Celestial Notes: Happy Holidays people! This is the latest installment of The Drummer. This time, I have a dedication. This chappie is dedicated to Noisulli, the only person who cares enough to review my work. Come on people! If you don't like it, say so. GIVE ME FEEDBACK! Okay. I'm done with that, so I'll begin with Yai now. This time, she has a fight with her father about Hiro. Enjoy!() are Yai's thoughts, like always.

Yai woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. Today she and Hiro were going on a date, and she wanted to get going early. He was already up, of course, fixing her a mug of hot chocolate. "Ohayo!" he said, handing her her drink. "Huh?" Yai, not knowing Japanese, did not know what this meant. "Sorry, that means good morning in Japanese." Hiro smiled again. "Okay." Yai went and turned on the TV. "Are you okay? You don't look too happy." He walked over to her and sat down. "Oh, my dad's supposed to call me today, and he won't be happy with me at all." Yai shook her head. "I thought you said your parents were happy that you were going after your dreams." Hiro sat closer to her. "Well, not my dad. He was against me coming here from the start. He told me that I was just fine where I was. Personally, I think it's more than that." Hiro looked at her again. "So, is our date postponed for now?" The drummer shook her head. "No, we can go later, but I need to make sure I talk to…" Yai's cell phone rang. "Here comes the hurricane…" "Hello?" Yai leaned against Hiro. "Yai, are you okay? What's going on? Your mother and I have been very worried about you!" (He sounds so frantic!) "I'm okay." "Do you have a job? You're not living under a bridge, are you?" Yai shook her head. "No, I'm living with a friend of mine. He happens to be the guitarist for Bad Luck, which is the band I'm in." Pause. "HE? YOU'RE LIVING WITH A GUY?" Her father yelled. "Yai, you know how I feel about that!"

Yai jumped away from Hiro;his voice was so loud. "Dad, I don't have enough money for my own place yet, so Hiro invited me to stay with him until I can get a decent place!" "NO! I WANT YOU TO MOVE THE HELL OUT OF THERE RIGHT NOW!" Yai's eyes filled with tears. "So, you would rather see me living in the slums with druggies and hookers, is that it?" Mr. Mizushiro sighed on the line. "Yai, you know, I just don't want to see you get hurt by someone, like you were with Toni." "Daddy, Hiro's not like that. Give him a chance. He's very sweet." Hiro blushed at being called sweet. "Well, damn, Yai . I had no idea. Fine. But you had better not get too comfy. I'll see you later. I love you."

Yai and her father said goodbye, then hung up. "Yai-chan…" Hiro hugged her. "I'm okay. He is a really good dad, but he's very protective of me." "Well, when do you want to go on our date?" Hiro smiled as he said this. Yai sighed. "I don't know… Not today." The auburn haired guitarist smiled. "It's okay. I'm not rushing you or anything. Whenever you want to is fine." Yai ran over and hugged him. "Thanks. I love you." Hiro looked at her. "What?" Yai shuddered. (Oh, crap. Why did I say that? I wasn't thinking. I do love Hiroshi, but I can't tell him that!) "Nothing." Hiro turned and sat down. "I'm going to N-G. Tohma asked if I'd meet with him." She turned to leave. "Hey, Yai?" "What?" Hiro smiled at her. "I love you too."

Celestial Conclusion: Well, as Bart Simpson would say, "Ay, Carumba!" They admit their love for each other. (Or is it infatuation?) And what will happen at the meeting? Sorry if the chapters are too short, and yes, I made paragraphs, so it should be easier to read. I hope that everyone will like this format, because This is how I'm going to do my stories. Also, I still don't know if I'm going to include Yuji or not… I'm still thinking about it. Catch you later! Get bent! (Just kidding.) Thanks for the feedback, Noisulli! Laterz!
