Chapter 1: Missing You...

It was 3 years after high school. Yuuya and Rei are now 19 and Ran, Miyu and Aya are 17.

Rei was feeling out of sort. He was now the FORMER champion of the grand prix and his fans are growing less and less by the minute. He was replaced by a new exchange student from England named Johann. He was now second and Yuuya, third. Adding insult to injury, Aya left for Ireland for 3 years now, adding to Rei's misery.

At the Starbucks Café...

"As I was saying..." muttered Yuuya but at the middle of his 'speech', he noticed Rei's disinterest. Feeling concern running through him, he asked his best friend, "Hey, anything wrong?" Rei did not notice him. He flung his hand in front of Rei's face and waved it casually. This broke Rei's trance.

"I said, is there something wrong, Mr. Dreamy Eyes?"

"Quit it, will you?" Rei replied, with the obvious coldness in his voice.

"You know, having less fans seem to be 'new' and 'boring', know what I mean?"

"I think it's great..." Rei said, "You get to have peace of mind..."

"Speaking of peace of mind, you've got an awful lot in your head now... Mind if you share?"

"Not that it's any of your business!" Rei hissed, giving him a cold glare.

"Of course it's my business! I'm your best friend!" Yuuya replied courageously.

"Fine, I guess you're right... It's just that... I miss her..." Rei staggered at his statement, hesitating to discuss this topic further.

"Hey, bro, I know what you mean... You'll get over it..." Yuuya assured.

"Yeah, but the thing is, her face just keeps on popping in my head... I can't get her out! I miss her terribly..." Rei succumbed to his feelings at last.

"She changed you, all of you..." replied Yuuya, "You're no longer the cold one I know, well, not as cold as the one I knew before... Somehow, you learned to smile..."

"I doubt it if she still likes me... I disregarded her before for God knows how many times yet she didn't still give up on me... Now that she's gone, I miss her... Terribly, like my whole life depends on her..." Rei continued, looking sadder and sadder by the moment.

At that same time, a familiar redhead came busting at the café and spotted the two boys.

"Yuuya! Rei! How have you been doing!?" Ran shouted like hell was after her.

"Ran!!! Oh, Ran, I missed you so much!!!" Yuuya stood up and hugged Ran tightly but unfortunately, she misinterpreted the hug and punched him hard on the head.

"Ow! That hurts!" Yuuya cried.

"Serves you right, pervert!" Ran mouthed.

Just then, another familiar girl, blonde this time, came rushing forth dressed in a tank top and a mini skirt. She waved at them and ran toward them.

"Ran!!! How are you!? It's so nice to see you all! Yuuya! Rei!" Miyu exclaimed. All of them waved at her enthusiastically, save Rei, as usual.

"I'm fine! How about you!? Anything new?" Ran asked enthusiastically.

"Nothing much except that my heart still belongs to Yamato and we always keep in touch and..."

"I get the picture!" Ran interrupted, "My brother misses you too."

"Really!?" Miyu asked, dreamy-eyed.

"Of course he does, silly... He loves you..." Ran teased.

"Oh, how wonderful love is, don't you think?" Miyu commented.

"Love..." Rei quietly said.

All three of them turned to him with concerned eyes. He sat up and told them, "I've got work at the hospital, catch you later." Then he left hastily.

"Poor Rei... Wonder how Aya's doing..."

Dublin, Ireland, Hoshino Condominium

"Aya, I thought the plane leaves tomorrow morning. Why aren't you asleep yet?" asked her mom.

"Well, I'm quite excited to finally return home, mom... I'm too nostalgic for sleep... But thank you nonetheless, for the concern..." Aya replied, half-heartedly. Her mother seemed to notice her gloom and approached her.

"Is there something wrong, Aya?" asked her mom.

"Nothing mom... It's just that I really miss Japan..." Aya replied, half-sincerely.

"Japan or the boy with raven hair?" asked her mom with a mischievous smirk on her face.

"Mom! Rei is just a friend..." She mouthed silently.

"I didn't say it was Rei..."

"But you said he was raven-haired?"

"How many are raven-haired in Japan, hm?"

Aya was blushing at this. She couldn't find an answer to her mother's piercing question. Her mother seemed to notice this again.

"I guess you really like him, don't you? You didn't even have a single boyfriend here..." Mrs. Hoshino commented.

"I couldn't take his face out of my head mom... I just, miss him so badly, I guess..." Aya surrendered to her emotions as she hugged her mom and cried.

"Hush... Tomorrow the plane leaves with us and we're going to see him..."

"Mom? You're going to see him?"

"What? Don't want mom to know whom her daughter likes?"

"Yeah, right... Thank you mom..."
