*************************
Just being with that person is happy enough.
Especially because that person is you.
That's why I fell so hard on you and can't escape.
When I see myself like that I get so angry.
Even if I throw my anger on you.
Understand that its not my truth.
I'm just having a fit because I'm afraid I might get tossed away by you.
*******************************************************************
It was a lovely morning. The sun was shining high above the sky and a soft breeze going around the air. Rei was going through the side door as she usually did but her steps slowed down as she heard voices with dislikeable words.
"Look, is that the girl?"
"Yeah, the new stylist who's been hanging with Tasuki so much?"
"Who does she think she is?
"I also get in the same car with Tasuki! I bet she's trying seduce him!"
Rei gripped her hands into a fist and turned her heels and started to walk towards the teenage girls looking very confident.
"Want to try saying that in my face? I'm sure it'll have more meaning to say it front of my face?"
The girls looked at Rei shock and a sarcastic smirk crept up to Rei's face as she glared coldly at the girls.
"Listen I'm Mysterious's stylist for one year and like it or not I will be sending a lot of time with them. Including your precious Tasuki Kou. Also when did riding a car with some mean that a person was trying to seduce someone? Get your facts correct and trust me next time you have a problem with me come and say it in my face!" Rei turned her heels and started to walk away when a familiar voice call to her.
"Rei Hino!!"
Rei didn't have to turn her back to see the owner of the voice. She knew who it was. It was the precious Tasuki Kou that the fans wanted to protect from other girls. She stood still until Tasuki reached her and glared at him coldly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you first thing in the morning?" He asked scratching his head. Rei moved her eyes to the side and saw the girls looking at her, they looked more furious.
"Urgh! She must have cast a spell on him or something!"
"Why don't we go see the president of the FY Entertainment and ask them to change the stylist?"
"Yeah! I just can't see her with Tasuki and more over hanging with the other members!"
Those girls spoke very loud. As if they were daring Rei to come up to them and slap them in the face or something. Tasuki of course heard it and looked down at Rei sympathetically.
"Rei, I'm sorry..."
Without waiting to hear the rest of Tasuki's apology Rei stormed away with Tasuki chasing after her. He caught her wrist and tightened his grip so she wouldn't escape and dragged her forcefully to an empty room.
"What! Now what do you want! Want to get me fired or something, Mister Tasuki Kou." She snapped at him sharply and placing venom in his name. Tasuki looked slightly hurt and looked down at the floor not able to look at Rei straight in the eye.
"I'm really sorry Rei. I guess I shouldn't have forced you into my car yesterday and made you wonder off with me. I didn't..." Before Tasuki could finish the rest of his apology Rei cut him off place.
"What? Didn't think? Exactly!! You didn't think Mister Tasuki Kou! You celebrities really are dunce when it comes to what fans think!! Dunce when it comes to how scandals are created!! Every action even a little action could go off and ruin people! People you work with! For example, me!!! You don't understand even for a joke you say something kind or show a kind action towards people like me, you could go off and ruin them!"
Tasuki remained silent he didn't how he should reply to her. He knew that if a scandal was created, nothing bad will happen to him but to Rei, it could end her career, which was just beginning. Rei let out a sarcastic laugh and looked at Tasuki coldly.
"But it's a good thing that you and I aren't really dating. Thanks to that reason I could stand and say something. However if I didn't have that I really ruined. I would have to disappear right from your fans and I wouldn't have any right to say something. "
Leaving that as her last words Rei left the room. Tasuki could do nothing but watch Rei leave the room.
It was true that he did forget. He forgot about the fans that were so possessive of him. He didn't think that Rei would get hurt because of him. He caused pain in Rei. Thanks to that pain she was going to be further to reach. For the first time Tasuki saw pain in Rei's violet eyes, for the first time her eyes didn't have the fire in them, and he felt pain in his heart. He hated his actions yesterday. Who was he to cause pain in Rei. What was so great about him? What was so great about Mysterious's Tasuki Kou.
However, he could forget it. He could forget the fact that he was Mysterious's Tasuki Kou. Rei Hino...Rei Hino who was so feisty and sharp was precious to him enough, to make him throw away his image of Mysterious's Tasuki Kou. That was how important she was coming towards him as. For Rei Hino he could throw away the title he wore for six years if she allowed him to have her as his most precious person.
Mysterious's Tasuki Kou, Tasuki Kou as how Rei Hino saw him as, and the normal and ordinary Tasuki Kou was in love with Rei Hino...
Rei sat on the empty staircase solemnly. She was feeling very gloomy and was thankful that this incident wasn't made into a scandal...yet. She didn't regret the fact that she threw her anger all on Tasuki. She felt as if he deserved it after all those were his fans. She felt like crying but she didn't. She wasn't weak and she wasn't so darn emotional as well. It was just so frustrating. Then again this is entertainment business.
"Are you okay?" asked a smooth cool voice coming from right behind her. Rei turned around and her calm violet eyes clashed with cold blue eyes. The tall handsome blond hair guy sat himself next to Rei and Rei just glared at him.
"What do you want?"
Nakago just looked at Rei and gave a small smile.
"You shouldn't be alone at times like these." He answered and Rei let out a sarcastic laugh.
"Oh, so Mister Nakago Gi you are going to keep me company. Look I had it enough from Tasuki I don't need one from you." She got up and was turning her heels to walk down the steps when she felt him grab her hand.
"Look Rei, I understand that you're frustrated by you got to understand. Sit, let's talk and if you want we could make fun of Tasuki." He said offering her a comfortable smile and let her hand go allowing her to make a choice. Rei sat back down and a frown was on her face as she looked up at Nakago.
"Since when were we on a first name basis?"
"Well, I don't think we could handle a year by just going by Mister No Manner Snob and Miss Fire Who Happens To Wear a Rip Stocking, can we?" He offered her a teasing smile and Rei couldn't help but smile a bit.
"All right, Nakago. But hear me out before my one year is up I will make you into a human." Rei said and Nakago raised an eyebrow at her as if she said the most unbelievable thing ever.
"That's more for Tasuki don't you think?" At the mention of the guy's name Rei's face dropped down and Nakago couldn't believe himself for doing something so stupid.
"I think I better watch my actions with Mister Tasuki Kou." She said in a serious tone and Nakago decided he'll have to make her feel more ease with the subject, to try to make sure she didn't see Tasuki as a bad guy. After all Tasuki is his team member and his friend.
"Don't be too mad at Tasuki. Its not his fault the fans are a bit possessive of him."
"Perhaps but he should watch actions with women. Can't he stop being such a playboy!"
"I don't think Tasuki's actions are a bit different with you then with other women. From what I see perhaps it has a deeper meaning."
Rei huffed at Nakago's suggestion and decided she didn't feel like discussing this topic anymore. After all she decided what she was going to do. She was going to watch her actions.
"Honestly though Nakago, I think the biggest player is sitting right next to me." She said sneaking a glance from Nakago who looked horrified.
"ME!! A PLAYER!!"
Rei chuckled at his reaction she probably expected any reaction but this. Nakago Gi's cool and calm image came tumbling down at the word that he was a bigger player then Tasuki.
"Who did you think I was talking about? The King of England?"
Nakago's face turned red which Rei never thought was possible for someone like him to lose his cool.
"BELIEVE ME REI HINO!! I AM NOT A PLAYER OR A PLAYBOY FOR THAT MATTER!! THE WORD PLAYER FITS TASUKI MORE AND I RESENT BEING CALLED A PLAYER!!"
"More like you represent it." She muttered under her breath but loud enough for Nakago to hear. The two continued on with Rei laughing at Nakago's reaction.
Why didn't he know then that this girl made his heart jump?
Why didn't he know then that this girl made him feel different from everyone else?
Why didn't he know then that this was the girl he would lose his heart to?
If he knew then would he have embraced the fact or pushed it away?
He would never know what he would have done if he'd known...
Because.
Back then Nakago Gi didn't know this.
****************
Don't worry about anything...
I'll protect you...
****************
Everyone sat in the office around the round table, of course there were a couple people missing. While Rei and Nakago were nowhere to be seen, Ami went out to search for the two. Everyone was serious about the problem that rising with the fans.
"This is stupid! We are stylists! We don't deserve to be treated this way!!" Serena was yelling in fury pulling her blond hair.
"What did Mr. Kwna say?" asked Amiboshi looking concern. He couldn't understand why the fans had to be so possessive. It wasn't as if they were planning on leaving them or something.
"He just told us to watch our actions. To be careful on how we are with you guys when the fans are around. Its not like we're going out with you guys or anything. Why do we have to be careful? We came to style not looking for love!" Serena yelled and she raised her head and saw Tasuki holding his head looking angry at himself.
"Its not your fault Tasuki. Don't worry about Rei, she knows that the fans overreact and in time she'll forget what happened."
But Serena's words had no affect on the people in this room. Serena let out a frustrated scream and walked out of the office. Tamahome looked up and followed Serena out and into the lounge. He saw her looking down at the backside of the building where the fans were.
"Are you concern?" he asked and Serena turned back looking slightly confused to what he was saying. If he was asking about Rei wasn't that an obvious answer.
"Concern that this might happen to you? That we get the littlest of friendly the fans might have a fury."
Serena smiled a little and looked down at the crowds of teenagers. She felt angry with them. She and her friends didn't come to steal away their precious Mysterious away from them but to style them.
"No. We never did anything wrong so why should we be concern. I was thought that when you work with people you must be friendly with them but I never realized that in the entertainment business that being friendly could ruin some people."
Serena didn't speak the whole truth. Of course she was afraid. It hasn't been a week since they've been here and look what already happened. She was afraid of course. What if the same thing happened to her? What if these situations got bigger that they would have to leave?
As she spoke Tamahome looked down at his fans. For six years they were in the entertainment business. They didn't know that fans would become so possessive of them. Scandals happened often. Sometimes it would get so serious some people who got the scandal had to leave the entertainment business. Tamahome felt frustrated at his fans for always jumping into conclusions. Why couldn't they understand that they weren't going to leave them? However Tamahome couldn't be angry at his fans. They were what got them so successful. But Tamahome knew the pain in scandals. He got himself a huge one and the one that caused so much pain on people just three years ago.
"We're sorry. If we didn't force Mr. Kwan to have you three as our stylists this wouldn't have happened. You probably would have been assigned to Goddess and none of this would have happened." Said Tamahome looking down at the floor and turning his back to the window.
"No. We could have rejected the favour but we didn't. We wanted to become your stylists so we could create a newer and a better image for Mysterious. We chose this path as Mysterious's stylist."
The two looked at each other and offered tiny smiles of comfort to each other.
"I'll promise you something. I'll promise you that I'll try to protect you girls from these difficult situations."
"You better keep that promise Tamahome."
Tamahome nodded and watched as Serena jump onto the couch, grabbing an apple and munching on it. He wasn't sure if he could keep the promise. He couldn't watch all three girls at the same time trying to protect them from getting hurt. Being a leader was a bigger responsibility. He felt everything that happened could have been avoided if he helped them be more careful. He promised that he wouldn't let these girls face any situations like this again. And...promised that he would protect Serena from getting a scandal like this.
*************************************
Being able to do something for someone is a happy thing.
If say you're going to do something for someone but it turns out you did that for your sakes
That is a very sad thing
***********************
Ami practically wondered everywhere in the building looking for Rei. The members said not to worry about Nakago since he never liked to come to meetings involving scandals and rumors. The blue haired girl decided to call it quits but she couldn't help but worry about Rei. She was tough and strong willed so many people would think that she could handle this by herself. Those people who thought like that didn't know Rei like her. Rei needs someone in situation like this. Rei always needs someone next to her, not because she's not strong enough to stand alone, but because she's a human. Humans need company.
Ami opened the door to the large waiting room outside the office. She looked through the glass door of the office where the meeting was supposed to take place. A lot of people were missing. Rei and Nakago who wasn't here from the beginning and Serena and Tamahome who must've left in the middle of it. Also Chichiri wasn't there as well. Slowly and one by one the people left and only Tasuki and Amiboshi was left. Ami watch the two and left pity for the red haired boy. It was obvious that he blamed himself and even if Ami and everyone told him it wasn't his fault he didn't listen. To be even more truthful Ami couldn't say she didn't blame the older red haired boy even the least bit, because then that would be a lie.
Deciding that there would be no point in going inside the office Ami decided to go out and get some fresh air. Ami slowly looked up and her eyes found the image of Chichiri Ri. The frustrated looking blue haired man looked up and his steps slowed down. They were only two meters away from each other, neither seemed to know which action they should take. Since the run in at the lounge they haven't seen each other.
Ami felt her body stiffening and her mouth went dry as the desert. Hesitantly she took a step forward towards Chichiri. As if waking up from a nightmare Chichiri looked slightly surprised. He quickly changed his path and walked out of the building to wear Ami's destination was suppose to be. Ami stood there slightly hurt by his actions. If she was Rei or Serena or anyone else Chichiri would've probably ran to them and greeted them cheerfully. But she wasn't any of those people. She was Ami Mizuno and sadly for her there's a solid block of ice between herself and Chichiri. Ami doubted if she would ever be able to melt that ice.
She changed her destination and walked into a spare room and took out her CD player. Placing the earphones gently on her ear Ami pushed PLAY and drowned into the music.
"Please calm down! Please don't make things hard for us! There's nothing between Tasuki and Miss Hino so please don't overreact!" Tasuki yelled towards the fan soothingly. The fans that stood in front of the front area of the building slowly calmed themselves down believing this reasonable blue haired man. Chichiri smiled cheerfully towards the fan and said,
"Why don't you all go home now. All of you are teenagers, go home and study."
The fans returned the smile to Chichiri and called out goodbyes to him and cleared out from the front area of the building. Chichiri let out a sigh of relief. As soon as he found himself alone outside he began to wonder. Those words...for who's sakes did he say those words? For Tasuki his group member and friend? Wasn't that the reason he was headed out of the building?
But then again, he saw Ami right before he left the building. Her blue hair hanging gently off her face she looked so peaceful and lovely. He noticed concern in her expression and it didn't take a genius to know that she was worried about her friend. When she saw him the two stared at each other for a while, and finally when she made a step towards him, he walked out of the building. Out to tell his fans, to tell them to calm down and not to worry about anything. But for who's sake did he really say those words for?
Tasuki...or...himself?
Chichiri shook his head and with a small smile he walked back into the building. Silence covered the whole place. Not a single sound...except for someone gently singing. A lovely voice, not the kind of voice singers had but innocent and clean. Curious Chichiri followed the voice and stopped in front of a wooden door. It was one of the spare rooms the building had. Turning the knob Chichiri opened it just enough he could see inside but not get caught.
Ami Mizuno.
Without thinking that anyone was here to see her she was slightly moving to the song, singing gently. Her voice was so calm it gave comfort to just hear it ring in your ears. Such a good feeling. Chichiri closed the door silently shut knowing that if she saw him the comfortable smile she wore would disappear. He knew that whenever he wasn't around, that it was the moment she was the most loveliest of all.
And...knowing that Chichiri's face darkened.

Rei and Nakago who wasn't here from the beginning and Serena and Tamahome who must've left in the middle of it. Also Chichiri wasn't there as well. Slowly and one by one the people left and only Tasuki and Amiboshi was left. Ami watch the two and left pity for the red haired boy. It was obvious that he blamed himself and even if Ami and everyone told him it wasn't his fault he didn't listen. To be even more truthful Ami couldn't say she didn't blame the older red haired boy even the least bit, because then that would be a lie.
Deciding that there would be no point in going inside the office Ami decided to go out and get some fresh air. Ami slowly looked up and her eyes found the image of Chichiri Ri. The frustrated looking blue haired man looked up and his steps slowed down. They were only two meters away from each other, neither seemed to know which action they should take. Since the run in at the lounge they haven't seen each other.
Ami felt her body stiffening and her mouth went dry as the desert. Hesitantly she took a step forward towards Chichiri. As if waking up from a nightmare Chichiri looked slightly surprised. He quickly changed his path and walked out of the building to wear Ami's destination was suppose to be. Ami stood there slightly hurt by his actions. If she was Rei or Serena or anyone else Chichiri would've probably ran to them and greeted them cheerfully. But she wasn't any of those people. She was Ami Mizuno and sadly for her there's a solid block of ice between herself and Chichiri. Ami doubted if she would ever be able to melt that ice.
She changed her destination and walked into a spare room and took out her CD player. Placing the earphones gently on her ear Ami pushed PLAY and drowned into the music.
"Please calm down! Please don't make things hard for us! There's nothing between Tasuki and Miss Hino so please don't overreact!" Tasuki yelled towards the fan soothingly. The fans that stood in front of the front area of the building slowly calmed themselves down believing this reasonable blue haired man. Chichiri smiled cheerfully towards the fan and said,
"Why don't you all go home now. All of you are teenagers, go home and study."
The fans returned the smile to Chichiri and called out goodbyes to him and cleared out from the front area of the building. Chichiri let out a sigh of relief. As soon as he found himself alone outside he began to wonder. Those words...for who's sakes did he say those words? For Tasuki his group member and friend? Wasn't that the reason he was headed out of the building?
But then again, he saw Ami right before he left the building. Her blue hair hanging gently off her face she looked so peaceful and lovely. He noticed concern in her expression and it didn't take a genius to know that she was worried about her friend. When she saw him the two stared at each other for a while, and finally when she made a step towards him, he walked out of the building. Out to tell his fans, to tell them to calm down and not to worry about anything. But for who's sake did he really say those words for?
Tasuki...or...himself?
Chichiri shook his head and with a small smile he walked back into the building. Silence covered the whole place. Not a single sound...except for someone gently singing. A lovely voice, not the kind of voice singers had but innocent and clean. Curious Chichiri followed the voice and stopped in front of a wooden door. It was one of the spare rooms the building had. Turning the knob Chichiri opened it just enough he could see inside but not get caught.
Ami Mizuno.
Without thinking that anyone was here to see her she was slightly moving to the song, singing gently. Her voice was so calm it gave comfort to just hear it ring in your ears. Such a good feeling. Chichiri closed the door silently shut knowing that if she saw him the comfortable smile she wore would disappear. He knew that whenever he wasn't around, that it was the moment she was the most loveliest of all.
And...knowing that Chichiri's face darkened.
