Chapter 7 - According To Plan

???????? POV
Aside from this slight delay...things should work out fine. I thought to myself as I signalled the DJ and he stopped the music abruptly. There were murmers of confusion and possibly irritation from the guests on the dance floor as the lights went up and the DJ spoke into the microphone.

"Sorry for putting the dancing on hold, but I've just been informed that we're to have some special live performance." That got a positive reaction from the crowd and they waited for him to tell them who it would be. He cleared his throat and signaled for the spotlight which flashed, stunning a few of the people in it's path. "Is there a Ninomiya Kazunari in the building?" The minute he said Nino's name, a bunch of squealing errupted from a small group of girls, obviously Nino fans. I saw the look their dates (possibly Johnny's Boys) gave as they watched the girls squealing and clapping. "Ninomiya-san? where are you?" The DJ called and from the corner of my eye, I saw Ohno emerge from the bar room, tugging Nino along with him.

I pointed in Nino's direction and the DJ nodded, signalling whoever was controlling the spotlight to shine it on Nino. "Ah, Ninomiya-san, please come onto the stage!" He announced into the microphone. I could see the confused look on his face as he walked up the stage. There was a slight rumbling and a few stage hands emerged as the rolled the piano to the center stage. "I hear you're taking special requests tonight, so please..." The DJ motioned towards the piano and Nino gave him a blank look. Suddenly, cheers errupted from the Nino fans as well as other female guest. Eventually the other Johnny's clapped too...Ohno included.

Sighing heavily, Nino seated himself at the bench and took off his leather jacket, which caused more squealing from the fangirls. I saw him smile weakly as he shot Ohno a helpless look. I followed his eyes and saw Ohno smiling at him and Aki lurking in the shadows. It's good this girl was smart enough to wait till Nino was fully immersed in his performance before making her move.

"So," The DJ started as he moved the microphone and a stand next to the piano, "Who shall we get the first request from?" There was a sound of footsteps and muttered apologies and complaints as the girls rushed up to the stage. The DJ stooped low for her to speak into the microphone, you could see the pink in her cheeks below the mask, 'Nino-kun, suki desu! Could you please sing Niji? Please?" She squealed into the microphone, and by the sound of the crowd, that had been what they wanted to hear as well.

Nino just nodded and the spotlight focused on him, his blindspots being everything outside the light. He poised his fingers over the keys and breathed deeply before he started to sing.

It’s always so.
When you pout.
You hide the most important thing of mine.
The place decided upon is the same.
Today, I will go and wait at our destination.

Eventually his voice drifted away and I made sure Aki caught my gaze before I made my way up to the rooftop garden to wait.


----------


Aki POV
Through the slits of the white mask, I saw the look in those eyes, and they were telling me to make my move. I emerged from my place in the dark and crept to Ohno-kun's side, startling him slightly. He smiled at me then turned back to watch Nino's performance.

There was no denying Nino's talent...even I was entranced for a few moments, before I remembered why I was here in the first place. "Ohno-kun?" I half whispered, and he turned to me. "I need..to..uhm....talk to you." He nodded and allowed me to pull him away from Nino's mini concert and into the main foyer.

He probably expected me to stop once we'd left the party room, but I continued pulling him till we reached the elevator. I pushed the button and waited, knowing the questioning look his eyes were giving me. "Aki-chan...where exactly are we going? I thought you had to talk to me." Thankfully the elevator arrived and I pulled him in with me and pressed the button the rooftop garden. "I do have to talk to you, I just...need some air." I could tell he didn't buy it...and I had to think quickly. The words Do whatever you have to do. Just get him up there and get him to stay up there. echoed in my head as the elevator came to a stop. I stepped out first and he followed after me. Up ahead were the glass doors and I pushed them open and embraced the night air.

"Ohno-kun..." I started and I saw that I had his full attention. "Uhm," I bit my lip, trying to figure out what to say, "The reason I wanted to talk to you was..." He shushed me suddenly and I blinked confused. "Aki-chan, this isn't neccessary, I know what's going on." His eyes twinkled when they caught the moonlight and my heart dropped to my stomach. He knew? How...what?! I thought panicked.

"Aki-chan, it's okay, I won't tell the others." He assured me and I was even more confused, "Huh?" was all I could manage, I had no idea what he was talking about now. "I won't tell the others that you like Aiba." he said, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "EHH???!!!!" I said...louder than I had to but really, that was unexpected. "You think...I..EHH??!!!" I said again. He nodded slightly. Now he was confused with my reaction, "Well, I don't just sit and drift off into my own little world all the time when I'm quiet. I observe people, and lately, I've noticed that worried look in your eyes whenever Sho smacks Aiba. I also noticed the way you were watching him in the car when he was wedged between Sho and Nino." I stared blankly...had I really been doing those things?

Behind Ohno, I saw the white mask slip into the groove of trees that covered the East side of the garden, and I slowly walked over there, my legs shaking with each step. "Aki-chan?" Ohno asked, concerned yet confused, the way he always was. "I'm fine...just need to...sit." I said and perched myself on the bench in front of the trees. He sat down beside me but said nothing. Was he observing me again?

Beyond the bench and through the grove was darkness. Only tiny rays of moonlight managed to shine through the small openings between the leaves and branches. The darkness in there scared me a bit, and I shivered a little as I imagined what would happen to Ohno the minute I left. "Am I really that obvious?" I asked him after sitting in silence for the longest time. Our eyes met, "No, at least not to the rest of them. I probably noticed it just cuz that's the way I am. But I already said, I won't tell anyone, so please, don't stress about it." I cleared my throat slightly, "You thought I was going to tell you that I liked Aiba?" I asked slightly amused. He nodded, "Why? Were you going to say something else?" I shook my head smiling to myself, "Uhm, I'll be right back...I need to go...find someone." He gave me a knowing look and smiled too, "I'll be waiting here." He said as I leapt off the bench and ran towards the doors leaving Ohno to his fate.


----------


He just sat there, twiddling his thumbs together, waiting for Yuki-chan to come back. He never saw it coming, he never even heard it coming. In less than a second, Ohno found himself being tugged into the cover of the trees; he tried his hardest to wriggle free of his kidnapper's grip but whoever it was refused to let go, and when he tried to call for help a gloved hand flew to his mouth, muffling his voice.

Ohno Satoshi had never been more frightened than he was now.

Uu, uu, uu, getting closer to the mysterious stranger. Can't wait.

Chapter 8 - In Another Lifetime

Nino was now singing Gimmick Game and playing the guitar along with it. He had the crowd going and it was as if this was his own solo concert. So far, he had sang Niji, Konseki, Yume and Natsu.

Once he had finished with Gimmick Game, the fan girls (and fan guys...go figure) were cheering like crazy. He put down the guitar and brought the mic to his lips, "There's something I want to say," he waited till the crowd quieted down, "As you know, the new Arashi album will be released in the new year, but I thought I'd give you a taste of what you'll find on the new album. I'd like to sing my own personal solo song for you guys, if you'll let me." He smiled the minute his fans errupted into cheers.

Nino didn't know if he was actually allowed to do this, but he wanted the world to hear his song. After all, he wrote this for Ohno...who of course didn't know it, but Nino secretly hoped that when Ohno heard it, he'd realize it was for him.

-------->(Click the link to hear the song. Nino doesn't actually sing it, but I was listening to it today on my iPod so i uploaded it onto imeem just for this.)

Nino brought the mic with him when he seated himself at the piano. He poised his fingers over the keys and began playing.

"I could hold on for a hundred years
When all else is gone
I would still be here
In a memory of things yet unseen
I’d remember all that we’ve never been
And I cannot wait to see
What life has in store for me

[chorus]
In another lifetime
It would be forever
In another world
Where you and I
Could be together
In another set of chances
I’d take the one’s I’d missed
And make you mine
If only for a time
My life would matter
In another life

And I’d stay as strong and I’d stay as true
And you’d have forever now to think it through
Coz I believe what wasn’t meant to be
Wasn’t meant for now and
Someday you’ll see
In a place and time we never know
I’d be standing there waiting for you

In another lifetime
It would be forever
In another world
Where you and I
Could be together
In another set of chances
I’d take the one’s I’d missed
And make you mine
If only for a time
My life would matter
In another life

You would be mine
But until that time is now
I’d be holding on somehow

In another lifetime
It would be forever
In another world
Where you and I
Could be together
In another set of chances
I’d take the one’s I’d missed
And make you mine
If only for a time
My life would matter
In another life

But until that time
I’ll be holding onto forever
Until another life "

He heard praise from the audience as well as his fellow Johnny's members when they appeared on the stage. Apparently they wanted to have an impromptu live performance as well, and win the hearts of their dates back.

Nino gladly hopped off the stage and returned to the bar where he thought Ohno was, only to find that he had disappeared. Did he hear my song? Nino wondered. It just wasn't right. Noone else had heard his solo before now, and it wasn't right that the person he wrote it for didn't even get to hear it.

Now depressed, Nino slumped at the bar counter and ordered a drink. "Nino," hearing his name, he turned to find Batman taking a seat beside him. He took a gulp of his drink, "Where's Robin?" Nino asked...not really caring. Sho turned to look and said, "He said something about watching Nishikido-kun singing Utada Hikaru's First Love along with the guitar. Maybe this time he'll remember the words." Sho added, laughing lightly. Nino grunted in response. He didn't care. He was depressed and pissed off. Not exactly the best combination with Nino but there was nothing that could lift his mood right now.

"What's wrong with you?" Sho asked, taking a sip from his own drink. He knew what was wrong. It was always the same with Nino. If it wasn't something wrong with his DS it was something about Ohno. Nino ignored him. "You know, you were putting on a pretty good performance. And the new solo was good." Sho said poking Nino lightly. "Glad someone stuck around to hear it." Nino complained and Sho realized what was bugging him. "Didn't Oh-chan like it?" Sho asked him, knowing he was walking a thin line, talking about Ohno right now.

"I wouldn't know if he liked it or not, since he left sometime during my performance!" Angry now, he drained the last of his drink and ordered another one, and downed it in seconds. Sho looked at his friend worriedly. Everyone knew that Nino had a thing for Ohno (probably everyone except Ohno knew) and it bugged him whenever Ohno couldn't see it. But it wasn't his fault. He was their quiet, innocent Leader and he was rather oblivious to things, especially things about him.

"You know, if just went out right with it and confessed, then maybe you wouldn't be so pissed off all the time." Sho started, knowing that this would make Nino even more upset. Shooting glances at the bar tender Nino just said, "I can't exactly tell the person how I feel. I don't want to ruin our friendship if it turns out they don't feel the same way. So now, I have to suffer with the way I feel till that stupid person wises up and realizes how I feel." He just drained the last of his 5th drink, and was about to start on his 6th when he suddenly felt a little woozy and fell onto Sho drunkenly.


----------


He just sat there, twiddling his thumbs together, waiting for Yuki-chan to come back. He never saw it coming, he never even heard it coming. In less than a second, Ohno found himself being tugged into the cover of the trees; he tried his hardest to wriggle free of his kidnapper's grip but whoever it was refused to let go, and when he tried to call for help a gloved hand flew to his mouth, muffling his voice.

Ohno Satoshi had never been more frightened than he was now.

His heart was beating fast as he was dragged into the cover of the trees, he had no idea who was kidnapping him or why. He tried to wriggle free again, even though he knew there was no use in doing so.

They came to an abrupt stop and Ohno found himself pinned against the wall by his kidnapper. Afraid that the person might have a weapon, he didn't try to run away, but he didn't try to scream either. It was dark all around him; if he his hand in front of his face, he wouldn't be able to see, it was a miracle whoever this was got them to the wall without falling.

One gloved hand was still over Ohno's mouth as the kidnapper threw off their mask knowing that he couldn't see their true identity. In the cover of darkness, the kidnapper smiled, knowing that Ohno would never see it coming.




______________________________________________
Author's Note Some things I'd just like to say, the song featured here is called, "In Another Lifetime" and it's sung by Gary Valenciano. This song was featured in the filipino movie "Eternity" which I've just watched for the millionth time. (I like Mark Herras <3) Oh, and I don't any of the actors/actresses/singers in above statement
and the song belongs to it's rightful owners and such and such.

Anyway, yay, ppl are confused, or at least were confused! That means I'm doing my job right. Some are probably wondering why I didn't continue with the whole Ohno & Kidnapper thing right away and started this chapter with Nino. Well you'll find out later on but I hope you remember that I mentioned in the prologue that the members would be writing their own solos, so there will be at least 4 more of these kinds of chapters that just focuses on the songs and the emotions around it.

And for the next solos, I may use a song that's sung by female artists, but just pretend it's the Arashi boy singing it. That's all I have to say for now, till next time.

ahhhh you know you're killing me right ... the suspense... i can't take it any more and i said i'll be patient

ah, gomenasai. i've been known to do those sorts of things to readers. don't worry though. the next chapter will be about Ohno and his pridicament (spelling? i've been having problems spelling lately)

so i hope you won't be too disappointed. i think i shall be able to post it either tomorrow or after the weekend. not too sure exactly, but i will update soon.

thanks so much for reading and commenting. it means alot

Chapter 9 - Kiss

One gloved hand was still over Ohno's mouth as the kidnapper threw off their mask knowing that he couldn't see their true identity. In the cover of darkness, the kidnapper smiled, knowing that Ohno would never see it coming.

Ohno POV
It all happened so quickly, I barely had time to blink or breathe. In a matter of nano-seconds, my kidnapper's lips were on mine and here I was just standing there. I didn't know what to do. Do I kick whoever this is and run away? Do I beat this person (even though they seem stronger) before running for help? Or do I kiss whoever this is back?

How many minutes had passed since these strange lips were placed upon mine? I didn't know, but I had no control over my body as my hand reached out and pulled this person closer. I felt the surprise my reaction to this had on the other person as they broke the kiss. Me being me, I pulled them back, catching their lips with mine.

Our chests pressed together...and that's when I realized... this was a man.




______________________________________________
Author's Note Yeah I know, it's short, but I wanted to keep you in the dark for a little while longer so to speak. Plus I felt kind of guilty for not updating as much.

Anyway, happy reading.

OOOOOOOOOOh, kinky, Nino will be so jealous.

wahhh~ i knew it i think!!!

wahh! can't wait to read more!
