(Chibi Neko appears again)
CN: Chibi Neko again! Neko Tenshi Miyoko is busy trying to break up the fight with Tatsuha and Sarai, so once again, I'm here!
(Loud noises are heard behind her. Tatsuha and Sarai are fighting in giant mechs.)
Tatsuha: You are mine!
Sarai: Bring it on!
NTM: How did you guys find the robots? Get out of those right now!
(Chibi Neko sweatdrops.)
CN: Anyways…NTM does not own Gravitation, but she does own One Desire and their songs.
NTM: Don't make me get out my hammer!
CN: Myaa…I'm going to go crazy! Just get to the story!
Track 7- To My Dreams
Sarai stood on stage, the microphone in her hand. She was singing her heart out, when all of a sudden, her voice stopped. She fell through the stage and landed on a giant Kumagoro bunny.
"What the?"
"Ahiru…"
She turned around to see Ryuichi looking like an angel.
"Ryu?" she said.
He looked at her with a sad look in his eyes.
"Why did you do this to me Ahiru…Why did you kill me…"
"I didn't kill you! Ayashi did!"
"Why Ahiru…Why?"
He began to fade away.
"RYU! RYU COME BACK!"
Ahiru began to cry, a sad spotlight on her.
"Ryu…Ryu…"
"Sarai! Wake up!"
Sarai opened her eyes, back in the record studio, standing in front of the microphone.
"Ne?" she said. "What happened?"
Kiyuri and Taiko sweatdropped.
"You just dozed off again…" said Taiko. "We're ready to record the next song…"
Sarai laughed.
"Oh Yeah! The record…I forgot…"
Everyone except her face faulted. Noriko stood up and brushed herself off.
"That's okay Sarai…just take it from the top…" she said through the speaker.
"Right!"
She sighed and nodded again.
"Okay guys, A one, two thr--"
"Miss Ukai! Miss Ukai!"
Mr. Sakano ran into the studio, panicking horribly.
"What's wrong Mr. Sakano?" she said.
"Mr. Seguchi wants One Desire to come to his office right away!"
"Mr. Sakano, we are working on the CD at the moment…"
"I'm sorry Miss Ukai, but he insisted that One Desire come to his office right at this very moment!"
She sighed.
"Very well, that's enough for today…" she said to the girls. "Let's head to the office…"
The girls nodded and ran out of the studio.
"Oh boy," said Taiko. "We're in trouble already…"
"No worries Tai-Tai!" said Kiyuri. "It's probably just Toh-Toh wanting to congratulate us on a good job being Bad Luck's opening act!"
"Kiyuri! Don't call Mr. Seguchi that!"
"Nyah!"
"Why you--"
Sarai grabbed them both.
"Knock it off…" she said.
Kiyuri's stomach began to grumble.
"Ah…Now I'm hungry!"
Taiko tossed her a few coins.
"Just get something from the vending machine…"
Kiyuri stuck her tongue out again.
"NYAAAH! I'm going!"
She took off down the other hallway.
"Kiyuri…" said Taiko.
"Don't worry about her…" said Sarai. "She can take care of herself…"
Down by the Vending Machine--
"La di dah di dah…"
Kiyuri approached the machine and stared at it.
"Now…what do I want?"
"Kiyuri?"
She turned around, and there was Suguru, carrying a black folder.
"Eep! Uh-hey Su-Su…wh-what's up?"
"Just having a little break before I get back to practicing…"
"Why are you practicing?"
"Haven't you heard the good news?"
"What good news?"
"Oh, well I guess I'll tell you…Mr. Seguchi pulled some strings, and Bad Luck and One Desire are going to perform at the Tokyo Palladium, and it's going to be broadcasted worldwide…"
Kiyuri stood there, mouth agape.
"We're going…to perform…on live television! AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
She began jumping up and down, screaming at the top of her lungs.
"This is awesome! This must be what Toh-To-- I mean Mr. Seguchi wanted to tell us!"
Suguru smiled.
"Say, Kiyuri…I get an extra long lunch today and I was wondering if maybe you would like to go with me to this neat café that just opened?"
"Me? You? Café?" she said.
She turned bright red.
Oh no…she thought, He's not asking me on a…a date?
"I…I guess I could go with you…" she said.
Suguru smiled, and kissed Kiyuri on the forehead.
"Then I'll see you at lunch…Bye Kiyuri…"
He walked into the studio. Kiyuri turned even redder.
"Oh my god! Su-Su and I are going on a date! SARAI-CHAAAAAAN!"
She took off running toward Mr. Seguchi's office.
Inside Mr. Seguchi's office--
"WHAT!"
Sarai and Taiko stood there in shock at the news that they just heard.
"We're going to be on television!" Taiko said.
"I'm getting to sing on the biggest stage in Japan!" said Sarai.
"Mr. Seguchi…are you sure they can handle it?" said Noriko.
Tohma stood up, his black coat and hat on.
"I believe they're ready…this will be the last performance in Japan before we begin the world tour…"
He grabbed a brown bag and walked to the door.
"Now if you'll excuse me…I have to go visit someone…"
Sarai lowered her head.
"It's Ryuichi isn't it…"
"Sorry Sarai…but I can't say…Miss Ukai, please escort the girls out of my office."
"Yes sir…come on girls…"
The three of them left the office.
"SARAI-CHAAAAAAN!"
Kiyuri ran into Sarai, knocking her over.
"Kiyu? What's the matter?"
Kiyuri took in a deep breath.
"Su-Suhasaskedmeonadatetogotothecafeatlunch!" she said.
Sarai sighed.
"What's wrong, so Fujisaki asked you to go to the café…"
"ButIcan'tbecauseIreallylikehimandI'mbeginningtothinkthathelikesme!"
"So? What's the problem?"
"Idon'tknowwhattodoorsayoractlikeandIfeelthatImightmessupanddosomethingembarassinginfrontofhim!"
Sarai sighed, and ruffled her hair.
"Suguru will like you for who you are Kiyuri…just be yourself and you'll do fine…"
Kiyuri whimpered, twiddling her fingers.
"Now…" said Sarai. "I'm going to work on my song in the studio if anyone needs me…"
"I heard that you are almost done with it…" said Taiko.
"Yeah, but something is missing…and I can't sing it until I find the thing that makes it complete…"
"Well, Kiyu and I have been working on the arrangement…"
"Keep working on it…I'll add the lyrics in once I'm finished."
Sarai walked away, carrying her red notebook.
At the hospital--
Tohma walked up to the registration desk.
"Excuse me miss, but can you tell me what room Ryuichi Sakuma is in?"
The receptionist looked up at the blond male.
"Room 224, 5th Floor…" she said.
"Thank you…"
He left the registration desk and headed into the elevator.
"I just hope he's recovering nicely…"
In the studio--
Sarai opened the notebook, and took out a pencil.
"Okay, let's see what I've got so far…"
I can only hear your heart
It tells me that we should be in love
Why then are we so far apart?
If we're supposed to be together
Why can't you see that you mean so much to me?
Why do you keep playing with my heart?
I want to be by your side right now
Boy, can't you see that you complete me?
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
This is more than a fangirl crush
My love for you is deep
My love for you is strong
So take me in your arms
Let me feel your sweet kiss
My Eternal Love Be Mine
"Well, that's all I have now…it still is missing something…I wish I knew what…"
She scratched her head with the eraser tip of the pencil. She took out her backpack and pulled out Kumagoro.
"What would you do Kumagoro?" she asked the bunny.
In room 224--
"Na no na no na no da!"
Ryuichi was awake, scribbling on a piece of paper.
"Ryu wants to leave now na no da!" he said to the nurse.
"I'm sorry Mr. Sakuma, but you are not well enough to leave yet. That cut was pretty deep…"
"WAAAH! Ryu wanna go home! Ryu wants to see Ahiru-chan!"
The door opened, and Tohma walked in.
"Tohma!"
Ryu tried to get out of bed, but the nurse stopped him.
"Mr. Sakuma! You can't get out of--Mr. Sakuma!"
Tohma laughed.
"I brought you some Ramen that Mika made to cheer you up."
"Ryu like Ramen, but Ryu really want to see Ahiru-chan!"
He gave Tohma a bunch of paper.
"Ryu has been writing na no da!" he said, with a cheery smile.
Tohma looked at the pieces of paper.
"They look like song lyrics…" he said.
"They are na no da!"
Tohma begin to read the lyrics.
Even though you're far away
I can hear your heart beating next to mine
I want to be with you
But I don't know if you feel the same way
How can you show me how you feel?
What does it take to get you to love me?
Come to me and let me hold you in my arms
Girl, can't you see that you complete me?
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
This is more than a random thing
My love for you is deep
My love for you is strong
Let me take you in my arms
Let me kiss your tears away
My Eternal Love Be Mine
"Wow, Ryuichi." He said. "These are very nice…but something seems to be missing…"
"Ryu can't seem to finish it…" said Ryuichi. "Ryu want to be with Ahiru so much…that Ryu can't figure out what to write next…"
Tohma sighed.
"I can't let you leave yet…but I'll give these to Ahiru--I mean Sarai…"
"Thank you Tohma!"
The nurse took the brown bag, pulling out the container of Ramen.
"I'll give Mr. Sakuma his Ramen Mr. Seguchi…" she said. "You may go now…"
Tohma nodded.
"Bye Ryuichi, get better soon…maybe you'll be able to watch Sarai and the others on television--"
"NANI!"
Ryu sat straight up.
"What do you mean Ryu can see Ahiru on the television? Ryu want to see Ahiru onstage!"
"You might not be better in time for the concert at the Tokyo Palladium--"
"Nani! Ahiru is going to sing at the Tokyo Palladium! But that means…"
He began tearing up.
"Ahiru will leave for the tour…and Ryu will never get to see her!"
"Mr. Sakuma! Stop shouting and fidgeting!"
"NO! RYU WANT TO SEE AHIRU!"
"Mr. Sakuma…I'll have to give you a sleeping pill if you won't calm down…"
"RYU WANT TO SEE AHIRU, RYU NEED TO TELL AHIRU SOMETHING!"
The nurse took out a pill and placed it in Ryuichi's mouth while he was shouting. Ryu stopped shouting and yawned, laying back down and falling asleep.
"I'm sorry about that Mr. Seguchi…he'll be asleep for a couple of hours…" she said.
"That's okay…" said Tohma. "Ryuichi does overreact a little bit…"
He put his hat on and bowed to the nurse.
"Farewell miss, Goodbye Ryu…"
He left the room, sadly staring at the sleeping Ryu.
"Ryu…I wish I could let you see Ahiru…but she would be so heartbroken…"
At the café--
Kiyuri waited at the front entrance.
"Oh, I hope Su-Su shows up soon…"
She looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a red dress shirt and black pants with black shoes. She had on red lipstick and black mascara, and she carried a purse.
"Tai-Tai sure did a good job dressing me up, and Shu-Shu helped me with my makeup!"
She sighed and walked back and forth.
"I hope he shows up soon…"
"Kiyu?"
She turned around to see Suguru, wearing the same clothes from the studio.
"Ahh! Uh, hey Su-Su!" she said, blushing.
"Why did you change clothes?" he asked.
"Oh! I just felt like dressing up!"
"Are you wearing makeup?"
"Uhh…Shu-Shu needed to practice!"
Suguru smiled.
"Well, anyways…let's go inside."
"Yeah…"
He took her hand, making Kiyuri blush even more.
He's holding my hand! She thought happily. It must be a date!
They entered the café, and a waiter walked up to them.
"Hello Mr. Fujisaki, we've been expecting you." he said.
Suguru nodded.
"Right, is the table ready?"
The waiter nodded.
"Right this way…"
They walked over to a small table, with candles on the table. Kiyuri turned even redder.
A special table? She thought. Now I know this has to be a date!
"Come on!" said Suguru. "Let's have a seat…Is your face red?"
Kiyuri shook her head.
"I'm fine…" she said.
Suguru laughed.
"You're funny Kiyuri…"
Kiyuri sat down at the table, trying to hide her red face.
"Are you okay Kiyu?" he asked. "You're turning as red as a cherry."
Kiyuri sighed.
"I'm just a little nervous…" she said.
Suguru smiled, and walked over to her.
"You don't have to be…" he said.
Kiyuri turned her face the other way.
"Kiyu?"
Kiyuri turned to look at him.
"Isthisadate?"
"What?"
"I said…Is this a date?"
Suguru turned red.
"A d-date? Why would you think that?"
Kiyuri sighed.
"I knew it wasn't…"
She stood up and began to walk away.
"Wait…"
Suguru grabbed Kiyuri's hand and turned her around.
"Su-Su…what're you--"
He placed his lips to hers, pulling her into a sweet kiss. Kiyu was surprised at this, but began to cry, tears falling down her face.
"Su-Su…are you trying to say that…you…"
He nodded, blushing.
"I really like you Kiyuri…" he said. "I really like you a lot…but I just couldn't get the courage to tell you."
Kiyuri began to laugh.
"Su-Su! I've been trying to get the courage to tell you!"
They both started laughing.
"Excuse me…" said the waiter. "But are you ready to order?"
They looked at each other, then at the waiter, and let each other go, blushing deeply.
"Sorry about that…" he said. "We're ready…"
"Then can you please sit down so I can take your order."
Kiyuri nodded.
"Certainly, come on Su-Su!"
They sat down, both of them blushing deeply.
At the studio--
"ARRGH!"
Sarai slammed the notebook, sighing.
"I still can't think of anything else…" she said.
She then heard voices coming from the hallway.
"But Mr. Seguchi…Why can't you tell Sarai about Ryu's condition?"
She peeked through the door, and there was Shuichi, K, and Tohma talking in the hallway.
"What the? What are they talking about?" she said.
Shuichi began to whine.
"But Why Tohma?" he said. "Why can't we tell her about Ryuichi's condition?"
Tohma took off his hat.
"I don't want Sarai to worry about Ryuichi while we prepare for the concert…"
Mr. K folded his arms.
"If Sarai ever found out that we were hiding this info, she would not want to perform at the concert…"
"But it still isn't right!" said Shuichi. "It's like lying to her…"
Sarai slammed the door open.
"You…" she said. "You lied to me!"
They turned around to see Sarai, her eyes filled with tears.
"I can't believe you won't let me see Ryuichi! You want me to concentrate on the concert so you can keep your job!"
She pointed to Shuichi.
"And YOU!" she said. "I can't believe that you would agree to this! I thought you were my friend!"
Sarai grabbed her orange cap and slammed it on her head.
"Well, I'm no longer going to be your pawn! I QUIT!"
She ran off, tears in her eyes, carrying her notebook.
They stood there, mouths agape.
"Now what do we do?"
Outside, Kiyuri and Suguru were laughing.
"Huh?"
Sarai walked past them.
"Sarai?" said Kiyuri. "What's wrong?"
Sarai just walked to the scooter, and turned the key.
"Sarai wait!"
Tohma, K, and Shuichi ran towards her. She started the scooter and drove off.
"Mr. Seguchi?" said Kiyuri. "What's wrong with Sarai?"
Taiko ran towards them.
"Hey, wasn't that Sarai?" she said. "Where is she going?"
Tohma sighed.
"I'm afraid that Sarai, has quit One Desire…"
Everyone gasped.
"SHE QUIT!"
On the street, Sarai was driving off, tears falling down her cheeks.
Ayashi was right…It is my fault that everything happens to me…Ryu could be dying for all I know…and they don't care! Well, as long as he is in the hospital…I'm not going to sing anymore!
Can this be true? Sarai has left the singing gig for good? This can't be the end!
