Chapter 4

"AHRI-CHAN!!!" Mrs Fujiwara squeals as she hugs her adopted daughter who smiles happily and hugs her back. Her father joins in the family group hug. The others look on with little smiles on their faces. There is something endearing about Ahri's cute nature. Sure she is known as the Sexy Queen to many but her more innocent side is just as much of a draw.

The two women break away for a brief second with the mother taking a close look at her daughter. "Why did you walk out of the hospital like that though? It is dangerous especially after that terrible accident?" she asks in a worried tone.

Ahri just sighed. "If I did not leave then, they would have still replaced me anyways and declared me dead so I did them all a favour and made it easier for them." 

Mr Fujiwara places a hand on her shoulder. "You are being way too hard on yourself Ahri. Eve may have the talent but she does not have the charisma that your mum and I know that you have. These labels you have been under did not handle you well and only crippled you for Eve's sake." he says.

She stares down at the ground beneath her. "I….I  am not sure that I can sing again anyways." With that, she walks upstairs to her old room leaving everyone else behind.

"We should all back off and not pressure her too much because she has not gotten over all that hell. Let her rest." says Eren.

"Thank you for bringing her here." says Mr Fujiwara. "It is the least I could do for a good friend sir." he says. Mrs Fujiwara smirks mischievously. "Is that all she is to you Eren? Just a good friend?" Eren blushes bright red whilst the others laughed.

"M-Maybe I should go check on her." With that, he quickly ran up the stairs. "Ah she got him good." says Kaneki with a smirk.

Meanwhile Ahri heads up to her old room which was exactly the way she left it. On the walls were posters of various popstar and artistes that she looked up to. There were a lot of Eren and Aogiri posters everywhere as Eren was her biggest inspiration when she was much younger since he was the first major teen idol of their generation. 

She smiles at her CD collection. As expected, there were Aogiri and Eren albums in there plus the Aogiri lightstick was on the desk. She plops onto the bed and stares up at the ceiling. 

What exactly do I do with my life? Am I prepared to move on?

"Hope I am not interrupting anything?" She turns her head to see Eren by the doorway and almost jumps up. "W-What are you doing here?!"

"Relax Foxy I mean no harm." He notices the lightstick and posters. "Wow. You really liked us huh?" She looks away. "How embarassing." Eren sits beside her and takes her hand. "Do not ever be ashamed of ever being our friend. In case you haven't realized, you are actually our greatest fan."

Ahri smiles. "Thanks Eren."

The boy grins. "Do not mention it." The two continued to sit in silence. "Although the boys and I are on vacation, we still want to mess around in the studio and record stuff. Maybe you can come along. Oh and you can share your childhood memories with me as well."

Ahri raises an eyebrow. "Is that your sneaky way of asking me out because if it is then that is cute." Eren blushes bright red. "M-Maybe it is." Ahri giggles and leans closer to him and kisses his cheek. "Oh but let us take it a step at a time so that we do not lose momentum." 

Eren chuckles and wraps his arms around her and cuddles the fox who nuzzles him affectionately. Moments later the two fall asleep in each other's arms. The others walk up to call them and grin when they see the beautiful sight. "How romantic." says Seraphine.

Izuku quickly whips out his phone and takes a photo. "Man we gotta save this moment."

The two soon wake up and notice everyone staring at them. "Oh shit." says Ahri as she blushes and covers her face with her tails. "Alright!! Out you get you nosy kids!!" says Eren as he chases the rest of the gang downstairs.

Moments later he returns and pokes his head through the door. "Dinner is ready." he says. Ahri nods and walks out of the room. 

Everyone exchange knowing looks as the duo walk to the dining table holding hands. "Now aren't you two cute?" says Mr Fujiwara in a teasing tone. The other kids snicker. 

"Guys you are embarassing us." says Ahri. "Oh our apologies." says Mrs Fujiwara who winks at Seraphine. Seraphine simply giggles. Dinner continues with the gang exchanging jokes and stories about their lives.

"You know, Eren and I went to the same school and he lived a couple blocks away from me in Shingashina but I did not know that until one day I overheard Eren telling Rukia about it." says Kaneki.

"Wow small world." says Seraphine. "The rest of us were also at the same school but we all graduated at different times. Lelouch, Kaneki and I graduated first." says Eren.

"That often caused scheduling conflicts because we all had different classes." said Light. "Do you guys fight?" 

The boys all stared at each other and grinned. "When we were much younger yes and usually over stupid stuff like whose turn was it to play a certain game." Everyone laughed. "Oh I remember that!! Eren often hogged the damn joystick and we all had to find ways to pull it off him." 

Eren just shrugs. "Hey! I am the leader so automatically I call first dibs!!" The girls laughed at this. 

"You know when I first met Ahri, we were both so shy because I saw her music video like the day before her debut performance. Although I was not a fan of the song they gave to her, her marine girl outfit caught my attention." Eren blushes at this.

"I doubt that outfit would still fit." says Ahri. "We will have to test that out." says Mrs Fujiwara. "MUM?!!" Everyone laughed.

Once dinner was over, it was time for the boys to go. "Sera is taking the guest room." says Mrs Fujiwara who leads the girl to her room. That left Eren and Ahri alone as the other boys had gone off to their van. 

"So see you tomorrow Ahri." he says. She smiles. "See you tomorrow Eren." This time around. Eren kisses her on the cheek and walks off whilst Ahri smiles dreamily after me.

Maybe life is not so bad afterall.

Meanwhile Aogiri arrive a couple minutes later at their dorm. The boys immediately head up to their rooms to sleep.

Eren however is unable to sleep as he lays down on his bed in his black silk pajamas. Most people do not know but he and Ahri had a one night stand years ago and as a result, he often spends sleepless nights fantasizing about her.

It was at that moment that he senses a powerful presence and just smirks. "Been spying on me now have we?"It was at that moment that both Zeus and Hades make their presence known to the boy.

"Told you he would figure things out." says Hades. "No surprise there."Eren then gets up and sits up. "I hope you are not here to give me that talk." He says.

Zeus chuckles at the child's sarcasm. "And if we are?"

"That's rich coming from a King that cannot control his pants. At least I know how to control myself around her even though I get dirty thoughts about her."

Hades snickers whilst Zeus raises an eyebrow. "He is one of us alright. Anyways Eren, protect that girl well. I fear that her life would soon be threatened."Now the boy was paying attention. "Who intends to harm her?"

"Someone you might know all too well."
