A/N: Soo sorry for not updating!! First year of high school has got be busy. I also had writer's block for a while, but after getting an email from Fic-luva, and two more reviews recently, I was reminded that people are actually reading. I hope this lives up to the rest of the chapters, because I was kind of on lack of inspiration. Thank you guys so much for reminding me that people do read this fanfic!! I love you guys!
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy X-2 or any related materials. I only own the original characters Rosari, Samuto, and Heimong. I also don't own the lyrics to "Everything Needs Love". In fact, I'm not quite sure who does... .
Chapitre 5 :: Everything Needs Love
I enjoyed myself for the rest of that day.
And now, I have the media stalking me endlessly.
"Miss Lenne! Is it true you are dating this Ronzo named Rosari?"
"When did you meet this guy?"
"Lenne, how many times have you done it?"
"When are you going to marry him?"
"Who is this Ronzo that you are dating, Miss Lenne?"
"Are you having any relationship problems yet?"
That last question caused me to snap.
"None with him, but I will have problems with all of you if you don't LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shouted at them. Most of them left me alone, but some of them seemed to be ignorant and bothered me more. I left them and ran to Samuto's apartment.
"Hey! What's up?" Samuto asked as I ran into her apartment. "Um...hello to you too!" I slammed the door shut in front of us. "What the-?"
"Reporters! Too many of them!" I gasped for air.
"Oh, that whole thing about you and Rosari, right?" she asks me.
"Yeah," I reply.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me about it!" Samuto shrieked.
Uh oh... is she upset at me?
"I'm so happy for you!" She glomped me. Uh... I guess not...?
"T-Thanks," I smile.
"But you know, what happened to Shuyin?" she asked me.
"Too much to explain," I sighed. I didn't want her to know about Shuyin; she would tell him everything. I couldn't let her know what was going on at all.
"Awww, c'mon!" she whined. "Tell me!"
"M-Maybe next time," I replied. "Right now I just need to survive."
"All right then," Samuto sighed.
"I swear, if they don't leave me alone, I will get Shiva on their asses!" I mumbled.
"Okay, no need to go that far," Samuto said. "Don't want you in jail now."
"Yeah, you're right," I replied.
"Of course I am!" Samuto grinned.
"Okay, don't be so smug," I laughed.
We ended up hanging around her apartment for the rest of the day. I thought about how evil Shuyin was, and Samuto just thought about how Shuyin feels about me dating Rosari. She thinks that he likes me! I couldn't believe it. I ended up sleeping over in my attempt to fend off the reporters.
"Lenne!" Samuto woke me up.
"Mmmm..." I opened my eyes slowly and saw a tabloid in front of me.
"Read it!" Samuto said excitedly. I rubbed my eyes and looked closer.
"'Songstress...Gone...Mad??'" I read it aloud.
"I can't believe they would write that!" Samuto said. "I mean, you have a right to remain silent."
"And they have a right to ruin my reputation," I sighed. "Well, I don't care. People like that need lives."
"That's true," Samuto laughed. "So what shall we do today?"
"I'm not-" I was cut off by my cell phone. "Er, hold on." I get my phone and answer it. "Hello?"
"Lenne, hi," It was my manager, Heimong. "I need you in today."
"What for?" I asked her.
"You need to finish a new album by the end of this year," she replied. "If not, you'll be breaking the contract and will face legal problems."
"Oh, okay, I'll get there as fast as I can," I reply. "See you soon!" I ended the call then turned to Samuto. "Sorry Samuto, I have to go."
"Well, good luck dodging the reporters!" Samuto smiled at me. "Have fun!"
"Thanks, I'll try," I laughed as I left.
I headed for the studio, surprised that no reporters have bothered me yet. As I was walking, I encountered him.
"Shuyin," I said as I walked up to him.
"Lenne," he replies. "I thought I told you, didn't I?"
"I don't care about the reporters," I told him. "But Rosari and I know about you and your preferences."
"Don't bother telling anyone," he laughs at me. "Nobody will believe you."
"Don't worry," I tell him. "I wouldn't stoop down to your level. Unlike you, I respect the privacy of others."
"You're nothing to me," he tells me. He did NOT just say that.
I looked at him coldly, then I started walking again to the studio. He stood there, with an evil grin. I thought about how I hate Shuyin and ended up at the studio entrance quicky. I went up to the recording rooms and met up with Heimong.
"Lenne! There you are!" Heimong runs to me.
"Hi, sorry I'm late," I replied.
"No, you're just on time!" She smiles.
"Great," I say. "What song am I recording first?"
"Your pick," She tells me. I ran through a list of songs that she bought lyrics to and found a very interesting title.
"'Everything Needs Love'?" I read it aloud. "I think I'll do that one."
"You sure?" She asks.
"Totally," I reply. We get everything ready and the music starts to play and I get ready to sing.
There's a sound I hear in the dark
It's a secret that's sung by the vanishing stars
The lonesome bird losing its song to tears
Whispers "I was born to be remembered"
As the voices rise and reach out
Comes a ray of the sun through the blanket of clouds
The crying sky unlocks the secret kept
She calls "the truth found will always stay here in my heart"
Everything needs love...
Everything needs love...
There's a sound I hear in the dark
It's a secret that's sung by the vanishing stars
The lonesome bird losing its song to tears
Whispers "I was born to be remembered"
As the voices rise and reach out
Comes a ray of the sun through the blanket of clouds
The crying sky unlocks the secret kept
She calls "the truth found will always stay here in my heart"
Everything needs love...
Everything needs love...
Breathe deep and listen to the raindrops
Fly over valleys and the hilltops
Glide down and dive into the ocean
Let tides spill over your emotions
Everything needs love...
There's a sound I hear in the dark
It's a secret that's sung by the vanishing stars
The lonesome bird losing its song to tears
Whispers "I was born to be remembered"
As the voices rise and reach out
Comes a ray of the sun through the blanket of clouds
The crying sky unlocks the secret kept
She calls "the truth found will always stay here in my heart"
Everything needs love...
Everything needs love...
"Nicely done!" Heimong told me after I recorded it for a fifth time. "Did you like it?"
"Yes, I did," I replied. "I don't know why though... In fact, I think I want that to be the album's title."
"Well, we have a few more songs to record," Heimong said.
"Yea, lemme see what else there is," I said. For the rest of the day I recorded some songs. As I got home, I could only think about one thing:
"Everything needs love."
I hope this chapter made some sense to you guys. I needed to move it along somehow, and I just didn't know how. The next chapter will have some major action though, so don't worry! Please review...!
