Long Overdue Meeting [Natsumi]

[Kiriha Kyuuseishu]

"Beautiful," Kiriha whispered, fully entranced by both the beauty of the song and her singing, and of Natsumi in general.

Was he falling for her...? But the next question he had was, would he mind falling for her?

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

After her planned songs, which were all very good, Natsumi decided to deviate from the script a little, and her producers allowed it this time. "I'm addressing this song." she stated in French, "To those mysterious masked men that may be doing more for us than we may ever know."

Then, the music sync'd up in a slow but rolling beat, and she delved into it. This was something she was famous for after all, after completing the script, she'd put on a show for the fans, sometimes with music, sometimes with modeling a bit. This time however, she was serious, and had a few helpers.

"Here they come: Shocker! Evil like we’ve never seen
Marching from the shadows, out to get us all
To oppose them One Man shall answer Peace’s call
Go!
Go!
Let’s Go! Mount up on your shining machine
Rider (Jump!) Rider (Kick!)
Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider.
Riderrrrr, Rider.

Here they are: Shocker! Demon troops are drawing nigh
Danger for our loved ones, deadly plans unfurled
From the darkness One Man shall come to save the world
Go!
Go!
Let's Go! Let your crimson scarf fly
Rider (Jump!) Rider (Kick!)
Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider,
Riderrrrr, Rider.

There they go: Shocker! Terror like there’s never been
Falling on our city in eternal night.
But there’s One Man who’ll always bring the fight!
Go!
Go!
Let's Go! Don your mask of silver green.
Rider (Jump!) Rider (Kick!)
Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider.
Riderrrrr, Rider.

The crowd wasn't too sure about the Riders...but they still applauded her as she had still done one stand-up job...

And Kiba looks at Kiriha, "I wonder if that means what I think it means?"

[Kiriha Kyuuseishu]

"What do you think it means?" Kiriha questioned, knowing that Kiba could be insinuating at least two things. Partnership, or feelings.

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

Kiba shook his head, "You know, for someone who just got a song about them sung, you're pretty uncool in considering what she might have been saying. What if she's made the decision to join us?" Of course the part he left out was that this could also be something about her feelings.

[[Kaisu] Elizabeth Clarke]

[I'd just say, I'd prefer if you used the correct accounts. If you're posting as Kiba, use your Kiba account.]

[Kiriha Kyuuseishu]

"It's not that I'm not appreciative, but if she's made a choice...can I actually allow her to join us? To leave this behind?" he questioned Kiba.

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

(Kaisu...two characters in the same general area, same general thread. Your preference is noted, but I did mention this before I started posting. Besides, it won't be too much longer before Kiba exits stage right to find them proper lodging in that hotel so they won't impose.)

Natsumi continued a bit further before the show was finally done, and the producers congratulated her behind the scenes, even on the Rider song, since they knew nothing of Shocker or very few of the Riders. For Natsumi however, she had been doing this constantly for about 3 years or so, and it was time for her to take a long vacation.

Kiba looked at him, shaking his head slightly, "You're not only saving the humans," he said in a low tone, "You're saving their freewill. That's what they all get at birth right? the freedom to choose how they will live their life, and who they will be or what they will become. Would you deprive her of her freewill?"

[Kiriha Kyuuseishu]

"Of course not," he said, "Fine...I see the point you're raising," he muttered, "We'll ask her to join us, if she is willing."

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

"Very well." Kiba replied.

---

Natsumi attended an autograph session at the entrance of the building, and it was going well.

(when did you want the fight to come, before or after she's asked?)

[Kiriha Kyuuseishu]

Before, forcing her to join in, or something.

"Let's go," Kiriha said, "If we go to her room as planned, we'll see her after she's done here."

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

Kiba nods and heads towards the entrance with him

Natsumi is signing autographs when something catches her eye...and its a strange looking man that's staring at her.

[Kiriha Kyuuseishu]

Jerome walked over, pulling up his shirt to reveal his belt, but saying nothing, leaving a silent threat as he approached.

As Kiriha and Kiba left, Dragon watched nearby, following behind them, pulling his helmet on over the top of his head, and then over his mouth, fully armoring himself.

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

"Can I...help you?" She asked, seeing the belt but trying to maintain her composure

Kiba claps his hand on Kiriha's shoulder, "Wait..the two from before...they're back...I don't know where exactly but they are here."

[Kiriha Kyuuseishu]

"Let's split up," Kiriha said to Kiba.

Jerome smiled, "I have a problem. A man called "Hopper"," Jerome stated simply, "I need a hostage. You'll do fine."

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

Kiba nods, "Which way." he said in a low tone

"Hopper?" Natsumi asked, "I don't know a hopper." she said but before she could protest anymore she was taken hostage.
