Sorry for the long wait for an update. I've been busy with other stories and reality called life.
Allannah and Eiichi walked for a bit. Allannah wasn't sure how to explain what just happened. She was rattling her brain for an excuse. She knew that Raging and Shining were enemies of sorts. She glance sideways towards Eiichi. He had a slight frown on his face. "I'm sorry about that," Allannah, muttered. "I'm not sure what got into her. She was never like that when we were kids." Allannah noticed that his frown deepened.
"Who were the other two behind her?"
"I'm not quite sure. I ran into Ushio while I was out getting stuff and they ran up to us. I made an excuse to leave them. I felt uncomfortable. You know me and meeting new people. All of them are from Shining Agency." Allannah played with the hem of her shirt.
Allannah felt a hand, or something, on the top of her head making her look up at Eiichi's face. "Don't go anywhere near them. You know that they aren't ones to be friendly with. They could end up hurting you more than what happened back when you were younger."
Allannah nodded. "I know." Allannah smiled. "That's why I have to be stronger than I was when I was younger. I have everyone at Raging Entertainment to help me. I know it might be a long shot until I'm stronger than I was, but I'm well on my way."
Eiichi smirked. "What's gotten into you? You never talk this much when you're with me. Allannah, you always shy away from me. I wondered ever since you became HEAVENS manager, if I intimidated you when we walked home together."
"I-i-i-it's not like that," Allannah stammered. "It's just that I never know what to talk to you about. You and your father have been very kind to me. Giving me a home, a job as a manager, and even continuing my education. I never know how to thank the two of you. So I'm always at a loss for words whenever I'm with you and your father, Eiichi. I guess running into an old friend helped bring that out in me. At least seeing her wasn't a total bust." Allannah smiled the rest of the way home.
Today was the first time she was able to talk to Eiichi without stuttering the entire time. Even now Allannah was still curious if Eiichi liked her or not. She'll find out another day. Right now she had to worry about getting HEAVENS ready for the Uta Pri Award. It was her job to keep them on track. Allannah just hoped she wouldn't lose any precious sleep over all this.
