Stage Name: Hiromi Tachibana
--------------------------------------------
The sun was setting, and on one side of town a brunette sat with her knees pulled to her chest, tears cascading down her cheeks bitter-sweetly as she stared off the porch and at the red sky. That was a killer decision, wasn't it? She…she was going to run away… and totally rejoin the company, advise it to move back to New York City rather than Japan. She wasn't even going to say goodbye… maybe one day they would see her on TV. They would call her a bitch -of course they would- but she wouldn't have to hear them say it, and that was better then having to see them say it to her. She couldn't stand that.
On the other side of town at the beach, the Bladebreakers were packing up to leave. Kai Hiwatari carelessly glanced across the sand…that's when he saw it. Hilary's pink cell phone was lying near by, flashing "One Missed Call" repeatedly. Where had she been running off to lately? Why was she acting so strange? She must've dropped her phone when she rolled down the dune. Curiosity for his teammate's well-being enveloped his mind…no, not just for his teammate, for the girl who'd seemed to have won his heart… So, after rubbing his temple once, he reached across the sand and brought the phone to his ear, checking the message.
"Hiromi, it's Cindy -of course-, I'm sorry about before, sweetie. I'm just calling to tell you that we plan on shooting the next part of the video tomorrow at one, and Lawrence and I want you to join us for breakfast, and my little baby girl Kimi wants to see you too, so John is going to run her down. Alright, I'll wrap it up. Meet us at De Glamour Records Studio Five tomorrow for practice, I'll email you later about where we'll be having breakfast. Bye, dolly, stay cute!" Kai almost dropped the phone…well, he'd definitely be at Studio Five tomorrow…
Chapter Three:
Studio Five
"Hiromi, duck!" and with that terrified plead to save the girl's life, a gunfire echoed, loudly. A girl screamed out.
"Ah," Her cry was in exasperation, "leave me alone! Please, God, leave me alone!" Her voice resounded in hysterics. Another gunfire shot into the stale air of the studio, and another scream escaped her lungs. She cried out in agony and clutched her shoulder. "I'm gonna die! Oh, my God, I'm going to die! Please save me!"
"Oh, My God! Someone help!"
--
"Sweetie, hey sweetie, love? Zone in!" She blinked repeatedly shaking the memory and glancing around the table of warm faces.
"Um, I'll have two chocolate-chip pancakes?" Her ruby eyes looked at the woman taking her order, whom was now nodding furiously and writing it down…the woman was definitely scatter-brained. Hilary stole a quick glance at Cindy, whom had shaken her out of her reverie…her terrible, truthful nightmare.
"Right, okay, um? Yea…So, that's a muffin for Miss Kimiko, a muffin for…John? Yea, John," The waitress kept thinking, "Eggs for dude," The waitress couldn't -once again- recall Lawrence's name, "Eggs for the lady with purple hair? And…um…pancakes for….for…uh, what's your name, girl?" Before Hilary could even answer, Cindy cut in.
"Kathleen, her name is Kathleen." She said smoothly, as well as quickly. The waitress seemed to accept this, turning to exit as she repeated the names over and over.
"Kathleen?" Kimiko and John Katimikae stared at the mother and wife with purple hair.
"Kathleen?" Lawrence inquired.
"Kathleen?" Hilary quirked an eyebrow.
"You must keep a low profile, Hiromi, remember? I couldn't just tell her you were Hiromi Tachibana, could I?" Cindy fluffed her napkin. Lawrence muttered something like "You are so dramatic," under his breath faintly. Hilary smiled.
"Kathleen. Right," Hilary smiled. "Well, so we shoot after this, right?" Hilary made conversation.
"Yeap, so says Mommy," Kimiko Katimikae, Cindy's cutesy and intelligent six-year-old daughter said. John, Cindy's husband -who was not so into the whole celeb scene- nodded as well.
"Oh, are you guys coming, John?" Hilary -Hiromi- asked.
"Kimiko and I aren't," John said simply.
"Kimi-chan has piano practice," Cindy clapped her hands. "Wonderful!"
-----------------------------------
His hands were tucked into the pockets of his overly-baggy jeans, he walked with his eyes closed, and he walked to a set area. Kai Hiwatari paced down the streets of Bakuten, heading for "Studio Five", and hopefully Hilary Tatibana as well. He still had no idea what was going on with her…none. Her actions were strange, she seemed stressed, secretive…afraid to tell them something? And God, could he smell a secret. But his mind continuously argued with him: why would Hilary, Hilary Tatibana, a girl he knew and had grown to love –secretly- be hiding something? It made no sense! However, his good judgment told him otherwise. He cursed himself for that. Why couldn't he leave well enough alone? Oh, yea, because she'd totally captured his heart and he'd fallen in love with her.
Kai Hiwatari sighed and looked up at a big door that said "Studio Five", it had been easy enough to sneak past security. But what in heaven's name was Hilary doing here? She had to be keeping something, and there was one way to find out…open that door…. So, Kai Hiwatari took his hands from his pockets and placed them on the door handle, pushing it open to find something he'd never even thought possible…empty? The room was filled with stuff, but there were no people in it. How the hell could that happen? He was about to leave when he heard the… music? Yeah, it was definitely music. Then, once again, his good judgment took power, and Kai Hiwatari walked towards the music…
-------------------------------------
Her shoes were red, three-inch heels, her hair was pulled up, a piece of it falling around her face; she wore a yellow tube-top and a pale blue skirt. The valley like patch of grass behind the studio was her background, the grass fresh and stirring in the fragrant breezes. She lie on said emerald green grass, a few scarce white clovers around her perfectly.
"Alright, take three. Ready in three…two…" Lawrence mouthed the word one, "Action," She looked up at the camera, a grim smile, almost remorseful, on her face.
"They say that girl ya know she act too tough, tough, tough; well, it's till I turn off the light, turn off the light," She rolled over, propped up on her elbows, knees sprawled behind her, slowly crawling up, "They say that girl ya know she act so rough, rough, rough; well, it's till I turn off the light, turn off the light," She rolled and sprung off the ground, hair bouncing. She walked, slowly and sassily, towards to the camera. She looked almost vengeful as she knowing swished her eyebrows up. "And I say "follow me, follow me, follow me: down, down, down, down; till you see all my dreams"," And then, as she stepped, she fell, spiraling down with gorgeous effect, looking like a falling dove, "Not everything in this ma-gi-cal world is quiteee what it seems," she sprung off the ground, and she was so unaware she was being watched by a boy who shouldn't know her identity. She rolled her eyes for effect in the song, the camera angling her in with the majestic blue sky "I looked above the other day," She grinned at the camera.
"Cut! And we're done with this little segment! Excellent, Hiromi, as always! Ah, you have such talent, doll!" Lawrence clapped his hands. Hilary was thrilled by the complement, but that soon faded. Just as she looked around, she saw him…and he was awe-struck, mouth ajar, and slightly angry looking.
"You're doing the "suck up thing" again, Lawrence," Cindy rolled her eyes, then caught site of gaping and shocked Hilary, eyes starting to water as she brought her hand to her mouth. "Babe? Baby? Love? Honey?"
"Hiromi, are you okay? Hiromi?" the studio stopped. She shook her head no and rasped out a word" his name.
"Kai…" She blinked and a tear fell, "Oh, my God, Kai," She looked so scared.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing at all. She'd been lying this whole time. No wonder why she acted so weird when that song came on four weeks or so ago…it was her song…
"Hilary…you lied…" it was all he could manage as he stared at her, stared at all the workers revolving around the whims of "Hiromi Tachibana". Hiromi Tachibana was his Hilary Tatibana…his Hilary was Hiromi. Her ruby eyes were glittering with tears that were littering around her face. Maybe it was all the stress, her emotions running high for the fact she was living a double life, though that double life looked like it had just vanished….Hiromi –Hilary- didn't know if she should scream in confusion or sing in relief that someone knew and her double-life was over. God, she needed to compose herself…pronto! He wasn't about to give her time, it seemed.
"Kai…" He turned away from her, and she suddenly became frantic, "Kai!" He didn't even turn to look at her, but started walking away, his mind racing.
Hilary, still shell-shocked, found she couldn't breathe. She needed him! She couldn't let him leave her! That's the moment when the string linking you to reality vanish without a trace, just a memory, where everything in the world you couldn't give a damn about, shut out the screaming and yelling of the world, shut off all the bright lights, she ran to him on a whim and she did the only thing she could think of to get him to stay. She ran around the studio and parking lot, and kissed him. Hilary Tatibana kissed Kai Hiwatari.
