((-sitting at ice-cream parlour with Kyoko- hellloooo! Riku-chan here! Wow, I can't believe I got reviews…I'm so happy! (T-T). ooh! Today, in science, we were talking about density and mass and stuff, and we started to talk about gravity, and gravitational pulls. And stuff like that, and my science teacher wrote up the word 'Gravition' on the board. To everyone else, it didn't mean anything, but to me, it made me think of, well, gravitation, and this fic! Gotta give a thanks to AmoreBlack and insanehumor, who actually, unintentionally, gave me great plot ideas. And to Saint Germain, who gave me my first review EVER! –hands out cookies- thank you!
Anyway, best get this started, huh? Heehee, I'm just so happy! I'll post chapter three once it's written, and I get more reviews. No point writing, if no one's reading, right? Well, see ya! –smile-))
--------Disclaimer--------
-sitting under tree with Kyoko- Kyoko?
–Kyoko: yeah?-
why don't I own gravitation?
–Kyoko: because you're a loser, and your not maki murakami, you're poor, and you're a loser-
you said loser twice.
–Kyoko: and your point being? Only makes it more true-
stop being mean to me, or I'll kill you off!
–Kyoko: like you'd have the guts-
-gives Kyoko menacing glare- your pushing your luck, missy.
-------chapter 2-----------
They went to a small café a few blocks away. Shuichi suggested going to the one outside the building, but Kyoko advised him against it. A lot of people in her building would be going on lunch soon, and she said it was best not to be around here, if he didn't want a mob chasing him.
Plus, she thought the coffee tasted like piss.
They sat at a small table inside, Kyoko with a cappuccino and a muffin, Shuichi with tea, and a piece of chocolate cake.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about, Shuichi?" Kyoko asked. Shuichi looked down at his feet, he really didn't want to have this conversation now.
"Um, did you go to my high school, Kyoko?" he asked, and Kyoko knew instantly what this was about. He obviously figured out who she was.
"So you remember me now, huh?" Kyoko said, with a smile on her face, to show Shuichi everything was okay. Shuichi looked up at her, and nodded. "I've got to say this, I'm not proud of what I did back then. I'm sorry, Shuichi," now it was Kyoko's turn to turn her face away.
"It's okay, Kyoko," Shuichi told her, "but, I just have to make sure, you're well, not doing it again," Kyoko's head snapped back up.
"What!" she exclaimed. She stifled a laugh, as she looked at Shuichi's embarrassed face. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Shuichi, but I'm over you, and have been for years,"
"Really?" Shuichi asked.
"Uh-huh," Kyoko said reassuringly, resting her head on laced fingers. Shuichi sighed with relief, and smiled at Kyoko.
"Good," he said. "So, how have you been, anyway, what have you been doing since high school? You've lost a lot of weight,"
"Why thank you," Kyoko said. "Well, after high school, I went to collage where I studied journalism. I only left collage last year, but once I left, I applied for internship at my job, and they hired me. I've been climbing the ladder there ever since. What about you, Shuichi, you're the lead singer in a top band, lover to the famous novelist, Eiri Uesugi. You're doing real well for yourself,"
"Yeah," Shuichi said, embarrassed. "I- wait, how did you know Yuki's real surname?" Shuichi asked. 'Oh, crap…' Kyoko though. 'How to get out of this one…'
"Oh, I interviewed your Mr. Yuki once, and learned that Uesugi was his real surname, and it simply slipped out this time," Kyoko said, covering her nervousness with a laugh, and hoping that Shuichi bought it.
"Oh! You interviewed Yuki, before?" he asked. Kyoko sighed with relief, thankful for Shuichi's dumb nature.
"Uh, yes, he was the first person I ever interviewed," she told him. "I enjoyed interviewing him, I'm a big fan of his also,"
"Really?" Shuichi asked, purple eyes alight with interest. Kyoko nodded, taking a sip of her cappuccino.
"Wow…small world…" Shuichi said.
"Well, that was before he was with you Shuichi. Not too long before actually, about a month or so, I'd say,"
"Still, small world," Shuichi said, taking a bite of his cake, and drinking the last of his tea. Shuichi's cell phone began to ring.
"Moshi moshi," he said, answering the phone.
"Shuichi," said the voice of his lover on the other line.
"Hey, Yuki!" Shuichi said excitedly. "What is it? Is something wrong?"
"No, you damn brat, I was wondering where the hell you were, my manuscript is finished, and I sent Tatsuha to collect you, but you never said where you were going. So where are you?" Yuki barked down the phone. Shuichi told Yuki where he was, and the novelist almost immediately hung up, but not before Shuichi got a chance to tell him 'I love you'.
"I see that was Yuki on the other line?" Kyoko asked, and Shuichi nodded.
"Yes, he was wondering where I was, coz he finished his manuscript. He's sent his little brother to collect me," Shuichi explained. "So I guess, I'll be going soon," at the mention of Eiri Yuki's little brother, Kyoko thought 'Tatsuha Uesugi. That might be bit of a problem…'
Just as Kyoko finished her cappuccino and muffin, and was about to excuse herself before Tatsuha arrived, someone from behind them "Shuichi!" Shuichi and Kyoko turned around to see a tall youth with black hair, running up to the singer, a motorcycle chained nearby.
"Shuichi," he said, reaching their table. "Come on, man, I don't think Aniki will take much more waiting,"
"Oh, hey Tatsuha, you sure were quick, yeah, we better go," Shuichi said. Kyoko just prayed he'd forget she was here, and not go through with the needless introduction. To her dismay, he did.
"Oh, Tatsuha, this is Kyoko Oohira, Kyoko, this is Tatsuha Uesugi, Yuki's little brother," Shuichi said. Kyoko looked at the teen for the first time since he arrived. Tatsuha flashed a smile at her, but after awhile, his eyes beamed with recognition. Returning to his normal, flirtatious self, Tatsuha walked over to stand beside Kyoko's chair.
"Haven't I seen you before?" Tatsuha asked, knowing well he was right. He had seen her before, and most likely more.
"I don't think so, you must be mistaking me for someone else, Mr. Uesugi," Kyoko said, throwing Tatsuha a quick glare, before turning it into a smile. Tatsuha smirked at sight of the glare, and scribbled something down on a napkin.
"Here's my number, babe, call it sometime, I'm staying at my brother's apartment," he ended with a wink, before turning to Shuichi. "Come on Shu, we better go now," he said, walking off.
"See you, Kyoko! Stop by NG sometime, I'd like to talk some more!" Shuichi said cheerfully, following Tatsuha to his motorcycle. Kyoko watched them leave, before looking down at the number on the napkin.
'He's staying at his brother's apartment, huh? Hmmm, and so is Shuichi…' she thought to herself, pocketing the napkin, and picking up her belongings, to return to work. 'Maybe I should give him a call, it was real fun last time…'
((what did ya'll think of that one? It's a bit shorter than the last one, but it's still good, right? RIGHT? I know it's not –cries- please review! Then, as I said, I'll post chapter three. Well, I'll have to write it, but, you get the idea! Please review! They make me happy!))
