Dream Star

"My Lila can"t live without my body," he nodded to himself, "So, I"m making sure you stay alive . "

Lil laughed, "Um, you"re serious about that?"

"Didn"t you say the same?"

Her gaze softened, "While being silly and flirting is all good . I"m getting hungry; I"ll make us something to eat . "

"Can I come with you?"

"En . . "

. . . . .
- Kitchen-

Let"s see, Lila opened the fridge and found the necessary ingredients . Lately, she"s been having a craving for sweet things but held it back . She didn"t want to get fat when she has so much work . However, hasn"t she held back enough? Once in awhile sweet things are good . Haruka"s lips curve to a smile, "Aren"t you worried about your weight?"

Lila pouted, "My self-control broke, besides, lately, I"ve been getting a lot of . . um exercise," every time they do it, she has to use a lot of strength after all .

Haruka"s lips brushed against her neck, "Maybe we should do more exercise after this . "

"Nuh, uh, I want to go over the tournament parameters . Mr . Judge, you have to explain things to me since you took me away from practice," Lila nodded . She can"t keep falling behind like this . In London, it was okay to miss practice since it was only a preliminary round . But now it"s the main tournament, "I don"t want to lose . "

She isn"t a compet.i.tive person, whether she wins the compet.i.tion . Lila already learned a lot and received a lot of opportunities . Because of the exposure of the Dream stars tournament, it made it easier for Haruka and Soichiro to get work for her . While they had plenty of job offers for her at the beginning, the other side hesitated slightly because she was unknown abroad . Of course, things would have differed if she just went with her real ident.i.ty from the start . However, the mission aside . Lila wanted to see how far she could go if things reset from the very beginning .

"When it comes to music, you become so serious," Haruka said .

"And you don"t?"

"Well, my seriousness is only because of you . "

Lila turned around and gently kissed him, "I don"t believe that," if Haruka really didn"t like music . Then how could he create such gentle and beautiful songs?

Haruka suddenly left her side, "I"ll do some work in the counter . If you need help, tell me . "

Lila nodded and watched as Haruka pulled out his laptop from the corner and placed it on the table . "And there he goes," Lila thought . She wonders why Haruka reacts in this manner whenever she says he is serious about music . Haruka isn"t like her and Kiryu, but he"s very skilled and talented . However, Haruka doesn"t like admitting it; he always puts himself bellow others . Honestly, it"s a waste . His voice is as good as Kiryu"s, maybe even better at times . He could easily become a singer, but Haruka continues to work behind the scenes . Lila turned back to working on baking the cake .

She cracked the egg and placed it inside the bowl . It"s not like there is anything wrong with his job . In fact, it strangely suits him, but she can"t help but think how much of a waste it is, for him not to sing . Also, "I want to sing together with him," it was one of her new dreams . Singing with Haruka . Lila didn"t know when this new dream of hers came about . But before she knew it, Lila desired to sing with him .

It"s not like she wants him to give up his career . Lila knew she had already gotten used to Haruka"s ident.i.ty as the demon judge, and, "Contrary to what he says, he does like being a judge and producer," he"s very good at it too . Haruka being a producer, meant they could spend more time together . It isn"t like when she was dating Kiryu .

After a few minutes had pa.s.sed, she felt a familiar sensation on her neck, "Haruka?"

"Sweet," he murmured .

Oh, he just wants blood . Well, she"s more or less finished now . Lila nodded, and Haruka carried her over to the table, "Nnghm . . . "

He"s drinking so much, what"s wrong with him?

"Lila, Lila . "

"Um, dummy, what are you doing?"

"I was thinking; it"s a nice scene . My wife is making me food . "

Lila"s cheeks reddened at his words, what idiotic things is this guy saying now? How stupid .

. . . .

Lila didn"t know how it ended up this way . But before she knew it, she found herself teaching Haruka .

"I"m doing it . . " he muttered .

"And also the cookie cutters," she instructed .

She looked up from her work and laughed out loud . Haruka was covered in white dough, his ap.r.o.n was a dirty mess, and his hair had white flour in it, on his left cheek was a small blot of the egg yolk he separated a while ago . She thought he looked . . cute . How rare, she really wants to take a picture of it . But if she does, then it will make it completely obvious . Okay, let"s just take a photo using her hearts lens .

"Why are you staring? Work," Haruka seemed irritated, and she laughed .

What"s wrong with staring when he looks so handsome? Lila stopped herself from saying those words, knowing full well how it would end up like .

"You"re a mess," Lila told him half the truth .

"Is that a problem?"

"It means you"re an immature cook who messes every ingredient . Look at me, not even a trace of stain on my hair or ap.r.o.n," Lila twirled around proudly as she showed her clean clothing . This was actually a first for her, not making a mess when she was cooking . So Lila wanted to show off while she could proudly .

Haruka rolled his eyes; then he suddenly reached out for the bag with extra flour . What is he doing? "Are you saying you"re better than me?" Haruka holds up a fist of flour, and Lila immediately understood what he was getting at .

Lila took a few steps back . "Haruka, I was just joking--," but Haruka had already thrown flour in her direction . It landed in her hair .

"This is war!" Lila shrieked and grabbed everything she could and threw it at him . She knew how childish she was acting, but Lila couldn"t help it . She was very serious about this .

It was rare, but Haruka was laughing .

He was laughing hysterically at our their immature game . Lila was enjoying herself . She continued ensuring that Haruka was getting hit by food, dropping an egg yolk on his forehead, leading to it dripping on his eyes . When he covered, Haruka hit her with some meatb.a.l.l.s, which she managed to dodge .

But right as she dodged that attack, "Incoming," Haruka said . Lila tried to sneak up from behind him with the chocolate syrup . But Haruka used that to chance to grab her arm and twist her around .

Lila stared at him with wide eyes . She felt the pressure behind his gaze and turned shy . "Oh no, what has she gotten herself into?" Lila thought . Previously it was all full and games, but now? Lila"s mind went black, what is Haruka going to do?

Just as he was about to lean over, something fell from her pocket . The bright light caught our attention, of course . Both of us stood up as the little box opened and turned in to a diamond . Lila knew this pattern . "You were keeping contact with Rolins?"

"Ah, huh . . . " Lila trailed off as she recalled something . "But she said . . . This wouldn"t show up unless something happened to her . Something must have happened to her," she trailed off . A flash of concern appeared on her face . Hannah Rolins was a woman she met on a job in London .

Haruka raised his eyebrow but said nothing . The little diamond open and a hologram of Haanhah came up . "Lila . . . I know I have little time left . Something happened last night . Well, early morning for you . . That person discovered us . . She brought my companion and me to a strange lab . . "

Lab?

"I don"t know what"s going on here . But the last thing I remembered was seeing H grab T . They brought her somewhere . This is one s.h.i.+tty mess, they"ve already done something to her . She wouldn"t speak to me anymore . I think it"s the same as what" she did to the others . Teras.h.i.+msama don"t en---"

The communicating device broke and landed on the cooking cla.s.sroom floor . Lila couldn"t believe what had happened . . . Why? How come they got in trouble? Lila found it hard to believe that they got caught, despite the instructions . Her grown deepened, somebody in that group must have said something .

Haruka patted her shoulder . "Don"t worry . I"ve sent those two to England . They should be searching for her right now . . "

Lila only managed to nod her head . How did this happen suddenly? How come she didn"t notice it . Something terrible was happening, and now, the peaceful times are over . She knew that there was no time to be playing around . However, Lila wanted to spend some more time with him . To think her impulsive decision would end up to people getting hurt .

"This is serious . You knew, didn"t you?"

Haruka nodded his head, "Yeah . Sorry, This has got to be the worst day you ever had . "

"It isn"t"

Haruka grinned like he expected her answer before he shook her head . He grabbed hold of her chin and pulled her closer, so she was staring directly at his sparkling eyes .

" . . We can still salvage the cake . . " He corrected softly . . then his face was on her neck .

Lila gasped . When she realized what he was doing, she started to moan .

His lips tasted the different flavors they had thrown at each other . Haruka licked the frosting on her neck and cleaned it up to her chin, then onto her neck, repeating the circuit and making her s.h.i.+ver .

Lila couldn"t breathe . She started to hyperventilate . Gosh . Gosh . Then she felt Haruka slowly move below her ears, wiping off the spaghetti sauce .

She took that as a cue to do something herself . Lila leaned into him and ate the strawberry dangling on his shoulders . It was delicious, and it made her want to bite him more . Lila shook her head, "Not now," don"t destroy the moment .

His hands had its own volition as it trailed on her shoulders before she felt it move up to her wrist, then, on her waist . Lila couldn"t think clearly . Her hands were on Haruka"s hair .

His scent drove her crazy . She clung to him as hard as she could . Lila caressed his cheek with her tongue and tasted the bitter cake . It was sweet and pleasant, despite the random flavors they threw together .

This is so stupid .
