Whole Again
My eyes open to a bright light shining through a pink canopy.
I was back in my own condo on HTA property.
I sigh and stand as I hear a knock on the door.
I open it a crack to see Yoshi standing there, a huge, bright smile on his face.
"Welcome back, Princess!" He smiled even wider, if possible, and pushes on the door, opening it the rest of the way.
Takashi stood behind him, still finding it hard to look me straight in the eye. Why won't he look at me? I think as Yoshi enters and Takashi follows.
"Would you like somehting to eat, Princess?" Yoshi walked into the kitchen and began to dig through the food.
"Nah, I wanna talk to someone. Can I leave just for a little while? You can go with me so I won't get hurt..." I add as an after thought to Takashi's look.
"Okay, If I'm there." Takashi agreed and I began to jump up and down in excitment.
About an hour later, we were on our way to Shinjuku University Library,
"Why do you want to see him again?" Takashi asks as my limo pulls to a stop infront of the college.
"Because, I want to confirm something." Why does he look so worried?, "What are you worried about?"
"Nothing, It's nothing." He said a little too quickly for my tastes, but I decided to drop it as he opened the door and helped me out.
My short shirt was ripped at the bottom and my belly button shirt showed off my curves perfectly.
I followed Takashi through the courtyard to the entrance to the University Library.
Takashi walked in before I did and I heard Daisuke squeal. I couldn't help but giggle as I made my way through the door.
The familiar eyes met mine from behind the counter, "Hey Daisuke." I said in a cheery voice.
I walk up next to Takashi as link my arm with his. I hear him gulp and turn away to look down a row of books.
"You'll let us in, won't you?" You give him a flirtatious look and watch him tomato red face nod.
I lead Takashi through the rows of books and stopped when I heard a familiar voice humming by the books on angels. The books I wanted to look at.
"Shh." I turn to Takashi to find him starring at me through dazed eyes, "Hey, Takashi, What's the matter?" I whisper.
He shakes his head, throwing himself from his transe and blushing madly, "Sorry." He says loudly.
"Takashi!" I yell at him, before covering my mouth and trying to will Kent to ignore it.
I heard a footstep behind me and turn to face Kent.
"Ai...how did you get in here?" He glared at me.
"Daisuke let me in, after all, All I had to do is look at him and he goes crazy." I push my hair behind my shoulder and glare right back at him, "Not like it matters anyways, I'm not here for you. I'm here to look something up in a book I can only find here." I push past him and go straight to the angels section.
I pull a book out and open it to a page somewhere in the middle. The Legend of Princess Ai. It was a book written a long time ago, just a fiction book. I knew about it in Ai Land but had no power to get hold of it. It was discontinued when I became a star and this was the last one. I could feel it. It was going to help me.
"Ai, I have to tell you to leave, you have no student ID, you are not supposed to be in here." Kent grabs my arm and begins to pull me towards the door.
"How dare you touch me! You never cared I was here without an ID before!" I yank my arm out of his grasp and begin reading again. Takashi comes up behind him.
"Kent, you are not to touch HTA's diva. She has the power to be in here if she wants to be." Takashi watched him leave before coming up beside me and looking over my shoulder, "Wow, this book is like your life story eh? Is it a biography?"
"No. Its a fiction book. It lasts till the death of the character Princess Ai. I was wondering, if it would help me with what happens next." I look at him in the face, the book still between us, "Thank you for taking care of Kent for me, he's different you know? Sometimes, when I think about it, I start getting upset with him, He said I would always be the one he loved. I wasn't even gone a month and he already hates me, for leaving or for coming back. I don't really know why. It's depressing."
He simply nods and beckons me to continue reading. I smile and lean over the book to kiss him on the cheek. Little do I know, Kent is watching from behind a shelf, not very far away, "Thanks Takashi."
I yawned and opened my eyes to the sound of the intercom saying the library was closing. I stood up hurriedly and looked around for Takashi whom I found asleep in the chair on the other side of the wide table.
I shook him awake and told him it was time to leave.
"Ai...Did you find what you were looking for?" He asked.
"No. No luck." I didn't find the way to go home. I desperatly needed to leave here. I didn't want to go, but Ai Land needs a ruler, and that ruler is me.
"Let's go Takashi, I'm tired." I tell him and he stands and leads me to the limo outside.
"Bye Ai! Come again!" I heard Daisuke yell at Kent for hitting him when he said bye to me.
I turn on Kent and glare at him, "Kent, Don't be rude to Daisuke because you have a problem with me, got it?" I yell and turn away, climbing into the limo.
I yawned again and leaned my head back against the seat. I felt my eyelids droop and my head flop to the side and land on something hard. Too bad I'm too tired to care.
There you go!
