Ch. 3: Kurisumasu kiki ga Hajimaru

The scene shifts at the Naegi house where you can see Naegi wearing his usual attire, and he wondered if Maizono really meant about having taken cared about the wardrobe, and as he is preparing himself, Komaru came in and cuddled with her elder brother, asking if she could come along, but he gently told her that she couldn't, saying that aside from that Maizono and her idol group were invited, it is also a corporate affair, and said he is LUCKY that he was personally invited by her to be given a complimentary invitation.

While Komaru pouted and felt sad, she made a compromise, which Naegi was taken aback at first, which caused a slight negotiation between the two siblings.

"Okay, then how about this?"

"Huh?"

"Bring home some food...pastries included.?"

"Seriously?"

"Uh-huh?"

"..."

"Onii-chan...?"

"Yippe-ka-yay."

Hearing her brother said that, Komaru is happy to hear that her brother will consider her request, in which he promised to take home food such as pasties, beef and chicken, and he sighed in relief seeing that this would keep her from feeling down as he could not bring her along, but he intend to keep his promise to bring home food and he will ask Maizono for assistance later when she meets her at the corporate party.

By now it is 19:00, and Naegi steps out of the house as he is ready to leave, with Komaru about to send him off when a limo came and parked in front of him, surprising the siblings, and the window opened as the driver is revealed and spoke to Naegi directly upon seeing him.

"Yo!"

"Um...yes...?"

"Makoto Naegi...that's you, am I correct?"

"Yes...that is me."

"I'm gonna be the driver...and will escort you to the party."

"Really?"

"That's right! Miss Maizono paid me to escort you there. You sure are LUCKY to be her acquaintance."

"Yeah..."

The limo driver introduces himself as Karudo Raiba, and said he was paid by Maizono to fetch him and drive him towards the corporate building where the party would be held, and Naegi nodded as he boarded the limo and waved Komaru goodbye and she did the same, and soon the vehicle left the scene as Komaru went back inside, and decided to turn on the TV to watch the re-run program of Maizono performing.

-x-

Several minutes later, the scene shifts at the highway where you can see the limousine is traveling and so far traffic is not so heavy, and the road is peaceful and you can see the streets posts are covered in Christmas decorations, and inside the car, Naegi is quite in awe as this was the first time that he has ever rode inside a limo, and yet he is a bit nervous as this would be the first time that he would attend a party of a corporate office where Maizono invited him.

Raiba noticed his passenger via the mirror looking silent, and began to entertain him by engaging in a conversation by asking him if this is his first time attending such a party, which Naegi nodded, and Raiba told Naegi that he is so lucky to be Maizono's friend, and said he is envious of him which Naegi blushed in humbleness, saying that he and Maizono are just friends, not wanting to give away the fact that they are dating in secret, and there Raiba asks Naegi how he met her and how they became friends.

"Well...you see..."

"Uh-huh..."

"..and then..."

"Seriously?"

"...yeah...that's how it happened..."

"You got to be kidding me...!"

"That's the truth..."

"Oh boy...don't know if you were really born with such LUCK..."

Raiba raised his eyebrows when told that Naegi and Maizono met at Blackroot Middle School two years ago and that she approached and befriended after he helped a crane that got stuck at the swimming pool, and Raiba snickered as he finds it quite SUSPICIOUS that Maizono took interest in Naegi just because of that feat, yet he told Naegi that he is fortunate to be friends and acquaintances with a popular model, and even advises him to be careful saying that there ate fanboys who have crushes on her and they might vent their ire on Naegi if they deem him a threat.

Naegi laughed nervously at this and said that he would not go that far and said that he and Maizono are just friends and nothing else, and despite what the boy said, Raiba can tell that there is something going on between the two, yet he holds no animosity towards him knowing that Maizono invited Naegi and he deems him to be a good person based on how he acted, and he changed the subject by saying that he heard that Maizono and her idol group are having a gig at a corporate office, and showed him the building that they are heading at, which surprised Naegi upon seeing the footage from the limo's TV screen.

"Whoa..."

"Pretty rad, don't you think, Naegi?"

"Is that...?"

"Yeah...that's where we are going...and I bet this will be your first time coming here..."

"Yeah...it is."

"Then you better brace yourself. You're about to encounter people who are miles apart from your economic status. I'm even betting they will be surprise to see a guy like you on the guest list."

"Um..."

"And we'll be there in a few minutes from now."

The footage revealed that the building they are heading is identified as the Nekotami Tower, which is a 50-floor tower building, and Naegi have heard of it, but this was the first time to see it and he was told by Raiba that the owner of the building is said to be a billionaire, and he is celebrating the tower's 50th anniversary, and said he heard rumors that the tower's owner, Josefu Takagi, invited the idol band to perform just to entice its visitors and employees to attend, which Naegi was quite surprised to hear that Takagi would go to such lengths just to invite Maizono and her group.

"Seriously?"

"Yup...and though I have seen him a few times, I can tell that Takagi is pretty shrewd."

"He is...?"

"Yup, and if ever you meet him in person, stay sharp. Don't let his polite aura fool you. I bet he has a reason for inviting Maizono and her group."

"Still...he can't be that bad..."

"Are you sure...?"

"Um..."

"Now let me put it this way..."

As the two talked some more, Naegi did not noticed that the and Raiba are nearing Nekotami Tower, and arriving at the basement parking, Raiba told Naegi on where to go, and and he thanked the driver for everything. Naegi gets off the limo and went to the stairs leading to the first floor entrance, and after entering, he went straight to the concierge, where the guard saw Naegi, which he finds the teen boy too ordinary, and began asking him what is his business here, and there Naegi told him the reason, and the concierge sighed and told him where he should go.

"Oh, fine. Go take the elevator and head for the 30th floor...that's where the party is taking place."

"I see. Thanks."

"Yeah, yeah...get going before I kick you out..."

"Eh?"

"Nothing...just get going."

"Oh...okay. Thanks again."

"Whatever."

"..."

As Naegi bowed and thanked the concierge, he went towards the elevator, and the concierge glanced at Naegi, baffled as to why a popular idol like Sayaka Maizono would invite an ordinary boy like Naegi, seeing the boy's attire and wondered what Maizono sees in Naegi, believing that Maizono would be better off with a handsome and popular celebrity than her hanging out with a plain boy like Naegi.

About five minutes later, Naegi arrived at the 30th floor, and upon exiting the elevator, Naegi is taken aback at seeing the decorations of the 30th floor where it shows how lavish the scene is, and he can see a lot of businessmen and businesswomen dressed in tuxedos and gowns, and even other visitors who appeared to be rich and famous, and there they all glanced at Naegi, looking at him from head to toe, and some were vexed at Naegi's usual attire and began whispering among themselves on who has the gall to invite such a plain boy here, not knowing that Maizono was the one who invited him.

"My word...look at that..."

"What a plain-looking boy..."

"Doesn't he know the dress code here?"

"How shameless..."

"Where is the guard? Someone has to throw that brat out of here..."

"Is he a gate-crasher?"

"Who invited him here?"

"Stupid brat..."

By then, Maizono arrived and she kissed his cheek and greeted him, which he greeted her as well, and there she took his hand and led him to a guest room saying that his FORMAL ATTIRE is there so he can change, and he commented that the people are staring at him and seem to be giving him the cold eyes, though she assured to him that they are not bad people and are just surprised to see him as who he is and not as a celebrity-type.

"Maizono-san...they're staring at me..."

"Don't mind them, Naegi-kun..."

"But..."

"They're just surprised to see someone who isn't a celebrity...so don't mind them at all."

"Really?"

"Yes...everything will be fine. I promise."

"Um...okay."

"Good."

By then Josefu Takagi came and he personally spoke to Maizono, thanking her for accepting his invitation to perform here along with her idol group, which she nodded and thanked him for the invitation, saying he should thank her manager for the invitation. Takagi then noticed Naegi and asks him if he is a friend, which she nodded, and he looked at Naegi from head to toe, finding him too ordinary-looking, yet he opted not to dwell onto it as long as he does not cause a disturbance, and he excused himself saying he will attend to the other guests.

After that, Maizono led Naegi to the guest room where his tuxedo is there, and there she hugged him with pure affection, which he smiled and hugged her as well, and she thanked him for accepting her invitation, though he asks her if this is okay, which she nodded, and Naegi shyly asks her if she could help him in securing food for the dinner tonight, reasoning that he promised Komaru that he would bring her home some pastries, which she smiled and said she will help.

"Is that all, Naegi-kun...?"

"Um, yeah..."

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll see to it that I would sneak out some food so you can take them home later."

"Really?"

"No problem."

"Maizono-san...thanks."

"Sure, no problem."

"Maizono-san..."

Naegi smiled and thanked her, and she told him she would have to prepare herself, and she kissed him on the lips as she heads out of the guest room, leaving him blushing. Outside, Maizono is greeted by her four idol members, who were expressing shocked reactions after seeing her kissed Naegi and asks her if Naegi is her boyfriend.

"Sayaka..."

"Did you just kissed that boy on the lips...?"

"Is he your boyfriend?"

"Tell us the truth."

"Yes...Naegi is my boyfriend...but we're dating in secret..."

"What?"

"Seriously?"

"You're dating a plain-looking boy?"

The four idol members gasped when told that she is indeed dating Naegi in secret, and she asks them to keep it a secret, and the four fellow idol members sighed and agreed to it, though they asks her why Naegi of all people saying that she is better off with a handsome celebrity, but when told the reason how she fell in love with Naegi, the four idol members gasped again, staring in disbelief that Maizono's romance with Naegi started with a crane on a swimming pool inside Blackroot Middle School.

"That's it?"

"Love at first sight...because he was helping a crane...?"

"Seriously...?"

"Sayaka...you got such strange tastes in boys..."

"Eh-hee-hee-hee..."

"Whatever..."

"As long as you're happy...I guess its fine with us..."

"Are you sure he is a normal boy?"

Inside the guest room, Naegi sighed after overhearing the conversation, and hoped that Maizono's friends would keep their promise in keeping the relationship a secret, and glanced at the bed where the formal attire clothes are placed, and he took a deep breath as he began to take off his clothes so that he can try them on.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to the streets of Tokyo, where you can see a limousine is driving, and is heading near the Nakatomi Tower, and went to the basement parking, and went to park nearby, and waited for about 15 minutes, in which no one seemed to be around to notice the vehicle's odd silence. The scene then shifts at the lobby area, where the concierge is manning the security desk, failing to notice the limousine that arrived a while ago as he was busy reading a porn magazine.

By then he noticed two persons about to enter the entrance of the tower, noticing that one appeared to short person and resembling a schoolgirl in a school uniform and the other a muscular man, in which he has short black hair, dark eyes, and tan skin. He wears a heavy dark-colored jacket with thick fur trimming around its hood and a red symbol close to his left shoulder. Underneath, he wears a white sweat shirt, as well as black pants and long black boots.

As the two persons entered, they appeared to be bickering saying that they are supposed to meet someone inside the tower, but the schoolgirl lamented that they are late and that the person they wish to see may have left, though the muscular man just remained silent, and the concierge opted to ask them what their business is so as to get this over with.

"Can I help you two?"

"Um...yes...we'd like to ask you something..."

"What is it?"

"Is there a certain Takagi here? I heard that he works here."

"Yeah, there is. Josefu Takagi."

"So...where can we find him...?"

"30th floor...there's a party there...hold on...are you a girl...? You don't look like one."

"Uh-oh..."

After confirming that Takagi is here, the concierge glanced at the schoolgirl, but slowly noticed that the person facially looked like a boy, and he became suspicious, and that is where the muscular man made his move, punching the concierge on the forehead, and the concierge fell to the ground, where you can see, via an x-ray scene, that the force of the blow caused an internal hemorrhage on his brain, and the concierge is slowly dying, and the muscular man, identified as Juzo Sakakura, told his cohort, identified as Chihiro Fujisaki, to contact the Boss, which he did, and he took out his cellphone and Fujisaki contacted the Boss, saying that they can come in.

Fujisaki then began to hack on the security control and turned off the security alarms and CCTV, and this allowed three large vans to enter the basement parking area, and parked next to the limousine, and soon the occupants came out, and the Boss emerged, who is identified as Kyosuke Munakata, and he motions his henchmen to follow him, and the following members are shown and identified:

- Sonosuke Izayoi

- Mondo Ohwada

- Daiya Ohwada

- Kazuichi Soda

- Nekomaru Midai

- Leon Kuwata

- The Impostor

And following them are unnamed armed goons who are carrying high-powered weapons and ammunition, which also includes RPG and anti-tank missiles, and there Munakata asks Fujisaki if he has managed to hack the system, which he said that he succeeded in neutralizing the alarm systems, and Munakata told him to try hacking the building's other security features so that everyone inside the building won't try to call for help.

To Be Continued...

Hope you like the third chapter, as it featured a calm moment before the storm strikes...

Surprise, the villains of this fic are shown, with Kyosuke Munakata being the big bad boss...and Fujisaki also a villain? Well...being a programmer, he also has some hacking abilities, so I guess I could use him to act as a foil to Naegi...while the part is still being peaceful...

Preview:

The next chapter shows that Naegi is about to attend the party...and is going to meet with Maizono as his date...and that is where the story kicks in...as trouble is about to ensue as the UNINVITED GUESTS crashes in...terrorist-style!

See you in 2 to 3 weeks...
