"Wake up!" Eme's voice chimed loudly through the brightly lit home. Mina rolled onto her face and yawned.

"Blind Game again kanari kireteru doll" Shuichi's voice rang out in the recording studio as Hiro leaned back on the wall listening to the voice of his friend

"I suppose everything worked out with Yuki," he said to himself with a smile playing across his lips.

"Ya he looks better than yesterday when he left," Suguru said watching the pink haired vocalist sing the last lines of the song.

"That was great," K said as Shuichi emerged into the room with everyone else.

"So am I right to assume Yuki and you are alright?" Hiro asked watching his friend closely. Shuichi's face split into a huge smile as he nodded excitedly like I a child. Hiro smiled relieved

"good,"

A knock at the door sounded and Sakano ran to answer it. He was surprised to see a blonde girl standing at it with her hands on her hips. She wore baggy black jeans, a white muscle shirt, and fingerless gloves, her hair was brushed over one eye and she wore a long, thick coat. She looked up at Sakano with her gray eyes ones again lined with black. Sakano stepped back and K looked at the girl moving his hand for his gun just in case. Mina stepped inside the room and Hiro's eyes narrowed when he saw her.

Suguru frowned before he spoke. "How did you get in." he began but Mina interrupted him

"Shut up I need to talk to Shuichi," she said simply looking at the singer. Shuichi recognized the girl at once and slowly made his way to the door. She was just a few inches shorter than him; she smiled when he went into the hall with her. She leaned against the wall and looked both ways down the hall. To her left and to her right. When she was sure no one was coming she finally spoke.

"I am Mina, I come from The United States, New York you have met my cousin Eme?" she asked looking up at him

"Yes I have," Shuichi answered.

"Then I have an offer for you," Mina smirked lightly

"You let us perform with you, and I'll help keep Eme from Yuki? Do we have a deal?" Shuichi was silent for a while and carefully thought the proposition over in his head until he finally answered. He placed his arm in front of him gesturing a handshake and Mina took it smiling.

"Deal," he agreed solemnly

"Good, Deal then," Mina smiled "Don't worry I know her best!"

"So what do you do when you perform?" Shuichi asked curiously.

"We do whatever comes to mind, dancing, background singing, instruments, whatever would be best," Mina shrugged

"Really?" Shuichi swallowed hard "That's. umm."

"Shuichi! We are getting old in here!" Hiro called and at the same moment Yuki walked into view seeing Shuichi and Mina.

"Shuichi," Yuki said and walked over to his lover putting an arm around him. Yuki glared down at Mina who was smiling victoriously.

"Hello Uesugi, it's been a while,"

Shuichi felt Yuki stiffen and Mina closed her eyes before she spoke again

"It was nice meeting you Shindou Shuichi, don't forget our deal." and she turned on her heel walking away.
