“I can’t believe he’s gone.” Nino said in a monotone.

The doctors had rushed in once they found out what happened, but of course they knew it was already too late. The other body turned out to be the crazed, stalker girl who tried to kill Sho previously. She had escaped and came back to tried to kill Sho again. Ohno had stopped her at the risk of losing his own life. By the time the police had arrived, the girl had slipped away without anyone noticing. Who knows where she was and when she’ll strike again. Sho’s life was probably in danger so bodyguards were hired to follow and protect him.

The day had come for Ohno’s funeral. All of his closest friends and family were there, including four lonely figures standing in the back wearing tuxedoes.

“This is my fault.”Sho mumbled.

“Don’t blame yourself, Sho.” Jun patted his friend back. “You know it’s not your fault. It was that girl’s.”

“Yeah, but she’s my fan.”

“Sho, don’t be stupid.” Nino snapped, “It’s not like you told her to kill anybody. She’s just some deranged, psycho fangirl. You didn’t make her like that. She made herself like that. If Oh-chan hadn’t stopped her then, who knows what could’ve happened?”

“You’re right. But still…” Sho frowned.

There was one person who said quiet throughout the whole conversation. He stayed quiet through the entire funeral procession. He didn’t peep out one word nor did he cry one tear. He showed no emotion and just stared at his shoes emptily.

The funeral ended and slowly, one by one, each person left until only four remained.

“We might as well leave. We have a lot of work to do.” Jun sighed.

As three of them left, one remained, still unmoving.

“ You coming, Aiba-chan?” Sho asked.

“You’re so out of character today, come on.” Nino grabbed Aiba’s arm and tugged.

Aiba remained firmly planted, not moving an inch.

“Aiba…?” Sho glanced at his friend worriedly.

“Did you ever thing of how life would be like without Ohno?” Aiba spoke for the first time.

“It’s going to be hard, but we’ll get through it.” Jun said.

“What if we don’t get through it?”

“Huh?” the three replied, confused.

“Because I don’t think I can live like without Ohno. It’s always been the five of us. We’re Arashi. We can’t be Arashi one person short!” Aiba shouted.

His hidden emotions finally started to spill out. He pulled himself free from Nino and ran away from the others.

“Aiba!” Sho yelled after him.

“We have to follow him. Who knows what he’s going to do.” Jun said grimly, and began to run after Aiba.

“Aiba!”

A lone figure stood hovering over a cliff. He turned around and gaxed at the other three with sad, empty eyes.

“Aiba, do not jump! Do you hear me? Don’t go and suicide!” Nino warned his friend.

“What’s the point anymore? We can’t be Arashi without Ohno. Arashi has made me who I am today and now…I don’t know who I am anymore.”

The usually hyper and fun loving Aiba seemed so gloomy and dead.

“…Aiba may be right.” Nino said hestantingly.

“Yeah…” Sho glanced at Nino’s direction.

“What? Not you two too! We’re not all going to suicide just because Ohno died!” Jun roared.

“But we aren’t Arashi anymore. At least we can be with Oh-chan. We can be together again.” Nino reasoned.

Jun opened his mouth but then shut it again. Nino did have a point. The four of them lined up, all holding hands, over the edge of the cliff.

“Ready?” Jun breathed.

The others nodded.

“Sen no-“They all said together, preparing to jump.

“Don’t!”

Aiba’s head whipped around.

“Riida?”

Standing behind them was Ohno Satoshi, alive and looking completely healthy.

“Don’t do it. Don’t kill yourselves just because I’m dead.”

“But, Ohno, what are we suppose to do? How can we be Arashi without a leader?” Sho demanded.

“I always thought Sho-kun made a better leader than me.”

“That’s not what I meant! How can we be Arashi without you?”

“You don’t have to be. I’ll always be with you. Always.  I’ll wait for you. We’ll go to heaven together, but for the time being, I’ll be here, protecting you.”

“There can’t be Ohmiya SK anymore. And what about Juntoshi? What about fan service?” Nino pointed out.

“Nino, you know fan service never was really real. You can be Matsumiya JN or something.”

“Eeeew, that sounds gross.” Nino made a face.

“Oi! What does that mean?” Jun frowned.

Ohno chuckled softly to himself.

“Really? Promise? You would leave us?” Aiba choked out.

Ohno smiled and nodded. “I would never lie to you guys. You know that.”

Then Ohno slowly began to fade in and out.

“Ohno!”

He smiled faintly at them.

“Don’t worry. I’ll always be with you guys. But it just takes a lot of energy to make myself visible to you.”

Then he disappeared completely. The four no longer felt sad and alone. They knew Ohno would always be with them.

“So, Oh-chan is like our guardian angel now?” Nino grinned.

“That’s one way to put it.” Jun smiled back, putting an arm around Nino’s shoulder.

“Hey, I told you that Matsumiya will never happen, as long as I’m alive.” Nino shrugged Jun’s arm off.

Jun laughed. “I’m just playing, Nino.”

“Aiba? You alright?” Sho asked cautiously.

Aiba sniffed and gave Sho a wide smile. “Yep, I’m so glad I didn’t commit suicide. I knew I would have regretted it. So? Let’s not just stand around! Let’s DO some-“

Aiba had punched his fist up in the air, jumping a little. When his foot came back down, he accidently stepped over the edge of the cliff. Losing his footing, he fell backwards.

“MASAKI!” Sho yelled, trying to grab his friend’s arm.

“SHO!” Aiba shouted back, reaching for Sho’s hand.

But Sho wasn’t fast enough.

~Epilogue~

Nearly two years had passed since Ohno had died. Two friends gathered around his grave. One set down a banquet of brightly colored flowers.

“It’s been two years? Wow, right?” One of them spoke.

The one who put down the flowers nodded. “Yeah, I can’t believe two people we knew died that day.”

The other scoffed. “Oh, come on. We didn’t exactly KNOW her. She was just a psycho fangirl.”

“Kazu-chan, that’s mean.” The previous one frowned, “She’s still human either way. No one deserves to die.”

“Yes, she did deserve to die.”

“But-“

“Don’t argue with me. You know you won’t win.” Nino shushed him. “It would have been 3 deaths if Ohno didn’t save you, Masaki.”

“But-“

“No more buts. I’ve got a drama to get to. You can stay here as long as you want. Tell him that Sho and Jun said hi.”

“Okay, bye.” Aiba waved energetically.

“Ah, you have something on your face.” Nino pointed to Aiba.

“Eh? What? Get it off!” Aiba complained bending down.

Without warning, Nino softly pecked Aiba’s lips. Grinning his evil grin, he waved to Aiba.

“See you. Oh, and later, my house. Don’t forget.” Nino winked.

You thought Aiba was the one who died? Oh, no! It was the crazy stalker girl. She became so crazy, she came up with the theory that she could fly to Sho. So, strapping two pieces of paper to her arms, she jumped off a building and well, you can figure out what happened from there.

This is what happened after Aiba had fallen off the cliff:

Aiba was falling to his doom. He could hear Sho’s and the others’ voices getting fainter and he fell farther and farther down. This was it. After he said he wouldn’t commit suicide. In the end, he was destined to die.

Or so he thought.

“AIBA-CHAN!”

Suddenly he felt a rush of air and before he knew it, he was standing with both his feet on the ground.

“Where-where am I? Did I die?” Aiba gasped.

“Die? I don’t think so. I saved you. Be more careful, Aiba-chan. I might not be able to do that again.” Ohno’s voice faintly echoed in Aiba’s head.

“Masaki! You’re alive! How?” Sho shouted.

“You have to be more careful next time, Aiba!” Jun scolded him.

Sho was running at Aiba with open arms, preparing to hug him, but Nino beat him to it.

“Baka. Don’t ever do that again. I thought I lost you. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you were gone…” Nino whispered quietly into Aiba’s ear.

“Ni-Nino?” Aiba stuttered.

“Just…just let me hold you for a bit.”

That’s how their new life took off. The shock of almost losing Aiba made Nino’s hidden feelings for Aiba surface. It turns out Nino was never truly in love with Ohno. He was just trying to hide the fact he was really in love with Aiba. Sho, feeling abandoned, turned to Jun for comfort. That was the birth of the two new Arashi fan services, Aimiya and Sakumoto. Aimiya happened to be real, however.

“The flowers are pretty.” Ohno appeared in front of Aiba.

“You think?” Aiba smiled.

“Yeah.” Ohno smiled back.

Most of the time, Aiba was the only one who could see Ohno because he had a greater sixth sense. The others couldn’t even hear him so how could they possibly see him?

“You’re not mad that I stole Nino from you?” Aiba asked.

Ohno chuckled. “Aiba, we’ve been through this a million times. Ohmiya was fan service. There was never anything going between us. But I do miss all the Ohmiya stuff we used to do.”

“Do you think Sho and Jun will ever hook up?”

“Who knows? We’ll just have to wait and see, I suppose.”

“…I still miss you.”

“Yeah, but we’ll reunite soon enough.” Ohno faded away.

Aiba let out a satisfied sigh and left.  He had to get ready to meet Nino later that day.

~A.N.~

I know. Totally sucked. >.> I didn’t manage to finish this before school started for me. (As you can obviously see.) But at least it’s done right? I know I said two chapters but I got lazy and shoved everything into one, which probably made it beyond sucky… So sorry to all those people who were waiting. >.<

Who here thought that I actually made Aiba die? :D Oh, I wouldn’t be that cruel. ^^ Or would I? hee hee hee *evil laugh*

To make up, I’m going to make another Arashi fanfic soon! (maybe!) Probably not  Okay, maybe this might just torture you because I might not post it for months. >.> Or I might just not post it at all. (I know, aren’t I horrible?) Anyways, I will dedicate this fic to someone. ;) Wait and see who it is! (or not, depending if I even write it.)

Anyways, just a heads up to you people who read our stories. We are on a semi-hiatus. If you have not notice before, we sort of been on one ever since school started for us. >.> Sorry for not warning you beforehand. I hope you guys didn't think we were just being lazy and mean and not updating. School is an internet Arashi killing machine. We'll probably update rarely. This so happens to be one of our rare updates. SO sorry! ><

That’s all folks! :D (I’m feeling very loony toon ish. I don’t know why)
