One of the scene here is the first out of the many hot, steamy scenes in this fic and man, I was so satisfied after writing it! LOL.
Get to know more about Yana here. Not much Jun but Nino here is amazing! Kyaaaaa~! XDDD Enough of my blabbing! Happy reading! :))
Oh, I'm sorry if there some glitches here and there in regards to grammar or spelling. (And sometimes, I write AKI instead of YANA. Gosh! I guess I'm still attached to Aki. lol)
CHAPTER ONE
“What? No kidding?!” Yana yells in in disbelief. Eri just relayed the good news that she’s appearing at this year’s Kouhaku Song Battle, a prestigious music show held every last day of the year where in only the most successful Jpop artist and Enka singers performs, strictly by invitation.
“No kidding, Yana. You got invited by the committee. We didn’t even expect it.” Eri replies.
“I can’t believe it! I’m actually going to perform.” Yana exclaims in astonishment.
“Another great opportunity came our way, adding another achievement in your account.” Eri says while patting Yana’s shoulders.
“The past year has been so surreal, right?” Yana looks back on how year 2009 has been big with regards to her career.
“Just because it’s you, Yana. You’re one heck of a talented person.” Eri is full of praises. Getting Izumi Yana in their camp is like hitting jackpot. Acting, singing, composing, modelling and even directing her own PV’s and concerts, she’s got it all.
“Of course I am! You’re lucky to have me, Eri-chan!” Yana smirks. With her talent already given, Yana’s personality is something other people raise their eyebrows about. Her outgoing and “my-pace” outlook gets easily mistaken by others as arrogant and egoistical, adding the fact that she leads a sociable lifestyle, the media and spectators alike can’t help but talk about how she lives her private life.
“Don’t be so full yourself, brat!” Eri calls her by that nickname, saying that its best describes her.
“Thanks Eri-chan, for sticking up with me in the past year. I know it’s hard to manage someone like me and yet you’re still there.” Yana gets serious all of a sudden. Behind the playful and mischievous façade, a sweet and caring Yana lies within, a side she barely show others unless she have proven they are worthy of that treatment.
“Don’t be so dramatic! It doesn’t suit you at all!” Eri exclaims as she pats Yana’s head.
It’s already three in the morning when Yana gets back into her apartment after spending the whole day in the studio writing new material for her upcoming album. Slumping her way into the bed, she picks up her phone from her hand bag and turns it on. She always leaves it off whenever she’s writing music as she doesn’t want any disturbance from her writing. A mail appears and it comes from her mother.
From: Mom
I’m back in Tokyo.
You’re probably busy now, ne?
Call me after your work is done.
Even if it ends in the morning, call me.
I’ve missed you, Yanachi!
She smiles after reading the message, her mother is away from home for almost two months and she misses her so badly. She immediately dials her number and waits for her to pick up.
“Yana-chan!!” Her mom picks up after the fifth ring.
“Mommy!” Yana replies, just as energetic. “If I knew earlier that you’re back I might have went straight to your place but I’m home now and I’m tired so I’ll just go to sleep there tomorrow, ne?”
“That’s fine, sweetie. Just go here tomorrow, I have a lot of stuff for you from Australia!”
Just like Yana, her mother, Takahashi Sayaka, also exudes the bubbly and laidback personality. Unknown from the public, Yana comes from a family of business empires. Her maternal grandparents are one of the top conglomerates in the country. Her mother, wanting to pursue her dream in music, is an orchestra conductor. Travelling all over the world is part of her job that’s why Yana has lived in many cities as a young girl. Her father is a Japanese businessman based in China, they rarely talk since her parents had a divorce when she’s six, he later remarries and she have two half-siblings.
“Mom, I don’t need those stuff, my closet is full of the clothes you’ve bought me on your travels.” Yana said. Sometimes, her mother forgets that she’s a grown adult who can go shopping by herself. She still insists on buying clothes, shoes and bags for her.
“Get rid of the old ones and give it away.” Her mother contends.
“Just give me imported chocolates and snacks, I’d appreciate it more.” Yana laughs.
“I have those for you too. I know that you’ll throw a fist if I didn’t buy you any.” Her mother laughs on the other line.
“Yatta!!” Yana rejoiced. “Anyways, Mom, I have good news for you.” She knows that she’ll make her mother proud with the Kouhaku news.
“What is that? Don’t tell me you have a serious boyfriend?” Her mother wonders. Yana never had a serious boyfriend ever, a fact known around to those people close to her. Her mother is looking forward to that day the she’ll introduced a boyfriend to her.
“No way, Mom!” Yana reacts. “I doubt that will happen soon. Actually, I doubt if that will ever happen.” She laughs. A serious relationship will never happen to her, she promised that to herself. She will never let her emotional stability gets involved in a serious commitment with a man. “It’s about my career. I got invited on Kouhaku!”
“That’s great news, Yana!” Her mother excitedly said. “You’re popularity is surging its way up, ne? I’m so proud!”
“I know you are, Mom!” Yana acknowledges. Even if her mother is always away from home, she is her number one fan.
“Do your best, ne? Kouhaku is in two weeks.”
“I will. I will make you even proud.” A smile appears on the side of Yana’s mouth.
---
The last day of the year has finally come and it means that Kouhaku is being held today. Inside one of NHK’s dressing rooms, Yana is all glam up for tonight. She’s wearing a white, flowy, chiffon tube dress, a sexy stiletto with bits of Swarovski crystals, her hair is down with curly ends and her make-up is simply done in a natural way, focusing on her already plump lips. She’s set to sing her self-composed song, Rainbow, a slow song accompanied solely by piano in which she will also play herself.
From: Shirota Yuu
See you later, Yanana.
I’ll be judging so do your best!
To: Shirota Yuu
Damn it, Yuu!
Don’t add to the pressure!
Grrrrrrrrr!
From: Shirota Yuu
No pressure, Yanana!
You can nail it! For sure!
To: Shirota Yuu
Waaaah! Thanks Yuu!
Ja, mata ne!
Let’s party after? *grins widely*
From: Shirota Yuu
Yesssss!! Everyone’s ready at LEX!
While in the dressing room waiting for the start of the show, Yana is having a mail exchange with one of her good friends, Shirota Yuu. Her friendship with him along with Johnny’s Entertainment boys, Akanishi Jin, Yamashita Tomohisa, Nishikido Ryo among others are renowned to the fans. In some Japanese blog sites, some female fans of the boys even made a poll in guessing which of the guys is she actually dating. Some even said she have dated all of them. Much to their speculation, she never dated anyone except for an on/off fling with Nishikido Ryo.
Her phone vibrates again, indicating a new mail received. She opened it expecting a mail from Yuu but surprisingly, it’s from a different person.
From: Park Yoochun
Are you done with preparations?
Let’s meet in dressing room 4F.
We still have an hour before the show starts.
She was shocked to see a message coming from this Tohoshinki member. For all she knows, he stopped communication with her three months ago. After her successful showcase in his country.
To: Park Yoochun
We are in talking terms now?
Unlike her on/off fling with Nishikido Ryo, her relationship with Park Yoochun is different. They met in the 2008 Tokyo Girl’s Collection, wherein she models and he performs. They are in a ‘no-commitment-just-pure-fun’ relationship for a year and a half. Until he told her those three words she dreaded to hear from anyone.
From: Park Yoochun
Past is past.
Let’s forget about it.
Come on Yana, time is running.
I know you want me.
Park Yoochun can read her so well. She wants him so much she’s even having sexual fantasies about him for the past three months. She can’t resist this man’s charm, a sweet talker, a real casanova, good looks and most importantly, amazing in bed. He’s the real definition of her ‘perfect partner’. That’s why they went as far as more than a year, she can’t seem to get enough of him. If going along by her principles, a special friendship with a guy only last for three months, after that, she would dump him and it’s over. No regrets, no looking back and on to the next target.
To: Park Yoochun.
Coming in a few minutes.
With Park Yoochun having excellent grades in her book, Yana gives him back the favor by doing well in his book too. Their eyes would just meet and it’s on, having sex inside a dressing room, inside the car and even in a small restroom cubicle once in between recording for Music Station. After all, she made him fall in love with her, not that she plans it to happen. It was going on so well until he unexpectedly brought her to Han River at 3 in the morning to say that he wants them to start a serious relationship, that he didn’t expect himself to fall in love with her. Yana was speechless, falling in love is a big no-no, she just strides off the highway and hailed a taxi without saying anything and they never talked again, until now.
She made an excuse for going to the restroom so that the staff wouldn’t suspect anything. Even if Yoochun has a negative point now for saying those words, it’s still inevitable that Yana is still lusting over him. She urgently went to the elevator to go up to 4F, fourth floor, room F. When the doors opens, she saw a familiar group of guys coming out of it, wearing hats and sunglasses, a typical disguise to any celebrities. She locked eyes with one of them and smiled.
“Ninomiya-san, hisashiburi desu.” Yana politely bows.
It’s the four members of Arashi.
“Eh? You remember?” Nino asks in awe, his three companions seem shocked too.
“I do. I’m sorry for such an embarrassing first meeting.” Yana shyly says. The three Arashi members namely, Sakurai Sho, Aiba Masaki and Ohno Satoshi are eyeing her with delight as they all left Nino alone to go to their dressing room.
“It’s quite unusual but at least it’s memorable, ne?” Nino smiled. He didn’t expect her to remember being introduced to him but luck is on his side.
“Still, I’m embarrassed for being so drunk and crazy that night.” Yana recalls. Whenever she gets drunk, she will always be in hyper mode until she wakes up the next morning remembering all the stuff she did the night before.
“I find it cute, though.” Nino flirts. A sober Izumi Yana is more attractive that the drunk one. “Although I wish you wouldn’t talk to me in English the next time I bump into you in private.” He adds with a playful tone in his voice.
Yana covers her face with her hand in embarrassment, Nino is amused at how she’s so prim and proper when she’s sober. “I tend to speak straight English when I’m drunk. I’m really sorry about that.” She bows politely to apologize.
“It’s okay, good thing you’re cute I let it pass.” Nino flirts again for the second time, making her cheeks blush this time.
Yana may not be a hard core Arashi fan but she knows that Ninomiya Kazunari is the lady killer of the group. Ryo even warns her of Nino’s ‘slick moves’ because he feels that he got the hots on her when they first met that night. Ninomiya-kun stares at you like he wants to remove your clothes and play in bed until the sunlight comes. She clearly remembers those words from Ryo, which made her feel all giggly inside.
“My expectation of you, Ninomiya-san, didn’t disappoint.” Yana says, looking straight into his eyes.
“Is it?” Nino is gaze is completely on her. Their stare is so hot it can melt anyone who comes in between. “And what is that expectation, Izumi-san?” He asks huskily.
“Blunt and straight to the point.” Yana answers, she felt her mobile phone vibrating again and their hot gaze is cut when she checks the mail. It was a booty call again from Yoochun.
From: Park Yoochun
What’s keeping you so long?
I want you now, Yana.
She smiles after reading that. She can’t blame him, three months is a long time. When she looks up, she saw Nino’s eyes studying her.
“Who is that? That person makes you smile like an idiot.” Nino points out. “You had a better reaction than when I said you’re cute.” He can’t help but sound hurt.
Yana is enjoying this moment, nothing can be better than two famous idols wanting her attention. “That person, I can’t say.” She smirks, making Nino purse his lips as he nods. “He’s waiting for me and I don’t want to make him mad. Would you mind if I go for now?” She says, eye locking again with him.
“I guess I lose to that person, huh?” Nino crosses his arms on his chest.
“If you want me, tell me.” Yana softly says, pressing the elevator button.
Nino surveys the corridor and it’s clear, he comes closer to her and whispers, “I want you.” His voice send shiver down her spine.
“Be patient and you’ll get your chance.” Yana replies, running a finger on his ear and placing a soft kiss on his cheek before entering the now opened empty elevator.
“Would that chance be coming soon?” Nino grabs her arm as he blocks the elevator doors from closing.
“It depends.” Yana says. “Prove to me you’re worth it.”
Proving it to her, Nino enters the elevator and press on the red button making it stop.
“What are you doing?” Yana asks, narrowing her eyes.
“Proving it to you now.” Nino grasps her waist to kiss her and she immediately kiss him back. Getting a go signal, he pulls out his tongue as they play with desire. He brushed his hand on her hair and the other one grabbing down her butt, giving it a small squeeze. She deepened her tongue inside his mouth as he moan in pleasure, feeling his bulge harden in her crotch. She let her hands play on his hair as their kiss is turning lustier with every second.
“You do know that we are in appearing in nationwide television in like an hour from now, Ninomiya-san?” Yana murmurs when the pull away from each other to breath.
“I’m aware of that.” Nino answers, pushing the red button and they felt the lift moving again. “I just want to prove it to you. Like you said, blunt and straight-forward, that’s me.” He gave her his ‘I’m-good-looking-guy’ salute as he head out of the elevator, leaving Izumi Yana speechless and in awe inside.

Meanwhile in the Arashi dressing room, Matsumoto Jun is the early bird arriving an hour ago and now, he’s all ready for their first Kouhaku appearance. The three members who just arrived are changing in their outfits.
“Why are you here so early, Matsujun?” Aiba asks, buttoning up his shirt.
“You shouldn’t ask me that question. I should be asking why are you this late? And where is Nino?” Jun asks in return.
“He met Izumi Yana in the elevator.” Ohno grins.
“I bet he’s flirting with her now.” Sho sniggers and Aiba joins him.
“If you weren’t early and if you joined us in the car coming here you might have seen her, Matsujun! She’s so pretty!” Aiba is getting enthusiastic, his eyes were lit up.
“I can look at her with all my might later when she performs, baka!” Jun replies not getting his fellow members for being all excited with their sudden meeting.
“You wouldn’t see her up-close though.” Ohno pointed out.
“I can if I want to.” Jun states with confidence. The three all stop to look at him.
“I saw her name in the dressing room next to us, I can knock after the show and say Otsukare to her.” Jun mocks the three.
“Can you do it?” Sho asks, he’s thinking of a good plan using this sudden confidence of Jun.
“I can.” Jun immediately replies with assurance in his voice.
“Do it later then.” Ohno challenges, as if reading Sho’s mind.
“Deal!” Jun agrees. He doesn’t know what’s urging him to do this bet, he wasn’t attracted to her like Nino and he never imagined himself asking her out but he wanted to prove to these guys that he can charm his way on the famous Izumi Yana.
Another edit: I'm a BIG fan of Jin Akanishi and I'm very fascinated with his group of friends that's why Akanishi Troop is a big part of this fic.
About Yoochun, well, to tell you honestly, I'm done with the whole KPOP thing but my love for DBSK forever remains. Why did I put him here? Let's just say it speaks of how pretty, attractive and popular Yana is when with men. Haha!
