Japan~ chappie 12 part iii
“He plays base ball…”
“Hayato sucks at base ball…”
“Oh, well… maybe his supposed to be mom, I guess…”
Jay concluded and joined to flail with the rest of the kids.
“So, this is where your grandparents live?”
Nick pointed to the house in front of him.
“No, my uncle Reio.”
Hayato shook his head and rang the door bell.
“Hai~”
The boys heard the sound of footsteps getting closer, and was soon met with an older woman.
“Can I-“
“AUNTIE!!!!”
Hayato exclaimed, and hugged her tightly.
“Hayato…”
Akanishi Rena gasped.
“Okaa-san, is that otou-san at the-“
Reio stood frozen.
“Aniki…”
“UNCLE REIO!!!”
He released his hold around the lady, and waved at him.
“Aniki…?”
“Baka uncle, Hayato dayo!”
“I’m Hayato!!!”
“Long time no see, uncle Reio!!!”
Reio faked a chuckle and walked towards them.
“Hey…”
“When did you get here?”
He shook his head, and blinked back a few tears.
“Few hours ago.”
The teen replied.
“Oh, this is my friend, Nick.”
He gestured to the blonde next to him.
“Nick, you’ve seen them, before…”
“This is Akanishi Rena, and Akanishi Reio.”
“They came a lot when we were kids.”
“And on lots of pictures back home.”
“Of course.”
Nick smiled.
“It’s nice to meet you.”
Both Reio and Hitomi smiled at Nick.
“Reio… why don’t you bring the boys to the yard.”
She smiled.
“I’m still cleaning, so when everything’s done… snacks will be waiting.”
“Okay.”
The youngest Akanishi nodded.
“Come on, Hayato.”
Rena ran back inside and put down every frame pictures on the wall.
Hayato being here, and still looking so oblivious, she took it that Kazuya hasn’t told him yet.
She went into Jin’s room, and made sure there are no pictures of her son hanging there.
And place some of Reio’s pictures as a decoy.
She stopped in front of the tatami room, and locked it.
Making sure she didn’t miss anything, she called the three back in the house.
“Auntie!!!”
Hayato hugged her again.
“I missed you.”
“Not auntie, sweety.”
She cupped his cheek.
“It’s grandma.”
“Grandma?”
Hayato frowned.
“I-I mean…”
She smiled nervously.
“I’m old, calling me auntie would be embarrassing.”
“You’re not THAT old, auntie!”
He chuckled.
“Hmmm, this is so good.”
Hayato pointed at the rice cracker.
“It’s your tou-san’s favorite.”
Reio said.
“Really?”
Hayato smiled.
Rena threw her son a look.
They hope he didn’t realize his flaw.
Kame hates onion, or anything that has that flavor.

“Nick-kun is sleeping.”
Reio pointed towards the guest room.
“Oh.”
Hayato nodded, and suppressed a yawn.
“I’m starting to feel sleepy too.”
“You want to go to sleep too?”
“Later.”
The teen shook his head.
“I want to wait for uncle Hitoshi.”
“Besides, it’s only 6, uncle Reio.”
Reio nodded, and sat beside his nephew.
“Your Japanese is improving, I see.”
“Yeah, I want to say things in Japanese to that person.”
Hayato smiled.
“Oh, my nephew’s got himself a girlfriend?”
Reio grinned.
“Ah!”
Hayato’s eyes slightly widened.
“Well, yeah…”
“And… she’s Japanese?”
Reio raised his brow.
“Yeah…”
Hayato nodded.
“She’s… special.”
“She’s gotta be a beauty, then?”
“Oh, that…”
Hayato sighed dreamily.
“Very special.”
“Where is she from?”
Reio sipped his coffee.
“She was born and raised in Tokyo.”
Hayato replied.
“Ah… Tokyo boy meets Tokyo girl too.”
Reio chuckled.
“Sou day yo nee….”
He laughed along.
“Oh, hold on, okay, I need to make a phone call to Kazuha.”
“Kazuha?”
Reio raised his brow.
“My fiancée.”
Reio smiled.
“She’s your future aunt.”
“Uncle Reio, you never told me you’re engaged!”
The teen stood up.
“Omedettou, uncle Reio!!!”
Reio laughed.
“Is she coming??!”
The teen grinned.
“I want to meet her!!!”
“She’d love to meet you too.”
Reio smiled.
“Chotto matte ne.”
Hayato nodded, and turned his attention to the tv.
When Reio went back to the living room, the teen fell asleep on the sofa.
Reio looked down, and choke on a sob.
“Aniki…”
He turned around when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
“Okaa-san…”
He wiped his tears away.
“I miss him too, Reio.”
She smiled sadly.
“He’s not your aniki, sweet heart.”
“He’s your nephew.”
Reio nodded.
“Why is Kazuya nii-san not telling him yet?”
He mumbled.
“It’s hard for him, Reio.”
She pat his cheeks softly.
“Well, I’ll go get some blankets for Hayato.”
“Is Kazuha-chan still coming?”
“Yeah.”
Reio followed the older one to one of the room.
“I’ll get the blanket, kaa-san.”
“Now, are you sure you’re fine if I leave you here with Nick-kun?”
Rena frowned.
“Yes, auntie.”
Hayato sighed.
“You go to uncle Hitoshi.”
“It’s an important office event after all.”
“I’m sure your husband would want you there.”
She smiled and ruffled his hair.
“Okay, sweety.”
“The food’s in the fridge, and just heat them up.”
“There’s pasta-“
“PASTA!!!”
Hayato exclaimed.
“LOVE YOU, AUNTIE!”
She chuckled and ruffled his hair again.
“I’ll see you before dinner, Hayato.”
“Take care, auntie!!!”
He waved.
“They’re nice.”
Nick commented.
“They love me!!!”
Hayato beamed.
“Oh, Jay is at the beach.”
Nick pointed.
“Is he having fun?”
Nick threw his best friend a look.
“Good for him.”
He got up and laughed.
“I’m hungry.”
Nick got up and followed.
They pushed each other along the hallway back to the living room after their lunch.
“Damn you!”
Nick got up and gave his best friend a punch in his arm.
“Sorry, dude…”
He laughed.
“I pushed you so hard; you fell in to my uncle’s room.”
Nick looked around the plain room.
“This is a bedroom?”
“No bed anywhere.”
“Futon.”
Hayato slid open the closet, and pointed to the bulky white thing inside.
“Uncle Reio sleeps in a futon.”
“I thought the room I slept in last night was his room.”
Nick frowned.
“No, this is his room.”
Hayato pointed around.
“Look around, his pictures are on the wall.”
“Oops…”
He laughed sheepishly, knocking things down the shelves from inside the closet.
“Clean it up, Nick.”
Hayato pointed.
“I know, I know!”
The blonde rolled his eyes.
“Damn… this laptop’s old…”
Hayato mumbled.
“Hey… I found pictures of your tou-chan and uncles.”
Nick pointed to the pictures stacked neatly.
“This looks familiar.”
He picked up a frame with K-A-T-T-U-N printed on the top.
“Familiar?”
Hayato raised his brow as he took a look at the frame.
“Yeah, Jay was rummaging through your tou-chan’s cabinet, and… there’s a frame like this too.”
He nodded.
“And same pictures.”
“6 of them, covered in bubbles.”
Nick stated.
“Look, the one in the front, your tou-chan, right?”
“Yeah.”
Hayato chuckled.
“And my uncles.”
“They’re so skinny.”
Nick commented.
“I guess they don’t eat much junk food growing up.”
The blonde laughed.
“Oh, hey, who’s this one?”
He pointed to the person behind Kamenashi Kazuya.
“I know there’s uncle Junnosuke, uncle Koki, uncle Tatsuya, and uncle Yuichi.”
“Ah, of course, it’s uncle Reio, right?”
Nick took the frame.
“It is his room, and we find this in here.”
“So everything belongs to him.”
Hayato stare at the frame blankly.
“… Yeah… uncle Reio…”
Nick placed the frame back, and took out an album.
“Hayato…”
The blonde frowned.
“No offense, but…”
“I think your uncle has some kind of obsession of your tou-chan.”
Hayato turned around.
“What makes you say that?”
The blonde lifted up a big photo album.
“This whole thing in here contains pictures of uncle Kazuya.”
Nick opened it, going from page to page.
“A young uncle Kazuya, till… maybe his late teens…”
“Are Akanishi and Kamenashi related?”
Hayato took the album, and took a seat on the study table.
True to what his best friend said, the album contained pictures of his love.
From the age of 13, till maybe about 19 or 20.
Pictures he never even seen.
Not even in the Kamenashi house hold.
“Well at least this is normal.”
Hayato turned back around to see his best friend holding yet another album.
An album that has the same letters like the frame.
KAT-TUN
“What’s in there?”
Hayato stood next to Nick, and peeked in.
“Pictures of uncle Kazuya with the rest of your uncles.”
Nick mumbled.
“I must say, they love to dress up, huh?”
“Or, the styles back then are very…”
The blonde trailed.
“Colorful.”
“They dress up in frilly things…”
Nick pointed.
“Lots of accessories.”
“Wow… pirates.”
Nick chuckled.
Hayato took a closer look at the six standing what looks to be a photo studio.
Clad in purple suits, and have accessories those of pirates.
Big hats with feathers adorned, and eye patches.
He noticed their hair would always be in different styles.
Especially his Kazuya.
The first 10-15 pages, his Kazuya’s hair is brown-ish and shoulder length.
After, it gets longer.
Then, it changed to red-ish, shorter.
And he noted some of the pictures are taken so professionally.
And some are candid.
“Your uncle Reio is rare in here.”
Nick commented as he kept flipping the pages.
“When he’s in the picture, his face is hardly shown.”
“What a memory…”
The blonde smiled.
“From 1998, till 2008.”
“We should do that too, Hayato.”
He laughed.
“Later in the future, our kids would look back at how their dads are in their teens.”
“Well, they’d of course would laugh at our weird fashion, like how I’m doing now.”
“Hayato?”
Nick frowned when all the other did was stare at the album on his hand.
The blonde followed his best friend’s line of sight.
Hayato was staring at a picture of his tou-chan next to someone taller than him.
Uncle Kazuya was pouting his lips towards the one with the fedora hat.
The other one looked down on him, and had a smile on his lips.
“Nick.”
He shook his head slightly, and look at his best friend.
“Go eat first, I’ll finish putting the rest away.”
“Huh?”
The blonde frowned.
“But-“
“It’s fine.”
Hayato gave the other a forced small smile.
“Besides, you won’t know how to put them in order, since they’re not in alphabet, Nick.”
“Oh…”
He grinned.
“Cool, thanks, man.”
“I’ll heat the dish for you as well.”
Hayato nodded and crouched down on the floor.
Gathering the books, albums, and papers thrown on the floor.
He couldn’t ignore the tugging feeling in his heart.
The last to go on the top of the shelf, was the KAT-TUN frame.
He picked it up, and looked at the 6 letters.
“KAT-TUN…”
He mumbled.
“Why does that sound familiar…?”
He looked around to the pictures of Reio on the wall.
And looked back on the second person behind the young Kazuya.
He frowned.
“Is this really uncle Reio?”
Then he glance at the album with KAT-TUN on it.
Sighing, the teen opened the closet wider, make sure he didn’t miss anything.
He placed the frame on the top shelf.
“I guess aunty and uncle Reio never move this in a while…”
He scrunched his nose at how dusty the shelves are.
The teen stepped further into the closet.
Opening the door inside, led him to another side of closet, a smaller one.
Clothes; from jeans, hoodies, jackets, and accessories stored inside.
“Uncle Reio sure is attached to his old clothes.”
The teen turned around, only to knock down the DVD collections next to the book shelves.
“Damn!”
He hissed.
Being the good boy he is, he put clean up his mess.
His lover is a neat freak after all.
And back at home, if one makes the mess, one has to clean it up.
ごくせん
たったひとつの恋
さぷり
アネゴ
“Gokusen 2… Tatta hitotsu no koi… Anego… Nobuta wo-“
The teen listed the names of the DVD.
“Such weird titles.”
“Don’t tell me, these are porn…”
The teen scrunched his nose in disgust.
When all was put back on the shelves, and ready to leave out, he stopped and took two DVD case that left on the floor.
He was going to put it among the other stacks with the other loose DVD cases, but stopped when he read the titles in front of the case.
My Kazu-chan
And the other one…
September 27, 2008…
The teen just frowned, he walked out of the room bringing the cd with him, and when he got to the living room, he popped one of the two in, and waited for the screen to play.
