It's pretty addicting, but remember to be safe and if you hunt at night please bring a friend. :3 Enjoy! ~cuptanm0ex

"Stupid Nozomi." Nico grunted as she poured herself a glass of wine

Honoka took it upon herself to drink disregarding what Eli said earlier. Surprisingly enough Eli also started drinking, but not too much of course. That was how everyone saw it till Kotori and Rin teased the blonde about not being able to out drink Honoka. Having to keep her pride, Eli fell for the trick and drank more than what she had planned to drink. Nozomi didn't mind at all of course. In fact, she cheered the blonde on from the sidelines. Maki sighed at the girls and nodded her head.

"You guys.." Maki muttered

"What was that Maki-chan? Are you still upset that I pulled a prank on you?" Nozomi giggled

"N-No!" she replied

Nozomi just giggled and turned her attention back to her, very drunk, fiance. Nico came out from the kitchen and sat beside Maki.

"Aren't you going to stop them?" Nico asked as she sipped her wine

"There'd be no point. They've already started." Maki bluntly said

Nico raised her eye brows as a response and look at the girls. It's hard to believe that they're all friends. They were all so different, but the same. It confused Nico more than anything, but she wouldn't replace this group of friends for the world. Maki slightly glanced at Nico from the corner of her eye and blushed. Did they really almost kiss? She didn't know what got into her and gave her the confidence to agree to the kiss, but whatever it was she cursed it for not finishing its job. Umi and Kotori stood and announced the girls that they would have to head home.

"Awe! I wanted to stay longer Umi-chan. You monster!" Honoka whined

"We have work in the morning. Did you forget? Let's go before it gets too late." Umi scolded

The ex leader pouted in response and waved to the other girls.

"Have a nice night and please drive home safe." Kotori said before she closed the front door.

"Yeah, Kayo-chin and I also have to leave since it's technically a school night for the both of us nya~" Rin added and stood to walk towards the front door

"Congratulations Nico-chan! and good luck with Ame Hime! Try to get an autograph for me." Hanayo quietly said as she closed the door.

It was just Eli, Nozomi, Nico, and Maki left. Maki side eyed Nozomi who remained seated and smirked at Maki.

"Nozooomi! I can't drive." Eli whined

"Oh dear. It seems I have left my driver's license at home. Maki-chan, would it be okay if Eli and I stayed the night?" Nozomi grinned

"No." came the blunt response

"Awe. Don't be such an ass Maki-chaaan." Eli said as she wrapped her arms around the younger girl's neck. Maki could feel the blonde's breath on her neck. She slightly blushed and pushed the older girl back to her finace.

"Maki. You're so mean." Eli said, teary eyed

Maki sighed in defeat and stood.

"Fine. But you're leaving early in the morning. I have things to do in the morning." The scarlet haired girl said

"I'll be taking my leave then." Nico announced as she stood

"Why don't you stay too Nico? Your vision is terrible at night isn't it? Plus you've been drinking. I'm sure Maki-chan wouldn't mind if you slept in her bed." Nozomi smirked at the short girl

"Harasho! Nozomi you're so dirty!" Eli smirked as she kissed her fiance's cheek

"Like hell I'd stay here with you two being so perverted!" the raven haired girl yelled

She then looked at Maki, who was blushing and twirling her hair. Nico stared at the girl in awe. Maki didn't seem to protest. She then thought about the almost kiss. The small girl blushed.

"I'll stay." Nico mumbled

Nozomi smiled and effortlessy lifted Eli in her arms. Maki nodded and guided them to their guest bedroom. Nico following not too far behind. Once reacing the room everyone say their goodnights to each other. Just leaving Maki and Nico. Maki looked at Nico and blushed before walking towards her room. As Maki was closing the door she felt a sudden stop. Turning around she saw Nico standing by the door holding it open from outside.

"What are you doing? You know where your room is at Nico." Maki said, trying to hide the blush that formed on her cheeks

"You don't want me to sleep with you?" Nico barked

"I-I.. I didn't say that. I thought you and Nozomi were joking." she replied

Nico pouted and looked at Maki.

"Stupid Maki!" she yelled before stomping towards her room.

Maki just stood at the door till she heard a door slam. Confused, Maki slowly made her way to the raven haired girl's personal guest room and knocked.

"Nico-chan? Open the door."

Silence

"Nico-chan I know you're in there and you hear me. You just entered the room." she chuckled

Maki could hear a tiny raspberry from behind the door.

"Nico-ch-chan.. Would you like to sleep in my room tonight?" she suddenly blurted out. Realizing what she said Maki instantly regretted it.

Before she decided to run away, Nico slowly opened the door, peeped her head out and glared at Maki.

"Ask me again." she demanded

"I won't ask again! It's embarrassing!" Maki softly yelled

"Hmph." The raven haired girl pouted as she quickly tried to close the door, but was stopped when Maki prevented the door from closing by pushing on the door.

"Fine! Would you like to sleep in my room tonight?" Maki quietly asked

Nico then smiled again opened the door widely. She instantly clung onto Maki and rubbed her cheek with hers. Maki smiled softly at the shorter girl's actions, not trying to pry her off. Sometimes Nico can be a real pain in the ass, along with being a big baby. But that was one of the reasons why Maki fell in love with the older girl. Nico then took Maki's hand and dragged the taller girl to her room.

"Do you like me Maki-chan?" Nico teased

"Of course I don't!" she rejected

"I love you." Nico smiled

Maki just stared at the girl, wide eyed. She didn't know what to say. She was honestly awe strucked. Maki tried to force words out of her, but she mumbled gibberish. Then that's when it happened. Nico hugged the girl and wrapped her arms around the taller girl's neck and peck her lips with Maki.

"Say you love me too." Nico pouted

Maki simply stared at the girl, cheeks rushing heat. She still couldn't comprehend what just happened.

"Jeez Maki! It's not hard to say. Repeat after me. I. Love. You."

The younger girl cupped the older girl's cheeks with both hands and kissed Nico. The kiss lasted about five seconds before the younger girl pulled away.

"I love you Nico-chan." Maki smiled
-

Nozomi yawned as she walked through the empty hallway.

"I wonder which room is Maki's." she said out loud

Deciding to open a door with a big M on it (lol) Nozomi peeked her head in and smiled. On the bed lay two bodies. Maki and Nico had fallen asleep in each others arms. Nico clung onto Maki's with one arm over Maki's body and their legs intertwined along with her head on the scarlet haired girl's shoulder. While Maki's arm was holding onto Nico's from under and her other arm ontop of Nico's that laid on her chest. Nozomi quietly closed the door and sighed of relief.

"It's about damn time." she said out loud and smiled before walking back to her room.
-

Nico stood against the wall of the stadium, tapping her foot anxiously. How could they be late of all days. It was finally the day of the concert. She then thought about what Maki told her earlier that day.

I'm sorry Nico. We have a lot of people coming in today because of the weather. I won't be able to make it to the concert, but I'll see you after okay?

Nico sighed sadly. Of all the people she wanted there, she wanted Maki. But she understands why Maki couldn't make it. Hearing a distant laugh, Nico squinted her eyes towards the laughter and scoffed.

"Sorry Nico-chan. We kinda got lost on the way here." Honoka nervously chuckled

"We're late. The show is starting in twenty minutes!" Nico growled

"It was my fault. I wanted to grab some parfaits on the way here." Eli explained

All the girls nodded. Nico grunted and walked towards the stadium entrance. The stadium was huge. It was almost the size of the dome they once performed in. All the girls gasped and awed as they walked through the stadium and to their seats. After finally settling down, Nico checked her phone for the time and noticed she had a text message from Maki. She smiled and opened the text.

I hope you have a fun time. I'll see you later after the concert. I love you.
Received at 7:13pm

Umi noticed Nico's sudden change of mood and nudged Kotori who instantly turned her head to look at whatever Umi gestured her to look at. She smiled and gave Umi a smile back.

I wish you could've came, but I understand that you couldn't. Good luck with your surgeries, and I WILL be seeing you after the concert so don't plan anything after you get off.
Sent 7:15pm

Maki took her phone out of her pocket and frowned at the text Nico sent her. She was lying. She was lying to Nico and all her friends. Maki hated that she had to lie to the girl she loved, but she didn't have the heart to drag her into the life of a prodigy. If any word goes out that the idol Nico Nii had any attraction for the unknown music prodigy Ame Hime all hell would break loose. Paparazzi everywhere. Rumors, good or bad, would spread. Nico had enough to stress about with her siblings and her career. Maki didn't want to stress the idol out even more.

"Maki-chan. Are you ready? You have to go on in five minutes." Tsubasa said as she handed Maki her half, custom made mask. (Kind of like The Phantom of the Opera mask)

Maki sighed and adjusted her wig and tied it into a pony tail. Lastly, she put on her signature mask and nodded at her manager.

"Hey. It'll be fine. One day." the green eyed woman smiled

Maki rolled her eyes and headed towards the stage and waited to be announced.
-

"Thank you everyone for joining us today! All we ask from you is that you hold your applause till the end of the concert. Thank you once again! Now we present you, Ame Hime!" the hostess announced

Small claps were heard as Maki stepped out to the stage. She walked to the front of the stage and saw her group of friends. Rin and Hanayo gazed at the pianist, while Honoka, Umi and Kotori softly clapped for the pianist. Nico's skin went pale as Maki smiled directly at her. Maki then looked at Nozomi and Eli and instantly went wide eyed. She then quickly turned her head and walked towards the piano and began playing. (A/N: Maki is playing Accel World - Bye Bye) The concert went on for another hour with little breaks here and there. There also a guest appearance at some point of the former leader of A-Rise. Honoka cheered loudly when the idol was done singing. The ex A-Rise member blushed as she exited the stage. Once the concert was over, Nico and Rin were in tears, and the other members cheered loudly. The whole stadium was in a roar as well. Nico pulled out her phone and instantly texted the girl she loved.

You totally missed out on the best concert you'll ever see in your life.
Sent 9:05pm

The younger girl took no time to reply.

I went to your concert once. I think I've already been to the best concert I'll ever see.
Recieved at 9:06pm

Nico blushed and put her phone back in her pocket.

Idiot. she thought to herself.

After changing into her regular clothes Maki takes her phone out and dials a number. After three rings the other person picks up.

"Hello?" The voice says.

"Where are you?" Maki bluntly says

"My, aren't you a bit moody Maki-chan. Your concert was very touching." the voice responds with a laugh

"Nozomi. Where. Are. You." Maki asked again, this time with an irritated tone

"I'm out back. I've sent Eli and the others to a nearby cafe where you'll be joining us right?" Nozomi teased

"I'm headed towards you. Don't move anywhere." Maki barked

Maki hangs up the phone and rushes towards the back of the stadium. Her mind racing with many questions pleading for answers. She roughly opens the door to see Nozomi standing against the wall, cigarrette in between her fingers.

"If it isn't a surprise. Ame Hime." She smiles

I DO NOT REGRET LETTING MAKI HAVE A CORNY MOMENT. SHE NEEDS THAT OKAY? Anyways, if you guys were wondering why I've been posting later than my usual time it's because I've been hunting for Pokemon till like 3am. lol. Also, Ame Hime's attire is black hair that's tied into a ponytail along with a mask that resembles The Phantom of the Opera kind of mask. She also wears a woman tux with a deep red bow tie. Imagine Maki-chan in a suit... It's too adorable. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! It took a lot of thought and time to write this. If you have any questions feel free to PM me or review! I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. Till next time! ~cuptanm0ex
