Tomoyo was getting ready to open in the main part of the restaurant when his phone rang. He looked at the caller I.D. and saw that it was Adaa. Sighing, he picked up. "Hello?" He wasn't sure what else to say. He blamed her for the reporters, but it technically wasn't her fault. So he wasn't going to be mean to her or anything. He just needed to stay calm, after all she had helped them.

She could hear that he wasn't exactly thrilled about her calling. "I just wanted to say sorry about what happened...Its because of me that it did. Is Kasumi-chan alright," she asked, worried. She sat back in her chair, nervously running a hand through her hair.

Tomoyo nodded to the sorry. "It's okay... Kasumi is home, she'll be all better in a little bit. She was doing pretty good before I dropped her off at home." He informed her. It touched him that Adaa cared so much about Kasumi. It showed character, and he always liked someone who liked his sister.

"Ah...I see..." She looked around, trying to think of what else to say. "Well, that was all." She sighed and lowered her head to the table. "I am sorry."

Tomoyo leaned against the counter and nodded. "It's really okay. I mean.... It's not really your fault about the reporters..." He didn't find it right to make her feel so bad. "Kasumi wants to see you again..."

she laughed softly. "I would like to see her again also. I, uh, have a concert tomorrow. I could send tickets and backstage passes. You both could come as my guests. Unless Kasumi wants to go with someone else, or you dont want to come..." her voice trailed off when she realized it had become slightly higher.

Tomoyo was surprised. "Seriously? My sister will kill you." He laughed lightly, hearing her pitch of voice. He didn't understand why it went so high but didn't questions it. "We'd love to go."

She let out a breath in relief. She smiled and nodded her head, even thought he couldn't see it. "Okay. I will send you the tickets and such tomorrow then...Bye bye." She hung up the phone before she did anything more embarrassing. She sat there, blinking and realized that he had said yes. She wiggled a little in her chair in a slight dance then stood, running around to get ready. She had a rehearsal to get to.

Tomoyo nodded. "Okay. Bye." After that he blushed slightly, pushed his glasses up and let the people come pouring in. Which they did.... They were extremely busy they had a line out the door and he called for some family to come down and help.

Adaa made sure tickets and such were sent to Tomoyo, adding a silly picture that she drew for Kasumi. She smiled and then went back to practicing on the stage. Everyone was feeling pretty good about the concert since Adaa was known to always pull them off quite well. Adaa practiced some of the choreography until her manager told her it was time to end and go home. She left in a company car, to tired to walk the way and entered her home. She got ready for bed and then fell asleep. She debated sending a good night text to Toyomo and decided to send, "see you tomorrow," instead. She smiled, holding the phone in her hands and fell asleep.

Tomoyo was amazingly asleep when the phone rang, in Kasumi's tiny little hands. She was curled up to him, and he made sure he woke up quietly and slowly and carefully took the phone from her. He smiled at the message, but didn't reply. He put the phone back in Kasumi's hands and fell back asleep. ~~~ At the restuarant the next day, Kasumi found the envelope and was excited to see what was in it.

The next day she was hurried from one place to another to get ready for the concert. Their was last minute fittings for the costumes, last minute tweaks in the song placing and such. Later that day she sat in her dressing room, her hair was spiraled in to long ringlets that rioted around her fragile face. Her amber eyes was accentuated by black eyeliner and mascara. Her lips were painted a deep, matte, red. She was helped in to her black leather pants, and leather vest with the wide lapels. Her assistant helped her boot on the black boots, making sure they were tied tight enough. Before she knew it, it was time to go on. She strode down the hall, her entertainer mask in place. She sauntered on to stage, the bright lights and cheering crowd as familiar as a baby's blanket. She smirked at the crowd and saluted them jauntily. They roared and yelled her name.

"Im going to assume you are all ready to begin this then," she drawled in to the microphone. The drummer hit his drumsticks together, counting the beat and then she dived right in to the song. Her powerful voice filled the stadium and drew everyone in to the song. This was what she liked to do, this was what she had always wanted. To be right here, singing to the crowds and be blinded by the stage lights. This was it.

Tomoyo was dragged around while Kasumi wanted to wear the right thing and be pretty. She wore her nicest shirt and nicest jeans, and had Tomoyo brush her hair and put it up into a high ponytail, which she then made her curl the bottom of her hair. She was one girly girl for sure. After she was ready she helped Tomoyo get ready and then she made him hurry to the concert. At the concert she sat on Tomoyo's shoulders, and listened to her idol and friend sing. Tomoyo had to say that Adaa had a beautiful voice. He was amazed. After the concert he put Kasumi's backstage pass on her and then put his on and lead her backstage, holding her to him tightly so he wouldn't lose her.

Adaa joked around with the crowd a bit more after the concert and then left, going backstage. She raised her arms over her head and stretched as assistants came up to wipe the sweat from her brow and give her water to drink. She smiled and congratulated everyone. It had been a really good concert and everyone was pretty excited for the festivities afterwards. There were some fans backstage who she graciously gave autographs, but there were two fans in particular that she was looking for. She finally spotted them and she lifted a hand to wave.

Tomoyo stood in the back holding Kasumi. He was telling her that Adaa was busy and she had to wait for everyone else to go away. He saw Adaa wave and he waved back before telling Kasumi, who squirmed out of his arms and ran to her. "Adaa!" Tomoyo sighed and followed.

"Kasumi," Adaa called back as she met her mid way. She picked her up and swung her around. "How are you," she asked as she held her close. "Did you like the concert?" She just then realized the flashes going off from photographers and she held back the cringe. She hadn't thought about them and now she had put them an uneasy position again. Her eyes trailed over to Tomoyo the worry apparent in them.

Kasumi grinned happily. "Good! Adaa has a pretty voice." She told her happily. Tomoyo watched as flashes went off and sighed. He just shrugged when Adaa looked over at her with the worry look. Apparently being Pop Star Adaa's friend was going to be harder than he thought. But Kasumi was happy and that was all that mattered.

She half smiled at the shrug and rolled her eyes saying 'what can you do?' She carried Kasumi over to Tomoyo and her half smile turned in to a grin. "Hey...wanna make this more exciting? Give them something to talk about?" A mischievous glint was in her eyes as she grinned impishly at him.

Tomoyo watched as she walked over and pushed his glasses up before sticking his hands in his pockets. He raised an eyebrow at her words. "How would we do that?" He asked confused.

She tightened her arm around Kasumi and grabbed his hand. "We run." She laughed and yanked him as she began to run down the hall away from the paparazzi. Her heels clicked noisily against the hard ground and she realized Kasumi was heavier then she thought, but Adaa was strong and able to hold on to her well enough. They rounded a corner, startling people and she grinned at them, wishing them a good night. She knew of a spot in the building where no one went because it was supposedly haunted. A rumor she in fact started so she could have someplace to be alone. They arrived at the top floor corner room in due time and she closed the door fast behind them.

Kasumi blinked and held on tight to Adaa when she began to run. Tomoyo stumbled awkwardly behind Adaa. He was not a runner. He wasn't athletic at all. And then they were in a room in which he had no clue about. "Why'd you do that? Won't you get introuble?" He asked concerned about her career. They were just normal people, why did she want to hang out with them so badly?

"Na, its fine," she said as she set Kasumi down. "Its fun to mess with them every once in a while." She grinned and turned, heading farther in to the room. It was a pretty spacious room with tvs and couches. It had lots of dark glass windows and a door that led out to a balcony. She slid open the door, letting the fresh breeze come in and she turned back to them. "Ah, I didnt think again. I had wanted to tease the paparazzi, but ended up dragging you in to it again." She looked down and bit her bottom lip. "Im sorry."

Once Kasumi was put down she ran and flopped onto one of the big couches. It was soft and she liked it. Tomoyo watched Adaa. He had to say he liked her better without all the make-up. She had such pretty features that the make-up ruined it. He shrugged once again. "It's fine."

She smiled gently at Kasumi and then turned to look back at Tomoyo. "I seem to be putting you in uncomfortable situations a lot. I dont tend to be so impulsive usually..." She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. She noticed him staring at her face and she blinked. "Um...what? Is there something on my face?"

Tomoyo blinked and shook his head. Then nodded. "Yeah... Make up. Why do they put so much? You're pretty without all that junk on your face." He told her. Kasumi just rolled around and bounced on the sofa.
