CHAPTER 15
CHAPTER 15
Koki felt his phone vibrating in his pocket and silently closed the door of the bedroom, where he laid Jin, who by the time they arrived to the apartment fell asleep.
„Moshi moshi” he picked it up as he sat down onto his couch, closing his eyes. He was worried beyond belief. They just arrived home, he carried Jin to the bed which was easier than he thought it would be. Jin lost a lot of weight. Even his face was not round anymore. It pained him, and he felt desperate that he only can watch as Jin turn into a man that doesn't resemble who he had been. Why was fate so cruel to Jin and Kazuya? He couldn't understand it. The first thing he wanted was to call Yamapi but the other seemed to do it earlier.
„Koki? I can’t reach Jin.” Yamapi’s worried voice was heard and at that, Koki sighed.
„He is in my house, sleeping.”
Judging from the tone of Koki's voice, Yamapi could tell something is not right.
„What happened?”
„I went to visit Kame-chan as our shedule said. When I went into his room there was noone, but soon Akanishi arrived. I tried to lift his mood with jokes and it seemed I succeeded in it a little. This is all I can do for him. But... that fucking bitch ruined everything.” Koki couldn't stay emotionless, his hatred for Tomoko could have been heard clearly.
„She tried to harm Kamenashi in front of Jin?” Yamapi asked in disbelief.
„No... actually, Jin had to sneak out because Kame-chan’s parents arrived to the hospital, so no, Tomoko couldn't do anything. I am sure his parents will be there for quite a long time and Tacchan will go too as promised.”
„Then what happened?”
„When we were about to go into the elevator that fucking bitch appeared and claimed to speak with Akanishi alone. I had to go away, I didn't want her to be, too suspicious.” Koki sighed. „I shouldn't have... damnit..”
„No Koki, you did the right thing. Continue please.” Yamapi felt there was more to tell.
„I don't know what that bitch told him, but... I was so scared. Man, I was waiting for him downstairs in front of the elevator. And guess what happened... The elevator door opened and Akanishi laid there unconscious...”
Yamapi’s heart skipped a beat from worry. „How is he? Did you go to see doctor?”
„I pulled him out and started to shake him, but the only thing he was capable of saying was Kamenashi’s name. He refused to go to any doctor, I couldn't take him by force, I don't know if I did the right thing... just... just...” Koki’s voice was filled with despair again. The cool joker showed his true face.
„Calm down Koki. I would have done what Jin said too if I were you. I seriously think... that... unfortunately... Jin is close to a real breakdown... the only one that can save him is Kamenashi.”
„He loves Kame-chan so much Pi, so very much it is out of this world. I think the same as you, but then... we can't really do anything for him?” the thought alone pained Koki more.
„We can. Be there for him, give him strength and support him. No matter how stubborn he behaves lately, don't get mad at him ne.” Yamapi tried to ease the tension and Koki smiled faintly.
„Of course I won't. I never thought I would say it but lately I cant' be mad at Akanishi no matter what he does.” Koki looked at the direction of the bedroom with a sigh.
Moments of silents passed by and then Koki’s quiet voice could be heard.
„Nee Pi...”
„Hm?” Yamapi felt the tension too, he knew what Koki was feeling and probably all of Jin’s friends. He knew Jin’s family very well and he could only hope they will come back to Japan very soon from their holiday. And that they will support Jin’s feelings...
„Tomorrow is the press conference. Do you think...he will be fine?” Koki was afraid that Jin can't take it. That he will faint in between, or worse.
Yamapi looked at his calendar where the day of the press conference was marked with red. „Lets believe in him. Maybe it sounds crazy, but...I think Kamenashi is guarding him.” Yes, at times Pi really was thinking so. And he still remembered on that rainy day. That time a miracle happened. It is the proof of fate, no matter how cruel it is, it wants Kame and Jin to be together.
Koki chuckled a little „I am relieved that I am not the only one thinking so.” He smiled as a picture of Kame with white wings above Akanishi appeared in his head.
„Koki...” Yamapi’s voice filled with seriousness.
„Yes?”
„I can't be there tomorrow... Take care of him.” The seriousness of his voice died away as he heard Koki chuckle.
„Woah, you sound like his father.”
„Urusai” Pi muttered but smiled. „If there is anything wrong, call me, okay?”
„Of course I will.” Koki nodded tho he knew it can't be seen at the other end of the line.
„Sore ja...bye bye. And take care of him properly.” Pi warned jokingly.
„Hai hai otousan!” Koki laughed and he said goodbye too, cutting the line. He let out a deep sigh, taking his baseball cap off of his head and onto the table, caressing into his short hair.
He stood up, going into the kitchen, opening the fridge. He should make Jin eat something, but at the other hand he didn't want to wake the man up. With a heavy heart he reached for the water bottle and gulped out of it. He decided that he won't eat either if Jin can't. He knew it means nothing, but he wanted to do it. He wanted to have a little share of Jin’s fate.
He went out to the living room and opened a cupboard with full of clothes and blankets. He pulled out a light blue one and carried it to the couch, putting it down. He turned his head to the side so he would be able to see the shelves where a photo of KAT-TUN was.
Koki walked there, his eyes never leaving the picture as he got closer to it, extending his hand to take it down. He took it into his hands, watching it with thoughtful eyes. It was a picture they took when they went out to eat together. It was a really good memory, it made Koki smile as he remembered it.
～～～
„Nakamaru you are too loud!” Jin said annoyed, tho he really was not that annoyed. Koki grinned and to tease Jin more, he started to rap in the rhythm of Maru’s beatbox. Jin looked up from his relaxing position on the bench and groaned.
„It’s okay Jin, they are just practising.” Kame said kindly, taking a sip from his ice-tea.
„But Kame, they do it aaaaalllll day!” Jin whined a little. „Don't say you are not annoyed.”
„I am not.” Kame chuckled and it made Jin roll his eyes.
„How the hell can you be so patient?” Then Jin smirked, going to Koki and Maru.
Na wait you two...
He started to sing loudly too, and actually, coincidentally it matched the rap and beatbox perfectly. The three stopped surprised and all 6 guys looked at each other.
„Woah, it was actually good.” Ueda nodded.
„See? No matter what we do, KAT-TUN matches perfectly together!” Koki smiled happily, then he heard Jin laugh.
„All what is missing... MC Kame!” Koki pointed at the young man, who stood up and smiled. Jin and the others started to create the mood by „woooooo” and clapping and this caused Kame to laugh out.
„Okay, today’s MC! Yosh! We, KAT-TUN are here in the beach house on holiday, of course practising singing as always, because work is important. So, how are you feeling, Ueda-kun?”
Ueda looked up and showed a peace sign as if there was an audience. Well, actually there was; Jin, Taguchi, Koki and Maru. They formed the audience while Kame pretended to stand on a stage talking to a microphone with whoever he called up. Now it was Ueda.
„It is really good, and the air is fresh.” He said and nodded, looking at Kame signaling ’please call someone else’.
„Thank you Ueda-kun. Now...Jin. How are you today?” Jin popped up and walked to the „stage”, playing as if he was talking into a microphone.
„Hello everybody” he said in English with a smirk and a Hayato peace waving. It was the time of Gokusen era, Kame and Jin were in good terms, but Koki noticed sometimes the awkwardness between them. He couldn't understand why it was...at that time. „I, Yabuki Jin, feel very good, the food is good, the sea is amazing and we can rest a lot.
„Oh Yabuki-kun, tell us about the new drama you are starring in.” Kame joined into the joke and went with the flow. Jin smirked at him. „It is called Gokusen and I am starring with my very girly bandmate Odagiri Kazuya.” It earned a slap on the head from Kazuya, but it caused Jin to grin more. At that time he was only playing, he couldn't acknowledge his feeling for Kazuya was really love.
„Oh sorry, there was a mosquito. So, "what the members bought today" corner! Hai! Let me tell you Yabuki-kun’s result of shopping. A new pink bathing pants.”
The others bursted out laughing, just Ueda was the one who smiled only.
„Kaaaaaaaaame!” Jin whined blushing.
„My name is Odagiri. Oookay, next, thank you Yabuki-kun.” Kame smirked and signaled Jin to go into the audience.
„It is NOT pink, it is red and stylish!!” But he was ignored.
„Next the infamous manzai combi TaNaka. Applause!” Kame clapped and Koki and Maru went onto the stage.
„It IS red!!” Jin’s whine could be heared but he once again was ignored, now not only by Kame, by everyone.
„So TaNaka, standby onegaishimasu~!” Kame smiled.
They had very good time, Maru and Koki did manzai which made all of them laugh and they kicked poor Taguchi when he said „Oh there is one thing that is missing: my jokes.” And then he said one.
After the play they took a photo on which everyone was laughing and smiling. Those were really happy times, they were still sincere and somewhat young. Koki looked at Kame’s smiling face and his eyes watered. He remembered how kind Kame always was, how caring and it was him who kept KAT-TUN as a group.
„Kame-chan... it is not the same without you... come back to us. Come back and end this nightmare... be by Akanishi’s side... please.” Koki said to the picture, not allowing his teardrops to fall. He has to be strong. For Kame and Jin.
**
Yamapi looked at his clock, it was past eight in the evening. He just couldn't calm down, no he couldn't. Tomoko plans something for the press conference, that was sure. He needed to have something he could threaten Tomoko not to kill Kazuya. He didn't plan to do it that day, but he couldn't stay still. He was restless and he knew he couldn't sleep if he didn't do it tonight. He was about to get mad at home, just sitting and thinking. No, he is definitely doing it now. He went to his desk, taking out the dictaphone he got earlier from Ueda and checked if the batteries are okay. He trusted Ueda just he couldn't risk it. He recorded his voice as a test and listened it back. Perfect, everything seemed okay.
„Na wait girl, you will just dig your own grave tonight.” Yamapi took his coat from the hanger and grabbed his car keys. He hoped everything will go okay. He knew if his act will be found out Kazuya is in great danger, but he just had to try it. He nodded determined and put the dictaphone into his pocket, going out to his car, getting into it.
The road was almost empty which was unusual for a Friday night, but the weather again turned to be windy and very tricky, maybe another typhoon will come and then there will be heavy rain again, but maybe not. Yamapi didn't know why the roads are so empty but he didn't even care. All that filled his head was the hope his plan will go smoothly.
**
21:20 PM
Yamapi arrived at the hospital, parking his car in the parking lot, in front of the building. He was nervous, but he tried to hide it. He still remembered his role Kurosagi and how he had to act when deceiving people. Now he just had to be Kurosagi again, with poker face and calmness.
He adjusted his long coat and looked up at the building. He could see there was light in Kazuya’s hospital room, he had been there often so he memorized which window it is. The most important thing is; he can't seem suspicious. If Tomoko finds out he has a plan he is doomed and so is Kazuya.
„Yossh!” He nodded and checked if the dictaphone is still in pocket. It was there, so he entered the building with a determined look on his face. „Game started.”
He knew it was a little late to come to visit, but he needed to speak to Tomoko alone so he hoped whoever visiting Kazuya will go home soon.
As he reached the room and entered he saw Kazuya’s parents along with Ueda and Chinami. The girl babbled nonstop and Kazuya’s father laughed with her, they seemed to get along very well. His mother however wore a sad expression whenever she looked at Chinami. Yamapi still remembered how the woman thanked Jin for saving Kazuya’s life. He saw as soon as the mother looked at him her eyes filled with feelings Yamapi couldn't really name. They were a mix of worry and hope. Hope for what?
„Good evening!” Yamapi bowed a little and this caused the others to look at him. Ueda was a little surprised, he didn't think Pi will set his plan into motion so soon. However he knew he has to behave as if he and Yamapi wouldn't be really friends and didn't meet for long.
„Oh Yamashita-kun long time no see, hello.” Ueda said and bowed his head a little.
„Hi Ueda-kun. Hisashiburi ne” he nodded.
„Yamashita! Good evening!” Kazuya’s father waved and his mother bowed her head. Yamapi smiled. As soon as Chinami looked behind she started to fangirl.
„Oh Goood!! Yamapi! Yamapiiii!!” she run to him. „Do you still remember me? Do you?” She asked excitedly. Pi couldn't help but dislike the girl more and more. He managed a fake smile anyway, he was idol, it was not that hard.
„Chinami, isn't it?” Yamapi asked but the girl was too close for his liking. He stepped back one step.
„Oh yes!!! Ohhh! You remember my name!” Chinami fleetingly wondered, it would have been better if Yamapi was in coma so she could fake she is Yamapi’s girlfriend. But well, Kamenashi is not so bad either. She thought.
~Yamapi? How is Jin?~ Kazuya wanted to ask this so badly, he was so worried. The meeting with Jin still lingered in him. It was real wasn't it? Not just a feverish dream. But...Jin looked so tired, so lost, so...not himself. Kazuya’s heart still ached and he hated himself. He still remembered the doctors said it is up to him if he wakes up or not. Then why can't he? Why is he still in this closed world?
„Yamashita-kun...” Kazuya’s mother stood up and it caused Pi to look at her.
„Hai?”
„Kazuya once said that you know which juice he likes the most, he told the name but I forgot. Could you come and buy it with me?” she asked while smiling. Yamapi was taken aback. What was she talking about? He saw everyone looks at the woman, but she just started to laugh.
„Come on, what’s with you? I only want the best for my Kazuya.” She said and looked at Pi and tho he understood nothing he nodded.
„Okay, let’s go madam.” He nodded and started to walk towards the door, but waited until the woman arrives there to let her out first.
„Ermm... I don't really know what juice you are talking about.” Said Pi confused as they were walking away from the room. The woman suddenly stopped.
„I am sorry Yamashita-kun, but I wanted to talk to you alone.” The woman said.
„Oh... sure. What is it about Mrs Kamenashi?” Pi asked tho he had an idea what could it be about.
„How is Akanishi-kun?” she asked worry obvious in her voice.
„Oh...” Pi’s head was so full with his plan he didn't really thought of a possibility that a conversation like this can happen that day.
„He is... okay. Now he is staying at one of his bandmate’s house. Don’t worry madam.”
„Yamashita-kun...can I ask you something?” the woman looked at Pi’s eyes and the young man nodded.
„Why? Why was Kazuya saying the name of Akanishi-kun when he was dying? Why was he good all of a sudden when Akanishi-kun arrived? What happened on the day of the accident? Please... if you know tell me.” Questions flown out of the woman’s lips, her eyes shone exhausted and a little desperate Maybe...she can be supportive? But is she ready to handle the truth? Pi was afraid she was not, so there was only one possible answer he could say.
„It is not my task to say Mrs Kamenashi, I am sorry. It is up to Jin if he wants to tell it or not...and up to Kazuya because I am sure once he will get up, he will give an answer to all of your questions.” Pi felt a little sad watching the woman. He thought Jin has to suffer the most but looking at the woman in her late forties, being so exhausted, clenching her hands together trying to hide her pain like that made Pi realize Jin is not the only one suffering very much. And he knew, if Kazuya hears it all, if he knows what is happening around him, Kazuya is suffering very much too.
„If Kazuya didn't have a girlfriend I would think they are...they are....” the woman looked down and Pi didn't comment that sentence.
„I can just say Mrs Kamenashi, Jin is not against your son. He could never harm him. If you... could speak to Mr Kamenashi...and convince him to let Jin visit Kazuya, it is for Kazuya’s sake too. We all support your son. And believe that one day he will be among us again.”
The woman looked at the young man with thankful but tear filled eyes. „Thank you Yamashita-kun. And tell Akanishi-kun to hang on. I believe in him, I believe he is not a bad person.”
Yamapi nodded. „I will tell him. Thank you. He will be glad.”
Tomoko got out of the elevator and saw how Pi and Kazuya’s mother talk. She narrowed her eyes. Are you playing with fire Yamashita? You will pay if you told her. She saw how the two got back to the room and not long after Kazuya’s parents, Ueda and Chinami exited the room. They went pass Tomoko and greeted her, Chinami winked at her as she was chatting with Kame's father. Tomoko flashed a smile and waved them goodbye, but the angelic face disappeared as soon as the group of people were out of sight.
Tomoko, with a cold expression was heading towards Kazuya’s hospital room and entered, finding Yamapi sitting next to the bed.
„So you plan to be a guardian angel? Hilarious” She laughed. Yamapi stood up, his hands in his pocket and he pushed the record button on the dictaphone.
„I won't let you harm him.” He said and walked closer to Tomoko. Like this, the recording will be better quality.
„And what happened to our Romeo? Did I make him weak that much he can't even stand up?” Tomoko laughed again.
„And you claim to love Jin? You are pitiful. Do you know it?” Yamapi said with a disgusted face.
„Hey hey pretty boy. Don't dare to talk to me like this. Does Kamenashi’s life means that little to you? Don't you remember? I can kill him anytime I want. And I won't hesitate.”
„I won't let you kill him.”
„And what can you do?” she started to curl her hair with her fingers with a smug smile. „Pretty nasty that you told what I am up to to his mother.„ Tomoko glared.
„I didn't tell her. Do you think that I am that stupid?” Pi couldn't believe it, everything went as he had planned. Tomoko revealed herself and if everything is okay with the dictaphone - and why wouldn't it be, he checked it a few times before coming here - he had proof. He knew he can't show it to the media or the police. Not until Tomoko will have days off or can't really go near Kazuya or as long as he doesn't know how many partners she had. Maybe she had nurse partner too.
{Playing around is impossible by now
Because I have a clear view of your Pure lies
It's about time to stop your Game}
„Hmm... maybe... or maybe not.” Tomoko seemingly enjoyed she has power over the happenings.
„Here, only you are a liar, not me.” Yamapi said with a cool voice.
{You are lying, You are lying
Do you think you can deceive me with those kind of lies?
You are lying, You are lying again
You can't escape this line with those kind of lies
Liar}
„And? Who cares. Everyone believes me. And besides... what do you think why Akanishi didn't go to you or call you?”
Yamapi narrowed his eyes. „What did you lie to him about again?”
„Ahh, I just said you were here to kill pooooor Kazu-boy.” Tomoko smirked and then laughed. She was too lost in that game and she began to enjoy it too much.
„You won't win. Jin knows I could never harm Kamenashi and deceive him.”
„Oh you think so? Well for me Akanishi seemed pretty over the edge. And I managed to make his faith in you weaken by the article, remember?” She smirked. Yamapi would have smirk too if he could, but he had to stay cool. It was beyond his plans. Girl, you are over.
„You wrote that article?” Pi asked.
„Me? Nah no. I am not a journalist, but don't worry, I have my people there too.” She turned to Kazuya and looked down at him.
„Soo... what should I do to you Princess?” her eyes shone with hatred. „You little bitch, capturing Akanishi’s heart which belongs to me, only to me.”
„Tomoko...” Pi said and it was really hard to keep a poker face. The girl looked at him.
„What?”
„You still have chance to stop it, stop behaving like this and let them be. You can never win Jin’s love.” Pi looked into the eyes of the girl, and hoped for a miracle.
„I get everything I want. Let it be by force or even the cost of Kamenashi’s life. I won't give up. And I told you, I give Akanishi one last chance and it is tomorrow’s press conference. If I were you, I would tell him to behave.” She smirked. She saw Yamapi standing there and laughed a little.
„You can go, I won't do anything to him. And you have no other choice than to believe me, since the visiting hour is long over and I am a nurse, I can always tell the security to bring you out.”
„Allright. I am going, but I just say this, if you do anything to Kamenashi you will dearly pay.” His voice was threatening and it caused another amused chuckle from Tomoko.
„You don't have anything to threaten me with. Goodbye prettyboy~!” she waved and Yamapi turned around, exiting the room, going along the corridor smirking all the way. He got into the elevator and took the dictaphone out pushing the stop button and his heart pounded in his throat as he pushed rewind. Is the recording quality good enough to use it against Tomoko? He took a deep breath, pushed stop and then play. „I get everything I want. Let it be by force or even the cost of Kamenashi’s life.” He heard Tomoko’s voice clearly and he rested his back against the elevator wall, tilting his head back eyes closed. He was relieved. As he got down he put the dictaphone back into his pocket and exited the building. Before he got into his car he looked back and smirked.
„Maidoari!”
**
Behind the door of Kazuya’s room Chinami stood with eyes wide open. She couldn't believe what she had just overheard. Tomoko wanted to kill her Kazuya?? She was furious, she was greatly disappointed with the other. Oh no girl, you won’t.

„Koki...” Yamapi’s voice filled with seriousness.
„Yes?”
„I can't be there tomorrow... Take care of him.” The seriousness of his voice died away as he heard Koki chuckle.
„Woah, you sound like his father.”
„Urusai” Pi muttered but smiled. „If there is anything wrong, call me, okay?”
„Of course I will.” Koki nodded tho he knew it can't be seen at the other end of the line.
„Sore ja...bye bye. And take care of him properly.” Pi warned jokingly.
„Hai hai otousan!” Koki laughed and he said goodbye too, cutting the line. He let out a deep sigh, taking his baseball cap off of his head and onto the table, caressing into his short hair.
He stood up, going into the kitchen, opening the fridge. He should make Jin eat something, but at the other hand he didn't want to wake the man up. With a heavy heart he reached for the water bottle and gulped out of it. He decided that he won't eat either if Jin can't. He knew it means nothing, but he wanted to do it.

„I am not.” Kame chuckled and it made Jin roll his eyes.
„How the hell can you be so patient?” Then Jin smirked, going to Koki and Maru.
Na wait you two...
He started to sing loudly too, and actually, coincidentally it matched the rap and beatbox perfectly. The three stopped surprised and all 6 guys looked at each other.
„Woah, it was actually good.” Ueda nodded.
„See? No matter what we do, KAT-TUN matches perfectly together!” Koki smiled happily, then he heard Jin laugh.
„All what is missing... MC Kame!” Koki pointed at the young man, who stood up and smiled. Jin and the others started to create the mood by „woooooo” and clapping and this caused Kame to laugh out.
„Okay, today’s MC! Yosh! We, KAT-TUN are here in the beach house on holiday, of course practising singing as always, because work is important. So, how are you feeling, Ueda-kun?”
Ueda looked up and showed a peace sign as if there was an audience. Well, actually there was; Jin, Taguchi, Koki and Maru. They formed the audience while Kame pretended to stand on a stage talking to a microphone with whoever he called up. Now it was Ueda.
„It is really good, and the air is fresh.” He said and nodded, looking at Kame signaling ’please call someone else’.
„Thank you Ueda-kun. Now...Jin. How are you today?” Jin popped up and walked to the „stage”, playing as if he was talking into a microphone.
„Hello everybody” he said in English with a smirk and a Hayato peace waving. It was the time of Gokusen era, Kame and Jin were in good terms, but Koki noticed sometimes the awkwardness between them. He couldn't understand why it was...at that time. „I, Yabuki Jin, feel very good, the food is good, the sea is amazing and we can rest a lot.
„Oh Yabuki-kun, tell us about the new drama you are starring in.” Kame joined into the joke and went with the flow. Jin smirked at him. „It is called Gokusen and I am starring with my very girly bandmate Odagiri Kazuya.” It earned a slap on the head from Kazuya, but it caused Jin to grin more. At that time he was only playing, he couldn't acknowledge his feeling for Kazuya was really love.
„Oh sorry, there was a mosquito. So, "what the members bought today" corner! Hai! Let me tell you Yabuki-kun’s result of shopping. A new pink bathing pants.”
The others bursted out laughing, just Ueda was the one who smiled only.
„Kaaaaaaaaame!” Jin whined blushing.
„My name is Odagiri. Oookay, next, thank you Yabuki-kun.” Kame smirked and signaled Jin to go into the audience.
„It is NOT pink, it is red and stylish!!” But he was ignored.
„Next the infamous manzai combi TaNaka. Applause!” Kame clapped and Koki and Maru went onto the stage.
„It IS red!!” Jin’s whine could be heared but he once again was ignored, now not only by Kame, by everyone.
„So TaNaka, standby onegaishimasu~!” Kame smiled.
They had very good time, Maru and Koki did manzai which made all of them laugh and they kicked poor Taguchi when he said „Oh there is one thing that is missing: my jokes.” And then he said one.
After the play they took a photo on which everyone was laughing and smiling. Those were really happy times, they were still sincere and somewhat young. Koki looked at Kame’s smiling face and his eyes watered. He remembered how kind Kame always was, how caring and it was him who kept KAT-TUN as a group.
„Kame-chan... it is not the same without you... come back to us. Come back and end this nightmare... be by Akanishi’s side... please.” Koki said to the picture, not allowing his teardrops to fall. He has to be strong. For Kame and Jin.

Yamapi looked at his clock, it was past eight in the evening. He just couldn't calm down, no he couldn't. Tomoko plans something for the press conference, that was sure. He needed to have something he could threaten Tomoko not to kill Kazuya. He didn't plan to do it that day, but he couldn't stay still. He was restless and he knew he couldn't sleep if he didn't do it tonight. He was about to get mad at home, just sitting and thinking. No, he is definitely doing it now. He went to his desk, taking out the dictaphone he got earlier from Ueda and checked if the batteries are okay. He trusted Ueda just he couldn't risk it. He recorded his voice as a test and listened it back. Perfect, everything seemed okay.
„Na wait girl, you will just dig your own grave tonight.” Yamapi took his coat from the hanger and grabbed his car keys. He hoped everything will go okay. He knew if his act will be found out Kazuya is in great danger, but he just had to try it. He nodded determined and put the dictaphone into his pocket, going out to his car, getting into it.
The road was almost empty which was unusual for a Friday night, but the weather again turned to be windy and very tricky, maybe another typhoon will come and then there will be heavy rain again, but maybe not. Yamapi didn't know why the roads are so empty but he didn't even care. All that filled his head was the hope his plan will go smoothly.
**
21:20 PM
Yamapi arrived at the hospital, parking his car in the parking lot, in front of the building. He was nervous, but he tried to hide it. He still remembered his role Kurosagi and how he had to act when deceiving people. Now he just had to be Kurosagi again, with poker face and calmness.
He adjusted his long coat and looked up at the building. He could see there was light in Kazuya’s hospital room, he had been there often so he memorized which window it is. The most important thing is; he can't seem suspicious. If Tomoko finds out he has a plan he is doomed and so is Kazuya.
„Yossh!” He nodded and checked if the dictaphone is still in pocket. It was there, so he entered the building with a determined look on his face. „Game started.”
He knew it was a little late to come to visit, but he needed to speak to Tomoko alone so he hoped whoever visiting Kazuya will go home soon.
As he reached the room and entered he saw Kazuya’s parents along with Ueda and Chinami. The girl babbled nonstop and Kazuya’s father laughed with her, they seemed to get along very well. His mother however wore a sad expression whenever she looked at Chinami. Yamapi still remembered how the woman thanked Jin for saving Kazuya’s life. He saw as soon as the mother looked at him her eyes filled with feelings Yamapi couldn't really name. They were a mix of worry and hope. Hope for what?
„Good evening!” Yamapi bowed a little and this caused the others to look at him. Ueda was a little surprised, he didn't think Pi will set his plan into motion so soon. However he knew he has to behave as if he and Yamapi wouldn't be really friends and didn't meet for long.
„Oh Yamashita-kun long time no see, hello.” Ueda said and bowed his head a little.
„Hi Ueda-kun. Hisashiburi ne” he nodded.
„Yamashita! Good evening!” Kazuya’s father waved and his mother bowed her head. Yamapi smiled. As soon as Chinami looked behind she started to fangirl.
„Oh Goood!! Yamapi! Yamapiiii!!” she run to him. „Do you still remember me? Do you?” She asked excitedly. Pi couldn't help but dislike the girl more and more. He managed a fake smile anyway, he was idol, it was not that hard.
„Chinami, isn't it?” Yamapi asked but the girl was too close for his liking. He stepped back one step.
„Oh yes!!! Ohhh! You remember my name!” Chinami fleetingly wondered, it would have been better if Yamapi was in coma so she could fake she is Yamapi’s girlfriend. But well, Kamenashi is not so bad either. She thought.
~Yamapi? How is Jin?~ Kazuya wanted to ask this so badly, he was so worried. The meeting with Jin still lingered in him. It was real wasn't it? Not just a feverish dream. But...Jin looked so tired, so lost, so...not himself. Kazuya’s heart still ached and he hated himself. He still remembered the doctors said it is up to him if he wakes up or not. Then why can't he? Why is he still in this closed world?
„Yamashita-kun...” Kazuya’s mother stood up and it caused Pi to look at her.
„Hai?”
„Kazuya once said that you know which juice he likes the most, he told the name but I forgot. Could you come and buy it with me?” she asked while smiling. Yamapi was taken aback. What was she talking about? He saw everyone looks at the woman, but she just started to laugh.
„Come on, what’s with you? I only want the best for my Kazuya.” She said and looked at Pi and tho he understood nothing he nodded.
„Okay, let’s go madam.” He nodded and started to walk towards the door, but waited until the woman arrives there to let her out first.
„Ermm... I don't really know what juice you are talking about.” Said Pi confused as they were walking away from the room. The woman suddenly stopped.
„I am sorry Yamashita-kun, but I wanted to talk to you alone.” The woman said.
„Oh... sure. What is it about Mrs Kamenashi?” Pi asked tho he had an idea what could it be about.
„How is Akanishi-kun?” she asked worry obvious in her voice.
„Oh...” Pi’s head was so full with his plan he didn't really thought of a possibility that a conversation like this can happen that day.
„He is... okay. Now he is staying at one of his bandmate’s house. Don’t worry madam.”
„Yamashita-kun...can I ask you something?” the woman looked at Pi’s eyes and the young man nodded.
„Why? Why was Kazuya saying the name of Akanishi-kun when he was dying? Why was he good all of a sudden when Akanishi-kun arrived? What happened on the day of the accident? Please... if you know tell me.” Questions flown out of the woman’s lips, her eyes shone exhausted and a little desperate Maybe...she can be supportive? But is she ready to handle the truth? Pi was afraid she was not, so there was only one possible answer he could say.
„It is not my task to say Mrs Kamenashi, I am sorry. It is up to Jin if he wants to tell it or not...and up to Kazuya because I am sure once he will get up, he will give an answer to all of your questions.” Pi felt a little sad watching the woman. He thought Jin has to suffer the most but looking at the woman in her late forties, being so exhausted, clenching her hands together trying to hide her pain like that made Pi realize Jin is not the only one suffering very much. And he knew, if Kazuya hears it all, if he knows what is happening around him, Kazuya is suffering very much too.
„If Kazuya didn't have a girlfriend I would think they are...they are....” the woman looked down and Pi didn't comment that sentence.
„I can just say Mrs Kamenashi, Jin is not against your son. He could never harm him. If you... could speak to Mr Kamenashi...and convince him to let Jin visit Kazuya, it is for Kazuya’s sake too. We all support your son. And believe that one day he will be among us again.”
The woman looked at the young man with thankful but tear filled eyes. „Thank you Yamashita-kun. And tell Akanishi-kun to hang on. I believe in him, I believe he is not a bad person.”
Yamapi nodded. „I will tell him. Thank you. He will be glad.”
Tomoko got out of the elevator and saw how Pi and Kazuya’s mother talk. She narrowed her eyes. Are you playing with fire Yamashita? You will pay if you told her. She saw how the two got back to the room and not long after Kazuya’s parents, Ueda and Chinami exited the room. They went pass Tomoko and greeted her, Chinami winked at her as she was chatting with Kame's father. Tomoko flashed a smile and waved them goodbye, but the angelic face disappeared as soon as the group of people were out of sight.
Tomoko, with a cold expression was heading towards Kazuya’s hospital room and entered, finding Yamapi sitting next to the bed.
„So you plan to be a guardian angel? Hilarious” She laughed. Yamapi stood up, his hands in his pocket and he pushed the record button on the dictaphone.
„I won't let you harm him.” He said and walked closer to Tomoko. Like this, the recording will be better quality.
„And what happened to our Romeo? Did I make him weak that much he can't even stand up?” Tomoko laughed again.
„And you claim to love Jin? You are pitiful. Do you know it?” Yamapi said with a disgusted face.
„Hey hey pretty boy. Don't dare to talk to me like this. Does Kamenashi’s life means that little to you? Don't you remember? I can kill him anytime I want. And I won't hesitate.”
„I won't let you kill him.”
„And what can you do?” she started to curl her hair with her fingers with a smug smile. „Pretty nasty that you told what I am up to to his mother.„ Tomoko glared.
„I didn't tell her. Do you think that I am that stupid?” Pi couldn't believe it, everything went as he had planned. Tomoko revealed herself and if everything is okay with the dictaphone - and why wouldn't it be, he checked it a few times before coming here - he had proof. He knew he can't show it to the media or the police. Not until Tomoko will have days off or can't really go near Kazuya or as long as he doesn't know how many partners she had. Maybe she had nurse partner too.
{Playing around is impossible by now
Because I have a clear view of your Pure lies
It's about time to stop your Game}
„Hmm... maybe... or maybe not.” Tomoko seemingly enjoyed she has power over the happenings.
„Here, only you are a liar, not me.” Yamapi said with a cool voice.
{You are lying, You are lying
Do you think you can deceive me with those kind of lies?
You are lying, You are lying again
You can't escape this line with those kind of lies
Liar}
„And? Who cares. Everyone believes me. And besides... what do you think why Akanishi didn't go to you or call you?”
Yamapi narrowed his eyes. „What did you lie to him about again?”
„Ahh, I just said you were here to kill pooooor Kazu-boy.” Tomoko smirked and then laughed. She was too lost in that game and she began to enjoy it too much.
„You won't win. Jin knows I could never harm Kamenashi and deceive him.”
„Oh you think so? Well for me Akanishi seemed pretty over the edge. And I managed to make his faith in you weaken by the article, remember?” She smirked. Yamapi would have smirk too if he could, but he had to stay cool. It was beyond his plans. Girl, you are over.
„You wrote that article?” Pi asked.
„Me? Nah no. I am not a journalist, but don't worry, I have my people there too.” She turned to Kazuya and looked down at him.
„Soo... what should I do to you Princess?” her eyes shone with hatred. „You little bitch, capturing Akanishi’s heart which belongs to me, only to me.”
„Tomoko...” Pi said and it was really hard to keep a poker face. The girl looked at him.
„What?”
„You still have chance to stop it, stop behaving like this and let them be. You can never win Jin’s love.” Pi looked into the eyes of the girl, and hoped for a miracle.
„I get everything I want. Let it be by force or even the cost of Kamenashi’s life. I won't give up. And I told you, I give Akanishi one last chance and it is tomorrow’s press conference. If I were you, I would tell him to behave.” She smirked. She saw Yamapi standing there and laughed a little.
„You can go, I won't do anything to him. And you have no other choice than to believe me, since the visiting hour is long over and I am a nurse, I can always tell the security to bring you out.”
„Allright. I am going, but I just say this, if you do anything to Kamenashi you will dearly pay.” His voice was threatening and it caused another amused chuckle from Tomoko.
„You don't have anything to threaten me with. Goodbye prettyboy~!” she waved and Yamapi turned around, exiting the room, going along the corridor smirking all the way. He got into the elevator and took the dictaphone out pushing the stop button and his heart pounded in his throat as he pushed rewind. Is the recording quality good enough to use it against Tomoko? He took a deep breath, pushed stop and then play. „I get everything I want. Let it be by force or even the cost of Kamenashi’s life.” He heard Tomoko’s voice clearly and he rested his back against the elevator wall, tilting his head back eyes closed. He was relieved. As he got down he put the dictaphone back into his pocket and exited the building. Before he got into his car he looked back and smirked.
„Maidoari!”
**
Behind the door of Kazuya’s room Chinami stood with eyes wide open. She couldn't believe what she had just overheard. Tomoko wanted to kill her Kazuya?? She was furious, she was greatly disappointed with the other. Oh no girl, you won’t.
