Loud cheers, loud music...there on the stage was the famous japanese idol group perfroms, B-Komachi. Fans wave their bright colorful glowsticks, white, yellow, green, but one color glows the most, fans adore her, fans love her, fans dream of her, the main group leader, the red glowstick, Ai Hoshino has returned to the group after months of absence on the stage. Fans were more than excited, they're in cloud nine. Ai waves at everone of them,
"I love you, all!" with a sweet charming voice had she caught everyones heart. Meanwhile, Aqua watches live on TV as his mother performs.
"The president sure is a crazy guy. If Ai's secret is exposed, he risks losing everything..."
Aqua smiles in excitement, full of anticipation and adoration,
"But, I still do get it... There's no way not to go crazy around her.
Infront of an excessively intense light, people can but get scorched. They are like moths drawn to the flame. Even upon realizing their wings will be singed off, they cannot stop.
And I'm no exception. I'm glad I'm able to watch over Ai from so close. So much that I am glad to that person who murdered me.
Should this rebirth happen to be a miracle brought about by many obsessions toward her, it would make total sense to me."
Though, the truth is I wanted to help her give birth to normal children. It's a force of majeure. You can't compete against supernatural phenomena..."
Aqua leans closer on to the screen with a held smirk.
"...so I'm going to enjoy myself."
As the live show near its end, Ruby wakes up from her crib, hearing the noise from the TV, she rose,
"Wait a minute...N Station already started! Why didn't you wake me up!?"
Ruby climbs down unti her crib, adoring her beautiful mother, Ai.
"Oh my god, mama's just too cute! All viewers should pay 100 million yen for this! Her expressiveness when she turns is outta this world! It's so eerie it's like she an oni! Oh my...I just changed diapers but I feel like I'm gonna wet myself!
She has a great face, great figure and her singing is excellent too! Our mom truly is a tremendous talent! I've gotta go back and watch the recording ASAP!
Live broadcasts are best watched in real time, so why didn't you wake me up?! This body of mine always get so tired, so let's help each other out!"
"I woke you up a number of times." Aqua replied.
"Oh, you did? (#RubysADummy) "

Meanwhile, in real time of Ai's side...
"Okay, good to go!"
As Ai finishes her make up, she quickly went ahead outside, fans gather around the barrier, guarded by heavy police, but even after that Ai couldn't help but shake some hands with them. While so, a tall figure amongst the crowd caught her attention. His faced looked familiar to her, as if she met this person, but Ai couldn't recall any memories with this person or of this person, but for some reason, she's drawn unto him, she wrote her phone number down and quickly pretended to put the pen and paper on her pocket. She then called for the same person, the guy hesitantly approached. Ai reaches for a hand while hiding the same paper on it. As they shook hands, Ai left the paper on his hands in which the guy was also suprised.
As the fans watch her leave, he hides this paper on his jacket and left the crowd.
Ai enters Ichigo's car,
"Huh? Where's Miyako-san?"
"Sigh, he we go again...she's babysitting you children."
"Oh yeah, I forgot, Ruby and Aqua...hehe, silly me!"
Ichigo starts the car's engine.
"...., So how did it feel? The performance."
Ai crawls in between the sits, switching to the front while the car moves
"W-wait, Ai-, you can't do that!"
"It felt like forvever back there, tehee. Oh, yeah, the performance...It was great to see the fans again that to the point I almost forgot I had children, toinks.", Ai smiled foolishly
Ichigo sighed sharply,
"Well... traffic...,great."
Almost 2 hours later...
The door slowly creaks open as Ai take a gentle peak inside before completely entering the apartment with Ichigo. Miyako noticed the both and quickly got up and greeted the both.
"Oh, you twoo are finally back... It seems to have been a success. Take some rest, you two."
Ai looks around the room, looking for her children, she spotted their crib and walked towards them, confirming they're asleep before turning to Miyako to thank her.
"Thank you for taking care of Aqua anf Ruby, Miyako-san."
"Stop thanking me like I always had a choice for those two." Miyako yawns.
"But still, thank you." Ai chuckled.
Miyako was shocked for a moment before turning to Ichigo.
"Had she...been possessed."
Ichigo scratched his head, also wondering when did Ai bump her head in the car.
"Well...maybe she's just really matured."
"Oh, is that so, that's great then."
Miyako yawns once again
"I'm sleepy, let's go home already."
"Yeah, good idea. Ai, we'll be off for tonight, I guess we'll celebrate it tomorrow, goodnight."
"Oh, goodnight Mr. President." Ai replied as she sat on the balcony's chair.
As Miyako and Ichigo leaves the room, Ai opens her ringing phone and answers it.
"Hello hello? Are you the guy?"
"Yeah..."
"Thanks, this is... a lot and I've probably appreciated you accepted the number and called me."
"Well, who would not call when the paper says 'call me, we need to talk'. "
Ai chuckled nervously, "Argh, what situation did I just put myself into, I just gave my number to a completely random stranger, or is he...for some reason i felt so drawn about him, like, that time... not in a weird way...he's for sure someone older than me. But, what did draw me? Is this guy a memory when I was still in a relationship him?"
"So anyways, you really looked similar, but I just couldn't remember it, about when, where, but I'm pretty sure I've seen you more than once before, but at the same time, i couldn't remember...Ehe, I'm sorry if I'm being confusing."
"...It's fine."
"And oh, by the way, what's your name?"
"Akira...Akira Kiyoshi."
"Akira Kiyoshi...you're pretty rare considering have two known names, I suppose? Or am I mistaken?"
"It's understandable, Akira is the surname."
"Woah, isn't that like, a pretty rare surname?" Ai replied in excitement.
"Just uncommon, 'pretty rare' is a bit of an exaggeration..."
"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry." Ai scuffed.
"So, how about meeting tomorrow?"
Silence
"I don't think it would be appropriate to have a 17 year old Idol ask out for a walk with a total stranger who's her senior."
Ai chuckled.
"No, it's fine, so, where to meet?"
"Uhh...well, maybe-"
The phone dies
Ai looks at her battery percentage
"Oh, I should have charged this before the call, foolish of me...have I saved his number? Oh, i can look through the call log tomorrow. I should go to sleeping now."
Meanwhile...
Aqua heard the entire conversation while pretending to sleep through the way.
"Could it be dad mama's talking to the phone lately?" Ruby asked.
Aqua jumps in suprise.
"Oh, you're awake, you heard everything, too?"
Ruby shook her head
"No, I just woke up at the end part if the call before mama's phone to have seemingly died."
Aqua sighed in relief.
"I'm going back to sleep then, 'night, Ruby."
"Yeah, yeah, 'night."
"Akira Kiyoshi...what could his connection be with Ai..." Aqua thought as he turns to the side to sleep.
Ai went on to wash her face and brush her teeth before going to sleep, she turns the lights off as she carry the twins to their room to sleep. As she lay down, she couldn't remove the thought of it, looking at the ceiling, still full of questions unanswered.
"Akira...Kiyoshi?"
