"I used to meet her at the video arcade every Saturday night at 7 'o clock. WE'd stay there for about an hour, then get some dinner and watch a movie in her basement, but she was never my girlfriend." Shin sighed and walked back into the bathroom to finish getting dressed.
'Though I wish she had been. Saturday is just the day after tomorrow. Maybe this mystery will finally be solved then.'
The next day and half a day after seemed yo pass agonizingly slow for Shin. He was too close yo cracking this all wide open.
Though Strify seemed completely mystifyed by the song Shin had wrote, and been too busy practacing to bother Shin about the girl and what was happenening Saturday, the others were a different story.
Kiro kept on about who she was while Yu was bothering him about weither he'd gotten any yet or if he could tag along and she could bring some pretty girlfriend for him to hang out with.
'I wonder how they would react if I told them the truth about all this...' Shin asked himself while getting himself ready for his "date."
Today he wore a waist length red wig that was strait at the top but the bottom was a mass of ringlets. With it he worse a plain tank and a pair of slightly ripped blue jeans, a pair of regular converse and a baggy sweatshirt. To finish this all off, his did his make-up slightly feminine, rather than his typical bold black.
At first glance you would think he was a woman, even the other band members seemed to agree when he walked in the room.
Yu had jumped a foot off the couch when he saw Shin, screaming some obscenetiesabout how a girl got in, Kiro was gaping, and Romeo looked dumbfounded. Strify was still in his room practacing, so he didn't get to see.
It wasn't until laughed at their reactions did any of them realize it was him.
'Guess that girl knows what she's talking about.'
"Oh my gawd, Shin! I thought you were some crazy fan girl who'd managed to sneak in here!!" Yu sputtered.
"You know..." Shin laughed, "If I was a fan girl who'd wondered in here, I'm not sure I'd still be one when I left... what with the way you reacted Yuki."
Yu scowled at Shin as Romeo and Kiro laughed.
"Ciao boys. 3" Shin said in the girliest voice he could manage, with a wink, a smile and a girly finger wave.
Shin walked out the door, leaving Yu, Kiro and Romeo gaping after him as if they'd just been struck.
Strify waltzed out of his room to get a drink so he could continue practacing when he knowticed the dumb looks on their faces.
"What's up with you three?"
Shin walked to the arcade where him and Alice would meet up Satuday nights. During the day Alice would attend a prep school about an hour outside of Berlin, so they only had the nights to hang out.
He had about an hour or so before he had to be there, so he decided to walk around a bit beforehand.
It had only been 5 minutes before he felt something slam into him from behind.
"Oh dear... I can't believe I did it again! I'm so sorry!"
Shin turned around nd laughed. Toni, the squeeky girl from the other day was dusting herself off.
"Oh, it's you again." She smiled meekly, "You did much better this time."
"Thanks, I took your advise."
"Oooh, yay."
"Are you looking for your Nee-Chan again?" Shin tried for a girly voice this time, so the people that were passing them wouldn't notice anything, whice caused Toni to burst out laughing.
"Hehee.. yup. She's always randomly disappearing."
"Well, how about I help you look for her this time?"
"Uhm... thank you very much." She bowed an they were off.
"So what's she like?"
"Hmm? Who, my Nee-Chan?"
"Yeah, she keeps ditching you and all, doesn't sound like a very nice person."
"Huh? Oh no! Nee-Chan would never do anything like that! She's kind and beautiful and fun and sweet and what not. I'm the one whose always getting lost."
"You like her that much? That you would blame yourself? She's just your sister."
"Actually, we're not really related. I just call her my Nee-Chan. She's just a friend of mine, but she's amazing. She brought me along with her to Germany for my birthday."
"I see. Then why do you call her your Nee-Chan?"
"Oh! Cause she's like an older sister to me. We're a group of four, you see. There is Nee-Chan and Nii-Chan and Usagi-Chan and myself. Nee-Chan and Usagi-Chan have been best friends since they were little things. Nee-Chan, Nee-Chan's older sister and Usagi-Chan. Then Nee-Chan meet Nii-Chan, whom to her is Tou-Chan, short for Ototo-Chan, and then me. And we've been friends since day one, back when she saved me from the school bully in elementry."
"Whoa, slow doen, your confusing me."
She meeped and blushed.
"Sorry."
"It's fine, go ahead, you were saying?"
"Well, to be honest, there isn't much else to really say. Nee-Chan and Usagi-Chan have been nearly inseperable since they were born, but recently Nee-Chan hasn't quite herself. Well... I guess it isn't so much recently, as it is since the accident a few year back. She's somewhat distant, from everyone, like she doesn't want to get too close."
"What happened to her?"
"WE... you see... Ne..." Toni stopped and her eyes sparkled for a second and she staired somewhere out into the distance. "NEE-CHAN!"
Toni bolted away from Shin's side and tackled a girl standing in front of the arcade. Shin took a look at the girl staring at him with sorrow in her eyes and realized that Toni's "Nee-Chan" was the mystery girl he'd been chasing.
