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

A Year Later…

"Hatsumi! Come here for a sec" Dean shouted.

Hatsumi turned around and nodded. She walked back to Dean's desk in his office.

"I just got word. Your new sunglasses line will be promoted tomorrow at the Paris Fashion Show Walk." Dean told her.

"Great! Thanks Dean! Oh wait you wanted me to come by your place tonight to get you? What time again?" Hatsumi asked.

"Oh… uh… I guess after 9 p.m. would be ok." Dean answered.

Then Hatsumi went back to her office to collect her things and went down the elevator and outside. She was planning on going shopping. When she started checking out the windows outside the stores, her cell phone rang.

"Hello?" Hatsumi asked into her cell phone.

"Hi Hatsumi! It's Shinogu here. I hope you don't mind, I got this number from your office. I wanted to speak with you privately. Where are you now?" Shinogu asked.

"Uh… I'm outside the store "La Vie En Rose" at the intersection of… Latria and 4thth Street." Hatsumi replied, looking up at the signs.

"Ok I'll be over there in a sec. Wait for me!" Shinogu said then he hung up. Hatsumi hung up and closed her cell phone. Just a few minutes later, Shinogu appeared.

"Hey Hatsumi! How are you doing?" Shinogu asked.

"Oh, I'm doing great Shinogu. You?" Hatsumi asked Shinogu.

"Heck no! Ever since I saw something… revealing, I couldn't ignore it, so I had to tell you. Hatsumi, I'm not joking, but I saw your boyfriend making out with another girl at that café where we all met each other. I mean, after you left, an older looking French woman came and he started talking to her, and holding hands and everything. Did you guys break up yet?" Shinogu asked.

"No! I can't believe you Shinogu! You're just jealous! I can't believe that you'd say something like that! God! I never want to see you again, so just leave me alone!" Hatsumi said, running away. 'Still got that stubbornness streak in her', Shinogu thought to himself. He smiled.

Later on that day, Hatsumi got ready for her usual date with Dean, and left. It was a little early, but knowing Dean, he wouldn't care if she arrived at his place one hour early. After all she wanted to get over that conversation with Shinogu earlier on.

She walked outside until she found his apartment, and then went inside and up the elevator to the 13th floor.

She stopped on Dean's floor and walked to his door. It was strangely, open so she gave it a little push and she heard moaning. Hatsumi walked in and into the bedroom. To her horror she saw Dean naked, with an older French lady!

"DEAN?" Hatsumi yelled.

"HATSUMI! It's not what you think!" Dean replied.

"YOU-You-You-YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE! WE'RE OVER! I QUIT! GOOD-BYE AND HAVE A CRAPPY LIFE YOU CHEATING SCUMBAG!" Hatsumi yelled at Dean before she stormed out crying.

She ran down the stairs, ignoring the elevators, then outside, to her apartment. She then grabbed her cell phone and promptly began calling the Paris International Airport for an immediate ticket to Tokyo as soon as possible.

After submitting the ticket, she hung up then began packing her stuff. She threw out all the stuff Dean bought her, but kept that Purple – Silver sequined dress that she wore for her graduation. Then she cried herself to sleep.

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

Phew. Finally that case is over. Now I can get back to relaxing in Tokyo, Shinogu thought to himself. He had also booked a plane ticket to Tokyo that evening tomorrow. Little did he know he wouldn't be getting an exactly normal vacation, when a certain someone was coming home too…

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

Hatsumi was in her apartment doing a double check to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything of importance or to throw out anything else that Dean had given to her. Then, after half an hour of checking, she felt that there was absolutely nothing left, she left the apartment, locked the door, gave the key to the front desk and hailed a cab.

"Bonjour Madame."

"Charles de Gaulle L'aéroport s'il vous plait." (1)

"Oui Madame." (2)

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

"God! I can't believe that he would do that to me!" Hatsumi yelled to no one in particular.

Everyone in the immediate area turned to stare at her, with looks that said, "Are you insane?" One of the workers at the airport came up to Hatsumi and asked her if she was feeling alright, and to not scream in the building.

Hatsumi's cheeks turned scarlet and she apologized hastily. She walked up to the front desk and told the woman working there her name and that she had called earlier to order a one way ticket to Tokyo, Japan. The lady at the front nodded, and checked in her computer. Soon, after 5 minutes, she printed out a ticket for Hatsumi and pointed her to customs.

"Thank you." Hatsumi said, before leaving with her bags. She promptly went through customs and then, finally found a seat outside her terminal.

30 minutes later, an announcement came on, requesting those with tickets to Tokyo, Japan to board their plane now.

Hatsumi stood up, and grabbed her carry-on bag. She made her way to the entrance gate and handed her ticket over to the man ripping them. Then she held up her ticket to check the number and went to find her seat.

She found it and sat down after putting her carry-on bag in the luggage compartment above. After she was settled, a man came up to her.

"Excuse me miss, but would you mind getting up so that I can get to my seat?" He asked.

"Sure no problem… SHINOGU?" Hatsumi screamed at the top of her lungs.

Everyone on the plane turned around and looked at her.

"AHHH It's that young crazy lady from the airport! I knew we should have went to China! You idiot!" the old lady screamed and started to hit her older son with her purse.

"Ow! Ow! Ma! I'm sorry ma! It wasn't my fault! Ow! Ma! Stop!" The son screamed.

Hatusmi stood there, in the middle of the plane, with her cheeks flaming red and shocked.

"Hatsumi? Is that really you, or am I dreaming again?" questioned Shinogu.

"What do you mean dreaming again? Ok, I don't even want to know. But what are you doing here? I thought that you had a case to finish?" Hatsumi aksed.

"I did, but I finished the case yesterday so I'm going home, but what are you doing here? I thought that you were working at Chanel? Or are you going on a trip with Dean." Shinogu said his last sentence with spite.

"Shinogu, I really don't want to talk about it right now, ok. But you were right, Dean is a scumbag, a lowlife and a fucking asshole who SHOULD ROT IN HELL, THAT FUCKING BASTARD!" Hatsumi screamed again, with everyone looking at her with dismay.

"MOM!" A little boy screamed, crying in half tears, choked sobs.

"Sorry!" Hatsumi said to everyone on the plane, and then sat down quickly as possible after Shinogu passed her.

"Heh… we're sitting together for the plane ride. Pretty weird huh?" Shinogu said, in a calm voice.

"Uh?" Oh MY GOD! SHINOGU AND I TOGETHER ON AN AIRPLANE! THIS COULDN'T GET ANY WEIRDER! Hatsumi said with a questionable look. She looked and realized that Shinogu was sitting with her on the airplane. "Uh Shinogu… I'm really sorry for yelling… I guess you could say we broke up. But I don't really want to talk about it anymore…"

'TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE? HATSUMI THIS IS SHINOGU!' Her conscience screamed at her.

For the next eighteen hours, there was nothing but awkward silence between them, and a little bit of small talk. There was also some brief naps throughout the plane ride as well.

Finally, they arrived in Tokyo, Japan and were getting off the plane. Hatsumi noticed everyone else running out quickly pushing the flight attendants out of the way. Guess she made some friends you could say…
