Part 4 ~ What about a Cat’s Ball? 
I woke the next morning in a hyper mood as I got up and change into my work clothes again; I work nearly six days a week except Monday, that’s when the store is closed. Which is funnily enough is tomorrow. Kira waltzes in wearing the same clothes as me, she only works on certain days like today, Wednesday and Tuesday.
“Ready for the Cat’s ball” she says as she places on a cat ear’s headband and a fake tail. She places one on me too as well as Haku, who had to work with us today, he only works on Sunday and Thursday. We all walk out as today at work is called the ‘Neko’s ball’.

[Ten minutes later]
The three of us walk in and was instantly glomped by Kuro.
“Welcome my Hime and her fore-clones” Kuro announces as Sariya walks out and restocks the shelves as she yells her greeting, Momi instantly attaches herself to me as we both manned the registers while Kira helps with Restocking and Kuro and Haku supervise the store and help the very few people in there.
“So, you plan to update the Isshi story?” Momi says as we both finish serving our customers. I give a thought as I shrug.
“No idea, I’m out of Ideas at the moment” I calmly say as I look around the shop.
“Is Nao hooked up to anyone in your story?” she asks softly as she looks at me. I rethink over my story.
“No, he is the only one who isn’t” I simply say as Momi grabs my hands.
“Please put me in it and hook me up with Nao” she says as sparkles invaded her eyes…and did I just see a fairy waltz by?…Anyway I give a quick thought and the answer is so obvious.
“Yes, and do I sense Momi likes Nao?” I say as a smile crosses my face, I nudge her gently as she blushes.
“Hai, we plan to see each other again” she says as I give a happy squeal and hug her, she returns one with equal joy.
“I’m so happy for you” I say cheerfully as we notice some customers. 
“Sorry” we both say as we let go of each other and quickly serve them all.
“What about you and you-know-who?” she asks as she hands a customer their purchase as I serve my next customer, Sunday is one of the busiest days, due to all the school students. I give a thought as I felt my face heats up.
“What about me and him?” I recoil unsure on what to say. She laughs and finishes off her customers as I finish up with mine.
“Come on, you two never stop looking at each other and when you start talking. No one seems to catch either of your attention, trust me, me and Nao walks out and you two seem to be in your own world” Momi states as I felt myself blush.
“Nah, we’re just friends, it can’t be more than that” I simply say as I serve the girl at my register as Momi gives me a funny look. I hand the girl her purchase. “What?” I say as she gives a sigh.
“Oh come on, you are so oblivious to people who has the hots for you. I swear if you were on the outside, you should see the looks he gives you, it’s so sweet” she says as she places her hands on her chest as someone waltzes up to the register. We both look up and see Nao.
“Hiya Nao-San” I say as he smiles brightly at me.
“Hiya Aki-chan” he says as he leans over and gives Momi a peck on her cheek. She blushes and so does Nao.
“Hello Nao” Momi softly says as he sneaks around and stands next to Momi. She gives him a hug which he returns. I simply served the next person till Sariya disco dances over to me with Kira. 
“Love is in the air, everywhere we look around” they both sing at the top of their lungs as I couldnt help but laugh. Nao and Momi just blushes. Shin marches in and leans on the register.
“Now Nao, your suppose to be going to the recording studio, lucky that Isshi sent me to follow you” Shin says as Kira gives a small squeak, which Shin notices.
“Kira-chan, no time no see” he says with a smile as Kira mutters something as she felt herself being tugged away by Shin, me and Sariya gives a laugh. It seems like everyone in Kagrra, is getting along with someone we work with. Nao gives a sigh.
“I guess I have to go” he says as he gives Momi a quick kiss and hug as he walks past Shin and drags him to the recording studio as Kira comes back smiling.
“Oh what has made you so happy?” I purr as she gives a little giggle.
“Shin asked me out and I said yes” she says as she jumps around in joy.
“I look forward to after work” Momi says as I presume she is going out with Nao. Me and Sariya just simply smile at each other.

[After Work]
Kira and Momi disappear with Shin and Nao while me, Sariya, Kuro, Itsuki and Haku decide to do something fun. Still dressed in work clothes with our Cat attire, we all ran off to the closest arcade and instantly took over the DDR machines [Dance Dance Revolution XD]. I was up first against Kuro on extreme mode; we all danced like crazy people while a crowd forms around us. I didnt know whether it was the fact two chicks in skirts was dancing or the fact that you could her nothing but perfect out of the machines. 
“God, you two will never beat each other” Haku says as we finish our allotted games with equal scores. Sariya and Haku took over and played on hard mode, which now had to stay that way between everyone. Me and Kuro cheers them on, unknowing to them that three people walk in and join the group in watching. Sariya sulks off being defeated by Haku as Itsuki refuses to play, so I took up the challenge. 
Before long Haku was sulking along with Sariya as me and Kuro decided to have another bout of extreme DDR. Always with the same results, perfects and equal scores.
“This will never work” Kuro says as the five of us leave the arcade in search of Ice Cream, we found a small stand. I ordered a choc chip, Kuro had banana, Haku and Itsuki decided on hazelnut and Sariya had vanilla. We all sat around happily enjoying the Ice cream as the wind blows along our warm skin.
“I swear we should enter a DDR competition” Kuro says as I laugh happily.
“And get pawned by professionals” I add as Kuro laughs and the rest of the group chokes on their Ice cream.
“Akiina-chan” someone calls out as Akiya sits next to me and gently rubs my cheek with the back of his hand. “You had Ice cream there” he smiles as I give a nervous laugh.
“How did you notice it was me?” I ask as he gives a hum.
“Your hair” he says as I tug my hair.
“My hair?” I question as I hear two people give a laugh.
“No, Isshi noticed you” Izumi says as he and Isshi sat with our group on the benches. I give a small blush as a small laugh came from me. Kuro starts coughing as I pat her back, she managed to choke on Ice Cream. Haku laughs even harder until he fell off the chair, which made everyone laugh and ease the atmosphere. Akiya migrates from next to me and next to Sariya which results in Isshi being next to me.
“Hello Akiina-chan” he simply says as he sits next to me, I smile up at him.
“Hello Isshi-san” I happily reply as I quickly finish the last of my snack. “How was your day?” I simply ask as he gives a sigh.
“Tiring and uneventful, till now that is” Isshi says as I give him an odd look. “I mean, I got to see you and your friends again, you all amuse me greatly” He quickly adds as I couldnt help but laugh at his reaction. “What?”
“Hahaha you amuse me, Isshi-san” I simply say as Haku suddenly stands up.
“Lets go and do Karaoke, we dont have work tomorrow and I’m not sure about you rock stars among us retards are up to this, but we can do some mean Karaoke especially our Koneko” Haku suddenly says as I stand up and give him a playful punch on his shoulder.
“I suck, get use to it” I simply say as everyone agrees to Karaoke. We all walk to the closest Karaoke bar, I never really notice how close Isshi was standing, and only Itsuki seem to notice and was not all that pleased.
