Recording Studio

Yuki got home late that day. The next day, when Yuki was about to enter News’ room, she saw Linda leaning on the wall next to the door, staring into space. Yuki stood in front of her, “Linda-chan?”

Linda snapped from her daydream. “Yuki! I’ve been looking for you all night and all day!” she exclaimed.

Yuki looked amused. “Why are you looking for me?” she asked.

Linda pout. “I miss you. I could not find you last night. Where were you? I was worried you were not able to cope working here. I kind of feel guilty if you are not happy working here because I forced you here,” she said.

Yuki laughed. “Baka. I am happy here. How about you? I heard you are always storming out of News’s meetings in fits of anger. What is really wrong between the two of you?” Yuki asked.

Linda frowned. “Don’t ask. He’s a huge idiot. I cannot understand why so many girls like him anyway. Not only that, my uncle even likes him a lot! This really makes my life miserable,” Linda complained.

“You make mine miserable too,” a voice answered from behind.

The two girls spun around and saw Yamapi is his forever stylish dressing, staring at them from behind his sunglasses. “Speak of the devil and here he comes. Yuki, is this building too bright or is it only him who thinks that? Wear such huge sunglasses in the bright light. Only weird people like him do that. Anyway, Yuki, let’s go. Oh ya, you blind guy, there is recording for News later at 10am. Be punctual or I cut off your pay!” dragged Yuki away before he could retort something sarcastic.

Yuki was amused by them. “Linda, where are you taking me?” she asked.

“Recording studio! Ne, haven’t we been wanting to record our own CD? Now, we can do it! Hehe...” Linda grinned.

“Linda, is it legal? Will your uncle be furious?” Yuki asked.

“Nope, News producer has agreed to let us record a couple of songs for fun,” Linda answered.

The couple went ahead and had fun recording the songs without knowing that News were listening and watching them. “Hey, your sister’s voice is very nice,” Shige praised.

“Yeah, Linda’s voice is not bad too, right, Pi?” Ryo nudged him, teasing him.

Pi scowled. “That brat is not that bad for a crow,” he replied and went off.

News scampered to their studio, not wanting to get caught by the two girls. The producer gave them their CD as promised but he secretly had another CD with him to let Johnny listen.

meeting with shige

Yuki’s next meeting with Takamori Sensei ended well. She managed to express the meaning of the song perfectly. Though takamori sensei was pleased with her performance, he still did not praise her but instead told her, “ sakurako, you can do better than that.” and walked out the music room. Leaving Yuki was baffled by his comments as she saw him nodding his head while she was playing.

“ Sensei, chotto matte kudasai.” Yuki ran after him. however she was unable to catch up with him. Walking along the music rooms, she heard someone playing the guitar. Yuki wanted to see who it was but she knew it is rude to walk in just like that. Therefore, she tried to see thru the glass door. It was dark inside.

Yuki was trying to find the person inside when suddenly a face stared at her thru the glass. She got a shock and step back.

“ sorry sorry, did I scare you? Are you ok?” the person asked her. yuki just shake her head as she take a deep breath. “ I’m ok. Sorry. I was just being curious. Really sorry. i gotta go now. Sorry once again” yuki ran to the music room and slam the door behind her.
“ baka… why did I do that”

Someone knocked on the door of the music room, yuki nearly scream as she had her back on the door. Timidly, she open the door and saw the person just now. “ hi, I guess you dropped this. By the way, I’m kato shigeaki, just call me shige will do. I’m a friend of your brother. We meet before remember at NEWS room?” yuki took her keychain and shake her head. “ thanks.. um.. Sorry, I cant remember, anyway, as you know i’m tegoshi yuki, tegoshi yuya sister. Nice to meet you.” Both of them shake hands.

“What are you doing here?” Shige asked yuki. “ I’m practicing for NEWS performance next week” yuki then went to her piano and was asked to play the song by shige. Shige was impressed and decided to ask her for opinion on the song he just wrote. Both of them then continued talking for hours.
