[#019] Damn You, KAT-TUN
I've been on this semi-hiatus for the past... ALMOST A WEEK. (damn it, so close.) But noooooo, a fancam of their 8 minute PV for Don't U Ever Stop came out and I had to work like hell to get that damn video to load. The first streaming video of it was such fail on my school computer. It took about 30 minutes to load twelve seconds. I was so pissed

Tegoshi and Ryo are outside the club waiting after Tegoshi gets his strength back and they have the woman in white captive, their destination the castle. Jin stares at the rest of the guys, Nakamaru, whose arm is wrapped in scraps of Taguchi's hood, looks at Jin questioningly. "What are you gonna do now?"
Jin tries hard not to swallow. When he'd first seen them, it'd been the question that had lingered in the back of his head. He'd left because of a stupid argument, a fact that he'd come to accept after the past couple of months, and nothing he could do would change the events of that afternoon. But he was back now, they were okay with him now. "I-" Jin starts.
"He's gonna run away to his perfect life," Koki says sardonically.
Jin supposes he should have expected that; Koki had been the angriest at Jin's leaving (and his return judging by the looks Koki had thrown at Jin the entire time). "If that's how you feel," Jin says, his words trailing at the end.
It takes a lot of strength for Jin to turn around, his eyes meeting Ueda's as he does for. He's not sure why he lets himself look vulnerable just for Ueda's sake, but for a split second, Jin can feel all the emotion bubble up inside him, and his eyes reveal the hurt. He's barely a few feet from the door when Koki snorts.
"Running away. That's what you're good at, isn't it, Akanishi?"
Jin spins around again, all sorts of emotion flying through him - his blood is boiling, his head is racing and his fingers twitch at the idea of just shaking Koki and telling him that he's off the mark, that he wishes Koki would get it right already. "You-" Jin hisses, eyes blazing. He can barely get the words together in his head, much less out his lips, before Nakamaru interrupts him.
"You are more stubborn than Jin could ever be," Nakamaru reprimands, wincing as he puts an arm over Koki's shoulders.
Koki shrugs Nakamaru's arms off, his eyes never having left Jin's. "Akanishi hasn't said anything, yet."
"Because I can't believe you're still stuck on that," Jin retorts. "It's been, how long?"
"Six months, six days," Koki says promptly.
Kame whistles a bit. "Kept count, did you?"
Koki looks marginally embarrassed at having been caught, but he gives a noise for Jin to continue.
"I told you then, and I'm telling you now. I never accepted the offer. I didn't want it and I still don't," Jin sighs. "Power is always something people seek out, but even I know that we take only what is meant for us."
Ueda snorts slightly. "Growth much?"
"It had to happen some time," Jin says dryly.
Taguchi grins, slinging an arm around Jin's shoulders. "Maa-maa. What's done is done. We should let bygones be bygones!"
"Ask Koki," Jin sighs, staring straight at Koki.
Koki steps forward, standing right in front of Jin and seems to be just gauging Jin's reaction. His hand is outstretched after a very long time, and he grudgingly says, "I still haven't forgiven you, but it hasn't been the same without you here."

"What happened to life with Yamapi and stuff?" Nakamaru asks, his arm back around Koki's shoulders.
Jin sighs. "I love Pi and it's reciprocated, but there are only so many plates I can break before he'll kick me out of the restaurant."
Snorting, Kame slips on his hat again which Ueda snatches off his head. "It's broken," Ueda snaps, moving to throw it behind him.
Kame hisses, grabbing it back. "It's fine!" he complains, putting it right back, leaving the part of the hat with the V cut in it at the front where all can see.
"It looks kinda cool?" Jin says to Ueda, as they start to move towards the doors.
"Why are you on his side?" Ueda snaps, glaring very slightly at Jin.
"Because if at least one person isn't, the crybaby may come out?"
Kame hits Jin on the shoulder which Jin takes with a laugh. When he walks outside of the club, Jin's a little surprised to find that Tegoshi, Ryo and their captive is nowhere to be found.
"They left me?!" Jin cries, looking around to catch a sight of the two.
The remaining five exchange looks before Nakamaru shakes his head. "Knowing Tegoshi, he probably figured that you'd be staying with us, not going back with them."
Jin frowns. "They could've at least told us bye."
"With Ryo? I doubt it," Ueda snorts.
Jin looks in the distance, hoping that that little speck in the distance were the friends he'd made. They'd been a strong part of his life when he'd been gone, and Jin was glad that they'd been around. Things may not have been the way they were now and Jin's grateful for all they'd done for him.
Epilogue:
Tegoshi smiles when he hands over the woman to the Princess' head of security. "It was a good mission for them." Ryo stands in the background, leaning against a wall and just watching the two with arms crossed.
"Never mind that. Are you okay?" the male asks, concerned. "Taking powers away and giving them is always so rough on you."
"I'm fine," Tegoshi says with a laugh. "You worry too much, Massu."
Massu sighs. "As long as you're sure. Do you know who that power's going to?"
Tegoshi grins brightly. "Yup! It was a shame he wasn't born with it, but he was definitely made for it. I think Yamapi's going to enjoy the power of wind."

But jskdha I am really amazed what you manage to come up with on the spot. Because freaking DUDE. I still think giving Yamapi powers had to have been planned or something. (one true pairing = one true power?) And I love that this pretty much means that RyoTego are in league with the rest of NewS. (Or, at least KoyaShigeMassu?) I forget, do Yamapi and Tego know each other? Or is this just Tego's omnipotence at work. Speaking of--I love how Tego's answer to Jin was "I don't." about picking and choosing. And all I'm flailing about is NewS in fantsy!KT fic. LMAO.
But I love how you dealt with Jin's uhm, magical suspension (happy domestic life with Pi?) I guess in this case. And the bitter underlying feelings. jsklda I know I'm not the greatest KT fan, but I feel like there SO MUCH in the whole hiatus/coming back and I was surprised that you chose Koki--
this comment is TBC okay. my parents just came which is why i left, so sorry about that too. ♥

Why were you surprised i chose koki? I don't know how canon i'm being, but i'm pretty sure koki was the most vocal about disapproving of Jin just up and leaving. I could be wrong on my kt canon, but ...i'm pretty sure? idk. if it's false, then i've screwed THAT up. or it'll just be my personal canon. lololol
i seriously didn't meant ot bring yamapi in with a power! it was a total random choice. and then i was like, eeeee totally works when i finally pinned down tegoshi's power.
Yamapi and tego do know each other. it's how jin got to know tego since tego had been a regular (as regular as a traveler can be) at yamapi's restaurant. So yeah. That's hwy yamapi knew exactly who to give the power to. And yes, ryotego do know koyashigemassu. but more so tego than ryo since ryo WAS an enemy in the first part of the thing, going against johnny. although i'm sure massu knew johnny's intentions as head of security.

as;dlkfjasdlfjas I was starting to question myself about this, but am i remembering wrong and koki wasn't the one that criticized Jin for leaving? or like, rather, i keep remembering him being the one was like, i don't agree with this move. or something like that. T.T I got paranoid that i got the wrong person.
