RAGING HEAVENS

Chapter Seven

Ai Mikaze. His light blue hair glowed-igniting its radiance in the moonlight. While his eyes reflected light with the same brilliance as the pale moonlight.

"Nanami, you seem indecisive according to my scans. Do you acquire...liberation?"

Nanami couldn't believe her luck. Here was a QUARTET NIGHT member offering her an out. While others hadn't. Was there someone truly listening to her, up there?

She nodded a short thanks.

'Eiichi Otori could wait a few more hours' she thought. He didn't seem to mind-when she had left him. Not even lifting a single muscle for her to come back.

Ai opened the door to the car, and the both of them left without further complication. Leaving Raging Entertainment behind.

Nanami sighed in relief. Her body slowly relaxing with the steady rhythm of the car.

Shortly, after departing from Raging Entertainment. The car stopped in-front of the park; that had a lake in the center of it.

Upon opening the door, Ai had walked towards the edge of the lake-where water met the grass. Kneeling down, setting his hands straight out. Almost as if he was reaching for something that he couldn't have, no matter how hard he had tried.

The water reflected the light of the moon. Nanami stared up at the lonely moon. The moon resembled her in a sense. Surrounded by stars,,,STARISH, QUARTET NIGHT, even HEAVENS.

But, could never be with them. Her life was a life of a moons; forever left alone. It was a poor analogy, but that was the only thing that she could compare her life to. Ever since getting accepted into Saotome Academy and meeting STARISH was when her life changed.

The greatest thing about Ai was he didn't talk. But, he was there for Nanami giving her some space which she needed. But never knew how much until now.

"Nanami, do you like being with HEAVENS?" Ai asked, while his eyes stayed staring outward.

Nanami Haruka was surprised at the sudden question.

What could she possibly respond with? Eiichi Otori was a mad, and spoiled rich kid. He didn't know anything about her, and Ai asked if she like him, and HEAVENS. What kind of question was this?

She couldn't respond since her throat was caught.

Wind rustled through the cool, midnight air. Rustling the nearby trees, "I am sorry. "Ai expressed. As, he still looked forward. His eyes still remaining solely on the illuminated water before him.

And that's all it took to make one, Nanami Haruka...relax. She couldn't remember the last time she felt so free.

She loved Ai Mikage in this moment for taking her way for some time that she needed all to herself.

Shortly, after departing from Raging Entertainment the car stopped in-front of a park that had a lake in the center of it. Nanami quickly thought of how beautiful it would be the park in the daytime.

Upon opening the door, Ai had walked towards the edge of the lake- where water met the grass. Kneeling down, setting his hands straight out. Almost as if he was reaching for something that he couldn't have, no matter how hard he had tried, and supported himself upright.

The water reflected the light of the moon. Nanami stared up at the lonely moon. The moon resembled her in a sense. Surrounded by stars....STARISH, QUARTET NIGHT, even HEAVENS.

But, could never be with them. Her life was a life of a moons; forever left alone.

Circulating over many stars, but could never be one. It was a poor analogy, but that was the only thing that she could compare her life to. Ever since getting accepted into Saotome Academy and meeting STARISH was when her life changed. The greatest thing about Ai was he didn't talk. But, he was there for Nanami giving her some space which she needed. But never knew how much until now.

"Nanami, do you like being with HEAVENS?" Ai asked, while his eyes stayed staring outward.

And that's all it took to make one, Nanami Haruka, relax. She couldn't remember the last time she felt so free. She loved Ai Mikage in this moment, for taking her away for some time that was focused only on herself.

A few moments later there car parked at the front of Raging Entertainment. What surprised her, however, was the lean form of Eiichi Otori, who stood awaiting for her return. The edge of his glasses illuminating in the dense moonlight, Nanami's eyes were glued on this haunting figure before her. The shadow of the man, making his form even more intimidating then it already was.

"I needed time." Nanami expressed. Her vibrant, yellow- eyes - wavering in between worry and disappointment. She closed her eyes- awaiting for the fight that was moment away from starting. So she was surprised when Eiichi didn't yell at her, but instead patted her head, gently. Almost as if he was calming her by such a simple action. He didn't say any words, only remained quiet. While, he just there for her... She appreciated it, however, there earlier fight wouldn't leave her alone.

"What changed?" Nanami's question froze his actions.

The hand that was gently rubbing circles into her back went limp and back to his side.

"Since I was kid- my life was nothing but cameras. My life revolved around a schedule. There wasn't any time left for friends. My mother died shortly after my fourth birthday, and I consider my dad dead. Even though, he has power over HEAVENS. My point is, I have never knew how to talk to people. I always believed that I could have everything if I simply took it without thinking of the repercussions of my actions. Seeing you cry, and run off made me feel something. It made feel for the first time how lonely I am, and how stupid I've been acting."

Nanami was shocked by Eiichi's explanation; never in all her thoughts would she think that Eiichi Otori, HEAVENS lead, would ever have a heart. Nanami Haruka smiled a real smile this time, maybe this relationship wasn't doomed after all.

Nanami lifted her hand up and rested it solely on his cheek. He closed his eyes, he could feel that she lifted off his glasses. He didn't care, as he opened his eyes to be met with a warm gaze that erupted strange things within his mind. His hand reached Nanami's and placed his hand on-top of hers.

It only took moments for their lips to meet and crush against each other's. Eiichi fighting for hers to open, which Nanami conceded. His arms snacked their way around her body, caressing over her slim form pulling her closer to his. As Nanami hurled her arms around Eiichi's neck, and finally for the first time in a long time felt happy. With the drama with STARISH in the background; she needed this, and so did he.
