So, here I am! .
Please enjoy another installment of Love Written In The Stars.
(Side note: I have a poll on my profile regarding a new story, if ever I'll make one. It's choosing the OC. So, you might wanna check that out. That's all! :p whoever wins the poll will be Yusei's next partner for my new fic if ever. That's all. XD So, far it's a competition between a new OC, and Hikari Yuki from The Heart of The Crimson Dragon series. So, if you want to make a difference please vote!)
(IMPORTANT NOTE: Every information that will be laid out for now on, is definitely not exactly definite and true as they are just guesses for I have no access to the real stuff. Please, bear with me for it is needed for this story.)

What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay

Ring Ring Ring

*Hey, Nate, Arthur here.*
*You finally got it?*
*Everything to be exact. After all, since he was the Duel King and also considered the hero of Neo Domino City, it was actually easier than expected.*
*Really? Thanks this will help me very much.*
*I really don't know how it will help you as a manager, however as you've said I also added the information of Jack Atlas in there. So, just check your email. If you need anything further, just ring.*
*Thanks Arthur.*
*Click*
Nate just stared at his phone with his teeth grinning widely, hiding himself in the corners of the dark fire exit of Seika Dreams Studios*. He left the trio along with Rika on the dressing room, as they finally prepared for the shoot.
Why would he leave the girl with a pack of three men?
Well, with the way those three people are he definitely knows for sure that they're definitely not going to do anything at her at all. Plus, he can watch anything going on there anyway with his watch that is actually also a spy cam.
He turned it on only to see the three guys waiting patiently outside the changing room, just like the true gentlemen that they are. Although, he can't help but laugh at the way the wild-haired man keep on blabbering his mouth on the two who's obviously irritated with his ramblings, probably about his star.
'Yup, everything is going well there.'
Finally, he turned to his pen-like thing, which in truth is actually a holo-pen that is like a mini computer that can access the internet via wi-fi. He was quick on his fingers as he quickly browse towards the internet, opened his email and finally accessed the files:
Name: Yusei Fudo
Age: 19
Height: 5"6
Weight: 149 pounds
Hair: Black with Yellow highlights
Current Marital Status: Single
'Perfecto' He exclaimed in his thoughts, the moment his eyes landed on such word. He was actually ready to stop the moment he read that one single word. After all, isn't it the most important word to find on someone that you need to be someone else's lover? But, then again he made a quick glance to the rest of the information laid on to him.
'Yusei Fudo, Fortune Cup champion, currently the Duel King, friends with Senator Izayaoi's daughter: Aki. Grew up in an orphanage in Satelite along with Jack Atlas the previous Duel king. He was also the son of the late Hakase Fudo, the lead Researcher of the Ener-D system. However, presently a repair man, and is being recruited by the Director-in-charge Yeager to be a Research Scientist of Neo Domino City. Like father like son.' He thought, never really browsed through all the tiny details.
'He seems to have a nice background. He may haven't been well-off at first, but just looking at his current status, he seems to have a bright future ahead of him. Hmmm, nice.' Then he finally moved on to the next file.
Name: Jack Atlas
Age: 21
Height: 5"8
Weight: 155 pounds
Hair: Blonde
Current Marital Status: In a relationship with Carly Nagisa, a not so famous reporter.
'Trash' He simply muttered, as he immediately deleted the file, and didn't bothered with the rest of the details. 'What a waste, he seems to be a good guy. But, oh well. However, this doesn't mean that I'll go for that wild-haired kid. I mean, surely he has the hots for my star, but I don't think he'll be able to grant Rika the well-off life that's meant for her. After all, he is nothing but a delivery guy, who's about to be recruited by Sector Security. Yes, Rika needs a man that can stay by her side and NOT die on her.'
Then suddenly a loud sound came from his watch totally surprising him.
*Achoo* He quickly stared at his watch, only to see the devil himself let out a sneeze.
'Speaking of the devil himself.'
"Aqua! It's time for the shoot for your music video!"
'Whoops, time to get back before she notices that I've been gone for long! Now, time to set the plan in action.'
It didn't take long as all of them finally arrived at the studio room with all the lights focused on the set for the scene of Rika's new music video.
Rika was simply clad in a blue crop sleeveless top, denim shorts, long light blue fingerless gloves that's reaching beyond her elbows, and long blue boots that reaches up to her knee, with her signature aqua droplet shaped earrings on her ears, and aqua droplet-shaped hair clip clipped on the side of hair. As Crow would put it, she just looked so 'awesome'.
She was just standing near the set with the Director advising her on what to do, while the trio just simply watched quietly on the sides. Well, except for one person, who had its eyes filled with such starstruck glow and glimmer, his grinning mouth almost drooling.
Jack was somewhat in an irritated mood, as he found himself standing beside his drooling friend. With arms crossed, and his right index finger slightly tapping at his left arm. I mean, after all the minutes he'd spent here in the studio, it was nothing but a mere preachings of his wild-fiery-haired friend about how great Aqua is. Somehow feeling heavily sick and tired of it already.
Somehow Jack can't believe how Yusei can handle himself so calmly and so composed that he got to hand it to him for still keeping his cool. Well, he wasn't really the person directly being preached on by Crow for after all, he was busy talking to star himself ever since she got dressed until now.
Yeah, he just happens to be the only one who's ONLY THERE.
'Ugh, I'd rather see Carly right now. I mean, sure she can be irritating, but even if, it is the kind of frustration that can make you just laugh at the end of everything due to her own silliness. Definitely not like HIM.' Jack just wiped his hand over his head, which he slightly shook.
'This will definitely be a VERY LONG DAY.'
"You okay?" Yusei inquired, as he gave the blond a worried look. "You seem to be in a very bad mood."
"Way to say the obvious." Jack sighed. "But, I'm okay."
'Yeah, it's just one LONG freaking Day. Maybe I'll get back on Crow by making me buy unlimited coffee from Cafe La Green for ONE WHOLE WEEK. Yes, definitely a nice way to be compensated.'
Everyone was definitely busy doing their own thing, especially a certain blond who has a few of the staff men in the studio room form a circle around him—more like forming a small collusion than a discussion.
"You guys got everything?" He asked, eying each and everyone of them, who just gave him a skeptic and puzzled look.
"Yeah, we got it all set up now, but care to explain why?" One finally dared question him.
"You'll see."
"Okay, everyone first take for the first scene! Action!"
With that, the room now became filled with music, as Rika stood in front of the green screen behind her, and slowly got herself absorbed into the music, as her body moved along with the beat.
The dance, or rather the song was all about a girl, searching for true love, and beckoning love at the same time. As she placed her right hand on her chest, her face staring ever so sadly on the camera, as if that was the love that she was searching and beckoning for. Her turquoise eyes pleaded to it with her hand reaching towards it, along with her mouth singing those ever so sad lyrics.
It was just so heartfelt.
It may be just a simple shoot of a music video, but somehow with all the emotions flooding out of her heart, it just looked so real.
Yusei was definitely amazed at the sight of her, as he found himself awestruck at the star. Crow on the other hand had his grin grew wider, and the glimmer in his eyes becoming even more evident. After all, it was like a special performance of the singer for them, and them only.
Though, despite the awesome performance, Yusei can't help but notice the difference of the song compared to the one she sung on the concert just now.
Yes, it was definitely a song about love, but a song about:
Looking for Love.
Beckoning for Love.
Begging for love.
Desperate for Love.
It was definitely in contrast with her joyful and rejuvenating songs of love.
"...Save me Ohhh." Was the last words she said, as the director finally went for a:
"CUT! That's a wrap!" He stated. With the happy look on his face, you can clearly see how amazed he was himself. After all, it was all but marvelous.
Yet, there is just this point in time, that something has to go wrong.
When Rika was just about to get off the set, suddenly the stands of the lights and the reflectors around her suddenly lost its balance as everything now came falling on to her.
Everyone was shocked, as most let out a gasp as they found themselves dumbstruck and glued to their own places.
Since everything was almost connected to each others with all the wires jumbled up, though one just fell everything followed, falling in a Domino-effect-like manner. She doesn't know where to go.
Will show go left where the Reflector is?
To the right where one of the lights is?
Or in front where the big camera is going to fall on to her face.
"Rika!"
"Rika!
"RIKA!"
Beyond those screams, there was one who finally got his feet moving, whilst he took the startled young brunette on his arms protectively, whilst his free hand tried to stop the pull of gravity on the camera.
Once again, everyone just stared, after all, where can you see a guy move like that in lightning speed. Even the girl herself find herself staring at the guy cradling her in his strong arms.
"Yusei?" She finally uttered in a small almost inaudible voice, breaking the sudden silence, as her hands just kept itself in a grip in front of her chest, that is supposedly ready to cover her face for all the falling things about to trample her to the ground.
He just kept himself silent for now as he slowly laid the camera on the ground, and then eyed the now chaotic studio room. Then back at the girl on his arm.
"That was just awesome!" The Director just uttered, as it finally break the second awkward silence for the day. "If only, if only that was just caught in camera. That could have been the best scene ever!" Rika and Yusei just blushed as they both looked away from each other, as Yusei finally stood up, while aiding the brunette as well.
"Uhm, are you okay?" He asked shyly, still feeling the odd emotion that is suddenly creeping on to his chest, whilst more blood flooded his cheeks. While, Rika on the other hand, almost fell silent again. But, this time bit her lip and finally nodded.
"Yeah, I-I'm fine."
'Yes, everything went well according to plan.'
"Anyway, Staff people, please get this mess cleaned up immediately!" He finally ordered, as he finally stood from his seat, and clapped to make everyone finally move from their glued spots. Then, he turned to the brunette. "You okay, Rika? Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked, as he placed a hand on the girl's forehead, and then tapped her shoulders.
"No, I am fine. Yusei uhm saved me." She stated almost smiling like a lunatic, as she failed to hide the blush on her face.
'Omg, I can't believe that I'm being so goofy, and I even just got my heart broken just now. I'm just so cruel. But, somehow, I like it. Somehow, whenever he's here.' She thought as she took a quick glance on the raven haired man beside her. 'It's like my heart is just released from all that sadness, and emptiness that I've been feeling, especially from the pain caused by...Trent.'
"Anyway, I hope you don't mind, but we have to film the second scene today, you know for the first chorus part. So, take a quick break for thirty minutes or until the set is all cleaned up, okay?"
Yusei finally went back to his group of friends, with one who just stared at him with amazement, while the other just gawked at him with a wild grin plastered on his face.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe you just did that, Yusei!" Crow started as he nudged his friend on the abdomen, whilst the man himself just retorted with a simple sigh.
"Isn't that a normal thing to do?"
"Yeah right, a normal thing to do by a Knight in Shining Armour. Dang, if only I wasn't shocked myself I could have ran to rescue her myself."
"Shut up, Crow. In your dreams. I mean, just looking at you a while ago all you did was gawk at Rika like an idiot, with your mouth open wide allowing all the flies to enter your system. Right, you can definitely go and run for her rescue." Jack stated ever so sarcastically.
"Jeeze, you're such a killjoy."
'Yep, Yusei's definitely the man for the job. I wasn't wrong after all. I just hope that the two of them would get together.' The blond man, smiled as he he sipped his cofee feeling ever so triumphant. 'Yep, this is for Rika's own happiness after all.'
It was finally after break, as all of them finally got back to the studio that was finally cleaned up from the great havoc secretly caused by a blond man.
"Alright, I just hope nothing like before happens again! Unless, it was meant to happen. Anyways, bring in Rika's partner!" Rika perked up in surprise. Seeing that there was actually a partner, after all she was just informed that the other party cancelled, whoever it was.
With that, the studio's door finally opened as a very familiar man walked right in. He was a man with neatly combed, short, black hair. His dark sullen azure eyes, staring at everyone at the studio, especially the brunette who's staring at him in shock, causing him to whip up a smirk.
'Trent! What are you doing here?' Her mind quickly exclaimed in panic, as the familiar feeling of pain lingered back into her chest. She quickly turned back to her manager.
"Nate, what is he doing here? I thought that the guy cancelled? And as far as I know, that guy is not supposed to be TRENT." She stated, feeling a bit frantic. It's just with some of her fans watching, and along with the rest of the people in the studio, she's just not that sure if she can handle herself emotionally, especially with what just happened at her concert this morning.
She wouldn't want that.
Even if she was in pain, she wouldn't anyone to see her this vulnerable.
She wanted to smile, and smile on forever for everyone even if her heart's in a wreck.
Even if she doesn't get happiness herself.
After all, isn't that the reason why she wanted to be a singer? To bring happiness even if she's down.
However, could she dare smile when the cause of her pain is right before her eyes?
"I don't know myself." He stated Nate stared nastily at the raven-haired man, who briskly walked towards the brunette as if nothing happened.
Or rather, as if he didn't just have a break up earlier this morning.
"Rika, how are you?" That was somehow an understatement, NOT.
Rika really doesn't know how to handle herself like if she should slap the guy in front of her and shower all her anger on him with various types of punches on his masculine body, or walk away like a coward.
But, of course, she can't do anything like that, especially when there are a lot of spectators at the scene. She definitely didn't want to cause another kind of havoc in this studio. A different type of havoc to boot.
"What are you doing here?" She just have to ask. After all, it was never him who was meant to be on a shoot with her. Like he'd go on a shoot WITH HER. Especially, at a moment like this.
"Why? Isn't it wrong to do my job?"
"No, it's not. But, why here, why now?"
"Don't tell me you're getting all worked up about it." He stated in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone, whilst shrugging his shoulders simply. Though it may be a simple statement, somehow his words were like fiery darts from hell that was directly shot at her now fragile heart.
Tears started to well up in her eyes, as her hand just moved on its own, ready to land a wonderful slap on his face.
Everyone was finally staring at them. They never really expected this, especially the guys at the studio as they after all knew that the two were supposedly together.
Nate was quick on his own, as his right hand stopped her raised shaking hand, whilst his left covering her turquoise eyes, making the brunette gasp at the sudden darkness before her.
"Hey, I know that we just had a break right now, but I don't think Rika feels well right now. I think we should cancel for now, and just go for an overtime tomorrow. Is that okay, Director?"
'Now this is definitely something I have NOT planned at all.'
Omg, can't believe I am writing a love story while watching something as tragic as The Lovely Bones. But, you know what it's an awesome movie. XD (and it's one of the VERY few movies that can make me cry. It was just so heartfelt. T-T. Wait isn't The Lovely Bones a suspense movie? Wth. Now I can feel a massive headache bothering my head. Ugh.)
To be honest, I really have to end the chapter soon as I have to make tons of calls since my mom said, I have to find a hotel to reserve for my uhmbirthdayuhm so yeah. That's why it's kind of rushed.
But, even if its rushed I hope that you guys liked it!
(Don't worry! I promise to revise this later evening, since my eyes hurt so much right now as well from crying. Damn Lovely Bones, I never cried. Actually, it's been years since I have last cried...)
PLEASE, DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! :p

KirbyStar64: Lol, IKR. Whenever I write about LWITS, Crow just makes my day for some odd reason due to him being a fanatic. Plus, for me he's just the Canon character to fit such role. :p
Anyways, thanks for the review!

*Seika Dreams Studio- It's not really anything as I have just made it up. Seika means, beautiful star. (Sei=Star Ka=Pretty/Beautiful) So, in full English its Beautiful Star Dreams Studio. Lol.
Actually, when I was thinking about Yusei and Hikari's future (from THOCD), I was thinking what if, if they do have a child would it be twins or not? Then that was one of the names I thought of.
Sei from Yusei Ka from HiKAri.
But, of course, I'm not sure if I'm going to incorporate that though.
