I Sing For You
By Seishinseii
Seishinseii: Sorry this chapter took so long, but I had no song for it so I had to make one up. And plus I had serious friend issues (I even had to see the social worker, although they saw her about me too) and now I'm friends with most of 'em.
To the reviewers: Android K: Yeah, I kinda stole the idea from that episode. I thought it'd be nice to build upon her career, is all. ^.^
Drazen Flames: Nah, not my song. It was Nikki Webster's. you've probably never heard of her but she's an Australian singer or whatever.
Vnomi: DUH there's gonna be romance! I can't live without it, ya know!
Everyone else who gave nice comments: Arigato! This is the next chapter, btw so feel free to read it! Lol I'm such a freak! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 2: There's nothing.
"Uhh, Kiara? Do you actually know where we're going?" Keitaro asked the youth uncertainly. They were both still speaking in Japanese; Kiara didn't think he'd be able to understand her if, well because she talked so fast.
"Sure I do!" Kiara faked being offended. "But then again."
"KIARA!!! YOU LITTLE---" Keitaro stopped because he saw everyone in the airport staring at him. He turned back to Kiara to find an impish grin upon her dark face.
"Of course I know where we're going! Follow me, Mr. Keitaro!" Keitaro sighed and followed Kiara out of the airport into the bright sunlight. Cars drove in and out of the busy place; a few cars were parked outside.
'Wow, it's not too different from Japan. yet.' Keitaro thought warily. By the look on Kiara's face he could tell she was happy to be home, but Keitaro felt quite uneasy being in a new place. On top of the fact he was pining away for Naru, he had no idea where to go now.
"Umm, Kiara?" Keitaro asked as they walked to the bus stop.
"Mmm?" She questioned as the bus pulled up.
"Is there anywhere I could stay around here?"
"Uhhh, well. you kinda have to come with me now." she trailed off, giving Keitaro a nervous smile. Keitaro sighed and leant his head on the back of the seat.
"Why, Kiara?" His voice showed he was worn out; numerous hours on numerous planes with Kiara had been harder than he thought. She couldn't be quiet or still for a second, and that really got Keitaro wondering what he'd got himself into.
"Well, this bus only goes to my town and back, so. unless you wanted to---" She noticed the frown on Keitaro's face, so she shut up.
"Is there a hotel or something in your town?"
"Yeah. lots of tourists come every year because of our beach. There's a really nice motel thingy near the beach, you could stay there. and because you came from Japan it'll be really cheap." [Seishinseii: I don't understand currency, okay! I'm just guessing about this!] Kiara spoke quietly; she had guessed rightly that Keitaro had a throbbing headache.
"Great. And Kiara?" Keitaro looked down at her to find a hopeful gleam in her sapphire eyes. "Thankyou." Kiara gave him a gentle smile before giving him a great big bear hug and mumbling something into his shirt.
"No, thankyou, Keitaro, thankyou." A tear ran down Kiara's cheek and she quickly wiped it away, not wanting Keitaro to feel it.
~*~ Naru ~*~
"Kitsune, do you think Keitaro is all right?" Naru asked her elder best friend. "I mean, it's not that I'm worried, it's just that if he dies or something then we won't have a kanrinin." Naru tried a smile, but Kitsune saw through that easily.
"Right. But of course Keitaro's all right, Naru. He's survived living with you for so long, hasn't he?" Kitsune grinned and Naru scowled. "He's probably found himself some kind of hooker, and taken her to--" Kitsune was cut off by Naru.
"Shut up!" Her face was red and she had a bead of sweat running down her face. Dropping her voice to a whisper she replied, "Okay, okay. So I do like Keitaro. But what does that have to do with anything?"
The look on Kitsune's face was classic. "Ha. I knew it, Naru!" The elder girl glomped her best friend. "I'm so happy for you!" 'If only I could tell. nah, it's pointless to even think of it.' Naru shook Kitsune off herself and sat down at her table.
"Anyway! What are we going to do about my new single, Kitsune? And I still need to finish recording the album!"
"Relax, Naru!" Kitsune said, sitting alongside Naru. "We'll get it done! Or rather, you'll get it done, and get famous all around the world and make lots of money and have fans swooning over your very voice and then you'll get married to one of them." Kitsune stopped at the look on Naru's face and coughed lightly.
"Come and bathe with me! I know you love the hot springs, and you look like you need a little relaxing." Kitsune grabbed Naru by the arm and forced her into the hot spring.
~~~***~~***~~~
'Haha, this would about be the time that Keitaro walks in and I punch him and he. Oh shit! Why do I have to be so mean to him? No wonder he thinks I hate him. I wonder what he sees in me. If I'm so bitchy to him. I wonder if that's why he ran so fast. 'Cause he thought I was gonna hit him. Maybe I'm the reason that he hasn't let us know about anything.' The sound of Kitsune's voice singing softly from the other side of the hot spring lost Naru's train of thought.
"Ohhh Mm mm
There's nothing I can't do There's no one I can't see There's just one thing that I want...
For you to love me!!" Kitsune stopped when she saw Naru looking at her with a smile on her face.
"Maybe you should sing with me, huh?" Naru asked smiling, but being serious all the same.
"Nah, that's not for me. I get more money being your manager." Kitsune chuckled lightly.
"Well, it's nice of you to promote my next new single, but could you do it on the television where more people will notice you? Your boobs could get anyone's attention."
"Naru!"
"What? It's true." Naru smiled impishly at Kitsune and got out of the hot spring.
'As much as I love to soak, it's just not the same. without Keitaro walking in on us.' Naru walked into her room and got dressed. 'About now he'd pop up asking some question of me.' Naru sighed. 'I'm stronger than this! I don't ever think like this, especially about Keitaro at that!' The frustrated girl ran her hands through her hair and fell to the floor. Putting her head in her hands, she started to cry. Naru did not stop crying until the knock on her door.
~*~Keitaro~*~
"Here it is. My home." Kiara proudly stated. Keitaro and herself were standing outside a large 3-story house, and Keitaro could see why she was so proud of it.
"I guess you're pretty rich then, huh?" He asked, awestruck.
"Yah, you could say that." She opened one of the front doors and stepped inside. "I own a resort down the road. so I make a lot of extra money."
"You own it?" Keitaro was confused, and then captivated by the inside of Kiara's mansion.
"Errr, I mean we." Kiara trailed off nervously, and thanked the Gods that Keitaro didn't answer. Instead he nodded his head slowly, openly staring at the magnificent paintings and statues.
"Uhhh, where's your parents?" Keitaro asked, turning to face Kiara.
"Ummm." Kiara blushed. "They're probably still at. work. Yeah, work. Hey you know what would be really fun?" Keitaro raised an eyebrow at the youth.
"What if you stayed here instead of staying at one of the scummy hotels? There's more than enough room, and I could use some company while my parents are at work. I can show you around town and get you acquainted and stuff, my parents won't mind if you stay, I promise!"
Keitaro paused to think about it. "Well, if you're sure they won't mind."
'I need to save money, maybe she'll let me stay cheaper.'
"Right! Bring your stuff right upstairs!" She bubbled with excitement. Kiara grabbed her own stuff and led Keitaro up two flights of stairs before stopping in front of a wide gold-plated door.
"That's your room! My room's right next door, see?" She pointed to another door about the same size as the one the pair were standing in front of. "Go on, dump your stuff and meet me in my room! I want your advice on something! Oh, and don't worry! I'll show you around after dinner!" Kiara shot Keitaro a great big grin and skipped into her room.
'Well, I'd better get used to this.' Keitaro pushed open the door and gasped in surprise. There was a large window across from the door, and a four-poster bed on the right side of the window. On the left side there was a walk-in wardrobe, and an ensuite, that had a shower and a basin. The carpet was a dark blue colour, and the curtains were the same colour. Keitaro walked in slowly and put his stuff on his bed, and walked out at exactly the same speed.
"Now, which door did Kiara say it was?" Keitaro walked down the hall, away from the staircase. He knocked on the first door he found, and there was no answer. He turned to walk away to the next door, but then Kiara swung open her door.
"Where are you going?" Keitaro couldn't answer as long as she was looking at him in that way.
"Uhh, I. Umm."
"Right, I get it. You didn't listen to me properly before and you were wondering which door was mine. Hey, if you had have listened before I said that my door was the one with the nameplate. See?" She pointed up to the silver nameplate on her door.
"Come in!!!" she exclaimed, moving to push him inside. Her bedroom was the same as his, except instead of everything being a shade of blue it was all shades of green, her favourite colour.
"I was wondering. where's the best place to look for Japanese music on the 'net?" She asked Keitaro in careful English.
"Where's your computer?" He asked back, in Japanese.
"Right here!" She said, pulling out a laptop from under her bed. "And I think we should start speaking in English now, if we can."
"Sure." Keitaro said, watching Kiara switch on her laptop and connect to the Internet.
"There's this ow website." He said, walking over to her bed, sitting down and staring at the keyboard like a stunned mullet.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"The letters are weird."
"Oh, well just tell me what site you want and I'll type it in. Is that easier?"
"No, I can do it." Keitaro had his determined face on, and Kiara wasn't about to argue.
After Keitaro typing in the wrong site a few times, (he got a porn site, a counselling site and Ebay) he finally got what he wanted~ The Japanese top 40. [Seishinseii: If there even is one! I don't know!]
"You should be able to find the most recent music hits here, and you can download them by pushing the. down.load. button." Keitaro had seen Naru's new single, 'There's Nothing,' in the second place of the top 40, and was flabbergasted. 'I thought she didn't like the publicity.?' He thought to himself.
"Let's download this one, Kiara. okay?"
"Uh, okay." She said, clicking the download button.
43 minutes later, the song was downloaded.
"Let's play it!" Kiara bubbled.
"Yeah, let's do that." Kiara pushed the play button and the song began.
"In my dreams. I see you In my dreams. I touch you In my dreams. You are mine In my dreams.
Everyday When I see you I wonder if You're real.
You are mine. Can I be yours? To touch the sky I love you
Ohhh Mm mm
There's nothing I can't do There's no one I can't see There's just one thing that I want... For you to love me!
There's nothing I can't do There's no one I can't see There's just one thing that I want... For... you... to... love... me!
Every night When I dream You taunt me and I say
I need you Do you need me? I want you now I love you
Oooh [I love you]
There's nothing I can't do There's no one I can't see There's just one thing that I want... For you to love me!
There's nothing I can't do There's no one I can't see There's just one thing that I want... For... you... to... love... me!
There's nothing... Nothing to stop me now... I can't wait For the moment You return... To me...
Uh huh!
There's nothing I can't do There's no one I can't see There's just one thing that I want... For you to love me!
There's nothing I can't do There's no one I can't see There's just one thing that I want... For... you... to... love... me!
For... you... to... love... me!"
"Woah. I never knew she could sing like that." Keitaro muttered, slipping back into Japanese unintentionally.
"What? Naru Narusegawa is apparently the latest craze at the moment. it says here she cam from a place named HinataSou, an all-girls dormitory. She even writes her own songs, did you know? Do you. know her?" Kiara asked, putting two and two together.
".Yeah. She's the love of my life, and she's interested in someone else." Keitaro's face fell with the thought. Kiara was deep in thought by this time. What did he mean interested in someone else? Her bio said her heart belonged to one who left her after confessing.
'I get it! I'm not going to tell him about her, I'll let him figure it out on his own!' Kiara snickered.
"Keitaro.?"
