Chapter 17
The ride was not long, but it still feels like a while. We both sat in silence as I checked my phone for recent messages. I sighed as I spoke. "Nothing new. They're probably staring out the window" I said, as I looked out for my house. Ryuunosuke looked at me as he spoke. "Has Idolish7 been doing things like this lately?" he asked, as I nodded. "Yeah. They've been trying to help out as much as possible. I've been homesick lately, ever since the plane" I said, as I looked out the window. "But Idolish7 has been trying to help. They try to keep my mind off it and I keep putting myself in that mindset. They just want to help and I'm not letting them" I said, as I looked down again. "I probably should talk to them more. Knowing that we're a musical team" I said, as I looked out the window. "We're almost there," I said, as Ryuunosuke looked out the window. The house rolled up into view, showing a dark building with a little light on, which shined on the walkway. "This it?" he asked as I nodded. "It is. Thank you for everything, talking and the ride home" I said, as I grabbed my snow scraper. He shook his head. "Not a problem, glad I could help. Good luck with Idolish7" he said, as I opened the door. "Thanks, good luck to you too," I said, as I got out and shut the door. I watched as the limo drove out of the parking lot and down the street. I sighed as I turned back to the house, seeing a figure standing in the window. I couldn't see who it was, but I figured that they'd be looking out. I sighed, as I clenched my snow scraper and walked towards the house. The door opened as Kim was standing in her sweatshirt, watching me walk up. "You're finally home. We've been worried" she said, as I sighed. "Sorry for scaring you. I needed time to think" I said, as I looked at the window. Kim sighed as she spoke. "It's fine bestie. Let's just go inside" she said, as I nodded. "Sounds good, it's a little cold out here," I said, as she hugged me. I jumped in surprise as she spoke. "I'm so glad you're ok," she said, as I smiled. "It's going to be ok. I'm fine now" I said, as she looked up at me. I smiled as she hooked her arm around mine and we walked towards the house.
We walked into the house as I took off my shoes. Tsumugi was sitting on the couch and Sougo was looking out the window. "I'm home," I said, as Tsumugi looked up. "Welcome home," she said, with a smile. Sougo turned around as he spoke. "You've been out for a while. You ok, Songwriter?" he asked, as I nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Sorry for making you all worry" I said, as he shook his head. "Don't be. We just want to make sure your ok" he said, as running came into the room. "SONGWRITER!"Mitsuki and Tamaki both said together in sync. I looked seeing Iori, Yamato, Riku, and Nagi walking behind them. I sighed as the boys joined us. "I'm home and ok. No need" I said, as Mitsuki cut me off. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT? WE'VE BEEN BLOWING UP YOUR PHONE AND EVEN CONSIDERED CALLING THE POLICE!" I sighed as I spoke again. "I'm fine. Just went for a walk to think." "DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW WORRIED WE ALL WERE? YOU COULD'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED OR SOMETHING WORSE!" Tamaki yelled. I felt a mixture of sadness and happiness as I spoke. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to worry anyone" I said, as the two looked at me. "YOU HAD THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD WORRIED. WE THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T COMMING BACK" Tamaki yelled. I studied them as they started to continue. "Guys, stop yelling at her. She doesn't do well when people yell at her" Kim explained. I looked at Kim as I sighed. "You know me so well," I said, as she smiled. "Of course I do," she said, as I cracked a little smile.
"I don't mean to yell, I'm just worried" Tamaki explained. Mitsuki nodded as he spoke. "Yeah, she could've got hurt out there. It's a big world full of predators." I sighed as I spoke. "I understand your concern and I'm sorry," I said, as I looked at the boys. I looked at Riku, seeing him studying the scene in silence. "I'm sorry Riku. I hope you're feeling better" I said, as Riku nodded. "It's fine Songwriter. I'm more worried about you right now," he said, getting back on the topic. I sighed as I looked back down to study the ground. "By the way, where did you go?" Tsumugi asked as I sat on the arm of the couch. "I just went for a walk around town. I wanted to sightsee more. I also found a shop that sells notebooks. So when I go to write the next song, I can go there for another one." Kim smiled as she spoke. "Oh, that's great bestie. You got to take me there sometime" she said, as I looked at her. "Don't worry. I will," I said, as I cracked a little smile, but lost it. "I also ran into Ryuunosuke from Trigger," I said, as I looked up. Everyone looked at me in shock. "YOU DID!" the boys all said in sync. I nodded as I spoke. "He was really nice. Let me talk about the situation with him, then even gave me a ride home." "Did you see the rest of Trigger, or just him?" Riku asked as I sighed. "Just him. Sorry" I apologized with.
The room feels into silence as I thought about when I was out. I looked at my snow scraper as I burst out laughing. "What's so funny?" Kim asked as I continued to laugh. "I almost used the snow scraper on him. You should've seen his face" I said, as laugher bust out into the house. "What was his reaction?" Yamato asked as the laughter died down. I chuckled as I spoke. "He didn't expect to be attacked with a snow scraper. He sounded a bit impressed" I said, as I sighed. "Luckily, he dodged it before it actually hit him. I felt so bad but he also understood it was for protection." "Well, that's good. Luckily no one got hurt" Iori said. I nodded as I sighed. "Yeah. I still feel bad. I didn't realize who he was at first" I said with a bit of sadness in my voice. "Well, at least you defended yourself. It could've been worse" Sougo said as I nodded, but stayed silent.
I looked at the snow scraper in my hands as I stood up. "I'm gonna put this away until tomorrow," I said, as I started up the stairs. "Bestie" Kim said as she started to run up the stairs. I didn't look back, just went in my room and kept the door open. I knew she was going to walk on in behind me. A little knock came on the door as she walked in. "Bestie, are you holding a grudge?" she asked as I shook my head. "No. Just a little tired I guess" I said, as she sighed. "Well, it is late and we do start work tomorrow. Why don't we call it a night" she asked as I looked at her. "I'm going to get my bag ready for work first," I said, as I started to rummage through my closet, pulling out a little backpack. I looked around as I saw the bags from the shopping trip that Kim and I had, as I started to go through them. "So, you fixing your office tomorrow before you start?" she asked as I nodded. "Yeah. Either that or I'm staying after work to do it. I'm also going to correct the song tomorrow too" I said, as I went through the bags that I had. Kim sighed as she spoke. "The president told me while you were out that tomorrow is just going to be cleaning and organizing the studio. Even the boys are cleaning. I wonder when we're actually going to start working" she said, as I sighed. "Probably in a few days. It seems like the president wants us to be prepared and comfortable before work. I was just going to stay after work to fix up my office" I said, as Kim looked at me. "Well, you finish early and you can work on the song," she said, as I nodded. "Yeah. It won't take me long to set up my office. Thinking about starting work is making me excited" I said, as Kim looked at me. "There you go bestie. Just think about writing and I think you'll be all set." I nodded as I spoke. "Yeah. Maybe my homesickness will go away once we start working too. I'll be busy enough to" I said, as Kim smiled. "I'll be looking forward to the finished product," she said, as she gave me a hug. "And I'll look forward to seeing the dances that you'll make them do," I said, as she laughed. "Oh, this is going to be fun," she said with a sigh.
Kim looked at the PlayStation as she spoke. "What if we got the boys to sing theme songs from Kingdom Hearts?" she asked as I looked at her in shock. "That'll be awesome. But I have plenty to do right now" I said, as she nodded. "That'll be a later project" she said, with a smile. I sighed as I spoke. "I think this is going to be good for us. For all of us" I said, as I looked out at the door, like I was watching something. Kim sighed as she spoke. "Yeah. I certainly can't wait." The room fell into a deep silence as I continued to pack my things for work. Kim sat on my floor in front of my door, just making herself comfortable. I gathered up some pens as I put them into the backpack, then went to continue. I stopped as I looked around the room. "Where is," I said, as I thought to myself. I scratched my head as I walked over and looked in my closet. "Whatcha looking for bestie?" she asked as I sighed. "My laptop. I wanted to download that thingy I bought" I said, as I walked out and checked under my bed. Kim studied me as she spoke. "That virus thingy you bought?" she asked as I nodded. "Yeah. I wanted to download it tonight. Maybe it's still in one of the bags" I said, as I rummaged the bags. "Ah, here it is" I said, finally finding it. I looked at the back as I turned on my computer. I sighed as I spoke. "Sadly, it's only one use" I said, as Kim looked at me. "That's fine. Your the only one that needs to use something like that" she said, as I looked at her. "If it was for more than one, I would ask Tsumugi if she wanted one on her's. But I didn't have the money to get the multiple device one" I said, with a sigh. Kim sighed as she spoke. "I think Tsumugi will be fine. She probably has something similar to her computer already" Kim explained. I typed my password in as I started to open the box. "Your right. Seeing how it happened to them before" I said, as I started to download it.
I sighed as I started to read the directions. "It's going to be a long night for me," I said, as I plugged my charger into the computer. Kim looked up as she yawned. "One of those things that take hours?" she asked as I nodded. "Yeah, it is. Worst case scenario, I'll start it and let it download overnight" I said as she nodded. "Well, it's going to be a slow day at work. Now would be the perfect time to do it." We both sat in silence as I waited for the next step to pop up. Kim got up as she spoke. "I'm going to bed, night," she said, as I looked at her. "Night," I said, as I got comfortable for the night.
