            Every Saturday, the bassist of Alice Nine and his favorite little actress went shopping.

            When those two mischievous critters went ‘shopping’ they technically did end up going to the mall, but they were never there to buy anything. If they did end up coming home with something, it was something nabbed at the end of the trip, a second thought or something sparkly bought at random. It could only be called ‘shopping’ by the two taking part in the clandestine adventure. To everyone else involved with Alice Nine, it was just their usual capering.

            To the fans, Saga seemed to be a personality split evenly between the sex god bassist they saw on stage and the shy, slightly perverted, sweetheart they saw on BTS footage. The reality was a much more complicated blend of personalities, one that had a mischievous streak running strongly through it.

            Since he’d met Yuuki, he’d only gotten more ridiculous, better and bolder, in his antics.

            Yuuki was similar to him in her mischievous side, but she was brighter and unabashed about it. Her boldness dared Saga to keep up, and as a trained actress with extraordinary good looks, she was able to talk her way out of even the worst situations they got themselves into. Half of what they did together were things that Saga would never have dreamed of attempting on his own.

            One of their favorite ‘shopping day’ deeds was to wander about massive department stores, rearranging the signs meant to direct customers through the store’s endless maze of goods. Since the only thing holding most of the signs in place was the fact that no one could reach them without a ladder or a set of shoulders to sit on, it was a very simple feat for them to quickly tag-team an attack. It wasn’t discreet by any means, but they’d gotten the procedure down to an art form and now it was quick and quiet and far more often than not, they got away with it.

            The thrill of thinking that this might be the time they didn’t was what kept them going at it.

            While they were out ‘shopping’, Yuuki and Saga always had their phones turned off, if they even bothered to bring them at all. It simply wouldn’t do to have their fun ruined by their busy body friends trying to talk them out of their little adventures. Besides, if anyone happened to call them at an inopportune moment such as while they were trying to sneak passed mall security and into the intriguing underground passages of the shopping supercenter, it would ruin the day entirely.

            More than that though, more than just ensuring that their stealth mode was secure, Yuuki and Saga enjoyed the sense of isolation it gave them to be entirely unreachable by the outside world. When they were out ‘shopping’ they were flooded through with the sense of conspiracy and adventure as they dropped away from the world and its overbearing worries.

            There was little that they enjoyed more than capering around town together like nothing in the world existed. They were in the thick of things and yet so far away from everything. It was a unique thrill, it made them feel connected and alive and dramatic on the smallest scale. It made them each feel strong and independent in a way that was entirely different than the way they felt standing on stage under the lights before an endless sea of fans.

            Together, capering around like this as they ran from the crime scenes of their latest little endeavors, they were downright unstoppable.
