Angel of HEAVENS (Uta no Prince Sama)

Chapter Twenty-one

Time passed quickly and it was already the middle of January. The members of HEAVENS got busier during that time. They were already popular but winning the decisive concert gave a boost to their popularity.

Catarina sighed. Everything was going well. Their boss seemed to have changed for the better. He was now a lot reasonable but still strict. HEAVENS' schedule was packed. But, the blonde composer was unhappy about one thing. It was about songs.

In the previous six months or so, Catarina had to compose a large number of songs; that even caused her to lose consciousness once. After that, when she was supposed to relax a bit, the whole drama of Raging Otori started.All together, she didn't get the opportunity to give herself a break .

So HEAVENS decided to keep her away from composing for a good amount of time. They told her to take a long break. HEAVENS wasn't going to release any new songs at the moment anyways.

But being the workaholic she is, she wanted to work on more songs; even though her mind was void of ideas. Even so, she just wanted to work. Yet, she couldn't. One reason was her lack of ideas for songs at present and the other cause was her seven friends forbidding her from working.

So here she was making three cups of hot chocolate. Among HEAVENS' busy schedule, Eiji and Shion managed to get the day off. Catarina decided to give them company. It was after lunch when Shion was taking a nap and Eiji was working in his garden.

"Rin."

"Oh,Shion!You're awake?"

"Mmm."

"Then it's a good thing I made three cups.Want one?" Catarina offered a cup of freshly made hot chocolate to the albino.

The younger boy nodded and accepted it with a thanks.

"Would you like to join me and Eiji?"

". . .where?"

"In his garden."

"Okay."

So the two of them headed for the brunette's garden.

.  .  .  .  .  .  .

"You've grown to be really pretty.I hope the rest of you also bloom wonderfully."

When Catarina and Shion entered Eiji's garden, they found the male talking to his flowers gently. A real angel.

"Hi Eiji." Catarina's voice startled him as he was busy praising his flowers that he didn't notice the two's presence.

"Wah! Rin-chan! And Shion too, you surprised me."

"Sorry."She apologized feeling not a bit sorry. It was worth seeing that cute reaction.

"What are you doing here?" Eiji asked.

"Oh right." The female remembered her purpose."I made hot chocolate. Let's drink together."

"Thanks,Rin-chan." He accepted the extended glass. The three then sat on the Japanese wooden patio. With Shion and Eiji on her both sides, Catarina sat in the middle.

"Eiji, your garden is wonderful."

"Thanks,Shion."

"Even in the winter, the flowers are blooming. This must be the result of your hard work," Catarina added.

"No.Because of work,nowadays I don't get time to tend to them.But I'm glad they are growing well."

"Isn't it because you take good care of them?"
