******************************************

There's always a good feeling and a bad feeling.

When you get a good feeling from a person the start and the end always has both people feeling good

When you get a bad feeling the start makes both people feel bad and the end there is only slight delight in it.

Yet perhaps the bad feeling has a stronger sense in it.

Perhaps behind the dislike is the feeling of like.

*************************************************************

"Oh look! It's the owner of such precious hands! " yelled Tasuki mocking a fake expression of shock as Rei walked in to the lounge room. Rei sharpened her fiery violet eyes and glared at Tasuki her pure red lips curled into a frown.

"What do you want Mister Monkey Who Thinks He's A Human."

Tasuki tossed his head back and laughed, Rei hated it how this guy made everything she said into a joke. When Tasuki finally calmed himself down he bend down slightly so his eyes and Rei's eyes were right across each other. Rei tried to remain unaffected by the sudden closeness there was between them.

"Do you ever smile?" he asked looking honestly serious. Rei's eyes grew wide, confused at what he was saying. However before she had a chance to reply Tasuki opened his mouth and said,

"I think you'll look cuter if you smile." He stood tall again and turned his back to Rei but then as if remembering something he turned back around wearing a smirk.

"What makes you think I'm a player? I'm not a player...unless you would like to find out for sure by having a personal relationship with me. Is that why you called me a player? Are you interested in me Miss Rei Hino?"

Rei found herself growing angry and she grabbed the nearest thing around her. An ashtray. She raised it over her head threatening to throw it at him but she doubt it would hurt him, he looked as if his head but made of metal and was hollow in the inside.

"You do realize if you aim that at me and it hits me I could sue you. After all I am a celebrity my looks are over 70% at what the public looks at and what the media counts on."

Rei took a deep breath and placed the ashtray down wanting to find some way to wipe that stupid smirk off his stupid face. Rei positioned herself to remain clam and folded her arms.

"I will leave here before I hurt you physically Mister Tasuki Kou." With that for the second time of the day Rei turned her back on the gentleman who seemed to find enjoyment in making her boil.

As Rei left from the other room Tamahome came in his mouth full of chips. He looked at door and looked at Tasuki shaking his head. Obviously he had heard what was going on.

"You should stop teasing her like that. I mean its her first day and she already got caught by you as her target. Poor girl." Said Tamahome and Tasuki shrugged and took a handful of chips himself.

"I'm only doing that because I think she's worth it. I mean like when you gamble if you have a good feeling about the cards you have you bet everything you have. I'm placing everything I had on that girl."

Tamahome clicked his tongue and looked at his red haired friend, he was afraid that the girl named Rei Hino might get hurt. Not just from Tasuki, but from Tasuki's fans and the media. Celebrities aren't meant to have long lasting relationships.

Rei was muttering to herself as she ran out of the room, she was too furious to watch where she was going. Suddenly she crashed into someone, she managed to catch herself before falling down. After getting her balance she looked up to see who she ran into. A tall gentleman with pure blond hair that cover his left deep cold blue eyes was glaring down at her as if waiting for her to say sorry. Normally Rei would snap at him saying something, 'You want a sorry go stand in front of a mirror and hear and see yourself say it!' Of course though she knew it was her fault that they ran into each other.

"I'm sorry about running into you." Said Rei and was slightly hesitant if she should introduce herself then she decided seeing he was a celebrity she would be working with that would be necessary.

"I'm Rei Hino, one of the new stylist here." Rei looked up at him and managed a small smile, her violet eyes clashed with his blue eyes and he gave her a 'so what' look. Rei's smile slowly became weaker and her eyes grew hard and she folded her arms waiting for him to introduce himself.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" asked Rei tired of waiting for the man to introduce himself like she just did. The man just raised an eyebrow that looked like a crippled mountain.

"Don't you know who I am?" he asked as if slightly in shock that someone didn't know who he was. Rei felt her temper rising as she realized he was a spoiled celebrity that expected that his fame was big enough that the whole country should know who he was. Rei decided she would take his pleasure of think he was all that away from him.

"No. I'm afraid I don't know who you are. So tell me, who are you suppose to be?" she asked making sure he heard every word and she took a step towards him. A look of horror stroked the man's face and his mouth slightly opened as if in a state of shock.

"You. Don't. Know. Me?" He asked his jaw muscles tightening and he took a step towards Rei which locked the space between them.

"No." Rei said clearly and a small smirk crept up to her face and amusement was written all over her violet eyes. Rei decided she'll throw one last remark before she left this pride damaged man in peace.

"You know celebrities are human as well. They are expected to learn manners so they don't go around making other people diss their moms for not raising their child properly." With that Rei turned around her mood all so suddenly happy. She started to walk down the hallway with only a couple of people walking around. Behind her she heard the man call out to her,

"Nakago Gi is the name! And Miss Rei Hino...it isn't polite to assume stuff about celebrities just because they don't introduce themselves! After all they did grow up having everyone know their names wherever they went! They slowly lose the ability to say their names! Oh! And Miss Rei Hino! You should go to the washroom! Your shocking has a rip!"

******************************

Will it be okay if I love you...

The loveliest time in my life

The loveliest you

Me...

Who happens to be so selfish...

With such a careless loving way...

Will it be okay if I love you...

***************************

Serena quickly made a sharp left turn running as if she was being chased by a wild pack of dogs.

'This is just like me to mess up on my first day! I mean what kind of a stylist decides to take a nap in the middle of their work period! Thank God that Rei isn't here to yell at me about being so careless!'

The petite blonde hair girl ran, her hair running right behind like a dog's tail. She ran passed people but managed to dodge running into celebrities, after all knock out any of the celebrities she would probably be fired...especially if it was celebrity from FY Entertainment. She quickened her step as she saw the dressing room. She grinned looking almost like the twin of the Grinch Who Stole Christmas...only she didn't have green hair all over her body.

"SORRY I'M LATE!!!!" yelled Serena her loud voice booming everyone in the room. No one would be surprised if any of the people in the dressing room got deaf. Serena quickly ran to the other side of the room where Tamahome Sou was. She was supposed to dress him up for a live talk show he was having by himself. Tamahome let out a sigh of relief he was obviously worried she might've been late. After all hosts hated it when the guests were late.

"Thank goodness you're here. I was about to go live looking like this." He opened his arms on the side in a little pose. He was wearing blue ripped jeans, a torn pair of black sneakers, and a t-shirt that said, 'Kiss Me I'm Beautiful'. Serena didn't know whether she should burst out laughing at that shirt or consider that there was something very freaky about a man wearing a t-shirt that said something like that. Taking a quick peek at her watch she had to dismiss her thought if she wasn't going to give herself and Tamahome a bad name.

She quickly opened the large black clothes cover that held everything Tamahome had to wear. They wanted to keep him simple in this talk show, something like the boy next door type. She quickly tossed the black tank top with a low cut on the chest, navy blue track pants, and a blue Nike hat. Tamahome ran behind the changing curtains. Serena checked her watch and tapped her foot. He was suppose to go live in five minutes and the studio which the talk show took place at the other side of the HPT building. Tamahome quickly out of the curtains and tossed Serena his other clothes.

"Thanks! And wish me luck!!" he cried out with a fresh smile that reminded her how nature looked liked right after a rainfall. Serena stared at the door he ran out. There was something about Tamahome that made her smile more she usually did. She dismissed another thought of hers and quickly ran to the lounge room. The room was practically empty except for some celebrities and their managers talking. She turned the television on to channel 08 and watched as a young man and a young woman both with brown hair greet Tamahome.

She watched the whole half hour talk show admiring how Tamahome was able to make the mood very light and happy. She laughed out so loud that some people in the lounge left thinking she was some sort of a nutcase. As the ending of the talk show came to near they asked Tamahome to sing a song as a closing. He chose to sing Whitney Houston's Greatest Love Of All.

As Serena watched Tamahome sing she felt as if he was stopping time. Freezing time with his angelic voice that God came as a bonus to his great personality and looks. As she continued to watch and listen to Tamahome a smile crept up her face letting out a quiet laugh.

She...just looking at Tamahome...was happy...just looking at Tamahome...she laughed comfortably.

********************

Shyly a step forward

But seeing your shadow I take another step back

Once more I shyly take a step forward

But you see me and turn your back to me

I...

There's just no way for me to go near you

**************************************

Ami was wondering around the FY Entertainment building searching for the group members Mysterious. Rei, Serena, and Ami herself were assigned to the group Mysterious to help them with their come back. Also they asked to the three to be their stylist for everything. So basically Mysterious was the only celebrity they would be taking care of the most and now and then other celebrities.

Ami reached the tenth floor where the large room where they practiced dancing was. She stood in front of door and took a deep breath and opened the door cautiously. Inside the practice room was quiet unlike how it was suppose to be.

"Excuse me."

Ami called out as she stood holding the doorknob unsure if she should walk in without an invitation. She found a little more courage inside her and took a step into the waxed wooden floor.

"Is anyone here?"

Her blue eyes caught someone lying in the middle of the floor.

"Excuse me."

Ami called out hesitantly. She started to walk towards that figure but that person wasn't moving. Like he was dead. Like...he...was...dead...

"Um...pardon me..."

As Ami came closer to him her heart started to beat wildly and it was making a racket on her ears. The closer she came the person didn't show any signs of movement. Like a dead person.

"EXCUSE ME!!!"

Ami thinking that something was wrong ran to that person. The person who was lying down without any movement was Chichiri Ri. He wasn't moving.

"Excuse me...Mister Ri!! Mister Chichiri Ri!!!"

She started to shake him hoping to get some reaction but he didn't make any movement.

"Excuse me!!!"

She started to get nervous. What did she have to do? From where did she have to do something? This was all sudden to her and she was so scared that tears started to travel down her cheeks. But when everyone was getting complicated something broke into her head, a voice.

"I'm dead so want to move your hand off my arms?"

Ami who seemed confused about everything just stared down at Chichiri who was in her arms. However Chichiri didn't open his eyes so it looked like a dead man was talking.

"Aren't you going to let go of my arm?"

As if giving life to a doll, Chichiri slowly opened her eyes and Ami found herself staring at his different colour eyes. He wasn't wearing contact to hide the differences his eyes would normally give. The tears started to flow down hard like a broken dam. She removed her hand from Chichiri's arm and Chichiri stared at that hand for a moment before getting up.

"Why are you crying?"

Ami glared up at Chichiri , this was his other side he didn't show much any people. His face was serious and the cute smile that she usually saw on him on television wasn't there. She was crying because of him and he asked that kind of a question. Somehow Ami found that upsetting.

"I thought...you were...dead..."

"................."

"I was so shock...so scared..."

"You get scared easily. How are you supposed to work with us them?"

Chichiri looked at Ami once more and turned his back and walked to the large window. The bright sun shinning on him made her string her eyes by just looking at him.

"Chichiri we're here! Oh? Miss Ami..."

Amiboshi as she saw Ami called her name, Ami quickly started to wipe her tears away but was caught.

"Why? What happened that you're crying?"

At Amiboshi's word Chichiri turned his head towards their direction was remain near the large window.

"Nothing. Its really nothing at all."

Ami tried to act like it really was nothing but her voice gave her away.

"For what reason did you come up here?" asked Tasuki who wasn't acquainted with Ami but was still concern for the crying girl.

"I have to come up with the makeup concept so...I came to find your skin condition...I don't think I could do it today...next time...I'll come next time. Practice...hard."

Ami quickly covered her mouth as her voice was breaking and quickly ran out the door. Amiboshi and Tasuki turned to look at Chichiri who was continuing to look out the window, not affected by the girl's tears. Amiboshi softly bit his lips in confusion. This wasn't like Chichiri. Or at least the Chichiri they knew.

"What happened?" asked Amiboshi hoping he wasn't out of his place for asking the question. Chichiri remained silent and as Amiboshi decided to let what just happen pass Chichiri opened his mouth.

"She's only a child."

What he meant by that no one knew...what the cheerful they were so used to said meant.
