Part One
"Starting today, your name will be Keiichiro."
Keiichiro
I don't remember when Okaasan started acting so cold towards me. I could still remember those days when she adored me and spoiled me with her smiles and hugs. Then suddenly, something disappeared and all I could get from her for the past ten years were her fake, warmth-less smiles and false affections. It was not like she couldn't love anymore because I still see those true smiles from her directed to Oniichan. Only towards Oniichan though. Not even Otousan can get a proper smile from her.
Otousan didn't like me at first. Again, it was only Oniichan who got his affections. Maybe it's because I'm an adopted child. Blood relations really do make a difference, don't they? Whatever I did, Otousan would just reply to me passively. Unlike Okaasan who used to shower me with compliments. I don't know what happened…but after Okaasan started to neglect me, as if to make for the loss, Otousan suddenly became warmer towards me. Not like how Okaasan spoiled me, but definitely better than before. Even Tsuyoshi-san commented on how he acted more like a true father when he began to change. He used to always make sarcastic comments towards Otousan about being a true father. I think he got his sarcastic skills from Koichi-san.
Those sarcastic skills affected Oniichan greatly. Or maybe Oniichan was just born that way. He is very straight-forward sometimes...to the point that it hurts. Oniichan would always make fun my single-lidded eyes, asking me all the time how could I see with my small eyes. But I know Oniichan likes to show that he cares that way. After all, there were plenty of times when he would hug me in comfort after Okaasan has done something really hurtful. He just can't show his affections normally like other people. Perhaps that is why I appreciate Oniichan's hurtful, yet caring comments all the time. Because of Okaasan's fakeness. Because of how Okaasan would act like she cares, when she really doesn't.
That was the family I grew up in.
Sometimes, I can't help but wonder how I managed to survive under Okaasan's cold gaze. It really really hurts sometimes. Especially when she takes out the album full of Yuki-niichan's photos, flips through it with tears in her eyes then directs her gaze towards me with something hateful in them.
Tsuyoshi-san and Koichi-san told me about it. How Yuki-niichan was found dead at the shore of the local lake when he just four years-old, a few months before I was adopted. That he was murdered. That Okaasan had to stay in the hospital for sometime because she missed Yuki-niichan too much.
How am I related to Yuki-niichan's incident though? If Okaasan didn’t like me taking Yuki-niichan's place, she could have not adopted me at all. She didn't have to spoil me for the first nine years of my life.
Why does Okaasan hate me?
I want to find the truth sometimes. To search up those old articles and perhaps find out anything that would relate me, who was only a few months old at the time, to the incident.
At the same time, I'm too scared to find out.
I do not want to lose my family. The family which has gave me shelter, good and paid for my school fees. The family I'm grateful towards. I have yet to repay them yet.
I do not want to lose them.
"Kei!"
My smile immediately brightened when I saw Shige and Kusano running towards me, waving their hands. I waved back excitedly. The moment they stopped in front of me, I started talking, "How was your vacations? I missed you guys! Let's go out tonight? And Shige! Did you study? I just know I'm going to fail that language test we're getting," I moaned into my hands.
I looked up from my hands when I heard choked laughter, to find Shige and Kusano trying to hold back their amusement, tears in their eyes. Pouting, I said, "What's so funny?"
Shige wiped a tear from the corner of his eyes playfully before saying, "Nothing, Kei. As for your questions...it was good, I'll tell you more about it later, and I missed you too, sure, yes, I studied, and I'm sure you'll do fine on the test. We did review the kanji together, or did you forget all of it already?" He ruffled my hair in affection, which I flattened it back quickly.
"Shige! How many times have I told you not to mess up my hair? I'm older than you!"
He snorted. "By a few months."
Kusano was probably tired of being ignored, so he started flailing his arms, pushing Shige away from me. "Shige! Stop hogging Kei-chan! Those questions were directed to me too! Hokkaido was freezing cold, Kei, but pretty! I'll show you pictures! And I missed you too!" Here, he threw his arms around me. "And I'm free too so let's all go eat okonomiyaki tonight! Oh, and I have faith in you, Kei-chan! You will pass that test!"
"Eh? Why okonomiyaki?" I asked as I tried to untangle myself from Kusano, though I couldn't help but smile. "Why not ramen?"
"Because we need to eat something special as part of our reuni..." Kusano made a weird face, so I knew Shige most likely pinched him or something. "I mean...Kei-chan's ramen is special too but we always eat it..." He probably got pinched again. Or maybe punched this time. "Uh...I mean..."
Laughing, I gave Kusano a quick hug. "It's okay, Notti. We'll go eat okonomiyaki tonight then."
"Kei-chan, you're the best!"
With that, the three of us walked nosily with a slight skip in our steps towards our classrooms. We were chatting happily in the hallways when a passing whisper made the smile freeze on my face and stumble in my steps.
"Slut."
No matter how many times I hear it, it still hurts.
Before I realized it, Shige and Kusano had already pulled me into a hidden corner of the school. "Those people need to learn how to use their vocabulary properly. That word only works for women," said Shige.
Kusano snorted. "And Kei-chan is definitely not like that."
I gave them a smile. "I'm fine, Shige, Notti." But my smile must have been really ugly because Kusano gave me his second hug of the day and Shige's grip on my hands just got tighter. "Ne..."
"They're just jealous," Shige said, cutting off my response. "They're just jealous of Nisihikido-kun being so nice to you and so mean to them. Not that they don't deserve it. They're horrible selfish people." I frowned when I heard that. I didn't like hearing Shige insulting other people when he wasn't the type to do so at all.
"Yea!" Kusano nodded his head in agreement. "If there's anyone you should blame, you should blame Ryo for being so blunt about his feelings. It's not Kei-chan's fault that Ryo likes you."
"But Oniichan teases me about my eyes all the time. And he doesn't act brotherly in front of other people, why would people think that Oniichan is biased towards me?"
Shige hit me on the head. "Who would insult someone about their single-lidded eyes with a smile on his face honestly? It's obvious that Nishikido-kun cares about you."
"Those stupid girls are just jealous you can see Ryo's so-called sexiness every single day," said Kusano as he grinned.
I couldn't help but snicker at that. Oniichan was extremely proud of himself, being the self-proclaimed Sexy Osaka Man. He was also very proud of his own Kansai accent, which for some reason I never developed despite the fact that I grew up in Osaka like Oniichan.
"Ha! Kei-chan smiled! Shige, you owe me money!"
"Eh? You guys betted on me?"
Kusano stuck his tongue out. "I just wanted to see which of us could make you smile when you were down the next time around. Because we love Kei-chan's smile! Ne, Shige?"
Shige just smiled in response, which makes me wonder how old Shige really is. Because he always seem to act like an adult and I always feel like a child in front of him. He even feels older than Oniichan, who is two years older than us. Which is just weird.
"Okay, now that, that's over with, let's go to class," said the responsible Shige.
With Kusano hanging off of me and Shige holding my hand as we walked towards class, I couldn't help but smile.
I'm so glad I have friends like these.
Because without them, I would have never been able to survive what's up ahead.
"It doesn't matter if Kei-chan is a girl or boy..."
Ryo
I didn't grow up in a happy family.
Not that my parents were bad to me. It was quite the opposite. They spoil me quite a bit. Kei says that's why I'm so straight-forward. That and I got influenced by Tsuyoshi-san and Koichi-san. I think I was born this way though and I'm proud of it. He says doctors should not act like that though, that he would feel very sorry for my patients. If it was someone else who said it, I wouldn't have hesitated to punch them. But it was Kei who said it. Which makes it a totally different matter.
Kei was the reason I call my family an unhappy one. I'm not saying it’s his fault though. It never will be. Kei is an adopted child in my family. I knew about that since I was young. Not through my parents, but through my nosy neighbours and classmates. Kei was adopted because Yuki died. I was only two-years-old at the time. I don't remember anything about Yuki as my oniisan, only briefly through stories that woman told me in the past. I became an oniisan myself when they adopted Kei.
He was loved by that woman for the first nine years of his life. He didn't have to do anything to get that woman's love. Whatever he did, compliments followed. I was never jealous of Kei though, because I always believed that he deserved it. I would never admit aloud, but he was a cute kid in my eyes. What Kei didn't get that I received my whole life was Otousan's love. I didn't understand why Otousan would choose to adopt Kei if he didn't have the heart to accept him. Not until much later.
Then suddenly, everything changed. I didn't notice it at first, but I knew that woman was acting weird. As part of our family, Kei and I got a certain amount of money at the beginning of the week that would pay for our lunches for that week. Whatever we have left we can keep as allowance. Otousan always said it was good practice for us. To learn how to use money properly.
That woman was the one who prepared the money and gave it to us every Monday morning. I didn't know about it at first since I had to leave earlier to go to school for three days straight, but I was there that Thursday morning.
Kei went up to that woman, asking for the money he should have gotten three days ago when that woman just turned around, smiled and said, "I didn't prepare it, Keiichiro. Why don't you ask me again tomorrow?"
I watched as a heartbreaking expression appeared on Kei’s face. "Okaasan," he said, "but...you said that for the past three days already..." It was obvious he didn't want to say it out loud, but couldn't help it.
"Are you saying it's my fault then?" the woman asked with a fake smile on her face.
I got pissed to say the least. How dare she...when she gave me such a sweet smile Monday morning, handing me the money in an evnelope. "You could easily gotten it from your wallet. Don't lie to Kei, you pathetic woman!" With that, I pulled Kei towards the door and out of the house. I saw her shocked face from the corner of my eye. Smirking, I thought she must have been surprised to hear that from an eleven-year-old. Her own son at that.
Once we were a good distance away from the house, I made Kei stop and look at me. He was quivering, trying to hold back tears in his eyes. "Kei, how have you been paying for you lunch these few days?"
He sniffled before answering me. "From what I saved up before."
I sighed, reaching into my pocket and pulled out a bill. "Here, Kei. You can take some of my money."
"But..."
"Just take it. I have plenty of people who would love to make or buy me lunch at school." Kei probably didn't know, but his Oniichan was pretty popular, even during grade school.
Kei bit his lip before nodding and taking the money from me. "Only this time though. I'll figure out something soon. I don't want Oniichan to give me money every single week."
I smiled, ruffling his hair before offering my hand to him. Kei gave me a bright grin and placed his smaller hand in mine.
Hand in hand, we walked to school together that day.
It was probably around that time. I stopped calling that woman Okaasan. I no longer saw her worthy of that title. Not with how she treats Kei.
What I never understood was how Kei never hated her. Or Otousan, who became more accepting of Kei, but not to the best of his ability. I knew I would have never been able to accept them like Kei.
Because when someone deserves to be hated, I would never forgive them.
I watched as Kei walked towards the school building and gave a small smile when I saw him brighten up at the sight of his friends. Luckily for me, I didn't have classes at the university until the afternoon. Perhaps people would call me over-protective, (actually, they do) but I can't stop worrying about Kei. Not until he was with his friends, because I know how hard it is for Kei to stay at home, especially when I'm not there a lot of times. Not that I'll ever admit to Kei I was worried about that. I just simply told him I have time to drive him to school.
There is just one thing I don't like.
I want to throw that Kusano brat away from Kei. He clings on to Kei too much. At least Katou doesn't cling. Actually, Katou will probably never cling to anyone because he acts like an old man who looks like a teenager. I don't understand how Kei makes his friends sometimes.
There's actually another thing I don't like.
Idiotic high school girls.
I could see them from the corner of my eyes, all pointing, whispering and giggling about me. While I won't deny that I'm sexy and irresistible, I hate how they all like because of my looks. They don't know me at all and yet they all claim to like or even love me. I could be hiding a terrible personality under a pretty mask after all. Not that I am.
I just knew too much about people with masks. To the point that I hate them.
After all, I live with a woman who hides the ugliest personality under a carefully-crafted mask.
One day, I'll break that mask and show the whole world how ugly she really is.
Author's Note: I was going to post this up yesterday...but I was sick...so I couldn't finish the chapter...It's my little challenge for the next few months I guess? Depending on how long the story will be (because I have no idea)... I'm going to try to post a new chapter every Monday (ignoring today's chapter)...so there's a chapter being posted on Christmas and one on New Year's...and one just before my birthday at the end of January...=D But yes...challenge of the...uh...end?

I'm just a high school students with lots of projects. ><''
I'm quite obsessed with the idea right now, since I couldn't stop thinking about it...feel free to give me any suggestions ne~ And I'm sorry for the horrible grammar...><'' I probably won't call this my masterpiece...but I have a feeling that I'll actually work on this.

I never expected this idea to become my first MC fic...because I still have so many other ideas floating around in my head...
So yes...JE boys version of Hyoten. With Kei as Youko... Why? Because I LOVE KEI. XD LOL. Kame could have been another choice, but I didn't feel like writing Akame. //gets kicked// And Ryo as Touru! Anyone saw that coming? Haha...I'm guessing no one did... Not that Ryo actually has the personality of Touru...that would just weird. =P Nishikido Keiichiro...hm...doesn't sound right...which is why I shall avoid saying his full name like that as much as possible. Haha. Whee~ Some KKK friendship~ I fail at characterization so I hoped I portrayed every character fine. I keep on mentioning Tsuyoshi and Koichi...meh...they'll appear soon. Everyone in NewS will show up in this fic! Eventually...though I need to find a bigger role for TegoMasu DD= There will various cameo appearances of other JE boys from Kinki Kids who I've already mentioned to KAT-TUN to Kanjani8 to T&T to...Arashi? TOKIO? Maybe...but I'll definitely include Juniors too! I have quite a bit planned...so...look forward to them. LOL
OH...OH...AND PAIRINGS. XDDDD Want spoilers? Some are just cameo appearances/pairings ne... I shall list pairings in white... You guys can choose to read it or not...=P Ryo x Kei (obviously), Pi x Kei (XDDD), Ryo x Uchi, Yokoyama x Uchi, Shige x Kusano, Pi x Kusano x Shige XDDD, Massu x Tegoshi, Jin x Kame, Koichi x Tsuyoshi, Tackey x Tsubasa, Yabu x Shoon, Hiromitsu x Taipi...okay...I think that's it for now. Why is it so long??? DDD=

I want to throw that Kusano brat away from Kei. He clings on to Kei too much. At least Katou doesn't cling. Actually, Katou will probably never cling to anyone because he acts like an old man who looks like a teenager. I don't understand how Kei makes his friends sometimes.
There's actually another thing I don't like.
Idiotic high school girls.
I could see them from the corner of my eyes, all pointing, whispering and giggling about me. While I won't deny that I'm sexy and irresistible, I hate how they all like because of my looks. They don't know me at all and yet they all claim to like or even love me. I could be hiding a terrible personality under a pretty mask after all. Not that I am.
I just knew too much about people with masks. To the point that I hate them.
After all, I live with a woman who hides the ugliest personality under a carefully-crafted mask.
One day, I'll break that mask and show the whole world how ugly she really is.
Author's Note: I was going to post this up yesterday...but I was sick...so I couldn't finish the chapter...It's my little challenge for the next few months I guess? Depending on how long the story will be (because I have no idea)... I'm going to try to post a new chapter every Monday (ignoring today's chapter)...so there's a chapter being posted on Christmas and one on New Year's...and one just before my birthday at the end of January...=D But yes...challenge of the...uh...end? Beginning? Screw...just challenge. Unfortunately, not all chapters will be as long as this...whatever I finish writing, I'll post...so...uh...bare with me. I'm just a high school students with lots of projects. ><''
I'm quite obsessed with the idea right now, since I couldn't stop thinking about it...feel free to give me any suggestions ne~ And I'm sorry for the horrible grammar...><'' I probably won't call this my masterpiece...but I have a feeling that I'll actually work on this. It's my first multi-chaptered JE fic ne...ignoring my translation of Like a Game MISA I SWEAR I'LL WORK ON THE NEXT CHAPTER SOON DD=...and here I was supposed to work on those various sequels I promised people T___T Lol. I never expected this idea to become my first MC fic...because I still have so many other ideas floating around in my head...
So yes...JE boys version of Hyoten. With Kei as Youko... Why? Because I LOVE KEI. XD LOL. Kame could have been another choice, but I didn't feel like writing Akame. //gets kicked// And Ryo as Touru! Anyone saw that coming? Haha...I'm guessing no one did... Not that Ryo actually has the personality of Touru...that would just weird. =P Nishikido Keiichiro...hm...doesn't sound right...which is why I shall avoid saying his full name like that as much as possible. Haha. Whee~ Some KKK friendship~ I fail at characterization so I hoped I portrayed every character fine. I keep on mentioning Tsuyoshi and Koichi...meh...they'll appear soon. Everyone in NewS will show up in this fic! Eventually...though I need to find a bigger role for TegoMasu DD= There will various cameo appearances of other JE boys from Kinki Kids who I've already mentioned to KAT-TUN to Kanjani8 to T&T to...Arashi? TOKIO? Maybe...but I'll definitely include Juniors too! I have quite a bit planned...so...look forward to them. LOL
OH...OH...AND PAIRINGS. XDDDD Want spoilers? Some are just cameo appearances/pairings ne... I shall list pairings in white... You guys can choose to read it or not...=P Ryo x Kei (obviously), Pi x Kei (XDDD), Ryo x Uchi, Yokoyama x Uchi, Shige x Kusano, Pi x Kusano x Shige XDDD, Massu x Tegoshi, Jin x Kame, Koichi x Tsuyoshi, Tackey x Tsubasa, Yabu x Shoon, Hiromitsu x Taipi...okay...I think that's it for now. Why is it so long??? DDD=
AND PLEASE, comments are love. I'm literally going to put my heart into this...so I would love comments. Or constructive criticism. I don't want to copy Hyoten 99.9% after all.
SO PLEASE COMMENT. I will love you guys forever. =DDD
P.S. Better title anyone? I might change it later on...because the more I think about it...the more my story has nothing to do with the title...=P
Part Two
