After sleeping soundly in the midst of his nap, Miyavi naturally woke up by the sunrise, the rays shining into the plane. Slowly opening his eyelids only to see Ayako-Chan still resting. He then just remembered meeting this great girl, and it was not just a dream. Miyavi smiled calmly and was only looking at her sleep, for even this made him contented.
With the sunbeams coming into the window, Ayako stirred slightly and sat up. Yawning quietly, she rubbed her eyes making sure not to smear her make up. Blinking a couple of times, she looked over to Miyavi. For a moment she had forgotten what had happened and she looked at him confused, almost asking him what he was doing sitting next to her and then she had remembered. A small blush had come upon her face about how she had fallen asleep on him, and she just hope she hadn't made a fool of herself.
Seeing this sleeping beauty awake in his presence, has made Miyavi even happier. As the usual cheerful laughter-looking smile came across his face, he was just so excited to meet another new friend coming back to Japan.....or could she even become more than a friend to him? Looking at her gently rub her eyes, she couldn’t' possibly be any cuter. His heart began to feel all warm and cozy. "Had a good nap there Ayako-Chan?" as he tapped her head lightly.
She nodded. "I hope I didn't make your arm fall asleep." She giggled a little before she thought.
"Oh, it's fine. Besides, it felt weightless. We are landing now so.." as he suddenly changes to a nervous, embarrassed side. "Where are you planning on staying once we land?"
For a moment, she had forgotten where she had been staying. It had only been a few weeks since she had moved in. "It's just a small apartment in Shinjuku, but it'll do for now until I save up more money and get better gigs. But everything is mine." She said proudly, covering a yawn with her hand.
Pulling out his laptop, Yoshiki began to browse the internet. He looked through his myspace to see if he had any more messages- of course he did. He sighed, deciding that he would look through that later. For the moment he made up his mind to check to see if there were any new odd gossip going around about the band, no doubt there was.
Gackt looked over Yoshiki's shoulder, deciding to be nosy for the moment. "Ahh.. can't get enough of yourself can you Yoshiki?" He asked with a small smile. He was teasing of course. It was something they did often. Yoshiki was just making sure there weren't any too farfetched rumors going out around there, such as... Gackt sleeping with Miyavi, that they couldn't deal with.
He looked over to Gackt and rolled his eyes. "I'm not as self centered as you would like to believe I am Camui" Giving Gackt a small smile, he turned and blinked. Jref? There seemed to be something new there under the Miyavi forum. Clicking on the link- his eyes widened. There was the picture of Miyavi and Ayako sleeping on the plane and two whole paragraphs about them on the plane- but how could this have happened?!
"So you are staying in Shinjuku? I think me and the band will be staying in a hotel near there. This is nice. Maybe we will be able to meet outside sometime. It could get pretty boring hanging around those guys all day long." Miyavi said as he looked over at the three to see their shocked faces.
Ayako smiled widely and nodded. "Yeah, I’d love t-" Stopping in mid sentence, she looked over in the direction of the three other band mates that were slightly intimidating in her opinion. They seemed to be frowning over something on the laptop.
Miyavi scrunched his eyebrows together and had a confused look on. "Yoshiki-kun.... why do you look so shocked? What's the matter?" .
Yoshiki looked over to Miyavi and shook his head.” Don’t worry about it Miyavi, it's nothing." He then looked over to Gackt and Sugizo. He began to talk in a quite tone of voice, trying to keep it away from Miyavi. "Who do you think did this? It had to be someone on this plane? A Stewardess perhaps?" he asked and sighed. He couldn't exactly tell the people on the forum it was fake. the picture itself looked clearly real and the band was in the background. Besides, if he told them that the picture was fake- how could he explain that they were all photo shopped.
"This is a problem" Gackt mumbled quietly and placed his arm to the back of his head, not bothering to look over at Miyavi.
This might be something bad. Another bad rumor? Miyavi wasn't sure, but seeing how Ayako had changed in her sentence, he was a little even more concerned. "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop in ur sentence?" A little worried in his thoughts because of the change in her expression, Miyavi was getting even more worried that perhaps he had done something wrong or that she wasn't interested in him- but he was getting more and more interested in her by the second.
Turning to Miyavi she shook her head "Nothing is wrong, it's just they all seem so worried over something. Why don't you go see if they're okay. I'll live." She said and gave him a gentle nudge. After all they were his band mates and she was just a girl he had met a few hours ago. She gave him an encouraging smile. Besides if they were worried over something, it probably had to do with the band, and Miyavi should probably be there too.
Sugizo mumbles to the others, "This could get ugly. Such a mystery. That‘s the part of being famous that always sucks, it gives us trouble."
Yoshiki thinks to himself, 'how could this possibly have happened? How strange. This better not be some kind of prank.'
Gackt sighed heavily and rubbed his eyes. " Do you think we should ask the stewardesses or just let this thing go?" If they confronted the Stewardesses- if they did anything...it might seem like something was actually going on and that didn't mean the rumors would get any better or worse.
"well... how else would this stop?" Yoshiki let out a long sigh and rubbed his eyebrows with an annoyed face on.
After hearing Ayako say that, he got up unwillingly and slowly, but he did walk over to the rest of the band. "Hey, what's the matter? Why do you guys all look so down and frustrated?"
Ayako had decided to give the four of them their privacy. Opening up her notebook once more, she took off the cap of her pen and began to write the lyrics of her new song. Perhaps if she finished it in time she would sing it at the gig she had in one of the nightclubs. Humming quietly, she tapped her foot on the floor of the plane. Twirling a strand of hair around her finger as she thought. She just hoped that what ever it is S.K.I.N was worrying about, that it was nothing too big.
"Well, I really don’t like the looks of this and it can cause big trouble, but here" Yoshiki answered as he turns the laptop towards Miyavi "THIS is what's wrong."
Miyavi dropped his jaw. How could this have happened? This is ridiculous. Then he became a bit angry. "Why does this always have to happen?! Just because we are famous doesn't mean we can't have relationships! omg... " "How do you think this can be solved?"
Yoshiki turned the laptop back around. "I don't think it can Miyavi. It's already on the internet and I don't think we can really ask the person to take the picture off- plenty of people have already seen it." He sighed.” Things like this happen all the time Miyavi." He gave the younger musician a small smile.
Gackt felt bad for Miyavi. The rest of the group had been in the music industry for a lot longer then he had and were used to these sort of things, but Miyavi was still young and naive for the most part, while they were used to the harshness of the business and the ongoing of gossip and the daily life.
"Ugh, this sucks. I just hope it wont become too big. Plus, the picture is quite small and parts of us are cut off." To admit, the rest of the band did notice that, but thought that maybe not everyone will believe it. Turning back in hesitation to Ayako, he felt bad towards her because he had just met her- but got her troubled already.
As he walks back to the seat beside her, he kind of looks down at his hands and began fidgeting with his fingers.
"Um.. Ayako-Chan.. the thing we were just worried about... on the laptop, there seems to be a picture of us ...sleeping together. I'm really sorry! getting you tangled into the world of nasty rumors already! I feel really awful! but I don't know where that picture will take us. I really hope not a lot of people will believe it." Miyavi says all this as a sincere apology with an extremely worried look. He really didn't want to let that end the relationship they had, but if she felt too worried about it, then worse comes to worse- he'll just have to...let her go.
Seeing Miyavi walk back to her, she put her pen down and looked at the look on his face. Frowning- he looked rather upset. "Miyavi-kun? Is everything alright?" Hearing his explanation, her frown deepened before a smile broke out on her face. "Don't worry, it's alright. There's not reason to apologize to me. You didn't do anything wrong" Smiling warmly at him, she put a hand over his. Ayako kept her hand there for a moment before removing it and putting it back in her own lap. "Its only a silly rumor. It happens all the time right? It'll blow over."
How understanding Ayako is being has made Miyavi lose all of his sadness. Ayako... she was something else. All his worries were gone now, but not for long. For something else was about to stir up.
"Oh, Ayako-Chan. I’m really relieved that you are not mad. I thought this might have upset you." Then he let out a relieved laughter. "So, I heard you were going to prefer-"
Yoshiki noticed a glimpse of someone standing in the shadows and stood up.
Right then, out of the corner of his eyes, Miyavi saw Yoshiki suddenly walked angrily over somewhere. As Miyavi's eyes followed him, Yoshiki approached ...a stewardess?
Gackt stood up as well and followed Yoshiki.
She stood behind the curtain near the cockpit, hidden in the shadows. A small digital camera in her hands. The stewardess's eyes narrowed as she watched the band. She couldn't believe Ayako Kokobunji. 'That stupid Nobody model- who did she think she was cuddling up to Miyavi like that?!' She gripped her fists in anger.
Yoshiki stepped half way into the shadows and snatched the digital camera out of her hands!
"What is this?! What kind of person are you?! How could you do something like this?!" Just then, the rest of the group saw what was going on and all heads turned to the two, as if the camera has swerved to Yoshiki and the stewardess with all the other's frozen expression staring.
'So this was how the picture got onto the website.' Gackt looked at her with disappointment in his eyes. Flights like this were supposed to include privacy- especially in first class.
"I'm going to have to call and talk to the supervisor about you- perhaps even the company board."
Ayako stood up and walked over to where the group of them were. She had no idea why she had the urge to stand up for the stewardess- but she felt the need to stand up for her in this situation, even though she was the victim of her action.
"I'm sure she didn't mean any harm!" She blurted out looking up at Yoshiki and Gackt. She swallowed hard. This was the first time she had actually been so close to them or said anything to them. She was nervous actually. "I know that she shouldn't have taken that picture, but...its not like...well.." She flushed. "I...I forgot what I was going to say" She said and scratched the back of her head.
Looking at Ayako, she rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips. She couldn't believe this stupid model singer girl want to be was actually trying to stand up for her when she was hogging the man that she wanted. Oh well, she would play it up as much as she could to get off the hook.
Still very upset at this stewardess, Yoshiki added, "I don't care what you are planning to do or whatever. I will not allow you to do these types of things! Why can't you just accept things the way they are? If you continue to spread rumors and cause trouble, I will never forgive you, and if you continue with this type of personality, I wonder how the people around you will like you. Even though you may say sorry right now, it really doesn't seem as if you mean it." Then he took the camera and went to look for her supervisor to report the incident.
Following Yoshiki actions, Gackt took the stewardess by the arm. "This was a really cruel thing you are doing and will get out of hand if it continues. Come with us." On the way to see the supervisor, he also had deleted all the band/Miyavi related pictures.
Miyavi got up and approached Ayako. "Ayako-Chan. Even though that was very nice of you to stand up for her, don't even bother with those types of people. Let's just go sit back down." As they walk back to their seat, Miyavi felt a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders.
As she sat down in her seat, she couldn't help but feel bad for the stewardess. "I know she's not a great person- but there's some good qualities in everyone." Ayako said and folded her legs underneath her. "Or maybe I’m just too naive..." She put a finger to her chin in thought.
After they had talked to the supervisor, they had returned to their seats as well. The stewardess was to be fired and banned from the company, and she was to be seated in coach class until the flight ended and had nothing to do with the first class for the remainder of the flight. "That was a hassle." Gackt said annoyed.
Yoshiki gave a nod and rubbed his temples. "At least we got rid of the problem right away, hopefully. We can't monitor her the whole time she stays in Japan. Who knows what she'll say or do. Let's just hope it's nothing bad." He leaned back in his seat, trying to relax.
When he heard Yoshiki and Gackt's conversation as they came back, Sugizo agreed, "I don't think we will need to worry much about her. It isn't everyday that you meet a rock star, so people probably won't really believe her."
"Hopefully" Gackt said and closed his eyes, letting them rest. He wasn't really asleep- his eyes were just exhausted from being open for a period of time.
Opening his laptop again, Yoshiki began to write lyrics for their new album. He might as well do something for the next hour before they land at the airport. Hopefully from here on out it would be smooth sailing.
Miyavi jumped up from his seat hearing the great news and exclaimed to Ayako, "You heard that?! Problem's solved!" and started clapping. He was being his usual quirky self. Then feeling a little loud, Miyavi just sat back down but still laughing. He was so excited to know that the girl he just met was a very kind-hearted person AND there will be no more trouble coming from the stewardess. Feeling Ayako's attention on him, he felt even happier. 'Could this be the girl of my dreams?' He wondered to himself. The two were just laughing heartily. Then Miyavi simmered down and took Ayako's hand into his.
Looking back at Miyavi, Ayako smiled and blushed slightly. Wrapping her fingers around his larger hand. Noticing that she wasn't pulling her hands away, he felt at ease.
"How long are you guys going to stay in Tokyo?" She knew that Miyavi had a tour not too long after he got back to Japan just about a few weeks.
With a kind smile, he replied, "Well, we'll be going on a tour in a few weeks, but we'll still be here for about.. three and a half weeks I think. And since we just came back from performing in America, our managers are letting us have a mini vacation for a few days before we have to get back to work." Miyavi gripped Ayako's hands a little firmer. "So, what are you going to do first when we land?"
"I actually have a photo shoot right when I get off the plane" She rolled her eyes slightly. "I've been working a lot lately." She was finally making her way to her dream. It was slow, but she was getting there. The more she was getting noticed, the sooner or later she was bound to get signed to a record company. It wouldn’t be too long now- and besides, having photoshoots like this was good practice for the future.
Hearing how she was going to be busy right after they get off, a small sadness appeared in his eyes. He was actually planning to ask her out for the day to hang out more. Miyavi just couldn't get enough of Ayako-Chan. He looks down, but then turns his head back towards Ayako. " Aww, you're busy right away? That suck,. and I have these few days off too. Who am I going hang out with now?" Miyavi gives her the cutest pout ever! along with his puppy dog eyes as he brought her hand up to his chest.
She frowned a little. How could she say no to that face- it wasn't face, it was making her heart melt. "Well. I suppose if you wouldn't mind sitting there for a few hours until I'm done- you could come to the photo shoot. Maybe they'd let you take a few pictures with me?" Ayako fell victim to his spell. It wasn't fair that he was so charming and she was such a fan of his. It was like he was Satan wearing an angel's clothes.
"Really?! That would be so amazing!" Miyavi was too excited to hear that she wouldn't mind him tagging along. He was squirming in his seat with this childish expression on his face and laughing like a little girl. "Now I can see Ayako-Chan working. That would be awesome. I'd love too. Do you want me to help you settle down in your apartment?" Miyavi asks slyly as if he was going to even get some this early.
Happy that they are now setting a date already, just excites him. "That's great then! It'll just take me a little to unpack than I'm yours." Miyavi says the last part all sweet. "Then tea it is! It's a date!" Miyavi was getting all hyped up - just when he felt Ayako's expression changed and her grip on his hands tightened. The plane was starting to land.
