Scarlet Phoenix

Chapter 3: Bumping with the stars

Last time…

After twenty minutes of running and turning, they finally managed to loose the fans and reporters that had followed them. They were running down an empty street and Tamahome, the one in front, was about to turn around a corner he bumped into someone from the other side.

He managed to not loose his footing but the person he bumped into fell butt first on the pavement.

"Ouxh!" a girl with long, black hair exclaimed. "Oww…that hurts!"

"S-sorry! Are you alright?" Tamahome asked.

"Aiya! Are you alright?! What happened? Are you hurt?" a female voice asked, worried.

A girl with long, pale blue hair and light brown eyes wearing a simple white long-sleeved dress with matching white sandals stepped up from around the corner. She bent down and inquired her brown-eyed companion, who was sitting on the pavement, if she was hurt.

"Are you sure? We can call a doctor if you want," the blue haired girl insisted.

"I'm fine, I'm fine," the raven-haired girl answered.

"But still---" the other girl said but was interrupted by Tamahome's question.

"Excuse me for interrupting but, are you alright, miss?"

The two girls looked up, surprised. 'On my god, he looks exactly like…' the raven-haired girl thought.

"Are you alright? Here, let me help you get up," Tamahome repeated as he extended his hand to help her stand up. The girl took it, still preoccupied by her thoughts. She dusted her Capri pants and turned towards her friend.

"I'm fine. I'm not hurt. Nothing's broken and I'm still in one piece," she said firmly.

The other girl let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness…" she whispered softly.

"I'm sorry! It was my entire fault; we were in such a hurry that I wasn't even looking where I was going. I'm really sorry!" Tamahome apologized profusely.

"I-It's fine. I also apologize too. It was also my fault, we were also in a hurry and I wasn't paying attention either." The girl said, embarrassed.

"Umm…excuse me, are you hurt sir? Nothing injured? Are you two really all right?" the other girl asked, worried.

"I'm fine." They both answered at the same time, they looked at each other in surprise then they quickly turned their head to hide the blush that had crept up their cheeks.

"You two are so cute," she remarked while chuckling softly.

"Hey man! Let's go already!" Tasuki complained.

Nuriko hit his head and growled. "You idiot! Where are your manners?!"

The blue-haired girl laughed softly while watching them with amused eyes. "Your charm has yet to run out, chérie." she teased.

The other girl glared at her and hissed, "Be quiet!"

The blue-haired girl wagged her finger in front of her friend playfully and remarked, "Temper, temper! Watch out, chérie, you wouldn't want to blow an artery, right?"

'You are going to be SO dead later!' the raven-haired girl thought. The blue-haired girl seemed to sense her thoughts so she quickly added, "Ehehehe…we better go now. We're already late as we are; we wouldn't want them to worry about us now, do we?"

The other girl nodded in agreement before turning towards Tamahome and apologizing again before running off and disappearing around the corner followed by the blue-haired girl.

"Okay…that was weird…" Nuriko commented.

"Yeah…" Tamahome agreed.

"So what? Let's just go already! I don't want to be chased by a bunch of women again!" Tasuki snapped.

"You're such a nagger!" Nuriko retorted, rolling his eyes in the process.

"Alright, alright, we wouldn't want our dearly beloved Tasuki to cry now do we? Let's go before he does that." Tamahome remarked teasingly.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Tasuki bellowed.

"I said you're a cry-baby," Tamahome retorted.

"WHY YOU LITTLE--" Tasuki snarled but was interrupted by Nuriko.

"Enough! You idiots! You were so loud that you attracted attention to us! Look!" he hissed as he pointed in the direction of a squealing mob of fans running towards them.

"AHHH!!!" Tamahome and Tasuki screamed as they made a mad dash across the streets. Nuriko rolled his eyes in exasperation as he too, ran away.
