I expect you to know the disclaimer already! :P Hahaha joke joke.

Time passed by fast as Christmas came and went by, just as new year came and passed by.

I thought about the events of the past weeks and I realized time flew by so quickly.
I also realized Ryou's birthday was coming up and I kept thinking about what to get him.
It was already 2016.. It felt so weird, if I were still living my old life I'd be busy for the last part of my studies to become a nurse. So weird to think about that.

I pulled the blanket I was holding up to my nose, I was lying on the couch in Ryou's house. We had been at the café most of the day and Ryou had driven us to his home. I was way too tired to go home from his place besides it was way more comfortable for me to stay at his place.

Nowadays instead of staying at the café I stayed at Ryou's place whenever it was needed. And it had been the past few weeks. There had been more fights lately and it made me feel drained of energy. Instead of showing my parents how I looked I was able to stay here.
Katelinn stayed at Zakuro's.
Even though the fights had been more they also got better, especially since I now fought with the girls as their equal and not as someone who was just there to support them from the background.
Due the fighting I had to use my powers more on a daily basis and I started to notice it. In the beginning I really had to concentrate to let my ears and tail come out but now they came out whenever I felt excited or extremely happy about something. And happy was something I was quite a lot nowadays. Now Ryou and I were going steady I had a lot to be happy of, of course we had our occasional fights but beside that everything was going fine. Because I was a lot at Ryou's place I didn't need to worry about my ears and tail popping out. Also I didn't have a job besides working at the café so my days were filled with hanging around, working and sometimes doing some things around my parents work. I wasn't planning on taking up a job because one I felt it would take too much time, second because I might need to leave in the middle of my shift which would be problematic and third because the only degree I had was nursing and nursing is hard work.
Since I wasn't that idiotic, as I got the same IQ as Ryou, I helped the guys out with their research.

"Mits?"

"Hmm?"

I looked up to see him standing next to the couch with hot chocolate.

"Yay!" I sat up.

He sat down and put the mucks down on the table.
He took me into his arms and while I lay against him, we watched television.
The phone rang. I was the one closest to it and even though I didn't want to move an inch I still stood up to take the phone.

"Shirogane residence."

"Mitsuki? Mitsuki, help me…. Help… beep beep beep."

I stared at the phone with utter disbelieve. Then I quickly took my phone and searched for the place Ringo was, luckily we all had trackers placed on our phones so we could track each other in time of need, the good thing was that the trackers were made by Ryou and me so we made it so no one could hack us.

"Mits?"

"It was Ringo, she was panicking.. She asked for help."

I looked worried at Ryou. He nodded and stood up to get our coats.

We reached the place where my phone said Ringo was and I was staring at what I saw.
The whole place was basically laying in ruins. We were just a bit out of Tokyo in the countryside and the farm that used to stand at the place we stood, was gone.

"Ringo? RINGO?!"

Ryou and I searched the place and found Ringo a kilometer from where the farm used to stand. She was bruised and bleeding, standing across a chimera animal.

''Mew mew Mitsuki Metamorpho~sis!"

My transformation was somewhat like a kimono, only shorter and it was pink, golden coloured. My shoes were heels in the same colour and I had a collar around my neck with a stone looking like the moon, on my tail was a ribbon with on that the mew medallion.

Ringo and I fought the chimera animal together.

"Mew heart wand!" My wand came out.

"HEART ATTACK!"

It hit the chimera animal and it screamed it dissolved in the air.

"Meh, why did you have to defeat it?"

"Not you again?!"

A small girl with bright blond hair looked down to me while she was in the air.

"Jaqueline! You crazy little girl, why the hell did you let her come out here?" I asked.

"Because it's fun of course! Well.. Byeee!"

The girl disappeared but before fully disappearing she threw something, right towards my head. It was a rock and I wasn't quick enough to duck so it hit me right on my head.

I fell backwards and everything went black.

Few weeks earlier.

Ryou had told me to meet up with him at Tokyo tower at 16.30.
When I arrived it was 16:05 so I decided to find a place to sit down..
he clock turned 16:40 and still he wasn't here. I started to worry. When the time became 17.00 I felt someone ticking on my shoulder.

"Sorry for letting you wait, I was stuck in a traffic jam."

Ryou kissed me on the cheek.

"You must be hungry. Let's go eat somewhere."

I nodded. Ryou turned and we walked in a direction I wasn't really aware of. In the crowd it was hard to see where I was going and Ryou walked so fast I barely could keep up with him. I almost fell over and I tried to grab his arm so I didn't lose him. He stopped and turned around.

"Are you okay?"

I nodded again.
He started walking again. But this time he just took my hand and held it while we walked into a neighborhood with some restaurants.

"I made a reservation for that restaurant." He pointed out a very expensive and famous restaurant.

I was surprised. "That is a very expensive restaurant!" I tried not to disturb anyone around us.

When we came in there was a queue of people.

"Are you sure we can even eat here, tonight?"

Ryou grinned. He walked past the people and talked to one of the staff. They looked my way and then nodded a few times. Ryou then came back.

"He will be right back,, The staff member came back and nodded at us. ''Come, he has found a table for us.''

We ate some delicious food. We laughed and had a good time. Before I knew the clock turned 18:30. Ryou paid and we thanked to people who served us, we sent a message to the chef that the food was superb and then we left.

"There is somewhere I want to take you. But we have to take the metro, bus or car. What do you prefer?"

I was surprised, he had more in mind for this evening?

"Car please."

Ryou nodded and then took his phone, before I knew there was a car. We got in the car.

"To Akihabara please." I looked surprised at Ryou.

"Where are we going?"

"Feel free to guess." He said mysterious with a grin on his face.

He was always like this when he had something sneaky in his mind.

"Akihabara…. Akihabara…. It can't be for shopping…. Eehhh… ehhhh.. No it can't be….."

Ryou just smirked. "Think you got it?"

I nodded, but I couldn't say it, because we just arrived at our destination.

We stepped out of the car. First Ryou stepped, he then took my hand and helped me out of the car. He made me feel like a movie star.

"I knew it!" I looked at Ryou. "You have tickets? How?"

"I did my best to get my hands on them." I couldn't help myself but hug him. I was so happy.

I was going to go to an AKB48 show in their theater!
I saw all the banners and realized it was a really special day.

"The 10th anniversary?!"

I was a really big fan of AKB48, mainly Takahashi Minami, the soukantoku of the group.

We went in the building and went to the eight floor where the AKB Theater is. After a lot of stuff we went in and sat on the third row. I freaked out, I was like really close to the stage. The people in front of us were foreigners, from all over the world. I said hi to them and Ryou and I talked to them. Where they were from and stuff like that.
When the show started first some understudies came out (people who are in the group but are like learning and aiming to become real members). After that members came out. We had a great time and I cried a few through the event.

When the show finished we went out and there where the member standing in a row. You could give them sort of high five, but not a real high five. Because if that went wrong, you would hit them in the face. That is not something you want to happen.
I gave the members a high five and I was really happy because I could give Takamina one. (Really fangirling).

"Ryou, thank you so much!" I was shining and really happy.

Ryou grinned. "No problem. I didn't know you were such a fangirl."

I smiled. "Yes I am. Before I came to Tokyo I already was. You don't know half of it."

When I woke up I looked at a white ceiling and I immediately knew I wasn't at home.
I tried sitting up but someone softly pushed me back onto the pillow.
I looked at my side and saw Ryou looking very worried.
I tried to speak but no word would leave my mouth so I kinda started to panic.

"Calm down. You got hit on the head and they had to put you under anesthesia to stop the bleeding and close the wound."

I calmed down but still was really scared of what had happened.
Like Ryou knew what I was thinking, he said.

"You have been out for a few days. Don't worry, it's all fine now."

Ryou took my hand in his and softly squeezed it.

"Just try to rest, okay? I will be here when you wake up."

I softly nodded and closed my eyes again.

22 December 2015

I woke up and went downstairs. Everything was bright, the sun coming in. It smelled good.

I turned around the corner. Ryou was standing in the kitchen, cooking.

"Pancakes..."

I was almost taking them out of the pan. My favorite breakfast.
Ryou laughed. He pushed me on my back towards the table.

"Go on, sit down. I am almost done."

I sat down while Ryou went to take the last pancake out of the pan.

Seriously, if I were a anime character my eyes would be hearts and I would be drooling over the place.
We ate and then I went dressing myself.

When I got downstairs Ryou was holding car-keys, and Katelinn was behind him.

'Don't ask me, I don't know." she said.

We just went into the car, driving around at an unknown place for Katelinn and me.
We then parked the car... At the airport. We went into the airport. Katelinn and I looked at each other. We were thinking the same, what the hell did we do here? We just followed Ryou.

We stood at a board.

"Look for this flight."

He gave us a paper with information on it. We looked at the board. The flight came out of England.. The plane would land within 5 minutes. And we had to be at the other side of the airport.
Katelinn and I looked at each other. Then we ran. We ran ad fast we could to the section we had to be..

"Run! We are going to be too late!"

I almost couldn't run anymore. We got onto the wrong section so we had to ran half of the way back to the right section. And Ryou had to follow us.

Then we were there. We were catching our breath. We had to ran so much. I sighed.
I then just looked at the door as they opened. And there came out random people. Then when I thought everyone came through, I heard laughter. I looked. Then my eyes crossed other eyes. Jen... I ran towards her. I then cried.

"Jen! I missed you!"

She cried too. "I missed you too."

I just held her tight.

"It felt so empty without you, our room is so cold. Your spot is so empty, it is so strange."

We cried so much.
I then let go of her, and went to two other friends of mine Tomoyo, Louise. I missed them so much.

After that we went to my home because apparently my parents promised everyone could stay over there.
We had fun, we went into the city and went to the café as well where I forced Ryou paying all the things we ate instead of taking it out of my paycheck which he teased me with. Not that I would've minded though.

I opened my eyes but things were really blurry and I still felt really tired. Instead of fighting the sleepiness I just let it come over me.

1 January 2016

"Happy new year!"

I was at home with my family and Keiichirou and Ryou.

"Mitsu-nee, hug!" Yuuki welped.

Yuuki was my little sister. I hugged her.

"Onee-chan, you look really tired."

This time I woke up and everything was pretty bright and my eyes weren't as blurry as they had been last time. I looked lower at the bed where Ryou had fallen asleep. I smiled, he had stayed like he had promised.
I sat up and I teasingly poked his cheek. His eyes went open and he sat up.

"How are you feeling?"

"I could ask you the same, you were sleeping really cute." I couldn't help but giggle.

"I am fine." I answered Ryou's question.

After 2 days I was discharged and could go home. I was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks and I was glad I finally got out.

I dumped my bag on the floor and threw my shoes out.
Ryou laughed and put them away neatly.
I let myself fall down on the couch.

"Good to be home."

"Home?"

I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, home. I have been here more than at my parents over the past weeks."

Ryou sat down beside me and I turned so I could face him.

"Wanna move in?" Ryou asked.

I looked surprised at him.

"As you said you have been here more than at your home so why not just make this place your home?"

I blushed.

"Wouldn't we be going too quick? We have been together for almost 2 months."

"Do you think I am going to quickly?"

I shook my head but I wasn't that sure, Ryou noticed.

"You know you and I have known each other for almost your whole life, why not just take things as they come instead of thinking what seems right or wrong to others."

I moved my face close to his.

"Well then, let's get my stuff tomorrow shall we?"

He grinned and kissed me. He wrapped his arms around me and I couldn't help but kiss him back, he then pulled me into a hug and I couldn't help but smile.
