"Thanks again for coming all the way from Japan. We hope you enjoy your stay in London", Alex said as Kitagawa smiled before he bowed looking please as they left the board room.
"Megumi, can you see Mr. Kitagawa out and arrange a taxi back to his hotel with the reception will you?", Kate said as she nodded before showing Kitagawa the way out as they walked towards the lift.
"Your boss should be please with the result", Miki can't help but saying as he smiled.
"Actually he expected it. He told me you're really good and I can count on you which is why he decided not to come afterall. He said he trust you enough to help me achieve our goals". He said as Miki took a deep breath trying to held her anger back at the thought of Ryouji.
"Is work really busy back in Japan?", she asked as they arrived on the ground level.
He nodded "Mr. Akagi had a special plan in place so he was very busy lately and things had been quite hectic at the office. He also made some structural changes within the office so everyone was working hard to adjust to the changes. I haven't seen him so serious and determined like this except for the first time he build his company. I was one of the staff that worked from him from the beginning and he's a very inspiring young man who knew well what he wanted and ambitious to achieve it", he smiled sounded so respectful of Ryouji that somehow made her anger subsided as a sense of proud filling in instead.
Kitagawa is almost old enough to be her dad and to hear him speak highly of a boss that half of his own age, he must have a high respect for Ryouji and Miki can't help but admired him for it too.
"Thanks again for everything Ogawa-san. Hope to see you sometimes in Japan. Mr. Akagi told me so much about you and he's right about everything." He smiled as Miki blushed slightly before she told the taxi driver where to take him and bowed slightly as the taxi drove off.
She watched as the taxi left before sighing. What a crap day. After all the high anticipation and even dressing up specially to see him only to learn he has chose work over seeing her. Didn't he miss her at all? Is being a wife means she was taken for granted like Hitomi was to Seiji? She felt like her tears is really coming out if she didn't try to hold herself together.
She gazed her watch before decided to go home. The meeting was scheduled in the afternoon and she was excitedly dreaming that after meeting she would be able to spend the rest of the evening with Ryouji exploring Westminster area and just be with him.
She was making her way towards the lift when a pair of hands grabbed her waist and turned her around before felt a lips softly touched hers as she widened her eyes in total surprised to find the eyes that she's been longing for staring straight at her. She felt her vision blurred as she realise its Ryouji who's stood there before her.
"What's with the tears, honey? You really think I would miss the chance to see my wife?", Ryouji said as he laughed making her blinked several time to take everything in before she hit his chest really hard.
"You! How could you do this to me? Are you having fun there?", she looked so furious he had to take a step back before pulling her closer again and held her hands stopping her from hitting him as he laughed.
"Is this your way to express how much you missed your husband?", he looked amused as she bit her lip hard trying her best to held back her tears.
"I thought you really didn't come! Why didn't you call me? Didn't you know I missed you like crazy?", she said as he closed her mouth before looking around.
"Stop yelling! People might think I'm harassing you", he said as she looked away.
"I should call the security and let them take you away", she said making him laughed at her remark knowing she still held grudge over the time he made securities escorted her to his office.
"Look Megumi, I missed you too or I won't be here right now. Let's get your bag and start this again. I'll wait for you here". He said as she sighed before she nodded.
"Don't go anywhere! You'd better still be here when I get back or I swear I might just divorce you", she warned him as he laughed out loud.
"I'll be here. I promised", he said as she turned and ran towards the lift. He watched her disappear as he smiled to himself.
He's been watching her ever since they stepped out from the elevator and can't stop noticing her disappointment as she took Kitagawa to the taxi rank and her sadness as she walked back in. He was going to wait until she finished work before surprising her but couldn't stand the sight of her looking so sad and down. He just had to hold her.
He knew she was missing him since she was calling him almost everyday which he wasn't used to. She never return his emails for the last 6 years and didn't expect her to be just as attached when they're only been separated for a week.
He felt the same way and glad that this time she felt just as bad as him but to do what he wanted to do required a lot of time and working overtime on his side to make sure he can pull this off.
He was leaning on the wall not far from the glass door when the lift opened and he smiled at the sight of his wife. Miki looked very chic in her dress and boots and her long hair was softly curled and he noticed she had re-applied the soft gloss on her lips as she walked towards him excitedly. Gone were all the anger and disappointment on her face and its been replaced with excitement and a clear happiness.
At the sight of her walking towards him, he spread his arms wide open as she smiled at the sight before running towards him and went straight into his embrace.
"Happy to see me, finally?", he asked as she nodded before looking up to him.
"Let's go then, shall we? I rent a car here. Shall we go to your dorm and pack up?", he asked as she looked at him.
"I thought you're staying with me at the dorm", she sounded surprised as he grabbed her waist and walked towards the lift to the basement.
"Well.. Don't we need some privacy?", he winked as she blushed slightly.
"Where do you stay?", she asked as he smiled.
"Not far from here. The Park Plaza", he said as Miki smiled. "Same as Kitagawa. I should have guessed". He nodded as he pointed a red luxury car.
She raised her eyebrows as he chuckled "don't give me that look. Just get in!", he said as she did.
"So how long are you planning to stay?", she asked as he entered her address on the GPS before driving off.
"Hmm.. How long would you like for me to stay?", he asked nonchalantly as she chuckled.
"As long as I'm here if you ask me", she grinned at him as he laughed.
"Do you really think that's possible?", he laughed as she looked away feeling embarrassed at her desperation.
"Well.. Its not crime to dream isn't it?", she sighed as he looked at her before focusing on the road again.
"No its not, Megumi. Not a crime at all. I'm glad you're being honest", he said smiling at her. "If I stay here longer then what would I do when you work?", he asked her as she shrugged.
"Will you promise to make love to me every day? Any time I want and any place?", he grinned as she blushed and hit his arm making him winced before he laughed.
"Stop joking around like that. Its not funny!", she snapped at him as he shook his head in disbelief.
"Would you?", he asked again as she shook her head in disbelief.
"Don't give me false hope. I might just agree to it just so you stay a bit longer. So be honest.. How long are you planning to spend time with your wife?", she asked him as he stop his car at the dorm's parking lot.
"I guess it depends on your answer. If my reward is good of course I wanted to stay longer", he grinned as he step out of the car avoiding Miki's reach as she tried to pinch him.
"So what's the term for your dorm like? Do you just pay per term? Or by month? How does it work?", Ryouji asked as they entered the building.
She chuckled as she look at him. "Trust you to think about work. I paid per term and as this term just finished". She said as he chuckled.
"Have you pay the next term yet?", he asked as she shook her head.
"I'm thinking of sharing a house with some other colleague nearby to the office. This dorm can get a bit too loud at times with all the partying and people coming and going as they please", she sighed as Ryouji nodded.
"Oh well.. Good thing you haven't pay then. Let's just pack up everything shall we? I had a long term rates at the Park Plaza and its not that far from your office either", he said as Miki entered the room before closing it behind them.
"Park Plaza? Are you crazy? There goes all my earnings just so I can live close by", she shook her head in disbelief as Ryouji laughed before grabbing her hand and lifted her ring finger.
"Remember this? We're married honey! What's mine is yours and what gives you the idea that I'm letting you pay for it?", he said as he laughed again at her expression. "Remember me?.. Your husband?", he shook his head in disbelief before putting her hand down again as he walked towards her wardrobe and started throwing everything on the luggage there.
"You're not joking are you?", she said finally as he emptied her drawers and throw everything to the luggage. He didn't say anything and just keep throwing everything to the luggage before opening another luggage.
"Is that how you help me pack?", she asked sarcastically.
"As long as its all there, it should be alright isn't it? I don't have all night long to wait for you packing it neatly. Beside you'll unpack them soon anyway", he said as she chuckled before starting to cleared up her desk and putting them in a box she kept when she moved from Hikata's place.
In less than an hour everything was either in the luggage or the box as Ryouji bring them to the car while Miki checked everything left behind.
"This is the last?", he asked her as she handed a box. She nodded as he smiled.
"Finally! Let's go and see your new place", he grinned as she smiled.
"Aren't you tired, Ryouji? When did you arrived? Are you on the same flight as Kitagawa?", she asked as they drove back to Westminster area.
"He was arrived last night", Ryouji said as Miki nodded.
"Is that mean you just arrived today?", she looked at him. He must be tired. But he just smiled.
"Actually.. Do me a favour and put your hands behind your back or better yet.. Sit on it", he said as he chuckled. She raised her eyebrows at him but he didn't take his eyes off the road.
"I was here since early this week." He said as Miki turned her body to faced him.
"Aahh..ahh.. Ahhh.. No abusing your husband!", he warned her as she stared at him making him laughed.
"Its not a time to laugh Ryouji, if you're not driving now I don't know what I would do to you", she said furiously making him laughed even louder as he grabbed her hand but she pushed it away.
"How could you be here since then and not even telling me? I was calling you and actually talking to you. What kind of games are you playing at?", she sounded so mad he decided to just be quiet.
"Have some faith in me to have my reason will you? You did nothing but angry at me ever since you see me, I started to regret coming to see you now", he said making her looked away.
"You turned me into a nagging wife and a controlling bitch", she said making him laugh at her unexpected answer but said nothing as they drove into the hotel entrance before stopping the car.
At the sight of him, few hotel staff went to greeted him as he told the bell boy to bring everything to the studio and handed him the car key to one of them before putting his hand around her waist pulling her inside the hotel.
"Let's just go to our room and talk there ok? You'll be sorry to gave me all this attitude and as always, I'll make you pay for it. You'll see", he said as they entered the lift at a secluded area that's separated from the main lifts at the lobby.
The hotel is very posh and modern looking. She always saw it since its one of the luxury hotel around the area but never had any business going to it.
She stared at the nicely design lift as Ryouji inserted a special card before pressing 15 and noticed its not an ordinary studio rooms. Its actually one of the four penthouse available in the hotel.
The lift opened as Ryouji guided her out before opening one of the room as she gasped out loud at the sight of London Eye through the Living room's window.
"This is not a studio room", she said as Ryouji closed the door.
"Initially I actually booked for one of the suites with private terrace but they offer an upgrade for long term guest to one of the penthouse. So its even better", he grinned as Miki looked around the room.
There's a stairs going upstairs which she assume where the bedroom is. There's even an in-dining area and everything look so modern and posh and they had their own private terrace overlooking the iconic London Eye and its surrounding. Its such a breathtaking view.
"Do you like your new temporary home?", Ryouji asked as Miki smiled as she walked out to the terrace with Ryouji behind her as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Don't you think London Eye reminds you of something?", he asked as she chuckled.
"Goggle V?", she laughed as he joined her.
"We had the choice to have Big Ben and the house of parliament, Oxo Towers and this as a view and I chose this." He said as she turned to face him.
"Good call", she whispered as she kissed him slowly as the wind breezed through them. "That's how its all started, Akama Kenichi", she smiled at him.
"Are you going to apologise now?", he grinned as she rolled her eyes.
"This doesn't make it ok for you to arrived so early and didn't even bother to see me", she said as he laughed.
"Oh but I do see you. You just didn't see me. Beside I was busy with work and some other things that need to be taken care of before I can spend as much time I want with my wife", he said as he pulled her back inside as the sky gets darker with the evening setting in.
"Shall we have dinner here in our new home tonight?", he asked her as she nodded.
"I was planning to take you around London but since you're here much earlier you probably seen it all anyway and beside I don't feel like going anywhere anymore", she said making him smile.
"You have plenty of time to show me around and as of tonight, I don't feel like going anywhere either." He grinned as he passed her a menu.
"Choose what you want. We'll order it to the room", he said as she flipped the pages before looking up to him again.
"But why Kitagawa didn't say anything? In fact he said you sent him here and you stayed back in Japan", she said as Ryouji smiled.
"I told him not to tell you I'm here. I was going to the meeting as promised though but I was... Ahh.. I had something on", he said as the door bell rang.
The bell boy arrived with all her luggage and boxes.
She stared at the menu trying to choose but can't keep her mind from wondering why he didn't just come to her regardless how busy he was.
As soon as the bell boy left she stood up as she walked towards him.
"Just tell me already. What are you up to?", she demanded as he shook his head in disbelief.
"What make you think I'm up to something? I tell you what you want to hear after you answer my question", he said as he went to the sidetable grabbing the chilled champagne provided before popped it open and pour it to the glasses.
"What questions?", she asked as he handed her a glass.
"Are you willing to make love to me everyday, any time, anywhere I want?", he asked as he threw himself on the sofa before looking at her as she take a gulp of her champagne.
"You're unbelievable Ryouji Akagi", she said as she took a deep breath.
"Is that a yes?", he grinned.
"What do you think? Its a very stupid question to begin with", she said as he laugh.
"So you seriously agreeing to it? Anytime? Anywhere?.. The pool? The terrace? The lift too?", he chuckled as she stared at him in horror making him laughed at her priceless expression.
"Have you lost your mind?", she yelled as he laughed before he stood up and put her glass down on the table before he held her close.
"I lost my mind the day I met you. Haven't you realise that yet?", he said as he lowered his head before kissing her softly and before she can help it, she kissed him back passionately as she rested her hand on his chest.
Its not long before she was lost in his kiss as she unbuttoned his shirt and slowly exploring his body that she missed so much and she moaned unconsciously making him stop suddenly before sweeping her off her feet.
He carried her upstairs before putting her down on the bed as he undressed himself while she watched him. She can't take her eyes off him and everything in front of her that she's been missing the last week.
She pulled him close and felt his weight on top of her before kissing him passionately. She really missed him.
"Ryouji..", she sighed as he undressed her and felt his hands against her skin before he kissed her neck gently making his way down. She gasped as she felt his lips reached her body making her arched involuntary at the effect. She held his head close to her as her breathing gets heavier feeling she might loose herself at the rate he's going.
She pulled him up with all her strength stopping him at his track as she rolled on top of him before doing exactly what he just did to her. She kissed him teasingly before kissing his neck and every inch of his body and smiled as she heard him moaning in voluntarily at her touch.
He stroke her hair affectionately as she positioned herself on him and saw him closed his eyes trying to control himself at the pleasure she just gave him making her smile at the sight.
She moved her hips slowly and stopped every time she saw him close to it as she smiled clearly enjoying having him at her mercy.
He held her waist as he tried to control his breathing as he looked at her.
"You're killing me here..having fun punishing me?", he asked as she smiled before lowering her head as she kissed him and pulled away everytime he tried to kissed her back, teasing him.
"I'm enjoying this very much. Just like you enjoying making me wait for you all the while you're here", she whispered before she bit his lip softly smiling in triumph.
Its the last straw for him as he pulled her head closed to him while he kissed her eagerly before he rolled her over putting his weight on her. She let out a chuckled at his reaction before he kissed her again and expertly traced her body with his fingers making her moan before he spread her legs with his hands as she gasped at his touch before wrapping her arms around his neck holding on to him as she lost herself at his touch.
"Ah.. Ryouji.. Stop! I can't breath", she pleaded as he ignored her making her moaned even louder before she closed her mouth as she realised it while he laughed.
"Dare tease me again next time?", he challenge her as she grabbed the sheets around her trying to hold on to it and close her eyes as she truly lost control of herself at his touch.
"Stop it..Ryouji", she said trying hard to control herself as she lose her breath before he turned her around as he take her from behind while he held her close to him.
He grasped her fingers tightly in his as she did the same as they both lost in their own world.

"Do you have to go back? Can't you just stay?", Miki asked as she lay on his chest while tracing his bare skin softly.
He just stared at her as he stroked her hair softly.
"You really want me to?", he asked as she nodded.
"Then I guess I'm staying then", he said making her looked up to him as he laughed.
"You're joking again aren't you?", she accused him as he laughed and pulled her back towards his chest.
"I was here early this week for an enrolment. I decided to do language course for 6 months while you finished your work and study." He said as Miki looked up again.
"Are you serious?", she asked sounded hopeful as he nodded before kissing her briefly.
"Of course I'm serious. Do you seriously think I would let you be apart from me for 6 months? I just had to make sure I take care of my work too so that's why I couldn't come with you when you left and when I got here, I was busied with school orientation and trying to get the best location for our temporary home, the car rental and making sure my office run properly without me there. I'm worried that if anything failed, I had to go back and if you knew I'm here it would only bring disappointment so I waited till I'm sure everything is in place." He said as he traced her face with his hand.
"Everyday ever since I arrived I have been watching you and had to stop myself a couple of times from running towards you. I didn't go for the meeting since I had a class this afternoon. I guess learning language will be good so I won't have to rely on you for translation in the future and as your husband.. Whatever my wife can do, I should do better", he said as Miki laughed before she hugged him.
"So you're staying here? With me? Till the end of this year?", she asked again as he nodded.
"I'm with you wherever you are. I'm your husband after all. Are you happy?", he said as she stared at him.
"You left your business to study some stupid language you could easily learn back in Japan and you're saying you will stay with me for the next 6 months and go back with me when everything is finish here?", she asked as he smiled.
"My business was never everything to me, Megumi. You are. I had the business for you. So if you're not there, its just a business. Yes.. I might lose a few big opportunities but it doesn't matter. And I might have to fly back if something urgent came up but I will be back here again as soon as I can. For the next 6 months, this is our home", he said smiling at her. She couldn't say anything. She's really lost for words.
Over and over, Ryouji has thought of everything and putting her needs on top of everything else.
"When we got back, you and your parents can plan for our wedding according to how you want it to be. I don't really care how its done. Whatever you think best. Just pass me the bill", He said as he saw her misted eyes.
"What now?", he raised his eyebrows at her.
"You always thought of everything for me", she said as he traced his fingers along her bare shoulder making its way down a he smiled.
"I told you I will look after you, didn't I? You just have to get used to it and trust me more", he said as he kissed her again while his hand roamed her body as she closed her eyes before she opened them again.
"One more thing.. We'll go around europe for our honeymoon when we have the chance so get ready for 'everyday, any time, any place' Megumi", he winked at her as she laughed.
"I'm all yours", she said as they both smiled at each other before gazing out the window at the breath taking view.
"Ryouji, you're making all my dreams come true." She said as he kissed her bare shoulder from behind.
"I love you Megumi", he said softly making her turned to face him before looking into his loving eyes.
"I love you Ryouji. Thank you for everything", she said before she kissed him slowly as he sat her on his lap.
"The pleasure is all mine", he said as they both lost in their own passion once again.
THE END

notes and other info:
Notes and facts:
Ryouji Akagi quit entertainment industry 2 years after Goggle V
Megumi Ogawa quit entertainment industry after her scandal posing nude/topless and involvement in soft core porn leaked, 2 years after Goggle V
Ryouji Akagi worked for financial service industry before having his own business in real estate industry by the time he's 28 years old (3-4 years after Goggle V)and ruling the Kanto region and until today still doing that.
Megumi Ogawa went to study overseas in England and refused all interview and avoiding public appearance but agreed to record 'Hanasaku Goggle Pink' track for Sentai Heroine CD specials and also narrator for the Heroine sentai reunion although she didn't make an appearance at the reunion back in 90s.
Ever since there's no news on Ryouji Akagi and Megumi Ogawa's activities and whereabout.
In 2007, Toei release Goggle V DVD version and again Megumi Ogawa rejecting interview and involvement to appear in public as well as Ryouji Akagi.
They both has been very carefull in avoiding the public and thus makes it very hard to find any info on them as they tend to stay low from media attention and the fact they both no longer active in entertainment industry it makes it harder to have any coverage on them.
Megumi's past work especially her photograph and softcore movies are rare. A lot of forum discuss it but no one seemed able to actually see it or get their hands on them. Few had a poster of Megumi Ogawa in nude but it turned out to be Megumi Ogawa the porn actress.
Nikkatsu Roman stories.. Apparently it seemed quite common back then for most of the actress and singer to do Gravure works and Megumi Ogawa must be one of them who were forced to do a bit more.
Dyna Pink, a tokusatsu heroine after her that were rumoured to be dating Haruta Junichi (but not.. She actually married Dyna Yellow in reality) also did gravure works as well as Chiemi Kai and Mazurka (mayumi yoshida). There's also another heroine sentai who did gravure works only to quit entertainment industry too since her parents angry at her for doing that. So Megumi Ogawa wasn't the only one after all. The only differences are their works still traceable and can be found on googles and regret it as much as they all want (famous singer such Seiko Matsuda, Zard also did that before they went famous), their past is available and exist for the public to remember and see.
Where with Megumi Ogawa, nothing can be found despite the rumours and the scandal that prompted her to quit the industry. So its just makes it a bit more interesting as to how and why :) and in this make believe story.. Ryouji is the reason behind it. Covering her every past mistakes :)
Rumour has it, she married by the time she's 28 (8 years after Goggle V) :)
Who's the lucky guy? Here's the interesting part.
1st theory:
Some said she married her old childhood friend, a karate dojo instructor and moved permanently to England
2nd theory:
Some said she moved back to Tokyo and had a recycled shop somewhere but the point is, she's in Japan and not overseas like other tends to believe.
So, its up to you to decide if she's marrying Hikata or Ryouji.
If you choose Hikata, the story should end at chapter 52. :)
And if you're a Ryouji's fan.. This is how the story goes .. :)
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it! ^^
