Chapter 4 - Wanted
Notes
- Hope you like this chapter! Sorry it took me so long to write (a week!) Read on
The room was magnificent: the walls were bordered with thin strips of painted gold and tropical looking plants littered the room. Full Moon looked around; she was astounded. Words could not form in her mouth. As for Ooshige, she was beside herself. Her eyes widened and flickered in a child-like manner: she looked as if Santa had come early and given her twice, no, triple the amount of presents. Ooshige suddenly became firm and walked into the changing rooms. A few minutes later, Full Moon and Ooshige came out dressed in white bathrobes. Ooshige walked up to a massage table, and jumped on it. She looked extremely happy.
"Ahaha! And then the guy says 'I have to go', like I won't notice!" said Ooshige half an hour later, who was swaying merrily with the effects of the wine while taking a mud bath. Full Moon was happy to see Ooshige finally enjoying herself. Full Moon sank into the mud bath and sat there thinking about random things; she felt very relaxed. After an hour, they decided to go down to the food area. When they arrived there, Full Moon's eyes widened. They had everything. EVERYTHING! Chocolate éclairs, cheese cake, brownies, fruits, salads, cookies, and various types of breads and cheeses. Full Moon had never seen such a sight (even at her backstage food tables during a concert!). She ran gleefully to the table and began to pick treats, Ooshige at her side.
After another hour of pigging out, they began to collect their stuff and head to the reception area.
"You wait here, I'll go pay for the food and thank the workers," said Ooshige, who looked extremely relaxed. Full Moon sat on the chair. Beside sat a young man who looked about her age and had short, slick black hair and was wearing a red coat. He was nervously fiddling with his glasses.
"Hi there, what's your name?" said Full Moon, smiling.
"I'm Keichiro, and you're Full Moon, I've heard of you," said the boy, looking up at her.
"Yup! So... why are you here? I mean, did you have a nice spa day?" said Full Moon, thinking her first sentence was extremely embarrasing and stupid. Keichiro opened his mouth, the closed it, then opened it again. But before he could, there was a loud crashing noise. The door was kicked open from the outside. There was smoke emitting from the doorway. Before Full Moon could think, Keichiro grabbed her hand and pulled her towards a back room. They jumped into the room, and closed the door, also not forgetting to lock it.
"Wha..?" said Full Moon, who was shocked yet confused.
"There's no time, we have to get to the room with the exit," said Keichiro, who looked panic-stricken. They ran to another door, which swung wildly open when they kicked it.
"Full Moon, those people are after you," said Keichiro, after they got to a room filled with supplies such as towels, creams, and other items.
"But... how do you know? Are they the press or something?" she said jokingly.
"This is no joke, Full Moon. I was sent by a man named Takanoru. He is a jealous man... he's out to get you," said Keichiro is a rushed, low whisper.
"But why? What have I done?" said Full Moon, fear suddenly clogging her airways. Before Keichiro could answer, there was the sound of another door crashing down, closer to where they were.
"YOU! Go that way! You two come with me this way! We have to capture Full Moon!" said a male's voice, which was very harsh and irritated.
"Please, promise me that you'll leave straight away!" said Keichiro, his eyes shining in desperation, "I'll stall them, you escape-" he picked up a large stick with a hook at the end, and pulled an attic door open "-through here".
"But...what about you! What if you get injured? Why are you protecting me!" her eyes shining with fright. Keichiro stopped with his hand on the door knob.
"I'm doing this because..because I like you Full Moon"
