The curry, the name, and the secret
"Inoo chan are you sure you're okay now?" Chinen asked Inoo after peeling a potato. The dinner is assigned to the two youngest member of the group but Inoo demanded to help them because they are going to cook curry which is his favorite dish.
"I'm feeling fine now Chinen kun" Inoo said while slicing some onions.
"Did Yabu chan gives you like something to eat?" The younger had stopped peeling, nervous if Inoo received any.
"Yeah. He left a porridge" Inoo rolled his eyes. Just a single memory of it is so traumatic for him.
"Did you throw it?"
"Of course not"
"You ate that?" Chinen shrieked which confuses him. Inoo nodded his head few times and Chinen's jaw dropped upon the revelation.
"Why? What's the problem Chinen kun?"
"There's no problem Inoo chan. I just can't believed that you managed to live after eating that" The younger guy slightly laughed.
"He's a horrible cook" Morimoto Ryutaro joined the conversation.
"I think that is true" Inoo joked but he really meant it.
"Ryu chan you're supposed to help me here and to clear this to you, Inoo chan isn't your substitute" Chinen glared at the boy younger than him but that won't have any effect to Ryutaro.
"Ryu chan put your phone down and help us in here" Chinen calmly said but Ryutaro didn't take off his eyes to the gadget that he is holding.
"Ryu chan are you deaf or stupid?" Because he's so much pissed, Chinen grabbed a clove of garlic which came flying to Ryutaro's side.
"First of all I'm not deaf and second, this is not a phone! It is called P-S-P! for gamer's sake! Now who is stupid, shorty?" Ryutaro stood up from his seat and went closer to where Chinen is standing so he can show to the other guy that even if he's older, Ryutaro will always be taller than him. Height matters.
"Morimoto kun, Chinen kun, your little fight won't help us finish preparing the dinner. It's getting late too" Inoo smiled, trying to calm the soon to chaotic atmosphere. The two young guys looked at each other for a while and hugged each other after. It shocked and at the same time amuses Inoo because it seems like he had just witnessed how a siblings' fight got resolved and it makes him want to smash a keyboard and flail from too much cuteness that happened in front of him.
"Sorry about that Inoo chan" The youngest guy scratches his head while apologizing.
"We're always fighting but it doesn't mean we hate each other. That's just our way on how to show love to one another" Chinen puts his arm to Ryutaro's shoulder but struggle big time because he needed to tip toed just to meet the younger's height.
"Shut up" Ryutaro mumbled after shoving off the thin arm on his shoulder.
After peeling and chopping all the ingredients, Inoo takes charge on cooking the food because Chinen can't turn on the stove while Ryutaro don't know how to use any cooking utensils. It made Inoo thinks that what would happen to their dinner if these two did all the cooking. Maybe the result would be dreadful and certainly Yabu would scold the two adorable boys and Inoo doesn't want that to happen. Good thing that he thought of helping them.
"Chinen kun how come you two are close with Yabu kun?" Inoo asked out of the blue.
"I mean, he obviously hates me. What can I do so can't think of me as an eye sore?" Inoo added, his sight never leaves the pan of curry he is waiting to boil.
"Because he is our father" Ryutaro answered which earned a nod from Chinen.
"Your what?"
"Fa-ther... Pa-pa.." Chinen sang.
"How is that possible? Yabu is like 4-5 years older than you. Who said that?" Inoo pouted.
"The fans"
"Oh..They are really powerful" Inoo giggled.
"Yabu chan is actually a big brother to us. He's always there to help" Chinen said.
"But still, it didn't answer my problem" Inoo sighed.
"He doesn't hates you, believed me. He just can't properly expressed his emotions" Chinen pats his back.
"He hates what he likes" Ryutaro joined Chinen on patting the pale guy's back.
"He's actually Mr. Opposite" Chinen added.
"Thanks guys but I know you just want me to feel better" Inoo hugged Chinen and Ryutaro.
"Inoo chan ..... can you be our mother?" Ryutaro gave him a face that is very hard to decline.
"WHAT????!!!"
"Please Inoo chan" Chinen puppy eyed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yabu kun I think we should discuss this when all the members are present in here" Yamada suggested. Yabu, Hikaru, Takaki, Daiki, Yuto, Yamada, and Keito are having an urgent meeting inside the music room.
"Mr. Tanaka called. He wanted us to give him the name we want for our band and we only have 45 minutes now to decide because he'll be calling again later" Yabu taps his fingers on the arm rest of his seat.
"Where are the other members?" Daiki asked.
"Chii and Ryutaro are assigned for the preparation of dinner" Keito answered, turning off his ipod.
"Where's Inoo?" Yabu crosses his arm and then all attention are instantly on him. Their leader unconsciously said his thought aloud and it also surprises him.
"Someone's worried~" Hikaru teased.
"Now you're concerned about him after of what you did?" Takaki rolled his eyes at Yabu.
"That's right. What's with the sudden change of heart?" Yuto touches his imaginary mustache.
"Maybe because of guilt" Takaki stared at Yabu with a smug expression on his face.
"You guys didn't know well this friend of mine" Hikaru chuckled.
"Takaki sound so protective towards Inoo chan. Is he your new target?" Daiki changed the topic.
"Are you jealous?" Takaki asked back which made Daiki's face a bit distorted.
"Guys we already spent 15 minutes from that conversation" Keito glances at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Thank you very much for a very productive discussion which left us with only 30 minutes to brain storm. Shall we start gentlemen?" Yabu's tone became serious and everyone in the room immediately starts to think of a name that would perfectly suit the group.
"How about Arashi?" Yuto suggested and everyone looked at him with their faces begging for an explanation.
"Like we'll take the country by storm" Yuto proudly said but the name didn't sell to the members.
"You and your suggestion sound so disastrous" Yamada scratches his head.
"Sexy Zone?" Yabu tried his idea but Hikaru, his best friend, looked at him from head to toe.
"With your body, that's imposssible" Hikaru laughed while some of the members fake coughed to hid their laughter.
"Then, Hey!Say!Jump?" Keito Okamoto raised his hand. Each of the members' eyes gleamed upon hearing Keito's suggestion.
"Keito... that was...." Hikaru clapped his hand.
"Horrible" Takaki finished Hikaru's comment.
"Definitely not Hey!Say!Jump" Yamada shook his head.
"That name won't work for us" Daiki pouted.
The seven frustrated boys sighed in sync. Every name they are suggesting wouldn't be accepted by the other members. That scene would be in cycle which ended with nothing.
"I'm totally running out of ideas" Hikaru rolls on the couch.
"You didn't suggest any" Yabu got irritated to the whine of Hikaru.
"Hey! Hey! How about Bakaleya 6?" Hikaru stood up, trying to convince the other guys to accept his idea.
"Hikaru kun we have 10 members" Yuto frowned.
"Oh"
"Then Bakaleya 10~" The goofy guy beamed but 6 pieces of pillow and a slipper simultaneously hit his thin frame.
"Oi that was rude!" Hikaru complained while trying his best to cry but failed. Then laughter filled the entire room. Suddenly, A loud ring from a vintage looking phone startled everyone and panic is visible on every member's face. Yabu stood up and slowly picks the phone. He cleared first his throat before answering.
"Moshi moshi. Yabu Kota desu"
"Good evening Yabu kun. I believe that you can give me the name now" The man from the other line spoke.
"A-no.. about that.." Yabu wipes the sweat forming on his forehead while looking for some help coming from his co-members. While everyone inside is still on a state of panic, Chinen Yuri who is wearing an apron stepped in.
"What's with everyone's face?" The young boy thought to himself but ignored it as he skips immediately towards the person he is looking for. The six older guys tried to stop him but unfortunately, Chinen is quick.
"Yabu chan did you eat my parfait?" Chinen pouted.
"Parfait?" Yabu wondered but eventually realized that he's still talking with Mr. Tanaka on the phone.
"Parfait...hmmm.. Okay. I'll tell that to the boss"
"Wait Mr. Tanak-"
*Beep beep beep beep beep*
And that's how Yabu's conversation with Mr. Tanaka ended. The lanky guy glared at the still pouting boy in front of him.
"I was just asking! Do't look at me Yabu chan like I did something wrong" Chinen groaned and grumpily dragged his feet outside the room.
"Now we're screwed with PARFAIT" Takaki flopped down on the couch.
"Makes me hungry" Yamada taps his stomach and the others nod in agreement.

"Oishii yo!" Ryutaro exclaimed after tasting the freshly cooked curry made by Inoo.
"This is really good Inoo chan"
"Arigato Morimoto kun. By the way where is Chinen kun?" Inoo noticed the absence of the other guy.
"He's looking for Yabu kun" Ryutaro left Inoo who is standing near the stove. The younger guy went back to the table to grab his PSP but a panda printed wallet caught his eyes. The boy knows that it is wrong to peek at personal things that obviously isn't yours but something urges him to do so.
The wallet has some money and lots of identification cards inside. a fan club card from Panda Chan made Ryutaro giggled but a picture of a child that he certainly saw somewhere surprised him.
"Morimoto kun that's my wallet" Inoo hurriedly snatches away his precious possession after noticing Ryutaro holding it. The pale guy immediately apologizes in embarrassment for his action.
"Inoo chan..." Ryutaro slowly muttered.
"What's the problem Morimoto kun?"
"You're piAInoo?!" The younger guy said in disbelief.
"Tako chan?"
