Chapter 12

"Tadaima!" Jin shouted into the house.

"Okairii!" everyone shouted back as we entered.

"Oi, osoiyo [Hey, you're late (?)]," Ueda complained when he first saw us. I was still in a state of shock from the recent incident, so I wasn't really paying attention to the atmosphere or anyone else. My head was uncounsiously looking at the floor while Jin was holding the bag full of rice. "Erika-chan?" Ueda called. "Erika-chan?" he repeated.

"Huh?" I said coming back to reality. Everyone was there standing in front of Jin and I. They must've been staring when I was looking at the floor. "Ah, gomen [sorry]." I lowered my head in embarrassment.

"Daijoubu [Are you okay]?" Ueda asked trying to make me look at him.

"Ah." My eyes grew wider and then I looked at Jin with an unsure and worried face. He looked at me back as if he had no idea as to why I was looking at him in such a way. Then he just looked away from me. "Iie. Daijoubu desu [No. I'm alright]," I lied.

"Uwa~" Koki suddenly shouted. "Jin-kun, kore...nan desu ka [Jin, what...is this]?" He was pointing at Jin's cheek. It was red with a hand mark. "It's so red!"

Jin suddenly covered his cheek and looked around in embarrassment. "Betsuni [Nothing really]," he nervously answered.

"Eh~ It looks like you got hit hard," Koki added.

"Urese [Shut up]," Jin told him seriously.

Flashback

Bang! Boom! Bang! Boom!

I suddenly pulled back and pushed Jin away from me. "Baka [Idiot]!!!" I shouted and slapped him hard across the face.

"Ite [Ow]!!" he hissed loudly. "Nani sun dayo [What are you doing]?" he asked as he covered his cheek.

"Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!" I kept calling him. "Akanishi-san wa baka [Akanishi is dumb]!" I then ran away from him as fast and as far as I could.

Real Time

"Daijoubu [Are you alright]?" Kame suddenly asked me as he lifted my chin so I could look at him.

Our eyes met and my heart started to beat faster than ever. "H-hai. Daijoubu desu [Y-yes. I'm okay]."

"Yokata [I'm glad]," he said smiling. I concentrated at looking at the sweet, inocent Kame rather than everyone else commenting on Jin's mark on his face. But in the corner of my eye I could see Jin looking at the two of us. I couldn't see what sort of eyes, or what kind of facial expression, I just knew it wasn't a nice one.

"Yosh [Alright]!" Maru shouted. "Let's get this party ready!"

The decorations were left to me, Kame, and Jin. The food was left for Maru, Junno, and Koki. Ueda got all the music and electronics ready for the dancing and stuff. I really wanted them to do karaoke just for the hell of it. It'd be cool if I could see the senpais [seniors/upperclassmen] sing their kohais' [juniors/underclassmen] songs. And the other way around.

"Ueda-san," I called.

He was fixing up the TV to make sure all the wires were connected the right way and such. He didn't turn to face me, but he heard me. "Hai [Yes]?" he answered.

"Would it be okay if you guys did karaoke?" I asked doubtingly.

"Ii yo [It's okay]," he answered casually.

"Hontou [Really]?" I asked excitedly.

"Nn. Demo [But], you can't let us sing our own songs." He got out from behind the TV and faced me. "Sore ga dame [That isnt' good]."

"Hai [Right]," I answered. It wasn't like I was going to make them sing their own songs in the first place.

A few hours later the house was ready to go! The decorations were amazing, the food was smelling good, and the dance floor was looking good. "Yatta [We did it]!" Maru shouted and jumped into the air.

Junno started to laugh. "Yeah we did!" They exchanged high fives, and then passed them around the group. But when it reached to me and Jin, we just looked away from each other. Everyone sensed the weird atmosphere, even Junno, and suddenly became concerned. But because they didn't want to kill the party feeling, they didn't ask what was wrong this time. Good thing.

Ding. Dong.

"Ah! Hayai [That was fast]," Koki said as he ran to answer the door. "Hai?" He opened the door and six people came walking in. It was NEWS! "Ah, NEWS-san, dozo [Ah, NEWS, come in]."

"Arigatou," Yamapi said and walked in with the rest of the group.

"Ah, Yamapi!" Jin shouted all excited Totally different from before.

"Jin!" Yamapi greeted. They exchanged high fives and then Jin wrapped his arm around him. "Yo!" Yamapi said slaluting him.

"Yo!" Jin replied.

"Kazuya-kun, yo!" Yamapi greeted.

"Yo, Yamapi," Kame greeted back.

I was just standing there in disbelief. I didn't think this was how thet greeted each other. Yo? And then Yamapi noticed me. "Ah, is this the girl who's going to be living with you for a while?" he asked observing me.

"Yup," Koki answered.

"Kawaii [You're cute]," he told me.

"Ah, arigatou [thanks]," I said nervously and looked down.

"Darou [Right]?" Koki asked putting his arm around my shoulder.

"Oi!" Jin and Kame suddenly shouted in unison at Koki. They looked at each other and then looked away.

"Eh? Doushita [What's wrong]?" Koki asked confused. The two didn't say anything. Instead, Koki just lifted his arm off of me. "Gomen [Sorry]?" he apologized unsure if that was what they wanted.

"Osu [Hey]!" Ryo came in saluting everyone.

"Osu!" everyone greeted.

"Domo [Hello]," I greeted politely and bowed.

"Domo," Ryo replied and did the same.

A few moments later Arashi arrived. And then Hey! Say! JUMP. It took me a while to adjust to the friendly atmosphere and to the fact that I was surrounded with famous people. I was completely nervous and excited. Seeing all these famous and good looking guys made my heart race everytime one of them passed by. They would talk to me occasionally, but then it'd get sort of awkward and we'd seperate.

I ended up sitting on a chair in the corner of the living room. Everyone else was in the kitchen and family room. "Ah~" I sighed and lowered my head. "I'm so tired."

"Same here," someone called in front of me.

"Eh?" I looked up and discovered it was Nino from Arashi. "Ah, domo."

"Domo," he greeted and sat down on a chair next to me. "Having fun?" he asked.

I tilted my head. "Sou ka na [I wonder]," I honestly told him.

"Eh? Doushita no [What's wrong]?" Nino asked shocked.

"I'm having more of a heart attack than having fun is what you can say," I told him.

He started to giggle. "Nande [Why]?"

"They're so many good looking guys here. And they're all famous. Plus, it's been my dream to meet them all. It's sort of surreal."

"Hmmm."

"Ah, gomen [sorry]. I must sound really weird."

"Iie [No]," he said. "Your reply is different than from what we get most of the time."

"Eh? Do yu koto [What do you mean]?"

"Most of the time, our fans would be going crazy right now. They'd be talking to every single one of us and asking questions. Wanting pictures or a kiss on the cheek. Sometimes the requests go even further. Hearing your reply is sort of different."

"Sou [I see]," I said in a disappointed tone. Nice to know I'm not normal.

"Iya [No], I didn't mean it in a bad way. I meant it in a good way. Like it's refreshing and good to know that not every single one of our fans are crazy people."

"Sou ka [I see]," I said confused. I didn't know if that meant I was normal, or weird.

"Nee [Hey]," he called.

"Hai?"

"Do you play video games?" he asked curiously.

"Video games?" I asked. He nodded. "H-hai."

"Wanna play?" he asked taking his DS out of his pocket.

"Isshun ni [Together]?" I asked pointing at the both of us.

"Mouchiron [Of course]," he told me.

"H-hai!" I answered excited.

"What game do you want to play?" he asked taking the game in his DS out.

"What games do you have on you?"

"Kirby, Mario Kart, Pokemon and other stuff," he answered.

"Mario Kart," I told him.

"Yosh [Alright]. I'll wait for you here. You go get your DS and the game."

"Hai." I jumped off the chair and ran upstairs to my room. DS. DS. DS. DS. DS. Where is it? I dug through my luggage and pulled out a crap load of clothes. I was in a rush, so I left them on my bed. "Atta [Found it]!" I took out my black DS and opened it. The screen wasn't scratched from the trip. "Yatta!" I took the game out of the DS to make sure it was Mario Kart. It was. "Yosh!" I ran back downstairs and went into the living room. "Nino-" I was looking at the chair he was sitting at, but he wasn't there. "-miya-san?"

"Oi! Yamete [Hey! Stop it]!" I heard someone scream in the kitchen.

"Yamete!" other people shouted.

"Huh?" I placed my DS on a small coffee table and left for the kitchen. "What's going on?" The kitchen was full of people. Everyone was surrounding the counter and everywhere else. "Sumimasen [Excuse me]," I said as I tried to push my way into the center of the circle. "Sumimasen."

"Oi! Doushita no?!" I heard some ask in anger. It was Nino's voice. Ninomiya-san. I pushed my way into the circle even harder and then I finally made it. "What the hell is your problem?" He was screaming at Jin and Kame. Eh? Nande? I looked to my left and saw that Yamapi was holding onto Jin in something that looked like a wrestling move. I looked to my right and I saw that Ueda was holding onto Kame really tightly from the back. "Is this the way you guys act in a party?" Nino shouted.

"Senpai no kaken nai [It's none of Senpai's concern (?)]," Jin mummbled looking away.

"I don't care whether it's my concern or not. The fact that you two are acting like this in a party that isn't even yours is all I need to know," Nino told him seriously.

"Oi, Jin," someone else said from the crowd. Suddenly, MatsuJun came out of the crowd to help out Nino. "What were you guys fighting about?"

"Fighting?" I asked myself. I looked closer to Jin's and Kame's faces and realized that they both had wounds on their lips and they were both bleeding. "Maji de [Are you serious]?"

Kame and Jin looked at each other with cold eyes and then they looked away. "Oi," Yamapi said shaking Jin. "Out with it."

"Kazu-kun, what happened?" Ueda asked him.

"Betsuni," Kame answered.

"Ore mou [I agree]. Nothing happened," Jin replied.

"Can't really call a kiss nothing," Kame hissed.

"Nani [What]?" Jin asked pissed off.

"Oi!" Ueda yelled.

"Want to say that again?" Jin asked in a threatening tone.

"You. Can't. Call. A. KISS. Nothing," Kame repeated slower.

"Kisama [Bastard]!"Jin let loose of Yamapi's grip and ran towards Kame with a fist in the air.

"Come get some!" Kame shouted and let loose of Ueda's grip. He ran towards Jin with the same fist in the air and charged.

"Yabe [Oh no]!" I said to myself. I intinctly ran to the middle of the circle to come in between the fists, but I wasn't sure if I would make it in time. I ran as fast as I could and then stopped in the middle of them.

What the hell am I doing?!
