Hope you enjoyed the last updater of this story. In the last update we saw a little into the relationship we have going between Subaru and Keiko. This update we may see the siblings reactions to the magazines.
Enjoy
Natsume was walking along the train terminal to catch the train to Kobe with his family. He was interested in being to a Ice compotation, according to Yusuke, they are completely different to Basketball games, or track events that he had been to. There was a bit more elegance to them. Ema and Claire loved the one they had been to in Paris. They informed they family that while each skater performs there is barly a word spoken. You only hear the commentators whispering if your seated close to them. Keiko was able to get them seated away from the commentator box and that she has her coaches assistant meeting them at the Ice rink that the competition is being hosted at. The family was also planning to stay long enough to see Subaru's game that is in a couple of days.
"This is soo redicules, why am I supposed to be here? She doesn't like me." Fuuto complained from his spot next to Masaomi. Their oldest brother is still not happy about the second youngest's behavior towards Ema and Keiko. But the women of the family where basically giving him the silent treatment. Finding out that he was trying to use his celeberty status to get Keiko to use his music and trying to get Ema to chose him over Yusuke was a sore spot. He was really looking forward to the day that Fuuto found someone who made him work for it, instead of fanning over him like most people due to him being a pop artist.
"Fuuto, we are here to support someone that is considered family. Get over it." Masa said annoyed.
Natsume chuckled as he stopped at one of the news stands to pick up a few Magazine's. Hearing a gasp from Cessa next to him, he peared at the mag that she was holding. There on the front cover was the headline:
Ice Princess and Kobe Star-Player?
One the front page was a photo of Subaru standing next to Keiko as they walk into a coffee shop in Kobe. He looked as though he was out for a run and met up with the girl. They looked to be laughing at something, Subaru had a slight smile on his face and Keiko was trying to cover up her laugh with the back of her hand.
Natsume looked over all the magazine covers, he saw different article titles with different pictures of the two people that they all knew. One of them showed a picture of them sitting in a restaurant, Subaru looked nice dressed they way he was, it looked like he was in a casual suit, leaning on his elbows stairing at the person who he was having dinner with. Keiko looked older with her hair pulled back, it looked as though they where oblivious to the world that had fallowed them to the restaurant.
"Well, Well, it looks like my planning worked. They make a handsome couple." Hikaru spoke looking over Cessa's shoulder at a few of the covers infront of them.
"Hikaru how did you know they would work out?" Louise asked.
"It was instinct my brother. She complements him well."
"That she does, almost as well as the other ladies of our family complement our brothers."
The brothers got one of each mag off the stand to take with. They all show different pictures of both Subaru and Keiko. Both together and alone with multiple article titles. Top Sports mag had individual pictures of the two all over the cover. Keiko on the ice and Subaru on the court, with the title Opposites Attract? Is the Ice and Court the right opposites? How will their two worlds take this.
Sitting on the train, Masa and Kyo where both talking about that this might be a paparazzi invading the lives of Celebrities. Kyo was worried about what the two's legal public relations teams. Subaru had one as he was on a major sports team, wasn't sure about Keiko. She only told them about her coach and coaches assistant.
-Subaru-
He was sitting in the office of his public relations team. He was not impressed that he and Keiko where spread all over the front covers of nearly every Magazine that covered celebrities, sports teams, ect. He was used to it mainly because he was a star in high school and at Maji Collage before signing on with the team in Kobe.
"Now Mr. Asahina, we have no problem with whom you are seeing in your personal life. But it would be nice to have a heads up so we can avoid the awkwardness that we have going on in this office at the present time." One of the men sitting next to him.
"It's a recent occurrence, we met through my younger sister and brother." Subaru pinched the bridge of his nose.
That morning at coffee they agreed to see how things go as they where both interested to see what happens between them. Since they both travel for their careers, she around the world for her compaction's and he for his games.
"I see, so we can play it off as you have known each other and that you decided to meet up with her comp here in Kobe." One of the others spoke up.
"That would be half correct as we know in one of the articles show us kissing after coffee." Subaru sighed as his cell pinged.
Keiko-
I can imagine that your public relations team is in a tizzy at the moment.
Subaru-
Yep, I'm supposed to meet my family soon and I'm here dealing with this at the moment.
Keiko-
I understand, want me to go meet them? I can probably lose the paparazzi.
Subaru-
If you don't mind? And how can you do that?
Keiko-
I don't, and I have my ways.
"We can keep our statement simple, they are in a relationship. They met through similar connections through collage. We don't need to give them the information that they through his family." The Coach spoke, pulling Subaru from his phone.
"Sir this could go bad if we give them simple information. Reporters could continue following them at any time. Miss. Tadashi could be followed at all times."
"I know the young skaters coach, he would give simple information as well." The coach sighed.
Subaru diffidently sympathized with his coach at this moment. He himself wanted to go and make sure that Keiko was alright and then check in with his family. He was sure that Hikaru would be extatic about this, the others will just laugh about how it all started. He would have to admit that Hikaru was right about the sexual tension between them back at Christmas. This meeting was the most annoying thing to happen so far in his career. He had never had any scandals since he joined the team a few years ago. These public relations representatives are making this out to be scandalizes actions to meet someone that you are interested in. The coach already knew that he was taking tomorrow off for her comp because he told him before this all happened.
"Gentlemen, I think I made the decision that a simple release of that they two are in a relastionship and wish for privacy is enough at this time. Mr. Asahina has never caused us any problems and it isn't the worst thing for a player to find a partner." The coach spoke as he got up and buttoned his jacket dismissing the meeting.
