YAY! A new chapter! *hides behind brick wall* I know this is super late, and really short, but I have been busy these past few days/months. I am working on the next chapter as you read, and it will hopefully be up soon. So, without further ado...Chapter 10. *whispers* don't forget to R&R.


Chapter 10

"I'll be waiting."

This can't be good. I thought it couldn't get any worse, but this is outright preposterous. I've narrowed it down to someone either in the company, or who has connections with the company. I don't want to point any fingers, but the only person I know capable of doing something like this is most likely Yokozawa. If his promise and the incident in the alley aren't proof enough, I'll just have to wait until he does something reckless.

Takano-san won't like me putting myself in danger, but unless we're attached to each other until I find out who is after me, putting myself in danger is the only thing I can think of. I know I should tell him, but I don't want to be babied.

"Takano-san?"

"Yes?"

"I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"
I can't tell him, but I should tell him. My god! How hard is it for me to just come out and say it? I mentally slapped myself, building my resolve.

"The p-person who's been threatening me is waiting for me. I think he thinks I'm alone. I don't know what to do." (A/N: He finally asked for help? My little Ricchan is all grown up. *sobs*)

"I have an idea, but you might be in a bit of danger. Trust me. It should work."

I don't know if I really should trust Takano-san. He does seem to have a plan, unless he's making it up now.

Takano P.O.V

I honestly do not have a single clue of how to go about this. His stalker is waiting for him, and he thinks Ritsu's alone. The only thing I can think of is hiding and letting Ritsu be confronted before stepping in. Knowing Ritsu, he might botch the plan, or run. I can't let anything go wrong if this is our only chance to stop this.

"Go alone. I'll be farther back to keep an eye on you. I'll step in when I need to."

"O-ok. I think it could work. Although, I wonder why we would be together if not for work."

"A date."

"Huh?"

"We'll go on a date. You're meeting me to go on a date. That'll be our excuse."

Ritsu blushed mad. He still gets embarrassed when I mention going on dates. It's adorable. I wish he'd get over this embarrassment soon. I don't like how people look at him sometimes.

We made our way towards the stations exit and were greeted by an unsuspecting sight. Yokozawa was waiting by the exit. He had the most threatening glare on his face. When he saw Ritsu, his eyes lit up. Good thing he hadn't noticed me, yet. I had just enough time to fall back and not be seen. I was far enough away not to be noticed, but close enough to hear them. Yokozawa approached Ritsu, and that's when my respect for the man went down the drain.


*Cue dramatic music* *dramatic gasp* What happened?! Wait...I wrote this...I know what happens ^^ But I won't tell. You will have to wait for the next chapter to be uploaded to find out. Before that happens, please review. More reviews=more writing juice=faster updates.

And I am still looking for anyone interested in doing cover art for this or any of my other stories, so shoot me a PM and let me know.
