A/N: Before you read this chapter, I suggest you go back to chapter 3 and re-read it since I added more content to it!

The past liked to haunt Ishida Yamato. It was around midnight, when he woke up from another flashback.

The rushing sensation. The crowds inspiring "Ganbatte ne! (Do your best!)" The music. The rhythm. His voice resonating.

"I miss everything about being a rock star…" His blue eyes wavered with longing as he mused to himself.

"Why don't you do something about it?"

Yamato's eyes widened. "What the-"

Mimi Tachikawa stood at the doorway of his room, leaning casually against the door frame. She was staring at him seriously, a question mark glittering in her hazel eyes.

The boy huffed indignantly, sitting up from his bed. "Ch, none of your business."

He heard her sigh sadly, and said, "Ja...(well…) just wanted to apologize for earlier on. I was feeling pretty cranky, so I just blew up. I mean, I'm always like that around boys. Ever since…" She drifted off and shook her head. "Never mind. Sorry, Ishida-san."

He heard her begin to walk away and the door closing.

"Tomeru. (Stop.)" He commanded.

Mimi peeked her head back in. "Haii?"

"Now that we have cleared up our recent argument, there's something I want to know…I want to know why you aren't surprised at the fact that I used to be a singer…" He turned to face her, an eyebrow raised suspiciously.

"Sou, sou…(Oh yeah…) I watched a performance on Japan MTV after I left school. It was a concert dated around two years, I think? And you were on it, with your band; The Wolves…" She reflected, chewing her bottom lip in thought.

"…"

Realizing her butler's abrupt silence, she added quickly, "Demo…(however…) you sang very well. I was," She blushed and dropped her voice to a low whisper,

"…impressed."

The boy froze. 'She was impressed. She was impressed. Mimi Tachikawa said she was impressed with my singing.' He looked at her. "You liked it?"

The pretty brunette nodded, the flush on her cheeks intensified.

"Huh." Yamato blew out a breath, a grin creeping upon his lips. "That's…good to hear."

And to his astonishment, Mimi began to sing the song he played in concert. "YeahI'm fadin', and I call out, no one hears me…" She stopped halfway and cringed. "God, I hope I'm not a horrible singer. Am I?" Her voice raised a few notches in humiliation.

Yamato bit his lip, choking back his laughter. "Miss Mimi, you're off key! Ha, ha!" He unsuccessfully burst into quiet laughter and slowly ceasing when he received a glare from the girl.

"I only heard your song once, so give me some slack! Mou…"

"Okay, okay. It was pretty good for a first-timer. Heh," The blonde motioned her to sit next to him on the bed.

Mimi was hesitant at first, but allowed herself to flop onto the butler's mattress.

"Shinpai na, (don't worry,) we'll sing together, okay?" He smiled sincerely at her.

"Mmm…okay then."

The whistling wind was drowned by the interlacing and melodic voices seeping from the mansion's walls.

"Yeah I'm hiding in the fallout

Now I'm wasted

They don't need me don't want me don't hear a word I say…"

-------------------------------------

School was a blur for the rest of the week. The Ishida Fan Club, led by Narita-san was incredibly annoying; but did not bother Mimi too much since her butler looked out for her.

'Thank goodness for Ishida-san, I can't stick up for myself around those kind of people…' Mimi thought with gratefulness filling her heart.

Another highlight: spring break. For two weeks. And it was starting after school ended. Even sensei was reasoning with herself while writing equations on the board. 'TGIF! (Thank God it's Friday),' She cheered mentally.

"Ne, Mimi-chan! Are you going anywhere for spring break?" Hikari probed, leaning across to exchange a few words. Her attention span was probably on the same level as a five year old child.

The brunette shook her head. "Nope. Going nowhere."

"Aw, you're so lucky!" Her friend gushed, clapping her hands together. Before Mimi could ask why, she suggestively said, "Maybe you and Ishida-san can you know," Hikari wiggled her thin eyebrows.

"…hook up."

Mimi's uninterested emotion to the conversation quickly changed. "Onore! (Damn you!)" She cursed, her face reddening.

Hikari giggled, making a face at her friend before resuming her awareness to the lecture Yoshizumi-sensei was giving.

'Hook…up?' Mimi's skin felt hot at the thought of that. She still could not forget the week's previous events where Yamato saved her from Narita, caressing her in his arms like that.

She awkwardly let her eyes skim over the classroom; landing on a certain blond-headed boy. 'Yamato…why did you do that for me?' Her butler caught her sneaking a look at him. She quickly turned away, hiding her pink face. 'Mimi no baka!' She scolded herself.

Without her notice, Yamato smirked to himself once observing Mimi's actions. 'What a cute, pathetic girl she can be…' He stopped himself. 'Uh…did I just say 'cute'?'

RIIIINNG!

'Yeeeeeeessss!' The entire class thought. 'School is out!' Students scrambled out of their seats and out the door, laughing and squealing in thrill.

"Sayonara, Mi-chan! I have to go- I might miss my train for Kyoto!" Hikari waved and blew a kiss, to her friend's dismay. "Remember…hook up!" The younger girl mouthed cheekily before running off.

Tachikawa Mimi's cheeks burned.

"Oi, your cheeks look like they're on fire." Yamato remarked as he paced over to her desk, smiling down at her.

"Oh, shut up!" Mimi hid her face behind a curtain of chocolate-colored hair.

"Ha, ha…hey, are you going anywhere for the next fourteen days?" He questioned, dodging Mimi's curious glance as she peeked up.

"Huh? Iie…(no…)"

The blonde's cerulean eyes met hers briefly. "Oh- sugoi (great). Would you like to fly to America with me?" He secretly crossed his fingers behind his back. 'I hope she says yes…'

"Dou iu koto? (What are you talking about?)" The girl was stunned.

"For seven days. Onegai? (Please?) I really want to take you there!" Yamato found himself blurting his thoughts out loud. 'Shimatta… (crap…)I'm such an idiot.' He flushed, and studied her reaction.

'He really wants to take me there…?' Her heart fluttered strangely. "Oh…okay. I'll go with you." Mimi smiled up at him.

"Alright!" The blonde broke into a beam and took hold of her arm. "Come on, we got to book the plane tickets!"

"Waaahh…matte! (wait!) Not so fast, Ishida-san!"

A/N: Cute eh? Won't update till I get more than 20+ reviews! He, he…new strategy :P I know I'm stupid.
