Chapter 6: Member-ai
While Ryo was suffering from nightmares, News was attending a live broadcast with five members.
“Today our guests are popular boy band News…” announced the host. The audience screamed excitedly. “… we have only five members with us in the studio today…”
News members smiled and waved when the camera focused on them.
“… because one of them was injured.” The host turned to the official leader of News expectantly.
“Yes.” Yamapi confirmed. “Ryo-chan… Nishikido Ryo is injured and now resting at home. But he is much better and will be back to work soon. We are sorry to have caused this distress to fans.”
All News members bowed slightly to the audience.
“We hope he will get better.” said the host. The audience agreed.
“Yes, we do so too.” Koyama smiled.
“So how does this effect you? As a whole group I mean; it must be hard.”
Shige frowned and nodded his head.
“Yes, it is a bit difficult without Ryo-chan.” Answered Koyama. “After all, we are a six-member group. We have many things to do together. But we are okay for now. Even it is hard it’s not a problem at all. We all just wish Ryo-chan to gain his health quickly.”
Massu nodded.
“It’s really hard I guess.” The host turned to the audience. “Working hard when Nishikido-kun is resting at home… you probably want him to heal up soon.” He obviously was trying to make a joke.
“Yes.” Shige agreed. But Yamapi cut his words.
“It’s not easy for Ryo-chan either. He is trying his best to recover.” He said calmly. He was feeling protective suddenly. It didn’t matter if the host wanted to ease the atmosphere.
“Of course, of course. I am sure he does.” The host smiled. “But I don’t think anyone can compare resting in a bed with working hard to fill an absent members place.”
Yamapi got tense. He couldn’t help but stare at the host. Koyama put his hand on Yamapi’s arm to calm him down.
“Ryo-chan is facing different difficulties.” Tegoshi answered, forcing himself to smile. “He really loves his work, so he is trying to get better quickly.” A little lie wouldn’t hurt anyone. Besides if Ryo hadn’t got amnesia these words would be true. “You seem to care a lot about Ryo-chan.” He teased. “What about learning what is News doing recently?”
“Yeesss!” The audience yelled.
With this, the topic changed to News and Yamapi relaxed. Though the storm was just delayed.
Once they were on their van on their way back Yamapi felt he couldn’t hold his tongue much longer.
Checking outside, “It’s getting hotter.” Shige said. It was a sunny day.
Yamapi turned his eyes to Shige.
“Well summer is coming.” answered Koyama absentmindedly. He didn’t bother to raise his head from the magazine he was reading.
“Shige.” Yamapi started. His voice was calm and deep.
“Yes?” Shige seemed cheerful.
“Why did you say that it was hard?”
“Huh?” Shige looked confused. He couldn’t understand what Yamapi was talking about. Koyama lowered the magazine and looked at them.
“Is it too much for you?” Yamapi tried to sound calm. Massu glanced at them and to Koyama, asking with his eyes what was going on. But Koyama was too focused on his best friend and band leader to acknowledge Massu.
“What are you talking about Yamashita-kun?” Shige asked curiously. He knew that Yamapi wasn’t the type to get easily angry. Something must have happened. But what, he had no idea.
“I am talking about Ryo!” Yamapi was now glaring at the younger man.
Koyama bit his lips.
“What about him?” Shige had a hard time following Yamapi.
“Do you think that Ryo is resting peacefully while we are working our asses of?!”
“Eh?” Shige’s eyes widened.
“Yamapi…” Koyama tried to interrupt.
“Stay out of it Koyama. I am talking with Shige, not you.” Yamapi still had that eerily calm voice.
Tegoshi unplugged one of the headphones to see, actually hear what was going on.
“Yamashita-kun I didn’t…”
“You did.”
Shige sighed heavily. “So what?”
Massu’s eyes widened. This is definitely not going to end well.
“So what?” Shige repeated. “Yes, he is injured, yes he has to rest. But telling that he is only resting while we are all trying hard to cover up is not a wrong thing!”
“Oh yeah! So, you prefer us to drag you to work when something like this happens to you?”
“I didn’t say that, okay!”
“Shige… Yamapi…”
“Stay out of it Koyama!”
Tegoshi frowned at the sight.
“Yamashita-kun, Shige-“
“Massu, you too, stay out of it.” Yamapi didn’t bother to turn his head. His gaze was still locked on Shige. “What do you suggest Kato-kun?”
Shige frowned. “I suggest that we should find a nurse or something, who could watch over him and make sure he gets better-“
“So, you won’t do any more extra works.” Yamapi completed for him.
“Yea! We are idols not babysitters!”
“Oh really? Nobody is pushing you to help Ryo! We didn’t ask you to watch over him. You can continue to do your own job only.”
The silent News members turned to Shige, wondering what kind of comeback he was going to make.
“I will, since no one is asking me anything else.”
“What do you mean?” Koyama asked.
“Nothing okay!”
“Shige-“
“Besides how do you know he is not faking it?”
An audible gasp filled the van as all members stared as Shige, incredulous.
Yamapi’s eyes widened. Tegoshi and Massu came closer in case they had to hold their leader. But Yamapi didn’t attack Shige.
“You don’t believe it?” Their leader folded his arms and continued with a calm voice. “Fine, go see it yourself. I am not going to waste my time explaining the situation to you. Turn the van towards Nishikido’s place.” The last bit, he directed to the driver.
Silence fell in the van, no one made eye contact. Instead they watched the buildings pass by and try to understand what the center of the problem was. No one talked until they entered Ryo’s building.
Ryo’s flat was dead silent.
Yamapi opened the door with his spare keys to see Ohkura lying on the couch, sleeping.
“Don’t make a noise and disturb him.” whispered Yamapi, his index finger on his lips.
Massu and Tegoshi nodded, Shige just followed. Koyama closed the door behind them as he was the last to enter. They tiptoed through the living room and entered to find Ryo wrestling with the bed sheets and moaning.
Everyone turned to Yamapi, as if to ask what now. Yamapi himself was unsure. Was it okay to wake someone up from a nightmare, especially if this someone was afraid of them as well?
Ryo opened his eyes with a low cry, saving Yamapi from his dilemma.
What was the dream, Ryo couldn’t remember. Only the feeling remained. He swallowed down to wet his throat and let out a sigh-
The presence of others suddenly pressed on to him. He knew, he was not alone and was watched. He turned to see creepy guy number one- sissy, the guy with single eyelids, that pumpkin head (couldn’t he get a better haircut; wasn’t he supposed to be an idol), that baby faced kid (he was probably still a kid), and a new guy.
Seeing all of them in his room after just waking up from a nightmare scared the shit out of him but he tried to stay still. The only hint he gave away was gripping the sheets. He wasn’t aware of it but Yamapi didn’t miss it.
To hide the fact that he was scared Ryo examined the new guy; an ordinary face with piercing eyes. He didn’t trust his voice though, so he stayed silent.
Shige broke the awkward silence. “Nishikido-kun?” his voice was thick and hoarse.
Ryo just watched him. He didn’t bother to answer. His eyes were deep like a void. Shige shuddered internally.
“Is it true-“
“Yes, I don’t remember you.” answered Ryo. He wasn’t in the mood for another reunion. He made a show of yawning. “Who are you? I think they introduced me to all the members.”
Shige stared at Ryo as if trying to read his mind. “This doesn’t seem real. No, definitely not. Are you really sure he is not faking it?” Shige narrowed his eyes.
Okay now Ryo was angry. This new guy might be on top of his list of most unwanted. Even those creepy guys didn’t annoy him like this. “Who the hell are you?”
“This is Kato Shigeaki, a member of News.” Said Koyama quickly. He noticed that Ryo was getting angrier by every second.
“Kato Shigeaki.” copied Ryo. “So now I know your name you can get out. I need to sleep!”
“No, I am not getting out. I want to be sure.” Shige crossed his arms. Massu frowned at him from behind but didn’t say anything. Tegoshi chewed his lips.
“Of what?” asked an annoyed Ryo.
“Amnesia.” Shige stepped forward, causing Ryo to back away slightly.
Yamapi lowered his body and sat on the floor. This was going to take some time. Ryo could chew Shige’s ass if he wanted to. He wasn’t going to intervene.
“Be my guest.” Ryo said with a crooked smile.
Tegoshi sat next to Yamapi.
Now encouraged by Ryo’s demeanour, Shige stepped much closer to the bed. But to his surprise, Ryo shrank in the bed. He looked determined but Shige could see his lips quiver.
Koyama caught Shige by his arm. “You shouldn’t go near him.”
“Why? Is he going to bite me?” Shige shrugged him of.
“No, he is just… err…” Koyama glanced to Ryo who was frowning.
“It doesn’t matter. Just shut up and watch, Kei-chan, okay?” Shige stopped at the side of the bed and stared down at Ryo. From this angle, the other really didn’t look that much older than him.
“Tell me Nishikido… two plus two?”
“Eh?” Ryo frowned in confusion. “What? What is this?”
“Answer please.” Shige stood tall.
“… well… four. This is stupid.”
“What colour is my eyes?” Shige ignored Ryo’s statement.
“Hmm… brown.”
“Who do you hate the most in this room?”
Ryo rolled his eyes. This was really stupid. “It’s either you or him.” He pointed at Yamapi. Shige turned to see Yamapi’s reaction. Their leader just shrugged it off.
“What is your ranger colour?”
“Ran-… what?” Ryo looked at the others to get a hint of what Shige was talking about. As expected, none of them helped him, they just stared back. Ryo frowned and checked the room. What the hell was ranger colour? His eyes fell on a lanyard that was dangling from his closet. It had bright yellow stripes, even the card dangling by the end was yellow.
“Ah, I know. I know it is yellow.” Ryo smiled like he won the jackpot.
Tegoshi’s eyes widened. Shige was also taken aback; he looked back to see if anyone helped Ryo. His eyes darted around the room.
Yamapi was about to say something when Shige finally decided to continue. “Okay, do you know your bands names?”
Ryo frowned again, this time not because of anger, because he was thinking. “I do. One is… Kansai eight. And the other… nyu… nyusu…”
Tegoshi and Yamapi shared a look.
“What smell do you hate the most?”
“… hospital. Medicine.”
“Oh really? Then why don’t you take a shower?”
Ryo griped the sheets again. “Why do you care, I just don’t want to.”
“What’s going on?” Ohkura peeked in while scratching his head, his eyes were squished due to the bright light. “Wha….” He let out a long yawn. “What are you all doing here?”
Massu shrugged. “Just checking on Nishikido-kun.”
“It sounds more like an interrogation to me.” Ohkura yawned again.
“It was actually.” Ryo said glaring back at Shige.
“Why?” Ohkura leaned on the wall and closed his eyes. “Why would they do that?”
“Because I am faking amnesia.”
“Hmm…” Ohkura’s head fell, Ryo couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Really? Faking amnesia? Ryo-chan you are very smart then, convincing the doctors is not an easy task.”
“Eh…” Massu looked at the tall guy. “You are okay with it?”
Ohkura’s eyes popped open. “No. I think you have trust issues.” Ohkura pointed towards the News members. Then he leaned his head back on the wall again.
“Funny, coming from you.” Ryo mumbled. He raised his voice, “Are you sleepwalking?”
“Mmm…” Ohkura opened his eyes by force. “Ryo-chan are you hungry? Its nearly your medicine time.”
Ryo raised his eyebrows at the change of conversation.
Koyama took the hint. “Maybe we should go?” he said, turning to the News members.
“Oh you should definitely.”
“Shige?”
“Yes, lets go. We had something else in a few hours, right?”
Yamapi glanced down at his watch. “Yeah, we better get going.”
To Ryo’s surprise they all left without another word. He was left sitting on the bed, completely confused. “What kind of idiots are they?”
“Mmm? They are your band mates and friends. You like being with them.” Ohkura answered sleepily.
“Yea right, I forgot I was a freak… Weren’t you going to prepare something for me?”
Ohkura rolled his eyes. “Freak wants food…”
Downstairs, at the parking lot, News members gathered around Shige.
“So,” began Yamapi, staring right in to Shige’s eyes. “Do you still think he is faking it?”
Shige let out a heavy sigh. “No, I don’t.”
Everyone was surprised to hear that.
“What about the ranger colour thing?”
“Oh that? He found something yellow in the room and copied that. A lucky guess. If he actually knew his colour he would fake it and say another colour, don’t you think?”
“Cool.” Koyama commented.
“And?” Yamapi crossed his arms.
“Okay. I am sorry.” Shige looked away.
“Somethings fishy…” Koyama mumbled.
“What?” Massu looked at him.
“Ah nothing.” Koyama smiled widely. “Let’s get to work!”
A.N: As always, I am trying to be realistic. I am not sure if I succeed. It’s kind of short (actually very short for me). I hope you won’t be disappointed. But even if you are, don’t hesitate to say it. Of course comments are lovely. Please tell me your opinions, even if they are bad (no, I am not taking my story as an hostage if you don’t comment, don’t worry :D)…
Next chapter might not be here in a while. Many things are going on :/ I am so happy that I managed to write and post this one (It took me to hours to post). But I can say, I want to write more and more.
