Chapter Two: Four Years is Not That Long

"Okay! We're gonna start in few minutes!" the director's voice SOUNDED the whole backstage.

"Stage 23 lighting code blue!!" a crew member talked into his walkie-talkie while others were storming to work on the sound system and the broadcasting room.

In the dressing room, a few professional makeup artists were dabbing on some makeup onto the celebrity while another was curling up her hair on the bottom. "Miss Hoshino," one of the costume designers handed her a dress that was long and sleek of the crimson color that brought out her jet black hair.

Soon, the young woman got out of her stool with her makeup done and her hair prepared; and she then got dressed as the raving crowd could be audible in the dressing room. The ramp model was the one everyone waited: then came out and she faced the audience and her eyes were bewildered by the sight of her fans as the bright lights shone on her face which brought out her beautiful complexions as she stood in the spotlight and the stage for her to take her graceful steps.

Every seat was taken.

In the broadcasting area, the crew were zooming in on the young woman, "All right, going LIVE 5.........4.........3.........2.........and rolling!!" the cameras were now fixed onto Aya.

"And now, for this authentic red silky gown, this is just one of Miss Kotobuki's "Aya Hoshino Collection". As you can see, our very famous ramp model carries it with whole dignity," a reporter says in her microphone, in front of the camera.

Aya flashed her serious modeling look, being a fine and respected woman in the ramp modeling industry. Together with her best friend Ran, they become popular in this venture. And those four years that passed by made them stronger. Two years ago when they started--- a mere modeling by Aya finally made the biggest hit.

"Ayaaa-chaaaan!!!" Sayo exclaimed as she pulled out a magazine from the mail box--- Ran's subscription finally arrived. It was named "Tokyo Explicit Magazine" about modeling and some sort of Showbiz stuff.

"Hai?" Aya moved out the kitchen and her long, black silky hair flew gently in the air. "Yes, Sayo-chan?"

Sayo showed her the magazine. "Guess what?"

"Oh, Oneesan's got no time to guess, my cute one,"

"Know the famous Mega-Platinum singer named Uchiha Sasuke?" she began.

"Of course! He is already engaged to the Matinee idol Sakura Haruno, why do you ask?"

"You also know he is really a rare girl admirer, right?"

"Yeah. Sakura Haruno must be some kind of spirited girl."

"But well, he just said he LIKES you! Man, can you believe that? He told the press that your beauty is next to his fiancée!"

"Hell, you're joking."

"No!" she said loudly. "Honest! And the other guy is Complexity's very own lead singer named Yoh Asakura!"

"Nani???"

"Delivery!" a man called from the outside, and Sayo and Aya went out.

"Hai!"

"For the ever pretty Ms. Hoshino. This is from Mr. Yoh Asakura."
He gave her a bouquet of red and pink roses. There was a card on it.

I hope you love it, Yoh. It says. I want to invite you for dinner tonight. I'll come over to fetch you. Catch you later!

"Arigatou," she said as she signs the paper, she couldn't actually believe it!

Ran rummaged at her closet. She wants a perfect dress for Aya's date. Well, she actually knows that the press will be coming.

"And one thing more, Aya-chan." she said as she pulls out a mini Chinese-collared dress. "Kaede Rukawa asks you for a date on Saturday. Tokyo Rakuen, 8 pm."

"Isn't he the basketball player of the national team?" Sayo asked as she jumped at Aya's bed "Ne, oneesan! please ask for his signature!"

"Duh, Sayo!" Ran shouted.

"I'll ask him to come over here so you can talk," she answered sweetly.

"You have lots of suitors. Another is Tsujiai Hiroki and Haru Glory. They are both ramp models too."

"They are all bishounens!" Sayo screamed. "Hey! Give me one!"

"You're too young!" Ran said "You haven't yet graduated senior high and you're acting matured!"

Aya snickered "How about Masato-kun? For once you told us he's your boyfriend."

"Ee!" she cried "he's just my childhood friend!"

Screams are heard outside and the screeching of the wheels of the vans of reporters. [Isn't it too much ofs?] Yoh Asakura came out of his Limo and waved to his fans. He still has this trademark headphones besides the fact that he wears a so-much-formal outfit, and releasing his really handsome face. Aya finally came out and flashes of cameras followed them, giving her a tensed feeling. Yoh guided her to the door and waved his hand again. He got in the car and it moved.

They went to a very quiet place and had their dinner candlelit with music through a violinist. Aya loved their food there, and liked Yoh's kindness. Even his handsomeness, of course. She just appeared to be the luckiest girl in town. When the night is off, Yoh returned her back to Ran's house. She had a very splendid night with him.

Tokyo Showbiz News:

Hotshot band lead singer Yoh Asakura dates Japan's no. 1 model, the beautiful ramp model Aya Hoshino!

Yes folks! It is the well-known gal again! Sorry but Yoh seems to like her! Their date was fantastic and they had it at Tokyo Imperial Place around 8 pm. The two had spent it in a candlelit black tie dinner and with a serenading music. Is this a start of a deeper relationship? Well, That's all!

[For the couple's pictures turn to page 32A.]

"How's it, lucky gal?" Miyu teased. Aya was scavenging clothes in Miyu's boutique.

"Stop it!" she was blushing "And how's business running? And your wedding!"

"Ahh!" Miyu exclaimed "You! Well, I was making it on December, luckily we had to arrange it first. Yamato's gonna have his leave for the preparations!"

Miyu glanced over to a magazine subscription. Her eyes enlarged and they seemed to be afraid.

"Nee, Miyu-chan?" Aya asked "What's the matter?"

"Aah--- nothing, just pamper yourself," she smiled at her and kept the magazine away.

"What's that? Another subscription? You know Ran's magazines, they seemed to be few though it is for a whole year. I tried to tell her that she seems to lack some subscriptions."

"Well, don't mind it," she said "so, you've picked one?"

"Hai." she go the off shoulder cerulean blue gown with slits on its side. "I think Kaede will like this,"

"Soooo… you're also dating that basketball player????" Miyu asked "nee! You're really hot shot gal!"

"He's asking me, Miyu-chan!" Aya cried defensively. "So, how much??"

Afterwards, Aya left the boutique. Miyu stared at the magazine carefully. It tells something about the band of Yuuya, Jirou and… Rei. Miyu worries as much as Ran does, and then she called Miyu.

"Miyu-chan," it was Ran's voice, so soft and serious. "They're coming back, and it's today."

"I know--- Aya some sorta saw this--- but she didn't took a look. What will we tell her? the truth?" Miyu asked.

"I hope it will be that easy," Ran said. "I must make sure that he's staying or else she'll get hurt again."

"Ran-chan…" Miyu said.

"I know. This situation is not really good, ja ne. I need to find a way to communicate to their manager." she said and hung down.

"Moshi moshi… Nee, Mitsu, it's not that easy, you know." Aya, talking through cell phone. "Hai, hai. No, he just said that. U-huh. Matte yo, there's an incoming message. That must be Kumi's. Hai… Hai, so ja!"

She read the message. "Concert?"

She sighed as she lowered the sleeve of her dress. She shopped a lot today. How can she get a taxi? The town's unusually crowded today.

"Okay, you may leave me from here," Rei said.

"Rei-san, are you sure you want to be alone?"

"I know Shibuya enough," he said, excited to get off their manager just for once and to stroll around by himself, as he usually does in his old days.

"Now take the car," the manager insisted. "bring me first to Tokyo TV then I'll let you leave okay? We don't fans to see you just merely walking around,"

"Fine," he grunted. Afterwards, he left and Rei scanned around Shibuya. Malls are taller now, even buildings spouted out from the ground. Then one girl took his attention. Seemingly familiar, he decided to get down the car immediately.

"Could it be… her?" he whispered in him.
