did you even find out where I lived?" I shout at him.
"Simple my brother works in your agency" he says with a gleam in his eyes.
"Who?" I growl holding his shirt bringing him closer to me so we were eye to eye.
"Riku Jojo" he says and I let go of him pushing him back.
"The photographer he's your brother?" I say and he nods. "You too are nothing alike thank god" I say. "Why are you even here?" I say giving him a glance.
"You've really become forgetful, maybe this will refresh your memory" he says and pulls me into an embrace and kisses me full force unlike the last one which was a butterfly kiss.
'When I come back to Japan, I'm going to marry'
"Get away" I say pushing him away as he smirks at me.
"Looks like you just did" he says licking his lips.
"You're disgusting get out of this place" I growl and he gives me another one of his smirks.
"Sorry to disappoint you, sweetheart, but I'm your neighbor" he says.
"N-no way" I say.
"Yes way, please treat me well sempai" he says with a teasing smile.
"Kaoru-sama your friend is at the door should I send them up?" Someone buzzes me.
"Please" I say into the microphone as I push the button.
"Is your friend that Mitch guy?" He asks.
"That's none of your business" I say slamming the door on him for the second time.
"Not so fast" he says slipping his foot in for the last second.
"Please" I say opening the door and I stomp on his foot before I slam the door on him for the third time. "Idiot" I say under my breath as I touched my lips. He better be gone when Mitch comes I don't want some jealous freak stalking me. I grab my glasses and cap to help disguise me. I hear a knock at the door and I go to the door.
"Ali?" I say and the twenty-two year old girl nods.
"I'm doing the photo shoot with you my manager really wanted me to do this clothing line, so I thought I should meet up with you" she says with a smile. She wasn't at all the height requirement to be a model, but she was a stunner just like the rest of my friends. We were even called the beauties of Japan.
Ali had her hair cut short into a bob and was really choppy with dark purple highlights and was covered by her hood, she still had her lavender eyes, but now she always wore eyeliner that made them pop, but was now covered by fake nerdy glasses, she was 5'4, and had the body the body of a runner even though she never runs, she wore light purple jacket, underneath was a grey tank top, she wore dark denim shorts, she wore socks with all kinds of words on them that went up to her knees, and wore lavender running shoes.
"That's cool" I murmur.
"Hey, have Miyako and Momoko been annoying the heck out of you about finding a guy?" She asks as we enter the elevator.
"You bet" I groan.
"It just doesn't make any sense guys will always turn out to become lying, cheating, douche bags" Ali says with a sigh.
"Yuki" I say and she nods. "Your name is going to be ruined if you keep that on again off again relationship" I say.
"You're way to straightforward Kaoru-sempai" she says tugging at a piece of her hair.
"Just shining the light" I say as we enter the subway and Ali puts in her ear buds.
"No way is that" she starts pointing at a poster on a bulletin board.
"Yup, I can't believe he proposed to her here" I say. How could Momoko even be happy, she dreamed for her proposal since she found out about the other sex, pretty much. And Dexter and that great huge brain decides to propose to her on a subway.
"I kinda feel bad for her" Ali says as we take a seat.
"How could you not" I say looking at the poster one last time. "So what's the clothing brand like?"
"Well, it's like a warehouse kinda theme, you'll see when we get there. They said they wanted both of us as the stores face's since it's new and all. They wanted Kyoko as well, but she's on her honey moon" Ali says as she blew a strand of hair out of her sight.
"Skirts?" I ask with a teasing smile.
"Yup" Ali says grinning. I have gotten over my hatred of skirts and heels, but not girly junk. As long as the skirts make me look bad-ass and I look like I'm independent then I'm fine with them as long as they're not cheerleader short. "This is our stop."
15 minutes later…
We were already dressed and ready to go. I wore my hair pinned to my right side, I wore a white dress shirt that was only buttoned up three buttons and there were seven, but that didn't faze me I'm a model after all, I wore a military jacket over it which had all kinds of buttons on it and was rolled up to the bottom of my elbow, no skirt though I wore dark denim jeans that were rolled up to my mid thighs, which had two belts that hanged around my hip, and I wore brown colored combat boots that were folded to reveal on the inside was plaid. As for accessories I wore all black rings on my right ear, on my left I had a silver dangling earring that had small charms like a gun, I wore a dog tag, and on my right hand I had black silk glove.
Ali wore her hair like mine, but to the left and was braided on the right, a white dress, with a vest over it, on her hip was a thin silver braided belt, she wore a grey pelted skirt, she wore socks that went up to her mid-thighs were black and at the top of them they were white, she wore heel that were black and buckled and the heel part was wooden. For accessories she wore her signature butterfly piercing on her nose, for her ear piercings they were just diamonds that grew with each piercing as you looked down her ear, and around her neck was a dog tag similar.
"Great expressions girls" Riku says as we began our posing. "You can bring the male model in now" he says and my nightmare comes out from behind with a smirk plastered on his face. He wore an old fashioned Confederate uniform (side note from author: I do not support this, I just thought since they usually wore raggedy kinds of uniforms it would look better you know?).
"Great you can go stand between them and work your magic" Riku says patting his brother's back. I look at the others and see how the girls were already flocking around.
"No way isn't that boy, from England's Fancy"
"Yeah, it is word has it he came here just to find his first love and work at her side"
"No way whoever she is she sure is lucky, I would so die to be in her place"
"Hey there sweetheart" he whispers into my ear.
"Would you not do that here" I growl and he just smirks at me while Ali gives me a questioning look. I go back to my work which wasn't very comfortable with Shiro holding both of us this way and that way.
"Kaoru-sama you're too stiff" Riku says looking away and I sigh.
30 minutes later…
"What was with you?" Ali asks me as we change.
"That guy he's well," I say and then I explain everything to her.
"I can see why now, why didn't you tell me and they had us in all those positions. He stole my 5,000 yen I tunes gift card" she says annoyed. (side note from author: They do have yen I tune gift cards, each convenience store had them somewhere… Like those porn magazines *shivers* Why did that have to pop up in my mind TnT)
"Sorry, Ali" I say with a wry smile.
"Ali-sama" a girl with dark brown eyes, brunette hair that was cut in layers and the longest layer touched her shoulders, she was skinny and had few curves, she had both ears pierced twice, she was around 5'3, she wore a grey v-neck, over it was a black tee and on the back it had a silhouette of a man smoking and above it, it said Streetlight Manifesto, she wore black skinny jeans, ankle high grey high tops, and in her hand was a clipboard.
"Yeah, Cosmic?" Ali says turning around. (side note from author: lookie, lookie it's me!)
"You need to hurry , you still have that interview with Forever True before you get time off" the younger girl whines.
"Ok, ok you can go now" Ali says ushering her out ignoring her protests.
"Who was that?" I ask cocking an eyebrow.
"My newest manager" she says sweat dropping.
"No way, how old was she" I ask not believing it for a second.
"19 she may be young, but she certainly gets the job done no matter how many times she gets distracted. Which is most of the time" Ali says with a sigh.
"You're going to the bar with us right?" I ask and she nods. (note from author: legal drinking age in Japan 20)
"You bet, it's been so stressful" she says finishing changing. "I better get going before Cosmic ransacks the food that's out" she says giving me a smile as I sweat drop. I guess I'll just be home alone again I thought to myself as I walked out of the building.
"Bark, Bark" a mutt says as it clawed at my feet.
"Hey cut that out" I say stepping away from the dog and the dog follows after me. "Hey silly puppy" I say picking it up it was a cocker spaniel and it licked my cheek. "Maybe I won't be that lonely with you" I say and it barks at me. "I'm going to guess you're a girl, how about I call you Pepper" I say and she barks at me.
"I hope I don't turn into one of those crazy animal ladies" I say.
Shiro's P.O.V.
"Guess you've finally found her" My younger brother, Riku, says as we get changed.
"Can't believe you had to go away from us so long though" my older brother, Kaito, says as he wraps his arms around me.
"Have you gone homo on me while I was gone" I say jerking him off as he laughs at me.
"You guys are just all gay if you ask me" Caide says he was one of our childhood friend's.
"Well, we weren't" Riku says sticking out his tongue.
"So you have a fitness class and you work as a food critic" I say looking at Kaito who shrugs.
"I have to maintain my image you know" he says with a laugh and I roll my eyes.
"What about the other guys what do they do now?" I ask a bit curios ignoring my brothers and friend who rolled their eyes.
"Man, you didn't keep in contact with anyone. What the hell were you doing there?" Caide says as we walk over out of the dressing room.
"Stuff, so what do the guys do now?"
"Well, Eiji owns his own nightclub, Koumori is a music coordinator, Hiroshi is an actor, and Naman is world famous speaker for people's rights, but we're all pretty famous ourselves" Riku answers me.
"And Naman and Hiroshi surprisingly gave into settling in" I ask and they nod.
"But aren't you after that one girl?" Caide asks and I laugh.
"Only to crush her pride, there's a few things that went on between us. Besides everyone knows I'm a player how can I give my heart to one girl. Think about it this way I'm a whole pizza and if only one person gets that whole pizza they'll end up becoming sick, but if I were to share myself with everyone then everyone would be happy" I say putting my arm around him and slapping his cheek.
"That is true, hey look over there" Caide says pointing at a chick with a sports bra on who was checking us all out. Idiot, he has the attention of a squirrel when he sees a chick with a huge chest.
"How much you want a bet, I've got her attention" Brick says with a cocky grin.
"As if she would want a dinosaur like you" Riku says.
"And I don't think she would want a kid" I say grinning at my younger brother.
"I'm in the run too I mean look at these muscles" Caide says flexing his muscles.
"No one likes a muscle head" my brothers and I say at the same time.
"Hey there" the girl says coming up to me. "Here's my number just in case you want it" she says handing me a slip of paper and then walks away.
"Damn, girls are so confusing" Caide says holding his head in his right hand. "Why can't they be like a vending machine?"
"A vending machine?" Kaito says with a laugh.
"Yeah when I ask for a coke I should get a coke not calupis" he says.
"But that would take the fun out of everything" I say. "The only way to figure out a woman is to get under her skin and figure out what makes her tick. Then when she throws her fit you see her true colors that explain her" I say.
"Well, isn't someone being a professor on love" Riku says.
"Love is a whole different thing from being a player little brother, let me tell you that" I say taking a sip of my water.
