The bright sunlight was streaming through Neko's window when she finally woke.
" Ugh…" Neko groaned walking into the kitchen.
"Neko you really slept in today. Did you have a big night?" Kumiko asked smiling. She was in the middle of working on lunch while Hoshi sat at the table watching the news.
"Yeah I did Shu-chan and I… wait what happened to Shu-chan, and how did I get here?" Neko asked looking a little dazed.
"You don't remember? Mr. Shindou carried you all the way home, put you to bed and then left." Hoshi told her.
"Oh Ok that explains a lot." Neko replied walking back into her room. It was about 12:30 by the time she had finally started getting dressed. Neko pulled on a pair of long violet jeans and a long sleeved violet and black striped top. After that she grabbed a fluffy pink hooded poncho with fox ears and tail. Even though she was all dressed and cleaned up she still wasn't feeling all that and a bag of chips. She then reentered the kitchen where Hoshi and Kumiko were now eating.
"I'm going over to NG I was suppose to be there for a photo shoot today at one." Neko told then in a mellow toned voice.
"Alright, good luck." Kumiko replied. Neko slipped into her black converse at the door and went out of the apartment. She started thinking about her dream when she entered onto the sakura street.
Did Shu-chan really kiss me… or was it all a dream? I should probly talk to him about it. He could…
"Huh!" Neko said surprised.
"Oh My Gawd look its Neko Aoki!" "Neko Aoki where!" Yelled a group of people; at once a huge crowd formed around her. Neko started getting a scared look on her face and ran.
"What am I going to do?" Neko asked aloud running from the huge mob behind her.
"Neko sign my shirt." "Neko my daughter loves you!" "Neko let me take your picture." "Neko we want you!" yelled to mob.
"HELP MEEEEE!" Neko cried. Suddenly someone grabbed her from a small alleyway and covered her mouth from her cries. Once the crowd had run by the man let her go and she turned saying "Thank you so much." The man was tall and blonde, wearing glasses, with a cigarette in his mouth. He had a very distinct look about him of a novelist.
"You really should be wearing glasses or something. When people recognize you they will attack you." He said.
"Who are you to be lecturing me about hiding from the public for all I know you could be some kind of pervert!" She said snidely. The mans face had a shocked "I cant believe you said that" look because of her blunt words.
"No I'm not like that, my name is Eiri Yuki and I happen to have the same problem now and again." Yuki replied slightly irritated.
"No way, I know you I read all your books they were wonderful! Sorry I was so rude its not a bad thing to be careful, and thanks again for the help." Neko said bowing. She then turned and took off toward NG, to her luck she was close to the building from running. Once she entered her work room Mr. Masao practically jumped on her.
"Neko where have you been we need to get along on this photo shoot because we have lots to do today!" He said dragging Neko onto the photo set. She worked for hours taking photos and autographing mercindise for sales. When Neko was finished she snuck out and went to Bad Luck's producing room. Neko was a little frazzled from all the work she had done prior to her visit. The room was very quite with only Hiro and Fujisaki sitting on the couches.
"Hey what brings you here?" Hiro asked with a smile.
"Well I wanted to speak with Shu-chan about what happened yesterday." Neko answered. Hiro turned to Fujisaki with a wide-eyed expression.
"Neko, come with me." Hiro said gently taking Neko's hand leading her to the large windowed food court down the hall. Hiro didn't say anything until they were seated next to a window over looking Tokyo Bay.
"Shuichi told me specifically what happened last night." Hiro said.
"Good, now I have someone to fill me in." Neko said making Hiro look surprised.
"So you didn't know that he kissed you?" Hiro asked.
"NO I DIDN'T, CRAP HE STOLE MY FIRST KISS!" Neko fumed.
"Well there is one other thing I need to tell you… He has a boyfriend." Hiro added calmly.
"So you mean hes?.." "yep." Hiro said to her partial question. Then out of no where she started laughing.
"That means I still have my first kiss! It doesn't count if the guy is gay!" Neko said smiling triumphantly. "Who's the lucky man?"
"Eiri Yuki." Hiro answered. Neko then had a flash back to the man that saved her earlier that day.
"I met him, he saved me this morning from a mob." Neko said. After Neko's words Shuichi popped up in front of their table. He was blushing slightly.
"Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?" I thought you were my friend!" Neko said getting big teary eyed and angry. She stomped past him and went for the elevator. She got off on the roof, the sun was warm on her cheeks even with a soft wind blowing over her. She walked over to the railing and daydreamed into the sky. Shuichi found her after a few minutes because he had something to tell her.
"Neko-chan I have something to tell you. Our hero Ryuichi Sakuma is coming back from America!" Shuichi said excitedly.
"What really? He is so hot! I have all his music and everything this is like a dream come true! I can't wait!" Neko babbled in a fangirl-ish manor with hearts in her eyes. They talked on the roof of NG for at least and hour watching the birds fly through the city.
Woohoo new and last chapter I'll post before the new year! This is so exciting I love this chapter because it is the start of Ryuichi's triumphant return! I think it should be illegal for someone to be that hot! Don't you? Anyway I will be up in the mountains for three days celebrating the new year with my friends so I hope this works for you guys for the time being till I get back. Another thing is my scanner is on the friz so it will be very hard for me to get any new pics to you guys all I have are the ones already on my comp so that means no new ones for a while. Thanks for reading See you all in the new year!
