Many thanks for reviewing this fic, even though it was only a handful, yet this is enough for me to bring in the next chapter, which will begin the confrontation between Nene and Lady Shademon, in which the villainess will make Nene get traumatized in order for her to go in to despair.
This is where Tagiru comes in…
Ch. 2: Rachi
Hong Kong.
The scene shows that a concert is ongoing, and you can see that a lot of fans are assembled at an open park with some metal barricade placed on front to keep the crowd in check, and at the first row of the crowd are three teenage boys watching, enjoying the "main attraction" in which Nene is currently performing on stage. The boys who stood in the front row turn out to be Taiki Kudo, Yuu Amano and Tagiru Akashi, and Tagiru himself appeared excited as he is awaiting for someone, and Yuu sighed as he wondered why he allowed himself to bring Tagiru along though Taiki told Yuu that it is okay to bring him alone as the younger teen is looking forward to the concert.
"Oh yeah...Nene!"
"Pipe down, Tagiru!"
"Easy, Yuu..."
"Nene! Nene! Nene! Nene!"
"He really is an idiot..."
"Now, now, Yuu..."
"How can you be so calm about this, Taiki?"
"Just relax and enjoy the show, Yuu...it's better after a well-fought battle against Quartzmon..."
As the concert is nearing its final minutes, the crowd roared in applause as Nene is singing her final song, and none of the audience are aware that Lady Shademon is watching and her eyes are focused on Nene as she glanced at her from head to toe, slowly admiring her beauty and figure, and there a malevolent idea formed in her head as she came up with a way to give her some "mental torture" and began to put her plot in action.
By then the final act of the concert is completed and Nene thanked her fans for their attendance and appreciating her song number, which they roared in applause, and are chanting her name as she leaves the stage, with Taiki and Yuu smiling seeing that her concert is a success, and there Yuu led Taiki and Tagiru towards the backstage area so they can meet with Nene, which Tagiru is looking forward to meet with her again.

At the backstage area, Nene is meeting with the three boys, though Yuu is surprised that Tagiru managed to brought a bouquet of roses and gave them to her, while Taiki smiled seeing that Tagiru is showing signs of being interested in her though Yuu asked his friend if this is okay, which Taiki replied that it is okay and it is normal for things like this to happen, though Yuu is still worried over his elder sister being possibly courted by Tagiru.
"What the...? How did Tagiru managed to buy those bouquet of roses?"
"Looks like He's serious in pursuing her..."
"Taiki! Are you allowing this to happen?"
"I don't see why not..."
"But...but..."
"Relax...Nene's at the age where she would entertain suitors...it's normal..."
"But Tagiru...he's...he's..."
"It's okay...Tagiru's a reliable friend...and it's up to Nene whether she accepted his confession or not..."
Nene and Tagiru chatted and they seemed to be enjoying each others' company, though Taiki and Yuu interjected themselves as well and the four teens chatted more until her manager tells them that it is time for her to go to her condominium, in which the three boys accompanied her there and within 30 minutes they arrived where they spent the time hanging out together until it is night time and the three boys decided to head for a hostel to spend the night and meet with Nene again tomorrow, and the three boys bid her goodnight while Nene smiled at Tagiru, slowly becoming fond of him.
As the three boys left the condominium, Nene went to the bathroom and took a shower, in which she stared at the mirror to admire her body before taking a shower, and after several minutes she wrapped her body in a towel and is about to leave the bathroom when she heard a rather familiar voice, which she slowly became aware that she is facing someone, and there Lady Shademon appeared and Nene became apprehensive as her X-Loader is outside, on her bed, and the enemy is right in front of the bathroom door.
"Hello, dear..."
"You...! It can't be...!"
"Surprised to see me?"
"What do you want?!"
"Inviting you...I thought we should have a little chat...in private, that is..."
"I refuse!"
"Too bad...the invitation can't be revoked..."
"Blast!"
As Nene thinks of a way to get passed her opponent, she is taken by surprise a she is slowly "sinking" on the floor, only to realize that she is being taken to the Digi-Quartz and tried to fight her way out, struggling but everything she did was in vain and she was soon taken away, leaving only her towel that fell from her hair when she tried struggling. And because the incident happened inside the bathroom, her screaming for help did not escape the bathroom, and thus no one outside her condominium unit heard her cries for help.
-x-
A block away from the condominium, Taiki stopped when Yuu stopped all of the sudden as he realized that he forgot to give something to Nene and is contemplating in going back just to give it to her yet he is having second thoughts as he did not want to bug her but Tagiru suggested that he will give it to her, which Yuu became suspicious as to why he would volunteer, suspecting that he just want to "score some points" for Nene, which Tagiru sheepishly replied in a rather failed rebuttal.
"Why not let me do the delivery..."
"You?"
"Yup!"
"Wait a minute...unless you want to "earn some points" from my sister, are you?"
"E-heh-heh-heh..."
"Tagiru...!"
"It's okay, Yuu...Tagiru will just give the item to her..."
"You're not taking his side again, are you, Taiki?"
Yuu is considering not letting Tagiru go to the condominium, but Taiki smiled and played the "peacemaker" to keep his two friends from bickering and persuaded Yuu to let Tagiru deliver the item to Nene as he sees nothing wrong, and Yuu sighed in defeat as he instructed his fellow schoolmate on what to give her and an overjoyed Tagiru hopped around as he leaves the scene and heads toward the condominium to deliver the item to Nene, and hoped that he would get to chat with her even more.
Yuu sighed and asked Taiki why he would allow this knowing that Tagiru would want to chat with Nene though Taiki assured that it is okay as this would give Nene something to think of, as she is now at the age where she can entertain suitors, and seeing Tagiru as a potential suitor, he slowly sees something good is about to happen until a limousine passes by and there the two boys saw that it was Nene's talent manager, who arrived to see Nene, and things became tense when told that Nene has not answering her cellphone for the last 10 minutes, and both Taiki and Yuu glanced at each other, slowly sensing that something is wrong, and Taiki began talking to the talent manager to try and get some clues.
"You've been calling her for the last several minutes?"
"Yes...she hasn't answered her cellphone..."
"How about the telephone?"
"I tried that too...but no answer..."
"Maybe she's at the bathroom..."
"But just called her a minute ago...there's still no answer...!"
"Alright...give us a ride...we're heading for her condo unit!"
"Okay, hop on!"
The two boys then boarded the limousine and they, along with Nene's talent manager, head for the condominium to get to Nene, hoping that nothing untoward has happen, which ironically, has, as Nene was already being taken by Lady Shademon.
To Be Continued…
Hope you liked this chapter of this new arc, and I apologize if this is quite short compared to the other fics, but rest assured that the next chapters will be longer once they are uploaded and ready for reading.
Looks like things are not looking good for Nene as she is caught by surprise and taken away before she had the chance to get her X-Loader, and as she is taken away, no one knows of her situation until luck stuck and both Taiki and Yuu slowly suspect that their friend is in danger and heads back to the condo unit to see if Nene is okay.
Moreover, Tagiru has already went ahead and will no doubt figure out what has happened to her, but how will he save her as he has no clue on where she is taken?
With these situation happening, how will this affect Nene and will Tagiru and the others would find out about this new threat?
Preview:
Lady Shademon makes her move and starts to take her revenge on Nene, subjecting her to some humiliating tortures and managed to hid herself from the others, but someone is bound to save her...
