My update! (sorry for being a DoS and holding off the next chapter for two days... it's not that torturous since i've seen fanfics authors who update ONCE A YEAR *ahemthatincludesmesometimesahem*

CHAPTER 24:



“Okay, time to clean up,” Anna said as the boys scrambled out of their positions to clean up whatever they had to clean up. Some of them took quick showers.

Ann herself took a quick shower, and she placed a fake blood pack at her upper thigh before wearing a knee high skirt and sandals.

“Now, I just have to meet my mother,” she said to herself as she made sure that the pack was not obvious.

“So, is everyone ready to go?” she asked as she walked to the studio. The boys were sitting down, packing up their clothes. “I don’t want any candy wrappers, junk foods, or any other trash inside this studio, including those capsule toy containers. Keep all of them.”

“Chi, stop running!” Takaki scolded as he chased the naughty boy all over the studio. Anna was walking when he hit her.

“Itai!” she shouted as her foot stepped on a scattered toy capsule container, making her fall down on her behind, making the pack burst out.

“AHHH!!!!” Chinen shouted in his shrill voice.

The others ran towards Anna. “Nee-chan’s bleeding!” they said, pointing at the blood flowing down her legs.

“So it’s true!”

“It is true!”

“Uruseiyo! I need your help here, you know,” Anna said. “Yappari, I know this would fail. Damn you, Nino!” she thought angrily as she acted.

“I’ll call Ohno-kun,” Chinen said, taking his phone from his bag.

“Let’s carry her out of the studio and bring her to the hospital,” Yabu suggested. Inoo, Yaotome and him carried her.



“That Chinen brat surely did something to almost destroy our plan!” Nino said angrily. He tossed the dilapidated book to Ohno.

“It’s not his fault. I was just not that careful,” Anna said.

“Luckily, the boy called us or you’ve landed in a hospital without our supervision,” Nino said. “But I miscalculated…”

“Do you think I planned this? I feel sticky down here,” she said heatedly, pointing at the liquid flowing from the pack down her thigh.

“Riida, drive faster. Sho-kun’s catching up. We don’t look like we’re rushing to the hospital, ne?”

Ohno nervously stepped on the gas a little harder. They arrived in the hospital, which turned out to be owned by the Sonosa family.

“Here,” Sonosa said, asking Ohno to lay Anna on the bed in the room. After the nurse left, Sonosa sniggered. “Wakatta. I thought it’s supposed to be an hour later?” she asked.

The two shook their heads.

“Well then, call her mother,” she instructed Ohno. “Anna-san, go to the bathroom to wash yourself. There is a change of clothing there.”

“Hai,” Anna replied, getting up and going to the bathroom at the side.

Ohno hung up. “She’ll arrive in a few minutes,” he said.

Sonosa sat down in front of Ohno. “Ohno-kun, this is not what you want, ne?”

He looked at her, puzzled. “Wakarimasen deshita.”

“This whole set up thing. I knew it. You just have to put up with it because it’s the only way.”

“How did you know?”

“Well, my pre-med is Psychology,” she explained. “What do you really want?”

Ohno sighed as he looked at the floor. “I wanted everything to come true.”

“Eh?”

Ohno shook his head. “I don’t know. When Anna shouted those words in front of her mother, I was actually delighted. But then, I was being selfish.”

“Ah, wakatta,” she replied. They heard the door open and Anna emerged, wearing the hospital gown. “Anna-san, lie down the bed. I’ll call the nurse.”

Ohno watched as the nurse who arrived started to fit Anna some equipments. The nurse left and the two of them were silent.

“Satoshi, gomen ne,” Anna said, holding his hand.

“Nande?” he asked.

Anna turned to the other side so that her face could not be seen. “I dragged all of you because of my mistake. I only wanted to return here with you.”

“Daijoubu. Everything will be under control,” he said, kissing her forehead.

“Ne, Satoshi. Are you ever planning something like this in reality?” Anna asked, sitting up a little.

“Hn?”

“You know, the two of us together?” Anna said. “I know it’s wrong for me to think like this. You’re an idol. You cannot even marry someone.”

“Iie, Anna,” Ohno said, feeling guilty. “It never crossed my mind before but when you told your mother that you are pregnant, I felt a little happy.”

Anna’s eyes narrowed. “So you want me to be pregnant.”

“Well, maybe. But not now,” he said, smiling a little.

Anna smiled. “I’d love to have a talented boy like you,” she said, pulling up one of his spikes. “You know, a boy who can dance, sing and act well. And also make some sculptures and fish.”

“I’d like to have a beautiful girl that’s as strong and great as you, Anna,” he said. He leaned in for a kiss.

“Sumimasen,” a voice interrupted. It was Nino. “She’s here.”

Anna went back to the bed and acted weak. Ohno was beside her.

“Anna! What happened?” she asked, demanding an answer from Ohno.

Sonosa entered. “She was choreographing when she bled,” she explained. “We’re sorry to tell you…” her voice trailed off.

Ohno did not know whether he should show a disappointed, angry, or sad face. But Anna and Sonosa could seriously start acting. “Gomenasai, Okaa-san,” Anna said.

“Oh my god!” she screamed, crying. “My grandchild!” She sobbed on Anna’s lap.

Anna and Ohno momentarily looked at each other before they tried to comfort her.

“Oh no! this shouldn’t be happening!” she wailed further. “Anna!”

“Okaa-san, stop it!” she said, stroking her back.

“Mitsuhashi-san,” Ohno also said.

Sonosa just shrugged before she went away.

“Tell me this isn’t happening!” Anna’s mother gasped as she was given water by Ohno.

“Okaa-san, don’t make it harder for us,” Anna sighed. She was rubbing her back.

“This is all your fault! Why did not you make her stop dancing when you know she’s pregnant! Seriously, what kind of father are you?” she asked, trying to hit Ohno, who was defended by Sonosa.

“Mitsuhashi-san, please don’t do that. It’s all an accident,” she said. “Anna-san is not really at fault. The child lacked nutrients…”

“Because this guy here only feeds her noodles!”

“Okaa-san! He doesn’t feed me noodles! It’s ramen!” Anna answered.

“Gomenasai, we cannot do anything about it,” Sonosa said, hanging her head low.

***

“Sakurai-sempai, is it really true?” Nakajima asked as the ten of them were squished like sardines inside the car.

“What true?” Sho asked, still driving. They decided to take a detour.

“Well, we all thought Anna nee-chan’s acting a bit weird lately…”

“She grew bigger… err… fatter…”

“And she becomes mad all the time…”

“And just early this morning, she was bleeding!”

“Is she… pregnant?” Yamada finally asked.

Sho slammed the brakes, making everyone go forward. “Sakurai! I’ll kill you!” Jun yelled.

“Mendokusai deshou?” Aiba asked Sho.

“Hai,” he replied, thinking of what to say.

“Anou sa… Nee-chan’s really pregnant? By Ohno-kun?” Chinen asked.

“They did it?” Inoo chirped in.

“What the…? Don’t ask questions like that!” Sho said, getting red. “Kids nowadays…”They stopped at the side of the hospital. “Ah, Nino. You come right here. Hai. Daijoubu.”

A few minutes later, Nino arrived and went inside the Pajero, squishing everyone more. He struggled to close and lock the door beside him. “Ah, brats,” he sighed. “You almost destroyed my butai!”

“Butai? You have a butai?” Morimoto asked stupidly. “When? Where?”

“What happened to Nee-chan?” Okamoto asked.

“She’s carrying a baby…”

“Iie!” Nino shouted, annoyed with their shrill voices. “Now, listen to me before I blow your heads off!”

Everyone was silent, even Aiba, who was playing noisily with the plushie hanging on Sho’s car. Only the whine of the engine could be heard. “Good,” Nino said, smirking. “First of all, I would like to explain what’s happening.”

It took him ten minutes to tell the whole story and the plot he created to save everyone. “And now, since the ten of you are involved, you all have to keep quiet. Especially, you, you ever-annoying Ohno-worshipping brat!” he pointed at Chinen. He was still blaming him for everything. “You are at fault at this!” He smiled slyly. “What if I don’t let you see Oh-chan ever again?”

Chinen gasped, horrified, then buried his head on Arioka’s shoulder.

“Hai,” Jun said. “If you release a word, even the ‘ninshin’ word, you better say goodbye to Arashi-sempai.”

Everyone gasped along.

“Hai, and if that happens, you also better say goodbye to your lives,” Nino added with flourish.

The ten backed off from Nino, squeezing themselves together. “We won’t breathe a word!” they said.

“Well, I think that’s it,” Nino said, getting off the car.

“He’s scarier than I imagined,” Chinen told Arioka while hugging him tightly, who nodded.

i like this episode..
nino really scares those 10 kids ne.. *imagines nino does it*
wahhh!!
luv this chapter..

i love the "Ohno-worshipping-brat'' part XD

this was a great chappie!

I SWEAR THIS SHOULD BE A DRAMA

you're awesome! my guess was way off..
poor little babies got scared by Nino.. haha!
can't wait for the next chapter!

I like the fact that Ohno really does want a kid though.

Those poor kids. Nino can be a little much sometimes.

Great chapter, kawaii Chinen and funny yet scary Nino. And the hero is so sweet.

kawaii, ne!! oh-chan wants a baby



aah, well thee story is turning out GREATLY. please, keep up the good work!

arashikim: i could also imagine DoS nino doing that to the poor kids (which i call bullying)

kashiii: you do? can this be a drama? i don't think so...

k_j: you guess is way off? what was your guess? i also did not expect everyone to think that anna is seriously pregnant (because "anna" will kill me...)

stream84: what if i make a sequel? hahaha...

phw: i also liked the hey!say!jump part

haihaikimmiechan: arigatou ne!

please don't get it wrong. i don't despise chinen. in fact i love him sooo much! i don't hate hsj, they're my second favorite JE group... it's just that, it's fun imagining nino being a bully to his kohai (and i know you enjoyed it too). i wouldn't mention HSJ in the first place if i didn't like them...

CHAPTER 25:

“Oh, Anna-chan, Satoshi, what happened?” Ohno’s mother gasped as she almost knocked the hospital room door down.

“It was a miscarriage,” Anna’s mother said between sobs.

“Nande? Nande?” she wailed, shaking Ohno. It horrified him, his mother crying. He looked at Anna, who carried the same guilt.

Anna felt she could not take this anymore. “Gomenasai,” she said, closing her eyes and bowing down.

“Why are you saying sorry, Anna? It’s not your fault,” Ohno-san said.

The door opened quietly and the four members of Arashi stood there. “It’s my fault… I… I lied…”

“Lied about what?” her mother asked, standing up.

Anna closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “I’m not really pregnant.”

Aiba covered his eyes, not prepared for the drama scene that would happen.

“Eh?” the two mothers uttered in surprise.

Anna just nodded. “I just wanted to return here in Japan so that I’ll be with Satoshi,” she said. She was already crying. “I just said that so that Okaa-san will allow me. But I didn’t know it will go this far.”

“Anna-chan…”

“I just want to be here with him. Is it that bad?” Anna asked.

Ohno-san moved to Anna. She thought she’ll earn a slap or some rude words but she embraced her. “Anna-chan, you really love my son that much,” she said.

Then suddenly, her mother started laughing maniacally, making the hairs at the back of their next stand up.

“Okaa-san…”

“Hikaru-chan,” she called out. Sonosa went inside the room and bowed in front of everyone. “You thought I would not know?”

“Eh? What’s the meaning of this?” Ohno asked, wide-eyed.

“I knew it all along,” she said, folding her arms.

“She really has a lot of connections,” Anna sighed. She looked at the hospital band on her wrist. “Iatta! Maji de?”

“Nande, Anna? I co-owned this hospital with Hikaru-chan’s father,” Anna’s mother said, smiling devilishly. “I just let you move on with your drama,” she said in her hard voice. “But it looks like you’ve made it this far, until guilt finally found you, Anna.” She shook her head. “You’re really not that tough, you know.”

“How did you know?”

“Hikaru-chan contacted me when that idol boy and his companion went to her clinic to ask for her help,” she explained. “I guess you really went that far just to go back here, my dear.”

“So, what will happen now, Okaa-san?” she asked, frightened.

“Well, if it is really my plan to part you from him, I should have done so upon discovering the truth,” she sighed, patting Ohno, who looked quite scared at the sudden contact. “I’ll return to the Philippines,” she said, smiling. “And I’ll let you stay here but…”

“But what?”

She turned to Ohno. “If he does not take care of you, I’ll make you return here and then I’ll kill him.”

“Okaa-san!”

“Daijoubu. I was just joking,” she said with a grin.

Ohno smiled. “I’ll take good care of her. Arigatou gozaimasu,” he said as he bowed in front of her.

“Douitashimashite,” she replied. “You are a wonderful boy. I decided to do a background check on you and I was pleased with everything I’ve found out.” She turned her heel and left the room, followed by Sonosa.

“It’s all good?” Aiba asked, removing his cover and staring at the door.

“It is, baka!” Nino said, hitting his head. “Oh-chan, we did it!”

“Oh, I even thought that I’ll really have a grandchild. Perhaps next time, ne, Anna-chan?” she winked at Anna, who just smiled at her a little, anxious at her. She also left.

“Does that mean Anna-chan’s staying here?” Aiba asked again. “Hurray! Anna-san! Riida! You’re safe!”

“Your ‘butai’ was useless, Nino,” Jun sneered. Nino just raised an eyebrow at him.

“But at least we all learned a lesson,” Sho said in a motherly way, breaking Nino’s and Jun’s heated eye contact.

“Let’s celebrate!” Aiba said happily, bouncing up and down.

“Baka, we have to leave the room,” Nino said, dragging Aiba’s scarf. “Ja ne,” he told the couple.

When they left, Ohno sat beside Anna. “So… it’s all good, ne?”

“Hai,” Anna replied. “At least we’re still together.”

“I told you. We will always be together,” Ohno said with a pout. “Can you pack up now?” he asked.

“Nande?”

“We’re going somewhere. It’s been a long time since I wanted to you to come with me there,” he said.

“Where?”

“To my escape…”

***

The stars never lost their luster. Anna and Ohno were on a boat, lying on a mat, looking at the star-filled sky. The waves of the sea added to the silence, like music.

“Satoshi…” Anna called, slightly sitting up to see Ohno with his eyes closed. She thought he was asleep but she realized otherwise as he tightened his grip on her hand.

“Umm?” he asked. He opened his eyes.

Anna lied back down. “Betsuni… you are just so quiet.”

“People say I’m always quiet,” he replied.

Anna chuckled. “I know,” she replied. “But that’s unusual for me tonight.”

“What’s unusual?” he asked her, turning on his side to face Anna.

“That you are here with me, watching the stars,” she said, also turning to her side to face her.

“It’s not unusual. If you want, we could stare forever at the stars,” Ohno said. “Or I could buy my own boat so that we’ll watch the stars here by the sea while I fish. That way, we don’t have to rent one.”

“I don’t know how to swim,” she admitted, blushing. “You don’t know how scared I am when you told me we’ll go fishing tonight.”

“Daijoubu,” Ohno replied. “If you fall down the sea, I’ll follow you. I’ll rescue you.” He removed the stray hairs that blocked her beautiful face from view then held her hand, making her feel secure. He started babbling. “You know, if we would have a girl, I want her name to be Hoshizora,” he said, pointing to the sky.

Anna laughed. “Satoshi, you’re thinking too randomly.” She looked at the sky. “But Hoshizora is a good name, ne?”

“Hai,” he replied, opening his hand as though he was grabbing the stars. “Kireii na…”

“Satoshi…” Anna started again.

“Umm?”

“Do you love me?” she asked, her face serious.

Ohno just lied on his back and stared at the sky. He seemed to be thinking of an answer, though he knew that she knew it. He just wanted to say something impressive. Then thinking of the best answer, he wrapped his arms around her, pulled her closer, and placed her head on his chest. “Anna, I could not say anything good but my heart could,” he said.

Anna’s distress was slowly replaced by a smile as she listened to his heartbeat. “Your heartbeat is like a song,” she said, closing her eyes, savoring the feeling. “Satoshi…”

“Hm?” he reacted again. He was absentmindedly stroking her hair while looking at the stars.

“I’ll only dance with you… forever…”

“I’ll only dance with you too…” Ohno replied, kissing her hair. “What if we have Hoshizora now?” he asked mischievously

“Satoshi!” Anna cried out. However, Ohno kissed her. He held her tight as the two of them fought the waves driving their anchored boat in the middle of the sea, under the stars, loving each other.
