Previously in Chapter 4:
Sana touched her cheek, because she could tell that her face was turning red.
Chapter 5:
"Omigod… I fell for his trick again, just like those times in the 6th grade!" Sana squealed angrily into her pillow.
"1-2-3! Let's go! I can't believe he kissed me again! (I can't believe he kissed me again) I remember that he stole my first kiss! (I remember that he stole my first kiss) ………" Sana's singing ended to a halt as she thought of Akito's kiss at the park just an hour ago.
Sana touched her cheek again. Her hand shook as she fell onto her large bed, twirling her hair in her fingers.
"KyaAaAaAaAaAa! Worrying over this won't help the studio or the drama…I'll just forget about…yea, I'll just forget all about it…" Sana fell into a deep sleep, holding onto Akito's necklace that said "Property of Akito Hayama".
On the other side of Sana's bedroom door…
"WaAaAaAaAaAa, Misako, can I please have your manuscript? PLEASE?!" Onda begged Mama and chased after her, driving in her mini red car, with tears in his eyes.
Rei sat in front of Sana's door, peeking in every once in a while to make sure she wasn't going to stay up all night like the past few nights and Shimura was cleaning the house, telling Misako to be careful when driving her car in the house.
Asako was there as well sitting next to the overly worried Rei, telling him that Sana would fall asleep and that he didn't need to worry about it.
Everything was fine at the Kurata's house.
Sigh, everything seems A-Ok…
Akito looked out of his window with his broach in his hand.
Sana probably thinks that I'm still perverted… if she thinks that then she hasn't changed one bit and will stay that way until I confess to her… I sometimes wish she would just understand the fact that I…
There was a knock at the door, and Natsumi's head popped in.
"Aki (rubbed off from Fuka when she came to his house to study when Akito and Fuka were still dating), go to sleep, please… I wanna have sometime alone with Satoshi! (her new husband…yea they're newly weds)" Natsumi pleaded with Akito.
"Fine, but I'm not going to sleep. I'll just stay in my room…ok, Natsumi?" Akito said balancing his broach on his head.
"That's good enough for me… Also, stop calling me Natsumi, call me oneechan, from now on!" Natsumi said, with one hand on her hip and one pointing at Akito.
Ok now she's asking for too much…Akito scratched his head after letting the broach fall off his head.
"I just remembered something! You and Sana-chan are in the same drama, right?" Natsumi said, clasping her hands together, remembering the hyper and always cheerful Sana.
Akito just sat on his bed, looking out of his window at the never-ending sky full of twinkling stars.
"Oo, tell Sana that I said hi, ok, Aki?" Natsumi squealed like a teenager even though she was 21 (a/n: I have no idea how old she really is, so I made it up).
"Shouldn't you get back to your sweet Satoshi about now or else he'll get mad at you," Akito said, looking at Natsumi lazily and irritated.
"Huh? O right I forgot that I got married since you live with me and not dad in America! I felt like I was still in highschool! Ok then, bye and good night!" Natsumi giggled
"…" Weirdo sis... Always getting on my nerves even though she's already married…
I think Akito's doing fine too! Ok now my job for today is over…good night…yawn…
The Next Day
"HEY, AKITO!" Sana yelled while pressing the Akito's button on her broach and running at him at the same time.
Sana skidded to a stop in front of Akito. Hm… she's acting again...
"Sana," Akito said, pushing her onto the couch, "Drop the act…"
"Huh?" Sana asked and then got out her red hammer and smacked Akito's head, "I'm trying to save my act for the drama, baka…"
Akito let go of Sana and walked into the studio with his cheetah ears and tails and his hands in his pockets. Whatever you say, Sana…whatever you say…
Scene 3: (a/n: Miri is Sana, Kyo is Akito, and Dai-chi is Natsume)
"EH? K-Kyo?" Miri sputtered dropping her bag, "S-shouldn't you be at school?"
"You too runaway Miri," Kyo said sticking out his tongue at Miri, dropping the book he was reading.
"Hm… what's this?" Miri asked picking up his book.
"Hey, give it back! It's mine!" Kyo stammered as Miri smacked his head with her red hammer while taking a look at the cover.
The cover was decorated in red velvet and had golden edges surrounding the title which read, "The Unknown Chronicles of the Twilight Princess of Oz".
Miri gently touched the cover with her fingers, "Where'd you find this book?"
"Um… the library… now give it back!" Kyo declared, snatching the book from under Miri's hand.
"Wow, can you please tell me the story, please! It'll help me with my own writing!" Miri begged as her eyes grew sparkly as she fell to her knees.
"Um… you write?" Kyo asked her, tilting his head.
"Of course, even though I'm not famous yet, I'll get there! I know it!" Miri said dreaming about the future where her dreams would come true.
"Hey then why don't you write your story at my place, because I want to read it first…of course if it's any good, that is," Kyo said quietly, scratching his head lightly, looking down at the strange girl.
"EH?! Who would want to stay at your place? Plus my parents would find me… we were the best of friends, a loOoOoOoOoOoOongGgGgGgGgGgGg time ago, remember?" Miri exclaimed, standing back up and dusting her pants with her hands and then crossing her arms.
"Of course how could I forget the annoying brat who would steal my crayons, and justify your crime with 'that's what friends are for!' and all of the retarded pranks you would do to all of the maids and the butlers… then you would blame the whole prank on my and once again justify the act with 'that's what friends are for!'" Kyo said exaggerating on the part 'that's what friends are for' throwing his hands up in the air for more emphasis.
"Then why do you want me to stay with you?" Miri asked tilting her head to the side and tapping a finger on her chin, obviously confused.
"You're still really dense aren't you? But there's really no important reason… Plus my parents will be in America for at least 3 or so years so we'll be fine!" Kyo cleared putting an arm around Miri's shoulder and walking away into the sunset.
"Hey what about my stuff, everything is stile at my apartment! HEY!!" Miri screamed in Kyo's ear, hitting him with her red hammer.
"I'll send someone over there to get your stuff, sheesh…" Kyo remarked, his arm still around Miri's shoulder.
Scene finished
"Akito, you can stop putting your arm over my shoulders," Sana said, slipping out from under Akito's arm and gracefully skipping back to the crew.
"Hm… she's acting like nothing ever happened again... Usually she would've killed me and would spaz out about it all day today..." Akito spoke to himself quietly, his cheetah ears and tail popped up again as he walked back to his director, Miki, who was calling out his name.
