~Love is in the Air~

"Ok, Miss Haruno.........let's start this back to the top," one of the crew members put back on his headphones as Sakura put on hers too.

"Here it is…a rain-soaked afternoon, but I'm walking the streets alone and I thought I want to be with you and I thought I understood before how falling in love would hurt so much," Sakura sang into the microphone while the music was going on in a fast beat.

"I understand, but it still hurts.........even now, when we're apart all I can think of is you, no matter what I may try, I just can't seem to do it all.........but I push myself farther because I want to be more than what I am now," Sakura closed her eyes and sang with emotion but then she stopped when she heard some distant voices in her headphones. The crewmen behind the glass window turned off the music and asked what was wrong.

"There's backup singing in this?" Sakura put down her headphones and looked at the lyrics trying to find out if there was even supposed to be backup singing in her song.

"Look, I know that you don't like it.........but you see, your fans want more from you," the crewman said.

Sakura defiantly retorted back at him, "Well if that's what they want, then I'll try harder.........and not just to have singers to back me up," the men behind the window shook their heads.

"Look, let's just get it going, your album is not due until next month.........and we have lots to do," the man said as he put back the headset onto his head, but Sakura went out of her own stall and came out and went towards the window.

"Excuse me.........but in case you didn't understand what I just said, I do not want any backup singers in any of my songs!" Sakura tried to stick to her point but no one would understand her, "when I sing, I expect to have my own originality and creativity instead of having some other people sing for me!!"

"Miss Haruno, your fans want more than just your voice.........they want a.........a blend," the man replied trying to make Sakura to perceive what he has been saying for the past few minutes.

"Well, for you information sir.........I am not going to cooperate with a bunch of men who are going to put fake voices in my song instead of the original singer by itself," Sakura put down her headset and then started for the door, but one of the other men stopped her.

"Fine! Fine! No backup singers, but we really need hits.........and if you can give us a big hit, then we don't need to put any voices in there," he tried to persuade her, and Sakura let out a sigh and went back to her place.

"All right, everything all set?" the man who persuaded her said to the others and they nodded.

If they want a big hit I'll give it to them, Sakura thought.

Sakura put back her headphones on and began to sing where she left off, "Because I want to grab it and have the ultimate joy! I just can't go on anymore with these feelings I have now because the pain of yesterday has frozen me to this spot," she opened her eyes and saw the satisfied looks on her producers.

"It's like a labyrinth with no way out that I keep wandering 'round but even if there is no way out, I'm gonna tear it down!! There really are no easy victories in this world. If fate turns against you, you just have to stand there and fight it," Sakura continued, "There are times when I'm a coward, and I just want to cry. But instead, I push myself farther because I don't want to feel sad because I know that I will always be the one laughing in the end,"

"All right, that's a wrap everyone," the man with the sound system concluded and everyone got out of their places and went over to the refreshment table outside.

"Hey," Akihiro held Sakura's hand in the limousine as they were heading to ATU190 which is going to have its grand opening. Sakura looked up at her boyfriend and smiled away her troubles, "it's those annoying producers, is it?" Akihiro said as if he read her mind.

Sakura looked at her boyfriend and flushed. He had beautiful and shiny black hair that came down just an inch from his shoulder and his eyes were of mahogany brown while his fair complexion and dimples were the catch of his looks on every magazine; and he was also a head taller than her with his broad shoulders to protect her from any harm and his voice was so calm and filled with sincerity that for him to lie, was just impossible to believe.

"It's all right, I got used to it," she shook the feeling away and sat closer to Akihiro and tried to cherish the moment as they were cruising down the street.

"If they do anything that offends you, I'm a call away," Akihiro leaned and kissed her and held Sakura. The couple were caressing each other and were in each other's arms. When they pulled away Akihiro brushed a strand away from Sakura's face, "you look ravishing," he then planted a long kiss on her cheek.

Soon, the limousine came to a halt and Sakura knew that they had arrived at the Grand Opening of ATU190. The door on their left opened and the couple were blinded by the glares of the cameras coming from reporters and the paparazzi. Akihiro came out first in his brand new tuxedo and then held his hand out to escort his companion down the red carpet.

Out stepped a gorgeous Sakura who was in her long and sleek gown that glittered in the moonlight and the flashing of the cameras. Her hair was let down with some hair clips holding back some of her picturesque pink hair. Sakura accepted Akihiro's hand who then led her down the red carpet.

As the couple walked down the aisle, there were reporters trying to get a word from them but were immediately blocked from security guards while the paparazzi were flashing away.

When they got it in, Sakura was marveled by the exquisite sight of its luxurious accommodations set perfectly in their own spaces. The waiter then led them to a fine table with candles lit in the center with brand new eating utensils all set out for the celebrities. Akihiro seated his girlfriend and then headed over to his seat and held out the menu and started going down the list.

"So, how do you like it here?" Akihiro glanced across from him.

Sakura's emerald eyes shone with delight, "It's beautiful!" she looked around her and observed the other couples who were eating their delicious meals while nearby, some violinists were playing some romantic melodies to fit into their dinners.

Akihiro then reached for Sakura's hand and squeezed it, "I'm glad you like it," his chocolate eyes made Sakura drown in them.

Both of them ordered their meals and when the waiter departed, there was a comfortable silence that crept over them. To steal the moment, Akihiro then broke the silence, "Remember the time when we first met?" his smile showed great appreciation and kindness.

Sakura then gave a soft laugh of acknowledgement, "Yes, I still remember the details to it........." Akihiro gave her another squeeze in the hand.

"Yeah, I accidentally ran into you and we had mistaken each other to be normal people, but then you and I found out that each of us were celebrities. At first, I thought that you worked for your producer because you handed him a donut," Akihiro smiled at the thought.

"And also I mistaken you as a clothing designer because you were wearing the brand names and you were holding some of them on your arm," Sakura blushed slightly and Akihiro caressed her cheek.

"I love you, Sakura," he said.

"I love you, too Akihiro," she smiled and her eyes followed him as he got out of his seat and headed toward her.

Akihiro then bent down on one knee and right there, Sakura let out a gasp and she felt hot tears strolling down her cheek. Nearby, the couples were observing them and some old couples held each other and smiled and dreamed of when they were young.

Bent down, Akihiro looked up and gently held Sakura's hand and gave a warm grin which made Sakura bubble up with happiness inside. "Sakura, I've treasured every moment we've spent together.........and I would like that to last as long as I live," Akihiro then reached to his pocket and held out a small case. Sakura's eyes were shocked with joy and tried to sniff away her tears.

"Akihiro............" she whispered as Akihiro opened the case which revealed a glowing white diamond ring.

Akihiro looked up and with sincerity in his brown eyes, he asked Sakura the question he has been longing to ask her.

"Haruno Sakura, will you please make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?" Akihiro asked.

Tears were streaking down Sakura's cheeks, and with a happy laugh, she nodded and kissed him with some of her wet tears.

"Yes. Mitsuya, Akihiro.........I will marry you," Sakura sniffed back her tears and Akihiro leaned closer and kissed her after he gently slipped the ring onto Sakura's left ring finger.

When the couple kissed, the witnesses clapped and smiled as they congratulated the pair. When the happy couple have finished their superb dinner, they then started for the door.........and Sakura stopped her fiancé.

"Wait," she paused and Akihiro nodded.

"Oh yeah," he held his fiancé's hand and turned the ring so that the rock will be faced down and out of sight so that the ring would look like an ordinary band.

The doors were opened and again, the couple experienced the flashing of the cameras once more. Sakura held Akihiro's hand as they strolled down the red carpet, but their plan to hide the ring didn't work. One reporter then yelled out, "HEY!! WHAT'S THAT BEHIND ON YOUR FINGER???" he blurted out that the two were engaged. When the news spread, there were more shouts coming from everyone and the constant blinking kept on going as the couple hurried into the vehicle to stay away from the mob of fans who were going wild at the news.

By morning, the news was all over Tokyo.
