Okay, SORRY ABOUT THE WAIT! I have BASKETBALL every single day cept Sunday so that's my sleepy day…twas cancelled today though so HOORAH!
Whole Again
I hummed merrily as I spun around in my new stage costume.
"Takashi! It's my opening concert after a while, I'M NERVOUS! What if no body likes my singing anymore? What if I choke? WHAT IF KENT IS THERE?" I squeal in utter embarrassment.
"So what if that ass is here?" Takashi, an arrogant look on his face.
"W-well…I guess I don't really care now, but before that's all I thought about." I giggled, "But I guess there are always other guys to think about, right Takashi?" I giggle again at his red face before I hear the intercom buzz on.
"Now, the moment you've all been waiting for." A loud booming voice quieted the crowd, "The return of the one, the only, Princess AI!"
The audience erupted wildly as the music began, My classic "Suicide Ride" Beginning.
Alone doesn't hurt anymore
The pain's too strong to feel it
Alone doesn't work anymore
There's no one left to heal it
If I turn my back on it
And walk away from this place
Then maybe someone will find
These dried-up tears on my face
The voice vibrated off the walls as the crowd sang along to the music, screaming in happiness.
Too many voices
None of them mine
They're far too loud
To hear my pain inside
If I could leave this world
Leave it all behind
Would they all shut up
And watch my Suicide…Ride?
Just as the last note to the chorus was played a loud banging could be heard backstage.
I turn around and Look to Stage left, worried about what happened.
Is Takashi all right? I find myself thinking, not even realizing it.
The crowd screams as another explosive bang is heard on the roof of the stadium.
I scream when I'm grabbed from behind.
"Ai, come this way!" I am pulled off stage and out the back down.
By the time the person pulling me stops I am out of breathe.
"Ai, what the hell are you doing back?" Screamed the person.
"Uh…" I look up into the familiar face, "Hikaru!" I screech before jumping in his arms, "Long time no see!" I cry, smiling.
"Ew, get off woman!" He yelled pushing me away.
"How ya been doing?" I ask, forgetting he was Kent's roommate.
"How do you think? Since you've gotten back Kent's been in a bad mood! You totally ruined him! Leave! It's not like anyone wants you here anyways!" He yelled at me.
The tears well up, my face has a expression of shock etched into it.
"Good bye, Ai." He said before turning away a walking off.
My face stings with tears as I turn in the opposite direction and run. Just run. The wind whipping my hair behind as I flee from the sadness that threatens to crash into me like a speeding car.
I trip over a bump in the side walk and the wave hits me. The anguish envelops my soul and I sit there crying.
The only thought that is running through my mind is I want Takashi.
I don't know why, but he seems to be on my mind a lot more lately.
"Ai!" I heard a yelled down the street.
Next thing I knew I had stood up and jumped into Takashi's arms.
"Takashi! Please tell me I can stay! Tell me I'm wanted! Oh Takashi, tell the truth!" I screamed into his chest, pounding my fist against him softly.
"Ai, what happened?" He asked calmly.
"He said- he said no body wanted me here, he said I should just leave and never come back! Is it true? Does no one care if stay or leave?" I push away from him.
"Ai, I care." He pulled me back again, "I need you." He said.
My eyes go wide and I blink away the tears.
I pull away again, but just to pull him into a passionate kiss.
"Takashi…" I sigh into his chest before passing out in his arms.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Uh…" I moan rubbing my aching head as I once again stare up at the ceiling of Takashi's apartment.
I smile and sit up and look around for Takashi.
The clock on the cable box glow's 6:30 AM and I figure he's still asleep.
Laying back down I try and remember how I got here this time.
An image flashes into my vision.
"Ai, I care," He pulled me back again, "I need you." He said.
My eyes go wide and I blink away the tears.
I pull away again, but just to pull him into a passionate kiss.
"Takashi…"
My face gets warm as I remember the night's events, I KISSED TAKASHI!
My eyes get wet as I realize that this happened with Kent too, but this time was different. It felt different.
"Ai, you up?" A male's voice found it's way into my thoughts.
"Y-yes." I whisper.
He walks over and sits in the chair next to the couch, "How ya doin?" He asked, I could see the worry in his eyes.
I give him a big smile, "Never better!" I cry.
"I glad." He nods and grins.
"Hey, Takashi?"
"Hm?"
"What exactly did you mean by 'I need you?'" I ask, my face turning red.
"Uh…" He looks away.
"Did you just say that to keep your diva?" I ask.
"No! Never! I just…Its just that…" He shook his head, not able to get out the words.
"Just that what?" I question him.
"Well, Ai…" He stuttered, "Ai, I-I…" Once again the words getting caught in his throat.
"Takashi, you're funny!" I giggled and stood up glancing at the clock, "Hey, I'm hungry, take me out to lunch!" I smiled and grabbed his hand, pushing him from the room so I could change.
"Takashi, come on! Time to go!" I opened the front door and skipped down the hall followed shortly by Takashi who's face was stained red.
I hoped into the convertible and smiled brightly as Takashi walked around the car and got in.
"Where to Princess?" He asked me.
"Ummm, I don't know, I haven't been here in a while so why don't you choose?" I say, looking at him as he goes into a deep state of thought.
"Okay, I got nothing." He said, shaking his head and starting the car with a loud rumble.
"Why don't we just drive around until we find someplace to stop?" I said, looking at him again. I could never look at him enough, why?
"Okay, your call." He said, pulling out of the parking lot and driving down the main road.
People stopped and starred, why wouldn't they? After all it was the hottest diva in the world and the owner of the most popular talent agency in the world, you couldn't help but stare.
"Takashiiiiiiiiiii!" Cried a girl from the sidewalk, waving madly.
"Look, it's AI!!!" Called another from farther up the street.
"Oh my god are they dating?!" Asked someone from behind us.
"Geez, they act like no body has seen us together in public before." I rolled my eyes before turning and smiling at the fans.
One in particular caught my eye. He starred right at me, unmoving, a small glare on his face. Kent.
"Ai. We probably should eat lunch back at the condo, it could be dangerous to stop." He said, looking worried as a parade of fans started following the car.
"No. I wanna eat out. I don't it will be that bad." I answer and smile, "Let's go there!" I point behind him and he looks at a small burger joint.
"Okay, don't blame me if we both get jumped by rabid fan girls." He warned.
"I know, I know." I said, smiling as I jump out of the car and rush through the door of the small building.
"Ai! Wait for me!" He yelled after me.
"AIIIIIIIII!" He was pushed to the side by a large group of girls all trying to squeeze their way into the restaurant at once.
"Hey, Hey, Hey!" He called out loudly and girls stopped to stare at him.
I watched him push his hair back, spiking it up.
"Takashiiiiii!" They screeched, glomping him and hugging, begging for an autograph or a date.
"Girls, what are you doing with my date?" I come out a smirk on my face.
"Princess!" They stood up straight looking guilty as they glanced nervously down at Takashi's crumpled body.
"Takashi get up." I say, smiling down at him and reaching a hand out.
He reaches up and the moment he grabs a hold of my hand a spark of electricity shocks my whole body.
"Ai, what's the matter?" He asks in response to the shiver that runs down my spine.
"N-nothing, It's just kind of cold, I didn't realize it was February." I lied through my teeth, giving him a believable smile and helping him stand up.
"Here." He said, pulling off his coat and laying it gently across my slender shoulders.
"Thanks."
"Hey, you wanna go back?" He asked, rubbing a spot on his head where a considerably large lump was forming.
I smile sweetly at him and begin to walk toward the car, "Yeah."
/\/\//\/\/\/\/\//\/\/\//\
"Hey Takashi," I say as he drops me off at my door, "Thanks."
"For what?" He asks, watching me snuggle into the oversized jacket I still wore.
"Oh, nothing." I answered, winking at him and closing the door to his surprised and bewildered looking face.
I giggled to myself before a large yawn overcame me, "I guess sleeping on a couch doesn't do me any justice." I shake my head, "But I wouldn't mind it like that."
Okay I think I finally Finished this chapter…it may be a bit short, but I think it is a little longer then my others since I worked extra hard on it.
