(Chibi Neko walks in)
CN: Konichi-wa! My name is Chibi Neko! I'm Miyoko's helper, and I'm handling this chapter because Miyoko has been playing her Gamecube for a long time! This happens every time she gets a new game…
(Miyoko is sitting in front of the TV, playing videogames.)
NTM: Must play…Must beat…tricky…boss!
(Chibi Neko sweatdrops)
CN: See what I mean…anyways—
(Tatsuha barges in the room)
Tatsuha: WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS THAT NEKO?
CN: Beg your pardon? Who the heck are you?
Tatsuha: Where's Miyoko? Where is she? I'll make her pay for hurting my Ryuichi!
(Sarai walks in)
Sarai: YOUR Ryuichi? Excuse me, but he's mine!
Tatsuha: EXCUSE ME! Ryu's mine!
Sarai: NO WAY! Ryu likes me!
Tatsuha: Why would Ryuichi like you? You're a tomboy who's got a stupid orange hat!
Sarai: WHAT! NO ONE DISSES MY HAT! IT'S ON!
Tatsuha: BRING IT ON SARAI!
(They begin to fight. Chibi Neko sweatdrops.)
CN: Anyways…Miyoko doesn't own Gravitation, she does own the songs and One Desire…Let's get started…and I'll figure a way to get this to stop.
Track 6- Sugar Love
This is a late breaking story. A shooting took place at the Zepp Tokyo Clubhouse, where singing sensation Ryuichi Sakuma was rushed to the hospital after being shot by Ayashi Shimamura. The concert had to be cut short, and the people's money was returned to them. The only witness to the horrible event was a young teenage girl named Sarai Mitsumoko. Ayashi has been arrested and taken to a mental institution, where she will remain for the rest of her life in solitary confinement. As for Ryuichi's condition…only time will tell…
NG Studio-
"Sarai…Sarai!"
Kiyuri knocked on her door.
"Sarai-chan!" she said. "It's been three days…"
"I'm not coming out!"
"Sarai!"
"No! It's my fault Ryu's in the hospital! Ayashi came for me, and I should be the one in the hospital!"
Kiyuri sat down, sighing.
"It's no use…she'll never come out…"
Inside the room, Sarai clutched Kumagoro, tears falling down her face.
"It's all my fault…It's all my fault…"
She stared at the stuffed bunny's face.
"Ryu…Ryu…"
Knock! Knock!
"Huh? Who's there?"
The door opened, and Tohma walked in.
"Hello Mr. Seguchi…" she said, in a low voice.
Tohma sighed.
"Sarai…I want you to come out of this room…there's something I want to give you…"
"Let me guess, the boot? The pink slip?"
Tohma laughed.
"No…something to cheer you up…"
Sarai stood up.
"Alright…I guess I'll go…"
She walked out with Tohma.
"Sarai-chan!"
Kiyuri glomped her friend, jumping up and down.
"Oh Sarai! I thought you were never coming out! Why are you holding Kumagoro?"
Sarai blushed.
"Ryu said he wanted me to take care of him…so I will…" she said, lowering her head.
"About time you got out of that room…"
Taiko leaned on the wall, her arms folded.
"TAI-TAI!"
Kiyuri let go of Sarai, and glomped Taiko. Sarai half-smiled at her friends.
Still as silly as ever… she thought.
"Come on Sarai! You have to see this!"
They dragged her towards the front door.
"Hey!" she said. "Let me go! What's going on?"
"You'll see!"
In the garage-
"Why do I have to wear the blindfold?" said Sarai.
"Sorry Sarai-chan…Mr. Seguchi said so!"
Taiko smiled to Kiyuri.
"She is going to flip when she sees this!" she said.
"You bet Tai-Tai!"
"C'mon! Let me see you guys!"
She held Kumagoro to her chest.
I wonder what it could be? She thought.
"We're here!"
They removed the blindfold and Sarai gasped.
"No way…"
It was a silver Vespa motor scooter with a cherry blossom on each side. On the seat was a brown helmet with silver trim and goggles.
"SURPRISE!" the two said.
"We happened to tell Mr. Seguchi that you needed a type of transportation…" said Taiko.
"So he pulled some strings and we helped out to get you this!" said Kiyuri.
Sarai began to cry.
"It's beautiful…" she said. "You did this for me?"
The two bandmates nodded. Sarai embraced them both, sobbing happily.
"You guys are really my best friends…" she said. "This is too awesome!"
"Try it out Sarai-chan!"
She walked over to the scooter, put the helmet on, and sat on the seat.
"I can get used to this!"
Sarai smiled and jumped off.
"This really cheers me up you guys! Thanks a lot!"
She ran through the front door.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
She heard constant sobbing coming from upstairs.
"Nani? Who's crying up there?"
She ran upstairs, bumping into Hiroshi and Suguru.
"Ow! Sorry about that Hiro and Suguru!"
They smiled.
"No big deal…" said Hiro. "It's just Shuichi…"
"Shuichi?"
Sarai ran to his room, where Mr. Seguchi and K-san were yelling at Shuichi.
"Get out of this room Mr. Shindou!" screamed the American.
"No!"
"Please Shuichi! You have to get ready for the concert!" said Tohma.
"NO! I won't come out ever again!"
They sighed.
"It's no use…he'll never come out…I guess we'll have to cancel the concert…"
The American took out his gun.
"Give me five minutes and I'll get him out…"
"That will not be necessary Mr. K…"
They left the door, leaving Sarai to wonder why Shuichi won't come out of his room. She tapped on the door.
"Shu? Shuichi? What's the matter?"
A lock opened and Shuichi poked his head out, his eyes puffy and tears down his face.
"Shuichi! Have you been crying?"
He shook his head.
"Just h-have something in my eye…" he said, in between sobs.
Sarai just stared at him.
"Shuichi…you know you're a bad liar…" she said.
He looked around, then grabbed Sarai and pulled her in.
"You promise not to tell anyone?" he said.
She nodded.
"Yeah…so what is it?"
Shuichi started bawling out loud.
"YUKI AND I GOT INTO A BIG FIGHT AND NOW HE HATES ME! HE KICKED ME OUT OF THE APARTMENT AND SAID THAT HE NEVER WANTED TO SEE ME AGAIN!"
Sarai placed an hand tightly on Shuichi's mouth.
"Shhh! You want everyone to know?" she whispered harshly.
Shuichi grabbed Sarai and hugged her tightly, tears down his face.
"I can't sing without Yuki! He's my inspiration!" he said.
Sarai placed her arms around the pink-haired male.
"There There…It's okay…"
She wiped the tears from his eyes, in a sisterly way.
"That Yuki…" she said, clenching her fists. "He should apologize to you!"
Shuichi sighed.
"He never apologizes…"
Sarai let go of Shuichi, and grabbed her helmet.
"Where's Yuki…" she said.
"Last time we talked…he said he was going to the mall to a book signing."
Sarai walked over to the door.
"You stay right here…I'll be back…"
She walked out the door, a look of determination on her face.
"Sarai-chan! There you are!"
Kiyuri stood at the top of the stairs.
"Kiyuri! There you are! I need you to do a favor for me…" said Sarai.
"Yes? What is it?"
"You know that song you've been working on?"
"You mean my song?"
"Yes…if worse comes to worse, I'll need you to take my place and sing it…"
"Me! But-but-but… I'm not a good singer…"
"Please Kiyu! This is important! I have to get Yuki to apologize to Shuichi, or he won't be able to sing!"
Kiyuri sighed.
"But I can't sing AND play the keyboard!"
"Get Fujisaki to help you…"
"NANI!"
"Sorry Kiyu! I have to go!"
Sarai ran downstairs and out the door into the garage. Kiyuri began turning red.
"But…" she said. "I can't get enough courage to talk to Su-Su!"
In the garage--
Sarai walked over to the Vespa, helmet strapped on, clutching the keys.
"Okay…time to test this baby out…"
She sat on the seat, put the keys in the ignition, and placed the goggles on her face. She put Kumagoro in her backpack.
"Here we go!"
She turned the keys, and the engine began to rumble.
"YATTA!"
She drove out of the garage, onto the street.
"I have to get to the mall!" she said, a look of determination on her face.
She started to pick up speed.
Back at NG Records, the studio--
Suguru was playing the keyboard, practicing the song.
"Poor Shu…I hope he'll be ready for the concert…"
Kiyuri stood outside staring at him, blushing deeply.
"I can't do it…I can't ask for his help…But Sarai needs me to sing if she can't make it…You can do this Kiyu…You can ask Su-Su…"
"Oh, hey Kiyuri!"
"Waaah!"
Suguru appeared outside the studio, staring at Kiyuri.
"Uh…Hey Su-Su…" she said, red as a cherry. "Listen…I-I was wondering…If you could…maybe help me uhhh…"
"Help you with what?"
Kiyuri looked into Suguru's face, turning redder and redder.
"Uhhh…"
She dragged Suguru into the studio.
"IneedyoutohelpmebecauseSaraiwenttothemalltogetYukibecauseheandShuichihadabigfightandImighthavetosinginherplacebutIcan'tsingandplaypianoatthesametimesoIwaswonderingifyoucouldmaybeplayforme?"
Suguru laughed at Kiyuri.
"I think I understood that…Sarai went to go get Yuki to make up with Shuichi and you might have to perform in her place. Unfortunately, you can't play the keyboard and sing at the same time, so you're asking me if I could help you by playing the keyboard."
Kiyuri nodded. Suguru smiled, making her blush.
"I'd be happy to help you out…" he said. "Just give me the music…"
Kiyuri smiled, and embraced him.
"Thank you Su-Su!" she said.
Realizing what she did, she let go of him and blushed deep red.
"Sorry…"
He smiled, and took the blushing girl in his arms.
"There's no need to be sorry…" he said. "Kiyu-chan…"
He softly kissed Kiyu on the nose.
"Su-Su…come on we have to practice…"
He nodded.
Tokyo Mall--
Yuki sat at a table, signing his latest book.
"Damnit…" he said, under his breath. "That stupid brat…"
He finished signing the book and gave it to the fangirl.
"Here you go…" He said.
"THANK YOU MR. YUKI!" she said in a loud voice.
She grabbed the book and hugged it close to her chest. She ran away, screaming in joy.
Yuki placed a hand over his face, sighing.
"Damn fangirls…" he said. "I need a break…"
"LOOK OUT!"
A silver scooter crashed into a window, and stopped in front of Yuki.
"Finally, I found you…"
The person removed the helmet, and pink hair fell down.
"You…and me…need to talk…" she said.
Yuki sighed.
"Fine…we'll talk…Sarai." he said.
They walked over to a café, and Yuki ordered a cup of coffee. They sat at the table, Yuki taking sips of the coffee.
"So, why did you have to crash in a window just to talk to me?" he said.
Sarai sighed.
"You have to apologize to Shuichi…he's a wreck and he won't sing…"
Yuki smirked.
"I see…you want me to apologize so your career isn't ruined…You're just using me…"
"No! That's not it!"
"Don't lie…" he said. "I will not apologize to Shuichi…"
"You have to!" she said.
"I don't care…and you have no right to argue with me you little brat…I'm a hell of a lot older than you…
"Shut up!"
She slapped the author hard, tears in her eyes.
"You don't know anything!" she said. "I just want Shu to be happy! He loves you!"
Yuki stared at the girl, rubbing his cheek. Suddenly, he spotted something in her backpack.
"What's this?"
He reached into her backpack and pulled out Kumagoro. He smirked as he held the bunny in his hand.
"Hey!" she yelled. "That's mine!"
"I understand now…You want me to apologize to Shuichi so that you won't feel so guilty about Ryuichi…"
Sarai turned pink.
"You little brat…" he said. "That's pathetic…"
He threw the bunny at her, and stood up.
"You should go back…you just wasted my time and yours…"
Sarai stared at Yuki, fire in her eyes.
"Very well then…" she said, standing up, placing her helmet on. "If you won't come with me…I'll just have to…"
She leaped onto the table and jumped into the air, kicking Yuki in the head, knocking him out.
"I'll just have to kidnap you…"
Back at NG records--
Kiyuri was standing in front of the mirror, wearing her costume.
"Okay Kiyuri…" she said. "You were able to convince Tohma to give you a shot at this…You can do it…"
She walked out, Taiko and Suguru were at the front door, smiling.
"Don't worry…" said Taiko. "We're with you all the way…"
"Yes…" said Suguru. "Don't be afraid…"
Kiyuri smiled.
"Thanks…I just hope Sarai can help Shuichi…we need him…"
They walked outside, where the others were waiting.
"Hey Hiro-Hiro! Hey Shu-Shu!" said Kiyuri.
"Hey Kiyu…" said Hiro. "I finally was able to get Shuichi to come…but he's still in a dreary mood."
Shuichi sighed, staring out towards the sky.
"I don't feel like singing…" he said.
Kiyuri sighed.
"This is ridiculous!" she said. "Oh Sarai! You have to hurry!"
Back on the other side of Tokyo--
Yuki opened his eyes.
"Ow…what hit me? What the?"
He was tied up, riding on the back of the silver scooter.
"The heck?" he said.
"I was wondering when you'll wake up!"
He turned around to see Sarai, wearing her goggles, driving the scooter.
"You! How did you--"
Sarai smiled.
"I may be small, but I'm one awesome kickboxer!"
Yuki growled.
"Why you little brat! Where are you taking me?"
"To Shuichi, you are going to apologize to him whether you like it or not!"
"What makes you so sure I'll apologize…"
"Because I know that you care about Shuichi…"
"What?"
"You know you had a very convincing performance…I was very convinced."
Yuki grumbled.
"Why do you want to help him so much?" he said.
Sarai smiled.
"Because I care about my friends…and Shuichi is my friend…"
Yuki smirked.
"You care about your friends so much that you kidnap someone they care about to apologize to them…You really are a little brat…"
"Yep! I'm really proud of it!"
"Alright…you win…" he said.
"Good!" she said. "Then Let's get there!"
They headed for the Clubhouse.
Zepp Tokyo Clubhouse--
"Are you ready Kiyuri?"
"Yep Tai-Tai!"
"Can you please stop calling me Tai-Tai?"
Kiyuri, Taiko, and Suguru were backstage, getting ready for the performance.
"Good luck you guys!" said Noriko. "I'll be watching! Hiro-kun is waiting for Yuki and Sarai outside!"
Kiyuri nodded.
"Let's do this!"
They ran onstage, to a cheering audience.
"Hello!" said Noriko. "My name is Noriko of Nittle Grasper! Today, we have a special treat for you! One Desire's own Kiyuri Kanemoto has written her own song and will be performing it for the very first time! So, please put your hands together for Kiyuri Kanemoto, being accompanied by Taiko Hidorikawa on guitar and Suguru Fujisaki on keyboard."
The three walked onto the stage.
"Hello!" said Kiyuri. "I'm Kiyuri! This is my first time singing this song, but I hope you like it! Ready guys?"
They nodded.
"Follow my lead! A one, two, three, four!
They began to play the song.
Some say
I'm a little young for my age
Some say
I can be a little silly
But you
Make me feel oh so sweet
I want you and only you
Sweet as candy
You're the only one for me
Be my baby
I want to be yours
Sugar Love
You give me a rush
Whenever you kiss me
I feel like I'm flying
Candy Love
Sweeter than anything else
I just want a love as sweet
As sugar
(Instumental)
Shuichi sat in his dressing room, sighing.
"Yuki…" he said, staring into the mirror.
He laid his head on the table, sobbing.
"You damn brat…"
"Huh?"
He sat up and turned around. There was Yuki, leaning on the doorway. Shuichi began tearing up again.
"Y-Yuki?"
He stood up and stared at him. Yuki walked over to him, and Shuichi fell into his arms, crying heavily.
"Yuki! Oh Yuki! It is you! But I thought…"
Yuki lifted the singer's face and placed his lips to his, pulling him into a hard kiss. When he let go, he stared directly into his eyes.
"You listen you damn brat…" he said. "Remember this…no matter how many time you get on my nerves or piss me off…know this…I will always love you…no matter what you say or do…I will always love you…"
He kissed Shuichi again briefly, and let him go.
"Oh and by the way…you should thank your pink-haired friend…she really does care about you…"
"Huh?"
Yuki left the dressing room.
Take me away
I want to feel you again
Your lips and mine
I want to be yours!
Sugar Love
You give me a rush
Whenever you kiss me
I feel like I'm flying
Candy Love
Sweeter than anything else
I want a love as sweet
A love as sweet
I want a love as sweet
As candy
Kiyuri finished the song, and the audience broke into applause.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
They ran off, happy and excited.
"I did it!" she said. "I sang! And they liked it!"
Taiko smiled.
"You were great…" she said.
Kiyuri suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned around and it was Suguru.
"Su-Su?" she said. "What are you--"
He leaned down and softly kissed Kiyuri on the lips, making her blush.
"You were amazing…" he whispered in her ear.
Kiyuri beamed, bushing bright pink.
Outside the clubhouse, Sarai was enjoying a piece of Pocky.
"Sarai?"
She turned around, and there was Shuichi.
"Oh!" she said. "Hey Shu! What's up?"
He ran to her and hugged her, tears falling down his face.
"Thank you Sarai…Thank you so much…" he said.
Sarai smiled, as he held that embrace.
"Shu…" she said.
Meanwhile in the hospital--
"How is he doctor?"
"He's fine, no fatal injuries…"
"That's good--Hey! Doctor, look!"
"What is it nurse?"
"He just smiled! The paitent is smiling!"
"Heh, heh…looks like he's having a good dream…"
They stood over the bed, as Ryuichi laid there, smiling.
FINALLY! Man! That took long! Oh well! Anyways, thanks to Keia Mizuki, seripa, and Tsuki Mizuno for reviewing. You get giant Gravitation plushies!
(gives plushies)
Next up, One Desire and Bad Luck are preparing to hit the road! Kiyuri and Suguru go on a date! And Tohma goes to see Ryuichi! Plus, preparing for the first worldwide broadcast concert! Will Sarai get the courage to sing?
