Sugoi II~ Part 1
Part One: Something’s broken
Sho looked at his cell phone once more and threw it against the wall. He couldn’t believe that this was happening. He then picked up his clock and threw that as well and soon he was throwing things all over his bed room not satisfied. When he was done destroying his room he sighed and sank on to the floor.
‘It wasn’t even a full year and it’s over…’ he sighed looking at the cracked and broken picture of him and Shizuko last year. After his birthday last year things were going great he was in a new relationship, and it just sort of happened.

color:red">“Sakurai-san.”
color:red">Sho was looking at a paper when a woman approached him. “Hai?”
color:red">“Ano, I’m Tanaka-san Hijimemashite.” Shizuko then looked at the paper widened, “ah, I was wondering when you were done if I could read that?”
color:red">Sho inclined his head, before looking stunned, “um.” He nodded.
~*~
It wasn’t anything but a paper but it started their relationship and soon they were a couple before he even knew what was going on, and what killed him is he still had feelings for Noriko. He got up from his wrecked room and went into his sitting room plopping down on his couch he looked at the ceiling.
‘I never imagined this would happen…we already had a rocky relationship after my birthday…could she have read Noriko’s letter?’ Sho turned to his side. ‘Impossible I always keep it in a hidden place.’
He looked at his laptop that was on the table beside him, ‘I just had to break my phone…’
~*~
Noriko was up late again, she was supposed to have been to bed an hour ago but she was too busy playing online dating sim games. She was still trying to unlock some extra hidden ending when her phone when off.
“Kuso, I was so close…Ryuu you’ll be mine.” She murmured at the laptop before answering her phone. “Moshi Moshi Noriko desu.”
“What are you still doing up?!” a deep voice asked making her smile.
“I was...” she paused to give a fake yawn. “Just getting water…”
“Liar.”
“I’m sorry I’ll go to bed now okay.” Noriko said saving her game and turning off her laptop. “I promise.”
“You better. I don’t want you too sleepy for tomorrow.”
“I’ll be up and if I’m not you can keep me up.” Noriko said grinning knowing they couldn’t see it.
There was a chuckle before a sigh, “Go to bed Iko-chan.”
“Hai, Shin-kun.” She said softly closing her phone and smiling in the darkness of her room.
It was a new year and as she closed her eyes she thought back to around this time, and she thought back to him. ‘His birthday’s coming up soon…’ she thought closing her eyes and turning to her side, “I wonder how things with Shizuko-chan are.”
She shook her head and really tried to go to sleep.
~*~
Sho woke up from sleeping on the couch and rubbed his face, “Kuso…” he said harshly as he got up and went into his destroyed room. He remembered throwing his phone and hoped to god it wasn’t as broken as he thought. Carefully looking through the remains of his room he saw the broken phone and sighed.
“No one can get a hold of me…Kuso!” he yelled again he knew he was going to get chowed out by his manager because of this. He heard a knock at his door and looked at his clock it was still 5 am so it couldn’t have been that long ago he fell asleep.
Stumbling over his beaten room he went to the door, and wrenched it open.
“Wow…you look like…”
“Shit.” Sho supplied rubbing his face, “I feel like it.”
“Actually I was going to say you look sleepy.” The man said looking him over, “Demo the word you used works too.”
“Come in Jun.” Sho said opening the door. Jun stepped inside the apartment and saw the opened door of his bed room and frowned. “Sho-chan…”
“It’s nothing.” He said crossing the room and closing the door. “I’m not ready to go yet.”
“You should be, we have to meet for…” he shook his head, “What’s up?”
“Nothing I can worry about right now.” Sho said going back into his room. Jun heard draws slamming closed and Sho walked out of his room with a wad of clothes. He walked down the hall to his bathroom and shut the door.
Jun sighed and pulled out his phone, first he texted Rin and then he called Ohno.
“Oh-chan, Sho-chan and I will be running a bit late.” Jun sighed, “I don’t know demo something’s up with him.” He folded his arm and nodded, “I’ll see…um. ja.” He flipped his phone closed and he heard the shower running. Walking over to the room and looked in and his face transformed from calm and collected to worried, he took his phone out once more and took a picture of the wreckage before closing the door back slowly and sitting on Sho’s couch.
‘I don’t know what happened, demo it’s something big.’ He thought with a stoned expression.
~*~
Noriko put on her candy stripped uniform and smiled. “It was nice of Yori to recommend us for candy stripes.”
“It’s not a job demo at least we get to help people…ne Nori-chan?” Rin said grinning at her.
Noriko blushed, and didn’t say anything.
“So how is Tora-san does he still need his helper?” Rin pushed making Noriko grin.
“Guys come on.” Yori popped in looking at the two they both stared at her in her scrubs. “Nani?”
“Sugoi…” Rin said staring.
“Hontou Sugoi…” Noriko said staring at Yori, “Sempai…”
Yori rolled her eyes, “Urusai.” She then turned and walked away while Noriko and Rin giggled behind her back. They both heard Rin’s phone go off before she turned it to vibrate.
“Who was it?”
“Jun-chan.” Rin said smiling. She then looked at the text when another one followed and Noriko saw her facial expression go from happy to somber in a matter of moments.
“Rin…”
“Iie.” Rin said shaking her head, “Later.” Rin then put on a sad smile and they parted ways to do their rounds.
She frowned but nodded she knew whatever it was had to be bad if Rin was acting seriously.
Noriko worked diligently trying to put away her feeling about the text and Rin’s behavior and before she knew it she was done and rubbing her feet.
“I could never be a nurse.” Noriko said moaning. “It’s too much foot work.”
“Yori told you to wear comfortable shoes.” Rin said nodding.
“I know I know…” Noriko said sighing, “So what was that text about earlier?”
“Yoko…”
“Rin-chan, Nori-chan!” Yori caught up to them, “Mizumi and Akira want to hang out tonight…I have something else…
“Yori Sempai please report to Surgery…”
They all heard and Yori sighed, “Later.” She rushed off and Noriko and Rin watched her go.
“Yori-chan hontou kakkoii desu ne?” Rin asked looking at Noriko who nodded. “Zutto kakkoii desu yo.” Noriko said smiling like an idiot.
Before Noriko could ask about the text message again she put her arm around Noriko’s neck and grinned slyly. “Nori-chan, tell me about Tora-san are you guys meeting up soon?”
Noriko sighed and blushed, “We were supposed to meet after I was done here…demo…”
“Invite him to Mizumi’s I’m sure the girls won’t mind.” Rin said, “Actually I think the guys will be there too.”
“Hontou?” Noriko asked unsurely, “Text Mizumi and ask I don’t want to impose…”
“Fine Fine.” Rin pulled out her phone and typed a few things after she sent it another text came back instantly. “Mizumi doesn’t mind, the guys will be over later.”
“Okay!” Noriko said happily pulling out her phone and texting away.
Rin looked at her and felt like sighing, ‘Sho please be over Noriko…please.’ She thought as they walked to the train station.
~*~
Jun watched Sho as he joked around and smiled with the guys when the meeting was over. He knew Sho was keeping his feelings away from everyone and he couldn’t get the image of the destroyed room off of his mind.
“Um, mina-san we’re going to meet up over Mizu-chan’s house for a while to relax.” Ohno said, “Is that alright?”
“Hai!” Aiba said smiling, “I already know that Yori’s busy at work…” he sighed happily, “She works too hard.”
“She wears the pants too.” Nino murmured making Sho smirk.
“She only wore my pants once.” Aiba said making the guys laugh.
“So, yeah? Mizu-chan’s?” Ohno asked and they all nodded. “Alright let’s head over there now.”
“Ah, can’t wait to see Mizumi-chan can you?” Nino asked as Ohno stood up. Ohno smiled, “Iie.”
“Um…I’m honestly Jealous.” Nino said pouting and Aiba put his hands on Nino’s shoulders.
“Don’t be you know Oh-chan can’t live without you.” Aiba grinned happily.
Jun pulled Sho aside while the others were joking around. “Sho…I saw your room are you alright?”
Sho paused for a while, “Hai, I’m fine.”
Jun gave him a stern look and shook his head, “Stop lying, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Sho swallowed and Jun knew something bad happened. “Was it Shizuko?”
“I don’t want to talk about it alright?” he said pushing past Jun and put on a smile for the rest of the guys. ‘Damn it Sho.’ Jun thought in frustration before walking with the other guys.
~*~
“…Ne!” Akira said nudging Noriko who was blushing.
“It wasn’t like that!” Noriko said laughing, “we totally met by accident and I don’t have charm.”
“Liar.” Mizumi said laughing.
“Not you too Mizumi.” Noriko said pouting.
“It’s true! You were all over him Noriko we even had to double back on our rounds so YOU could get a better look at him.” Rin supplied, “Stop being in denial you were in awe of his beauty.”
“Whatever.” Noriko blushed and looked away.
“Denial!” Akira said wrapping her arms around her, “Demo, Daisuki desu riko-chaaan.”
Noriko pouted and pushed Akira away, “iie!”
There was a knock at the door and Mizumi got off her couch and smiled, “Hello Satoshi.” Mizumi said beaming and he walked into the apartment and smiling. He then pulled her into a slow kiss making Mizumi pull away blushing. “Satoshi…!” She said hitting him light.
“Gomen.” He said looking around smiling, “I forgot myself.”
“It’s alright.” Noriko and Akira said at the same time looking at them both.
“What a kiss.” Noriko whispered to Akira who nodded.
“Mizumi’s so lucky.” Akira said back and they both looked at each other and grinned.
“Hey guys.” Mizumi said showing the rest of them in trying to hide the blush that was still on her cheeks. When Sho walked in Noriko got off the couch and Rin and Akira both watched her and she looked at them.
“Nani?” she asked, shaking their heads they said nothing.
Noriko then walked over to Sho who was looking at her when a small smile crossed his face. She hugged him tightly.
“How are you?”
Sho looked down, but he still smiled, “I could be better.”
Noriko frowned, and moved in a bit. “Do you want to talk about it?” she whispered catching his eye. Sho looked into her eyes and swallowed hard. Noriko stared at him for a long while and felt the feelings she locked away try to break free so she stepped back and smiled up at him. “Or not…it’s your choice.”
He took her hand, “Noriko…” he then shook his head, “Iie it’s fine.”
Akira cleared her throat loudly and Noriko and Sho both stared at her.
“Oh good you guys remembered there were others in the room.” She said giving them a pointed look. Noriko sighed and she looked down and blushed while Sho dropped her hand.
“Later.” He said looking at her. To which she nodded and went to sit next to Akira who was looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
“I’m bored…” Nino groaned and Akira pinched him on the arm making him smirk at her and lean over to whisper something in her ear that made her hit him and mouth ‘later’ to him.
“How about we play a game?” Mizumi asked, “Apples to Apples?”
“Oh yeah! My game!” Noriko said moving down to the floor, “Everyone’s going DOWN!”
“In your dreams.” Nino said getting his determined face on.
“Oh here we go.” Rin said rolling her eyes. She then went to sit down when Jun pulled her on his lap.
“No! That’s cheating!” Aiba said making Rin pout and move to the floor next to Jun.
Akira sat down next to Nino, “Don’t mind Aiba-chan, Rin. He’s just lonely.” She said and Aiba grinned at her.
“Yori will be here later.” Aiba said grinning, “and I can’t wait.”
~*~
“Nani?! You pick that card?” Noriko yelled, “Marshmallows are not risky!”
“How do you know?” Nino asked looking at the red card in his hand and giving her a look.
“Because they’re MARSHMELLOWS!” Noriko grounded out, “They have no risk.”
“One if they were in hot chocolate, it’s possible they could burn your mouth. And that’s risky.” Nino said calmly.
The group watched Nino and Noriko bicker back and forth. Mizumi watched the two with a weary expression. “I knew he’d do something like that, the brat.” She said softly. “Sho, grab Noriko if it looks like she’s gonna pounce.”
Sho nodded and grabbed Noriko around the middle at that moment cause she lunged at Nino.
“Noriko he’s just trying to mess with you.” Sho said.
“Nice Nino, you can’t stop messing with her for one moment.” Jun said with his arms around Rin who was grinning up at him.
“It was because it was Aiba’s card.” Akira said throwing down her cards. “I’m going to the rest room.”
There was a knock at the door and Aiba perked up, “Maybe it’s Yori.”
Noriko calmed down and Sho still had his arms around her and it made her blush, “Ano…Sho…you can let go.”
“Oh right.” He smiled.
“Noriko….” Mizumi called and everyone turned to see who was next to her.
“Shinji.” Noriko said moving away from Sho and walking over to the man next to Mizumi. Sho frowned and Jun and Rin both stood up.
Noriko walked closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her not saying anything.
“Did you make it here alright?” She asked in a small voice. “We were just playing a game.”
He nodded and looked down at her still not saying a word, the man was dressed in black clothing and his black hair was wavy and hiding his dark eyes. Noriko couldn’t help but stare at him. He was beautiful in his own way.
“Noriko…” Rin said looking around them and Noriko blushed, “Oh right.”
“Shinji, these are my friends…” Noriko said timidly, “You should remember Rin.” She said softly and Rin smiled, “Next to her is her boyfriend Matsumoto Jun.” Jun nodded as did Shinji. “Across from him on the floor is Aiba Masaki.” Aiba smiled and Shinji nodded once more. “The couple next to Aiba is Ninomiya Kazunari and Miyazawa Akira.” Noriko added when Akira sat down next to Nino.
She then looked over at Ohno who was sitting on the couch, “That’s Ohno Satoshi, and the woman that let you in was Akimoto Mizumi…” Noriko paused and looked at Sho. She then looked up at Shinji and smiled, “That man right there standing near Rin and Jun is Sakurai Sho.”
Sho stood silent as he watched then and Noriko breathed out before looking at Shinji.
“Mina-san, this is Amano Shinji.” She said grabbing his hand, “He’s my boyfriend.”
He let a ghost of a smile form on his lips before inclining his head, “Tora will be fine, Hijimemashite mina-san, dozo yokoshiku.” He said in a deep voice.
Sho felt something inside him break as he watched Noriko smile next to the mysterious man.
