, and I (we) thought it'd be interesting to do one on each member. I'm taking the liberty to start with our dearest Oh-chan.

How it works:

The whole point of this is to create a story about Ohno, USING PICTURES. One person will start the story with a few lines, a paragraph, perhaps, then post a pic that would 'fit' with what was written. The next person then posts another pic and add more to the story until we have woven....a story.

An important point: Continuity. Let us try to make sure that the story is actually going somewhere. (I was also about to ask to avoid going all Mary Sue but...I guess that would be quite hard to avoid, fangirls that most of us are. XDD)

********************************************************
EDIT: (Thanks DaisyX!) So things don't get confusing or out of hand, there are some rules. I'm not trying to be mean, just trying to keep things running smoothly.

1. Please post only one picture per post

2. If it is a large image please use thumbnails

3. This is supposed to be a few lines per post. It is not restricted to a certain amount of lines, but it should not be multiple long paragraphs, spanning multiple periods of time and events. The whole point is to have all of us writing a short story. So please watch how much you are writing.

4. Please read all parts of the current story before adding your part. The story should flow and make some sort of sense. We want this to be a cohesive story we are making together, not a bunch of individual little stories we are trying to stick together. So make sure you check where they characters have been, how well they know each other, who they have already met, etc.

5. Remember this is an Ohno thread, in the Ohno section. I know Arashi is part of who he is, and his life. But I worry if the stories start centering around doing things with the band all the time, it will cause problems. Just keep in mind it is an Ohno thread, not an arashi one. The other boys can be part of the story, but try not to center it on them, or make them the focus. Ohno is the main focus.

6. Finish the story. Ok, this came about when the first story has not yet ended and came a new thread for a second story. We do not want to overcrowd the whole section with unfinished stories so please try to end up the unfinished one first. Feel free to make a new thread for the new story and label it accordingly.

7. The main girl character's name will just be ______, not a specific name. This way everyone can read it with whatever name they choose. A lot of people like to read the thread using their own name so they can pretend it is about them. For the others that want to pick some random name, they can read the story with whatever name they choose to use. This way everyone gets to use they name they want. *In the beginning this was agreed upon by everybody so we expect you guys to follow.

Come on, Oh-chan peepz! Let's let our creative juices flow!!!! Let's be funny, crazy, and creative all at the same time!

Awrightee, I'll start. And since I am starting, I'm taking the liberty (yet again!) to choose a title for this. *evil laughter* Set the tone for the story after I start it off.

===============================================

IN DREAMS
The darkness seemed to creep all around her, over her. It was already a little past midnight, she was sure, and everyone's already asleep. Yet here she was, sitting in the dark, arms around her knees on the living room couch.

What is she doing here? More importantly, how on earth did she get here?

A movement to her right made her turn sharply. But there was no one there, just the curtain being whipped by the breeze blowing through the window. With an impatient sigh, she got to her feet and moved to window to close it.

Her hand froze in midair. There's someone outside, but it was too dark to see. Taking a tentative step closer, she peered out.

Then she saw him.



A gasp escaped her lips.

She blinked once, twice. Wait a minute. She's not in the living room! She's sitting up in her bed, a muffled cry dying on her lips...

A dream?

MJ, her roommate, stirred on the next bed. "What's wrong? Bad dream?"

She nodded, and quickly gave her friend a condensed version of her dream. MJ rolled her eyes when she was done.

"You've been watching way too many vampire movies. Go back to sleep, maybe this time you'll dream of an angel." MJ burrowed back in her bed and, within seconds, was snoring.

Slowly, she lay back down, staring up at the ceiling. Sleep won't come back easily.

But...but he was no vampire, her mind screamed out. Somehow she knew he was not merely a dream.

She's seen him somewhere before......

I just wanted to jump in and say I'm so happy you started this. And wow, you story is blowing my ideas out of the water. You are a really good writer. I'm very impressed. Ok, sorry, continue everyone, and have fun!!!

I'd just like to say to jeffer that your post was just *sublime*. It's beautifully written and I hope my post won't ruin yours T__T...

After a dreadfully short night of sleep, you still wake up in the early hours - just in time to see the sun shine through the thin curtains - which, by the way, remind you that you probably will have to wash them one day since wine was spilled on the bottom...That party MJ threw a month ago got *so* out of hand...tsk tsk...

Typical morning jog. The air was still cold, so you hung on tight to your jacket while running. You had music playing on your mp3 and everything went past you rapidly. When you reached the end of the street, carefully looking behind you on your left, still jogging, to see if there was any car coming, you abruptly were asked to stop.

Because *someone* ran into you. Hmm, no. That's not quite what it was... "ran" wasn't enough to describe that sudden event. Let's say it in a better way: someone totally CRASHED into you. But not hard enough to make you collapse on the ground, fortunately. Yeah.

"Itai...." you hear coming from the source of your unexpected stop.

You look right at that culprit's face and instead of reprimanding him instantly, you see yourself out of words.



While he was catching up his breath, grimacing slightly (and smiling too, strangely), he automatically put a hand on your waist and said: "Are you all right? I'm so sorry for bumping into you!"

That face...was...kind of...familiar.

I hope this is up to par!! I hope I didn't ruin it XD What do you think of it??

Lolz. Where's the uncertainty coming from, Lulish? This isn't a 'writing' gig, more like a 'storytelling' thing. And I liked the encounter you put in there. XDD

Edited the first post, DaisyX, thanks for the heads-up!

I hope more would join, see what more we could come up with.

Ok...let me see....I guess I ought to change the point of view from HER to YOU....

=============================================

Your earphones came loose, draping down your shoulders. But you did not notice. Flashes of last night's dream came back to you in a rush, causing you to stumble even as he was trying to hold you steady.

"Whoa there," he breathed, his hold around you tightening. His smile was now replaced with a frown. "Are you dizzy?"

His voice seemed to break the haze hanging around you and, snapping back to the moment, you straighten and skip away from him and his grasp.

You gulp. He was frowning, noting you pale face. "You don't look too good. Maybe you should see a doctor."

"Y-you...You're...What..." You could not form a coherent word; you just keep staring at him in a mix of awe and disbelief. He is real!! This is no dream; the throbbing on your arm, where he crashed earlier, was tangible proof of that.

He frowned even more. "You might have a concussion."

I did not hit my head. Instead of those words, you heard yourself say, "I'm OK." You could not keep your eyes off him, and damn if he did not notice it.

"Then what's wrong?" he asks, that smile slowly returning. "You look like you've seen a ghost or something."

Or something, you thought.

"I think you need to sit down for a while," he suggested. "Listen, I am new around here, and I don't know much about this town. Care to join me over there at that bench?"

You looked around and realized that you were still standing in the middle of the road. Miraculously no vehicles seemed to pass for the past couple of minutes (which seemed like an eternity) to run you both down.

You hesitated. "I...don't know..."

Wordlessly he walked past you to the other side of the road. You follow him with your gaze, finally noting the paper bag he was clutching in his right hand. Realizing you were still standing in the middle of the road, you walk after him.

He easily cleared the fence with one jump then turned back to her, his devil-may-care smile making her blink.

"Come on," he called out to you.

"You just...trespassed," you said pointedly.

He shrugged. "I didn't see any sign. Come, I have two burgers with me here."

"You're a stranger," you pointed out again, turning to walk away.

His voice stopped you in your tracks. "We won't be any longer, IF you jump over the fence."

Reckless, your mind said. Common sense taunted, 'What, you still hold on to your mom saying you shouldn't talk to strangers?'

But you heard another voice, a curious voice. 'He has already been in your dreams. Does that make him a stranger still?'

Damn. You looked back over the fence.



Ah hell, you thought. He's already invaded my dreams, anyway.

You looked at him again, and he grinned goofily above the burger. Your stomach growled.

"This'll be interesting," you murmured to yourself and climbed over the fence.

=============================================

OMG. Sorry this was long. XDDD Be crazy people......be absolutely nuts.

Haha I'm sorry! I think I've been too used to put the story in "you" than in 3rd person at Nino's thread lool Humm there's not many ppl here eh...lol

You hear a couple of laughs escape that young man's lips. Was it because you climbed over that fence and got the bottom of your left leg's pants stuck in a torn metal thingy? Very much likely.

You grunt out in desperation and look for the little new hole in your pants. How pretty.

"That was an extraordinary well-executed jump" said the man from the bench, looking at you with all smiles. Boy, it was as if you could barely see his face because the only thing you could see was a splash of light coming from his pearly whites.

Or was it just the sun? .... Meh...let's not get picky.

You have no choice now but to get to know him. Even though it may have been a very "friendly" encounter, it was still the person that you dreamt about. You didn't believe much in coincidences...but this was definitely freaky and weird. Because he was the exact replica of your "mysterious guy".

"So, " you begin to say as if nothing happened and as if that funny little comment he made about your talentless spectacle was never heard, "didn't you invite me for a very fine cuisine gourmet experience?"

"I don't know about that stuff, but I have a big juicy burger left. Tempted?" he said in a childish voice while waving the piece of conviction in front of your eyes.

You probably would've put him in his place, but your stomach encouraged you to IGNORE that little play and just grab the damn thing (a/n: sorry about the swearing XD, it's only for effect!).

"Well, " you sigh, "it would be a waste to not eat what an employer made with his special skills of putting together premade ingredients and heat it."

You gently grabbed the meal this man was offering you and gave him a smile.



"Yeaaah...That's what I'm talking about!" he commented one last time before you munched your first bite.

I hope I'm not making this too "comicky" XD But he's such an adorable guy, I just don't see him too serious!! lool

you guys are really good writers I've never written before so sorry if I completely ruin the flow of this but here goes

Just when you are taking the last bite of you burger he exclaims he is going to be late and mumbles something about loosing good fishing spots.

He grabs your hand without looking back at you and starts running. You finally stop when you reach the station. At which point he looks at you and asks "what are you doing here."

"you dragged me here you exclaim"

"oh right," he mumbles. You think this guy must really like fishing to just grab your hand without noticing it. Come to think of it he's still holding onto your hand. You look down at your hands laced in his slender fingers, a blush creeps onto your face.

"sorry for dragging you all the way here" he says with a sweet smile "I know I'll make it up to you can come with me".

You are about to make an excuse about havinb to finish some homework or catch a show on tv but then he grabs your hand and somehow all coherent thoughts escape you.

You board the train it is full so you both have to stand but you can't help but sneak a glimpse at the guy who dragged you half way across the city

The blush returns to your face and you quickly look outside the window.
Your not exactly sure where you are going but you automatically trust the him, after all you did dream about him. But come to think of it you don't even know this mystery guys name.

wah~....

that so great......

thank you .... ....

so great!! and the story is such a literary nosebleed...

i'll try to contribute if i have time...

I really like this kind of thing! Keep up the good work minna!
I must say that I can't help you since my english isn't that good

When the two of you arrived at his destination. He says, 'Yoshi! This looks like a good fishing spot. I'm gonna catch us a good one to & I'll even grill it.'

While sitting there waiting for a catch he suddenly says, 'Aargh!' You got startled & was like,'What is it!? What's wrong!?' Then he says, 'I forgot to tell you my name, it's Ohno.' 'Well Ohno I'm (name).'

After the introductions Ohno gets all excited because he caught something. When he finally reeled it in he was as happy as a little boy.

'That's it?' you asked with a kinda dissappointed look on your face.

Ohno: 'What are you talking about? This is my best catch ever.'

You give a little giggle because he was just too cute holding that tiny fish.
'Give me that fishing pole & I'll show you how it's really done.' You say with a sure smile on your face.

Sunako, I have to tell you that I loved the part where you wrote "That's it?" "What are you talking about? This is my best catch ever" lol. Very cute.

He hands you the fishing rod with a "let's see you do better" expression that made you chuckle.

"Are you looking down on me? For your information, you have beside you a winner of two national fishing competitions" you tell him proudly.

"It doesn't look like it" he comments with a smirk.

You stare intently at him and before throwing the line, you mouth: "Watch me." And winked.

You both waited patiently and none of you ushered a word. You were concentrated and never looked elsewhere other than the fishing line. When Ohno sighed in boredom after 5 minutes, you suddenly tensed up. The line was being pulled.

"Oh! You caught something!" exclaimed Ohno with his eyes wide open.

You reeled in the line and with a glorious smile, let the considerably bigger fish hang in front of Ohno's face.

"A little bit better than your catch, don't you think?" you say, laughing wholeheartedly.



You were congratulated by a very odd facial expression.

"Just don't mention it again...." he whispered gently, having to let you win with this catch.

"Thank you, thank you..." you say taking a bow both times, "you know, it isn't very practical to stroll about with live fishes around...we should do something with them."

"Why not grill them? I know it's still a bit morning-y but lunch is coming too" Ohno tells you while looking at his watch.

"You won't eat everything and take off with my purse, will you?" you ask him semi-jokingly. What? He was still a stranger after all...There's no such thing as being too careful. "This guy is very different than the image I had of him in my dreams though..." you think to yourself.

"Do you really think I would take off with your purse?" he replied, chuckling. "You don't even have one. Although, I could easily steal that mp3 player and earphones of yours. But if I had the intention of robbing you from anything, I would've done it already and wouldn't have shared a burger with you. So. Reassured?"

You smack the fish you caught just now lightly across his arm. "Let's grill these bad boys, then."

"Yeaaaahhh, that's what I'm talking about!" he shouts in joy.

"Oh, stop with that already" you shout back playfully, "or I'll smack that fish on you for real!"

great going, ladiez.....!

and do not worry about not good English. It's the ideas that count, and as long as we all understand what you're writing, then all's good. XDD

* * * * *

Already you questioned the wisdom of taking him, a virtual stranger -- after all, all you know about him are three things: his name's Ohno, he's pretty eccentric in his spontaneity, and he's quite cute, especially when he smiles -- to your track team's hang-out.

But one glance at the appreciative look on his face as he looked around erased whatever doubts lurked within you.

"Wow," he breathed, slowly pacing around the outer shed of the lakeside cottage. "This belongs to your track team?"

You moved to the corner of the shed and started fixing the grill equipment. "Our former coach's, but he has gladly left the place at our disposal since he left last year. Hand those fishes over."

He came over and gave you the day's catch. For a moment you contemplated the two fishes...and their screaming disparity.

"Fair's fair, right?" you asked in amusement, meaning to tease him. When he did not immediately respond, you peeked at him.

He was stumped, staring at him with something akin to pained confusion. "Eh?" he began. "You mean...eat your own catch?"

You caught him eyeing the bigger fish -- your fish -- with dismay, and you burst out laughing. "I was kidding!" Suddenly you remembered the way he attacked the burger early this morning, and you shook your head. "You take your food seriously, don't you?"

Obviously relieved, he grinned. "Obvious, huh." He looked around. "What can I do to help?"

You eyed him and made a sound of disbelief. "Can you grill?"

He shrugged helplessly. "I can clean the fish, hand you the rags, hand the tools...when it comes to grilling, I'm hopeless. I can help you do a taste-test, too."

Inwardly you sighed. For someone who loves to fish, he still has a lot to learn. "Then don't get in my way or I'll grill you myself. Move."

Obediently, he stepped to the side and stayed quiet as you bustled about. You've done this many times before, with your family, with the guys in the track team, with some other guys in your class, but somehow it felt different.

With him.

He is a total distraction.

And who is he, anyway? You have seen him last night in your dream, but there's also this nagging feeling that you've seen him somewhere before. You shook this thought from your head and tried to return your attention to the sizzling fishes.

"Aaah, this is soooo calming....!"

You turned at the sound of his voice. Sure enough, he's made himself comfortable.



Again, last night's dream returned. Is this the same guy? They sure look the same. Exactly the same. But the aura....

"What?" he asked, noting your frown as you stared at him.

Before you could check yourself, the words tumbled out of your lips.

"I dreamed of you last night."

I love that girl's sense of humor lol.

You tensed up immediately. You felt that electricity fizz through you, then paralyze your whole body. Even the fishes looked more alive than you. What did you just admit here? Now you probably looked like a crazy fool - standing there, sizzling fishes. Marvellous...

Ohno - or rather, that perfect physical but differently natured replica of this guy you once met in your dreams, slowly leaned forward.

"...What?" he said with a chuckle. "Really?"



He looked sideways and seemed to be pondering on this new yet weird confession about yourself. Well, it concerned him more than it concerned you...

Meanwhile, you turned back to your fishes and shut your eyes sheepishly. "I'm sorry, this was really inappropriate."

"No no, don't say that, " he replied, giving you a reassuring smile, "it's not inappropriate. But I surely won't say it's not weird, though."

He left his comfortable seat and got closer to you and your fishes. By then, you kept shifting your gaze from that grill to that exceedingly grinning face of his. You wish he could stop grinning like that; it made you so uncomfortable - and it wasn't your style to mortify that easily.

"So... since it looks like you're not kidding, care to tell me about that dream of yours? I'd like to hear it" he casually says after watching your reaction to all of this.

"I don't want to" you say, turning a shade redder of embarrassment. "I don't want to?" Geez, what was that guy doing to you? You just replied like a 6 years old kid.

"What? Don't tell me you had that sort of dream" he exclaimed with an awfully cheeky smile.

"GOD NO!" you cry out at once, scoffing at the same time. "Don't get your hopes too high, there."

You then decide to tell him what happened. The dark atmosphere, the eerie silence and his unearthly appearance. Might as well tell him everything since you spilled the beans, thanks to your malfunctioning brain.

"Wow..." he finally whispered after you were finished with your story (and grilling the fishes). "I was being even weirder than you."

He was still wearing that grin of his. Man...if he wasn't as cute, you would've slapped it right off his face gladly.
