Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of lovely complex characters.

Risa Koizumi was sitting on her bed, sketching some outfits and dresses designs. She was mumbling to herself some sort of a tune that Otani recognized right away as one of Umibozu's songs. He himself was smiling, trying to follow on with the melody she was humming. They are room-mates now. Otani found a way to convince Nakao to switch rooms with Risa. After all, he couldn't risk letting her sleep in the same room with an unknown guy who may find out she is a girl. No matter how careful she is, still, lessening risks is always better.

"What are you doing?" Risa asked, wondering why Otani was sitting in same position since a very long time.

"Cleaning the sword?" Otani answered in a 'Can't you see?' look.

"That's what I mean. It's sparkling already"

Otani smirked: "You are just jealous that everyone is giving me attention 'cause I can use it"

"What? Why would i? Didn't you ask me not to touch sword because you are afraid I'll be better than you?"

"True true. You were so good" Nakao popped out of no where. The door wasn't locked.

"Who's side are YOU at?!" Otani exclaimed

" Ofcourse your side"

"How can that be my side?" Otani almost scolded, but he forgot what he just asked when he saw the expression on Risa's face.

"Eeh? Reita! Why are you about to cry? I'm the one being teased here!"

" H..haven't you heard? Umibozu, is coming here"

"No way! He'll get locked up!"

"Another victim is on the way" Nakao sighed.

"We'll not allow that !" Both of Otani and Risa yelled, startling Nakao.

Nakao stepping back wards out of daze:"Then what will you do?"

"When will he come?" Otani asked Risa.

" His tour reaches here in 2 months"

Otani started to write something on a paper, almost burning it at how quick he was writing a over the paper, then he gave it to Nakao.

Nakao had hard time reading what was written, but when he managed to finish reading, he gasped:"Eeh! that means no sleep for us! That's too much practice!"

"Not too much! Umibozu can't be locked here! Although we love him, we understand the feeling of all the fans out there" Otani said while holding tears in his eyes, yet he had a very determined look.

"Yes, we totally do" Risa nodded in agreement.

"So, we'll follow that schedule on paper no matter what. We must reach Umibozu before he reach us, and that can't happen unless we are out for this city" Otani finished explaining.

"then I'll practice too! I must help"

Hearing that, Otani's determination was replaced by a death glare at Risa.

" You . Will . Not."

Risa felt sweat dripping down her forehead.

" O..kay, but why?"

"You don't need to. All I need is to say someone's name, and everyone will run for their lives"

Nakao sighed:"Well, maybe everyone will agree since they want to leave this place as soon as possible"

A month and a half later..

Risa's P.O.V

I think we're ready now. Everyone's had a good night of sleep. They were all exhausted. We, or let's say 'they' kept training 'til a late hour at night everyday. I was just helping out with giving them water in breaks and keeping enough light around so everyone can see in the darkness of night. Despite the tiring lectures we had through day time , everyone was in that forest for the rest of the day and 'till the early hours of the next morning. No body cared about assignments or so, we all were determined to leave anyways. Today is the day. A good night of sleep was needed, and we got it. We'll make our run from this place, so I'd finally be able to live normally without worrying that Freaky Gyuski will find me and make me his w..wife.

Me and Otani went out to get some snacks in case we needed them on our way. When we get our snacks, we'll start our plan, which is actually... Nothing.

"How are we doing this without a plan?" I asked, confusion filling me to the core.

"We'll leave this city, and if anyone tried to stop us, we'll fight them and run. Simple, isn't it?" Otani answered without looking at me. He was busy picking up some melon bread.

Well, it didn't make sense at all. I mean what he said. How in the world are we going to travel to another place without a car? Can any of us drive anyways?

"We'll be fine. No time to plan. The magazine said Umibozu is coming earlier than schedule. He'll take a train to here tomorrow. We need to stop him " Otani interrupted my thoughts as we headed to the cashier.

"This one, isn't she? Did she cut her hair?" A voice came from behind us

"It's the same short guy too. Although he was wearing a mask, I'm sure he's the one who ran with her" Another voice joined.

Me and Otani turned around to look at who's talking. We could only blink twice at the awkward moment. They were the same guards who chased after us when we ran off from wedding! They're wearing the same black outfit too! Wait, that's not the point!

"E..eh? What are you talking about? Who cut his hair?" I tried to talk, smiling nervously.

Otani yelled:"What are you doing?" He pulled my arm, starting to run.

And there, we go on another chasing game. Well, at least I'm not wearing a dress or high heels.

End of Risa's P.O.V

Otani and Risa held hands while running. They reached an alley where Otani spotted a good place to hide, but Risa didn't exactly agree.

"The garbage!" He started to climb into it. Not fast enough 'cause Risa pulled him back yelling:"Not in a million years!"

Otani while continuing to run:" You almost made me fall!"

"Just run!" She yelled, out of breath.

"No no! Don't cross the street! The Traffic light just turned green! " He yelled in horror.

"Then we'll pass before the cars!" She answered while already crossing the street.

"Watch the car!"

He pushed her off the way, falling on top of her. Both of them froze for a moment, stopped breathing, trying to realize what just happened.

'This soft thing... Lips? On mine?!' She thought while her eyes refused to blink even once.

As soon as he got off of her, she yelled:" Aaah! That was my first!"

"My poor ears T.T That was your fault! Who told you to run infront of cars! Plus, why'd i want to do that to you? gross!" He frowned while wiping his lips roughly.

Right at that moment, she realized how fast her heart was racing. She also realized her racing heart skipped a beat at his words.

A crying voice of a little kid was heard. Risa looked besides her towards the little child. Her gaze softened. She asked:" What's wrong? Are you lost?"

" *sniff* Mama told me not to watch two guys kissing. I'm a bad boy, so the bad guys in black are coming after me. Waaa!"

Risa blushing: "No no I'm a girl. You're a good child. They're after Us. Not you." Realizing what she just said, she yelled in panic:"US?!"

Otani looked over at the two men who started crossing the street after the light turned red.

"Crap! They're already almost here! Run! How could we forget?"

"It's because of what you did!" She complained while running.

"Can we argue later? It's hard to talk while running!"

"Okay, but I'll teach you a lesson later"

Reaching a dead end, Otani asked while panting hardly:" What do we do now?"

The guard who just caught up to them:"Just give up and let her come with us" He squeezed his eyes shut at how tired he was.

The other guard already held Risa's arms, then they caught Otani.

Risa started to breath heavily, frowning, then she collapsed, but the man who was grabbing her arms held her before she hit the ground.

Otani in worry:"Risa! Risa! Are you okay?" He glared at the man:" Back off! She needs help!"

The guard:" If you are trying to escape, this won't work"

"Are you blind? She's barely breathing, trembling and sweating madly! She shouldn't run like that with such a disease!" He scolded while struggling to set himself free from the other man's grasp.

"Oh, then we'll take her to the hospital"

"Idiot. She needs help now! If we wait 'till she reach hospital, she'll die! Gyuski will not be happy about it"

The guard starting to get scared:"Then tell me what to do"

" First. tell me how many times her heart beats in minute. Fast!"

The guard with shakey hands tried to measure her pulse, then he said to the other guard:"Let go of him! I'm not a Doctor! Let him do it since he knows how "

Otani got closer to Risa after being released. He punched the one holding her, making him fall backwards while she kicked the other one, taken aback, he didn't block the kick he received. Otani held Risa's arm making their run.

They got mixed with the crowed out there.

In a while...

"*pant* *pant* We lost them" Risa said.

"*pant* You deserve...*pant* An acting award" He swallowed at the dryness of his throat.

"How did you know...*pant* I was acting?"

" Did you forget? We think in the same way"

"Then you must know what I'll do next"

"Wha.." Before he could even ask, he found him self flying and colliding to wall behind him thanks to a painfull punch

"That's for stealing my first kiss" She placed a peck on her own fist.

A/N: How is the chapter? Let me know. I'm sorry for skipping a long time lapse, but I didn't think it'll be interesting to write about their lectures and training.
