"ZATSUNE!" Akuma woke up in his inner world, which seems to be a little bit brighter. "Akuma Zatsune at your… OW!" Akuma punched him straight in the face. "What could you possibly need now?" Zatsune had cat ears while rubbing his nose. "It's just that you've been holding back your feelings from a certain someone. You need to be honest or you just may miss you chance!" Akuma turned his back. "I really don't have time for this… I have to think of a Christmas present…" Zatsune's ears went down. "Fine, fine… I'll let you out…" Akuma then woke up in his room. *Stop messing with me Zatsune.* He quickly rushed out of his room as an all-too-familiar cat left his room. "Time to explore this world a little more." He then ran off happily.
~O~O~
Akuma made it to the studio in time to hear that Fujino said she wanted to Miku and Akuma to be in Romeo and Cinderella with, of course, Miku singing. "I've noticed that there were not enough duets in this album and I wanted to even it out." Akuma's face became slightly red. "Fujino, you do know what that song is about, right?" Fujino had a cat mouth. "I know exactly what it is about. Fu, fu, fu." After the song and video were made, Akuma's face was beet red. "…I can't ever do that again…" Miku's was also red. "…Fuji-Chan is picking on us… I wonder why?" "That's because Akuma has something to… hey, where did he go?" Fujino looked at where Akuma was standing just to see an outline of him. "Grr… he can be so stubborn sometimes." Hitashi jumped up from her seat. "I'll go get Kuma." On the rooftop, Akuma was watching the clouds. *What's up with Fujino today...* "Kuma!" Akuma looked back and saw Hitashi with Miku next to her. With a careful look, one could see a shadow over Hitashi's eyes. After she moved Miku away from the door, she quickly ran back and looked it. "We are not leaving this spot until you tell the truth Kuma! Don't even try to fly away because there's a strong fiberglass dome around the roof!" Akuma sweatdropped. "That's a little extreme Hitashi… I didn't even consider flying or running…" He then turned to Miku. "Sorry about Fuji-Chan, she was just picking on…" "Akuma, you don't have to hide it anymore… Fuji-Chan gave me a hint…" *Crap, what did she tell her?* Miku pointed a finger at Akuma. "You like Rin, don't you?" Akuma fell to the ground. "I only think of her like a little sister. The one I like is… um…" He realized he couldn't keep eye contact with her. *If I tell her now… It will make thing weird…* Without realizing it, his whole face was slightly red. "I like… you." Miku's face turned red fairly quick. "R-really?" Akuma turned to the door to rip it off its hinges. "I… I've gotta go." Miku then grabbed his wrist, stopping him in his tracks. He looked back and noted that there was a shadow over her eyes. *Crap, I've gotta… huh?* When Miku looked up, she had sparkles in her eyes. "I… I like you too Akuma!" She then threw arms around his neck. "Miku…" Akuma placed his arms around her waist. On the other side of the door, Zatsune, in cat form, watched them while sitting on Hitashi's head. "Now we're cooking!" Hitashi reached up and grabbed him. "Score, a talking cat!" Zatsune struggled to get free. "NO! Please put me down!" Akuma heard the noise from the door. *What's Hitashi up to now?* Miku walked towards the door, which was somehow unlocked the whole time. "Come on Akuma, let's go and practice our next song together." Akuma slightly smiled. "Sure." She walked back to him and pecked him on his cheek and then ran off giggling. She could be heard singing "Koisuru".
Not really my best work... not really one for romance. Honestly, I have no problem with it. I just suck at it... Anyway, Akuma is finally opening up to someone. I haven't said this in a while but please review!
