Please come back to me - 12
Only one more chapter to go before the end of the story. I really enjoyed translating my work... somehow now that it's finished I don't know what to do... Anyway, I hope you'll like chapter 12.
Questions: why KAT-TUN could have become Cat burglars? and why Jin is actually a better friend than expected...?
Chapter 12
あたりまえに 君がいたね
大切だと 言えずにいた 近すぎて
君はいつも 何かいつも
言おうとして 黙りこんで うつむいたね
Please Come Back To Me あの頃はもう 帰らない
あんな好きな人にもう出会えない I Can't Forget You
君は誰に抱かれて 今日眠りにつくの?
まだ 愛しくて
久しぶり 仲間達と
同じ顔 同じ場所 でも一つ 君がいない
“Ueda! Come on, open the door! We are worried!!”
Kame and the rest of KAT-TUN have been knocking at his door for quite a long time. But Ueda doesn’t answer and doesn’t let them in.
It’s been looking for her for weeks and lately he hasn’t even bothered to go to the practices or shootings. She disappeared. Chiaki isn’t part of his life anymore and it hurts. He wants her to come back. He wants to see her again, take her in his arms and never let her go again.
Suddenly he can hear a strange noise and he sees the door open.
“Well done Koki” Maru praises the other guy.
“I always knew that my picking talent would come in handy one day.”
Masaka〜 he can’t believe his eyes. KAT-Tun are letting themselves in his flat by breaking in it!
“Ueda!” Jin calls out “we have to talk! Jeez, at least you could have said something to me - you know I don’t care about the band either! - ouch!”
“Baka” Kame emphasizes.
But Jin managed to lighten the atmosphere and even Ueda is smiling now.
“Jin’s right” Taguchi adds “we are your friends -”
“And we’re going to help you!”
***
“Are you sure it’s safe to go there?” Jin asked Kame, not very self-assured. “… and who gave you the address by the way?”
“Some friends” Kame answers.
“Eeh? But who?”
But he doesn’t say anything. The others don’t insist. Maru is first one to speak again.
“Anyway, stop complaining Jin. The street we’re going through is scary indeed but the place we’re going to isn’t. Look, it’s located in a very nice area!”
After walking a few more minutes, they finally arrive at the address. To their surprise they are now outside a nursery school.
“Are you sure we’re at the right place?” Koki asks, a little worried.
Kame looks at his paper and nods.
“We have to go and ask for Ichihara-sensei.”
***
Ueda is quite nervous and wonders whether the young woman sitting opposite to him is really going to help him. They are alone in an empty classroom. Apparently Ichihara-sensei knew they were coming.
“What can I do to help, Ueda-chan?”
He doesn’t know where to start. He can’t help staring at her school apron. It has a big smiling sun embroided on it.
“Does it have something to do with your eyes?” she suggests.
He raises his head and looks at her in surprise. She’s smiling.
“Someone put a seal on your power. That’s why you can’t see supernatural creatures anymore.”
So that’s what the fairy did. I’ll protect you by any means? That’s what she meant.
“I want my powers back” he firmly states.
“Why” Ichihara-sensei asks, quite taken aback “I mean the person who put the seal on your power did it to protect you and -”
“I don’t care” Ueda cuts off, “There’s someone - someone I’d like to see again.”
He lowers his head. Of course he knows that if he gets his power back, he’ll have to face all kinds of problems again. But Chiaki-chan means too much to him. Ichihara-sensei resumes:
“Someone you’d like to see… I can lift the seal on your power but I need something in return”
Something in return?
“What exactly do you want?” the young man asks.
“Anything of equal value…”
She seems to be thinking now.
“What can I offer…?
“Are they your friends?” she points at the other KAT-TUN members who are waiting outside the classroom.
Ueda nods.
“A date with him and I agree to lift the seal.”
The young man looks at her wide-eyed.
“Eeeh?”
She’s got a mischievous smile on her face. He doesn’t really know what to say.
“Er - I need to ask him first…”
He’s too flabbergasted to think properly. He gets out of the room.
***
“What!? You want me to do what?”
Jin’s voice is very high-pitched.
“Please, I’m asking you as a friend. If you just accept to go on a date with her, she’ll lift the seal on my power…”
Jin looks inside the classroom. Ichihara-sensei smiles back at him and waves her hand in his direction. The young woman is quite attractive but still! He sighs.
“Ok, then.”
“You’re the best!” Ueda cries out.
“No need to turn all sweet to me now…”
But the two friends start laughing.
“Thanks” Ueda simply says.
