People people..hey! First things first, I would like to clarify that IamNOTanidiotwhodoesnotputaspaceinbetweenmywords like my first chapter implied that. It wasn't me, probably the QuickEdit thingy. Welllll, here's the (-cough-long awaited-cough-) second part of the supposed one-shot. So yeah. Please again read the translation for this one, it's pretty important.
Some random stuff. I read my own reviews in the review history and I am a certified bitch.

Adorably Sexy Shoujo
Misao snuggled further into the covers as she felt a wet but pleasant sensation on her neck.
"Five more minutes, Fluffy.." She mumbled, referring to her bushy cat.
Then she heard a deep chuckle in the curve of her neck and shoulders. It tickled, so she started giggling as well.
And stopped short.
Cats do NOT chuckle sexily like that.
"OH MY GOD!" She leapt up from the soft pillows and saw a very handsome, barely covered man staring back at her in amusement. She pointed an accusing finger at him.
"You..you were the one who stole my VIRGINITY!"
"I didn't know you were a virgin. How old are you anyway?" He closed his eyes and combed his hair back with his fingers. Misao had to keep herself from drooling and taking out a camera. Instead she stumbled out the next sentence.
"EIGHTEEN! You PEDOPHILE! MONSTER! You could have stopped when you..er..found out!" Although Misao very much knew she was glad he didn't.
Aoshi's eyes flicked momentararily with surprise at her age, and he suddenly turned to her, his face an inch away from hers and his eyes staring into her ocean ones intensely. "Last night, I couldn't and wouldn't have stopped, Misao."
She couldn't speak. She just stayed there, melting under his gaze when he broke the silence.
"Did you regret it?" He closed his eyes, his lips taut in a straight, emotionless line.
"N-no! No. NO. I..—Good LORD is that your guitar!" She squealed and ran over to it, pulling the blanket with her. This caused Aoshi to be completely revealed, but he didn't care. Misao, however, was blissfully ignorant of that fact and continued ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the 500,000 yen electric instrument situated at the corner of the luxurious bedroom.
"Aoshi-san, can I please please PLEASE try it—EEP!" She quickly turned around and stammered for Aoshi to get dressed. Instead he walked over to her and nipped onto her ear while whispering,
"You've got a body made for sin..so why waste it behind princess costumes and squeaky clean gigs?"
"I-I beg of you, put on something."
"I will once you tell me."
"Well, first, I unfortunately do NOT have a so called 'body made for sin'. I mean, you must have noticed, my—"
"I think they're perfect." He said that with a very serious expression, as if he was saying he wanted a latte.
Misao avoided the compliment and blurted out, "We-well they ARE small, um secondly, I thought it was the only way to go in the music industry to stay the top.. not to let any scandal destroy you..and being this way..it's kind of me I suppose."
Aoshi then let go of her and she started breathing again. He walked over to the wardrobe and took out a wine-red silk robe, put it on, and went over to her again. Misao swore that this is the second sexiest Aoshi, the first being him not wearing anything at all. She blushed.
Aoshi picked up his guitar and handed it to her with the pick.
"Try it."
Misao beamed with delight and thanked him graciously. She eagerly took the large instrument and started strumming some tunes. Aoshi taught her new techniques, and for around half and hour they were submerged deep into a conversation about music. Misao was so happy that she was getting to know the Sex God better, and decided that he wasn't that scary after all.
So she pulled herself together and asked the question.
"S-so. What now? I mean, to complete my sentence just now I did NOT regret being with you last night, in fact I..kind of..enjoyed it." She turned to him. "Both of us know that dating is.." She struggled to say the next few words.
"Out of the question." He finished it for her.
She inwardly winced and continued, "Yup. But I don't want it to end, Aoshi-san."
"Aoshi."
"Aoshi-s..Aoshi." She tasted the name on her lips. It felt good.
"Misao." She looked at him when he called her name.
"I didn't regret it as well, and neither do I want it to end." He lowered his face and covered her mouth with his, in a gentle yet pressurising kiss. Yes, that was Aoshi's kiss.
When they finally broke off she asked, out of breath, "But..we were so obvious yesterday at the club!"
"Don't forget, that club is mine. I called Kamatari to make sure it got to everyone there last night to shut up, or lose membership in my exclusive club. Anyway they are mostly friends I know."
"That sounded really egoistic. But when did you do that?"
"When you were still snoring away." He said with a completely straight face.
"I do NOT snore!" She threw the pillow at him and ducked when he threw it back with much more force.
"Ha HA, you missed!" Misao stuck her tongue out. Aoshi just rolled his eyes.
For the next month or so they continued their secret meetings, and each morning when they woke up they would talk over coffee and with every meeting they became less and less like mutual sex partners and more like friends.
But Misao knew it would be humiliating for Aoshi, a highly-worshipped sex god-cum-Jrocker, to let the public knew he was having sex with someone much younger and a Jpop princess like herself. So she never mentioned to Aoshi how much she was falling in love with him.
Likewise for Aoshi he thought that if Misao's fans knew she, pure and clean, was already not a virgin and doing it regularly with someone NOT so pure and clean, she would be dead meat.
So the two idiots remained that way, always together but never SEEN together, connections and just plain secrecy made sure of that.
Misao's career was fully fledging, her popularity demanded practically monthly song releases, and she was getting tired of trying to maintain her genre of pop songs when she wanted so much to do something else.
Like J-rock, but NOT like J-rock at the same time.
"You've got a body made for sin..so why waste it behind princess costumes and squeaky clean gigs?" Before this whole Aoshi thing there was never a problem with composing nice, catchy songs and writing lyrics that didn't really express herself, but more like expressed everyone else. Now she wanted to go BEYOND that. She wanted to shout out to the world her true character, her true feelings and wanted to try to compose something that was actually HER. She realised that she was changing.
A month ago Makimachi Misao was a cute and bubbly girl. Now she still is, but there was this added element of being sexy and dangerous. my name's WOMEN was not released, the only people who heard it were Aoshi's club members and friends who were almost all musicians who had no reason to leak out her song. But they have talked to her once or twice, trying to persuade her to release it as her new single, but she never dared. That night was different, she FELT completely different than she did now.
My name's WOMEN was purely sexy, her songs now are purely cute.
How about a little mix? She could do that.
"Writing a new song?" Aoshi inquired when he saw his lover-but-not-really writing something on the dining table while strumming some random tunes on his guitar which, unknown to Misao, nobody in the world could touch except for her.
She spun her raven head around and quickly stopped whatever she was doing. Not that she could continue concentrating with such a yummy bishounen standing at the doorway looking at her in just a pair of track pants.
"Oh hi! Yeah, it's just a new song. You know, the usual." She lied through her teeth and Aoshi could tell.
"Why don't you show the score to me? Maybe I could give you a few pointers….."
Misao stared at him like he just grew another head. "You are a freaking J-rocker, and what I am writing out is NOT your stuff dude. I thought you knew that! Man….."
Aoshi quirked an eyebrow at her sudden urge to be a surfer, but he shrugged and wordlessly went to make coffee. It was five a.m., a few more minutes before Misao would sneak off and pretend that nothing just happened.
After she left Aoshi sighed and sunk himself onto the couch. Just now he almost said, "I'll take you home", but he stopped himself just in time. This wasn't the first time he forgot that she wasn't his girlfriend but just a sex partner, which was strange because almost all the women he slept with were sex partners that he ditched probably a week later.
And what was just now about? Misao being so secretive about her work?
'What is the world coming to?'
In that year's charity concert more than 70,000 people turned up to watch all Japan's hottest icons and stars sing, most particularly Misao and Aoshi.
In the former's make-up room, Misao was arguing with Megumi.
"Please, I just want to choose my own wardrobe and makeup for once, Takani-san! Just this once I promise you won't be disappointed!"
"Mi-chan, you have to understand, I don't even know what you are going to sing! You just told me it's a new song, that's all and that you already arranged it with your bandmates. But it's not enough! What about the lighting? This isn't just some small gathering you know! There are more than fifty thousand listeners out there!"
"It's all done, just believe me!"
"But—"
"Trust me Megumi! Please!" Misao said desperately to her manager and friend, dropping the polite 'Takani-san' in her pleading.
Megumi opened her mouth, then shut it. She sighed and said, "Alright. But you knew I was not going to be happy about you changing your image, right?"
"Ah, but rest assured Megumi. This change is for the better."
After Aoshi's ground-breaking performance which left the audience screaming for more, the host disappointed yet pulled up their spirits once more when he announced,
"Thank you Aoshi, our beloved sex god! But now, last but definitely not the least, is Makimachi Misao, with her newest and unheard single, STEP you!"
He was interrupted by a strange tune, something similar to the beat of slow, stepping feet. When the music gained speed, a burst of dry ice fogged the stage, and when it cleared the audience collectively gasped.
Misao was in a black leather tank top with matching shorts, her long creamy legs ending with ankle-length boots. Around her neck there was a choker studded with pink diamonds, and she wore a matching pink-diamondish belt around her waist. Glitter was strategically applied onto her body, and she completed the look with a jazz hat. Her braided hair was temporarily dyed a little red, and her face was elaborately made up. She looked just right, just Misao. Not too cutish, not trying too hard to be something she is not.
Somehow the appearance did not shock the audience as much as her new song, which she started singing.
Talking about nothing much at all,
We acted in a moment and displayed our habits.
Though I don't have to remind myself not to forget,
From somewhere within me, fully...
wow oh oh oh oh no no no no

"Where are you, what are you doing around this time?"
Right after I thought such things,
Even for just a moment,
I wanted you to remember me.

1.2.3.4 YOU and ME?
This is remarkably the first time Misao has written a true love song dedicated to herself, and the fans could not wait to know who the lucky guy was. They loved this tune, so catchy and cute yet dark and rocky. It was very unique, very Misao. The cheers seemed to be neverending, even after Misao left the stage they were still cheering non-stop.
After Misao had changed and was ready to go, she had left with her chauffer back to the hotel. Aoshi had his own to go back to, and it would be hell if they had tried to get together tonight. The singer couldn't wait to see him again, not just for the sex, but also for his wonderful smile and their deep conversations. When she arrived at the room, she stepped into the big shower and contemplated on that night. Was she a little too obvious, she was exhilarated at the reception of this song, but she wanted to know Aoshi's reaction the most. Would he know? Would he be shocked? Would he run away? Misao was a little afraid. What if he was just using her for the sex? She knew that he wasn't that kind of person, so she erased that ridiculous thought from her mind.
Changing into a simple T-shirt and pajama pants, she towelled her now-black hair and plopped herself onto the bed. Not long after, though, she was disturbed from her half-unconscious state with urgent knocks on the hotel room door. Groaning, she got up and looked through the peephole. It was understood that her location was purely confidential, so it couldn't be fans. Instead the beautiful face of her manager was desperately beckoning to her to open the door.
"What is it, Megumi?" Misao asked, a concerned frown etched on her pretty face. Her manager looked close to hyperventilating.
"You gotta come down, Mi-chan. I don't know, somehow my brother is looking for you. You don't know him, right?" Misao almost laughed at this statement. She had hidden their little affair so well that even her manager didn't suspect anything. Nevertheless, she was thrilled at this sudden information. Why was he looking for her? Was it good…or bad? "Why? What's wrong?" She played innocent, ignoring Megumi's question.
"I told you, I don't know. I just got a call from the hotel staff, and I went down myself to take a look. I tell you, it's chaos down there. Mobs of your fans and his is keeping him from moving an inch. It's not like him to make a public appearance like that."
Oh no, Misao thought. He must be really angry.
"Okay, I'm coming." She did not go back to even change out of her sleepwear, she was too disorientated. Neither did she wear a single ounce of makeup, a big DON'T for somebody so famous. Before Megumi could stop her Misao was running in nothing but a shirt, no bra, and long droopy pants. If you counted bedroom slippers, she had them on too. Pressing the lift button multiple times, she waited impatiently for the lift to arrive to her penthouse floor. It finally came, and Megumi squeezed in with her.
"I am NOT letting you go down like that. For God's sake, wear a bra at least!"
"What? I'm not going back!"
Megumi looked around the expansive lift, and then slipped out her phone. She dialled the hotel manager.
"Sano! Can I trust you to turn off all security cameras in this lift, plus not let anyone access it until it reaches the lobby. Yeah… Thanks…Whatever." Misao gaped at her in awe. The older woman clipped her phone shut, shrugged and simply said, "Boyfriend." Then she looked at the lift meter. They were still on the fiftieth floor and counting.
Then she started to undress.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Misao exclaimed. It's not that they haven't seen each other before, locker rooms and spas permitted that. But Misao just kept on sputtering, shocked, until Megumi handed her her Trimph bra.
She sighed. "The things I do for you."
Misao just thanked her, still shocked, and proceeded to slip on the comfortable blue lingerie. That was by far the weirdest thing that had happened between the two of them, and they already made an odd pair.
Once the lift door opened, revealing the hotel lobby, Misao rushed out and Megumi followed closely(while trying to conceal her braless state with as many carefully-planned movements as possible). This was met with thousands of screams, and at first Misao couldn't see the handsome singer, but his tall form was soon evident after a brief glance. She ran to him, and the mob of fans miraculously parting like the red sea.
Aoshi, clad in a simple shirt and jeans, looked absoloutely divine. A small smile graced his features as he spotted the petite eighteen-year old. Misao knew at once that he wasn't angry. What she didn't know, however, came later when Aoshi took her stunned self into his arms and kissed her VERY thoroughly, in front of the shell-shocked fans. Misao wrapped her arms around his neck immediately, welcoming the unexpected gesture.
They finally broke off, faces flushed and lips swollen, and staring at each other deeply in the eyes.
'I love you,' he mouthed, but the rest of the people was not able to see what he said. Misao giggled and planted a smooch right on his lips again.
Reporters were now frantic, fighting for a good shot of the couple. This was first-class news, and they took out their hidden microphones and shouted hurried questions to the pair.
"Aoshi, are you an Misao an item?" Was the most popular one.
Aoshi just smiled and held Misao closer. Then he held up an arm, asking them to wait.
One thousand people held their breaths and all was silent for a moment. The tall Jrocker bent down and whispered something into Misao's puce red ear. To which she squealed with joy.
"YES YES YES YES!"
Aoshi looked at the stunned reporters again, and this time he gave them a small nod.
FINALLLY! So sorry for the late updates guys I just had no time and this was pretty long. SO yeah. This is tiring to write.
