~Maid & Master~ Ch. 8

[hsjnikki831]

“And you just walked out?!” Kento said with a large smile on his face. “Damn... I wish I could've seen the look on his face when you did that!” She smiled a bit, “It was pretty funny... anyways I'm glad I won't have to put up with a spoiled brat like him.” They finished eating their fancy dinner as Kento then said, “So, let's get to my place--”
“AYA!” they heard as Shizu ran over. “What are you doing out late?! This isn't like you... Kento, you're such a bad influence on her! She's suppose to be at home otherwise she'll be in huge trouble with her parents.”
“Shut up Kuromiya.” Kento groaned. “What the hell are you doing here anyways?”
“I was doing Karaoke with Reila. She just took off.” she explained. She stared at the restaurant they had just came from as she stared wide-eyed, “Whoa~! A creep like you could actually afford a place like this?!”
“Yea. I got money...” he stated. “Just because I'm not like those celebrities all you girls are hung up about, doesn't mean I can't afford the same things they do.” Aya thought, “So, are you from a wealthy family?”
“You could say that...” he stated. Shizu pouted, “Well even if you're rich that doesn't make you as great as celebrities.”
“I'm not trying to be as great as them...” he responded. “Anyways, let's get home Aya.” Shizu's eyes went wide, “WHAT?! AYA, YOU'RE LIVING WITH HIM?!!”
“Well, yea. Starting today...” she responded as Shizu pulled her away from Kento. “There's only one reason guys would have a girl over and that's to have her in his bed! Aya you can't go with him! Why would your parents let you go with him?!”
“well they don't exactly know..” she stated as Shizu gasped. “Aya, what's Kento done to you?! You've never been like this!! Did you get into a fight with your parents?!”
“No... my brother and I'll call my parents later.” she explained.
“Well as your best.. girl friend...” she said giving Kento a look. “I can't let you stay the night at a guy's house. My place is just over there anyways.”
“What? She already said she's going to my place.” Kento argued as Shizu glared, “You just want her in your bed! So shut up!”
“I do not! Don't lump me up with those celebrities of yours!”
“Ah! How dare you?! They would never do that!” Shizu screamed in anger. Aya sighed, “Can't you two ever stop fighting?!” They two did as she continued, “Okay, Kento. Shizu does have a point about guys. It may not be you, but it probably would be better if I stay with Shizu for a while... okay?” He sighed, “Fine.”
“Great! Then let's go.” Shizu smiled. Aya nodded as she lit up, “Ah, can I have a moment with Kento, Shizu?” She nodded and walked ahead, “... You won't tell anyone right... about my brother....or me being his step sister/ ex-maid/ assistant?”
“... Of course not...” he stated. “I would never release your secret. It's safe with me.” She smiled, “Thanks... I'll see ya tomorrow.” He nodded as she followed after Shizu.

“It's been FOREVER since we've had a slumber party!” Shizu smiled happily as she laid an extra mat for Aya next to hers. “I'm so glad you're spending the night with us! Oh, don't you think you should call your parents... before they send a missing person ad to the police...”
“Haha, that would be a good idea.” she said grabbing her phone. “Mom... hey, sorry I worried you and Dad-- ah, I'm at Shizu's... AH! Wait... don't tell Yu--- Um, Nii-kun. We got into a big argument which is why I left... yea. I'll stay here for a while. Mhmm.. ok. Night.”
“So... Nii-kun... is he cute?” Shizu questioned. She giggled, “I thought you were only interested in celebrities... not older brothers.” She smiled, “True, true... I just wanted to know.” She sighed, “Well, I guess he can be cute, when he keeps his mouth shut.”
“Haha, so he's really talkative...”
“And demanding.” she added. “Anyways. I'm tired, so let's head to bed.” Shizu nodded as she did.

“Aya? Why are you up so early?” Shizu questioned as she came down for breakfast. She was still in her pajamas as Aya was already for school. She was cooking food as she said, “Oh... I guess it's a force of habit...Damn, now I got an hour of free time before we leave for school...”
“Wait did you make bentos for all of us too?!~” She said happily staring at the food. “OH god! I should've had you move in years ago!” She smiled, “Haha, well that one's yours. And I just finished making breakfast, so enjoy.”
“You are seriously the most amazing friend I've ever had!!!” she said as she ate the food in happiness. And in an hour, the girls headed off to school. 3 days passed and it was always the same: Aya waking up super early to make food in the morning, walking to school with Shizu, meeting up with Kento, Shizu and Kento's morning argument, class, avoiding Yuto, lunch with Kento (or Shizu-switches off every day), and going home with Shizu.
Yes, I had to avoid Yuto during school... every time he spotted me somewhere, he rushed over to talk to me, but I.. I'm done with him. I don't want anything to do with him anymore. So he should just leave me alone...However that Friday, it was a little different.

“Kya~!” girls screamed during lunch as Kento groaned, “Damn, can't you all shut up?!” A book came in contact with his face as Aya shot up, “Kento! Are you alright?!” He rubbed his face and nodded, “Yea... I'll live--”
“Aya.” they heard as she turned. Keito stood before her as Shizu squealed next to her, “Keito remembers you!!”
“Can I talk to you for a moment?” he wondered. She looked around at everyone staring at her. She gave him a look as if asking him if its about Yuto. He shook his head as she followed him out to an isolated area.
“So what's up?”
“...is it true you moved out?” he wondered as she nodded. “Yea--”
“So where are you staying?”
“....I dunno... I don't wanna end up finding Yuto standing outside my window....” she said suspiciously. He told her, “Relax... I won't tell him. He probably doesn't even know I'm talking to you right now...” She thought, “I'm just staying at a friends okay?” He nodded, “So... you quit?” She nodded as he asked, “As his assistant too?” She nodded again. He sighed, “Well, this gets interesting...”
“What do you mean?” she wondered. HE smiled, “Nothing much... He's really getting what he deserves huh?” She nodded confidently, “Definitely! That jerk should learn that if he treats a girl like how he treated me, she won't bother sticking around.”
“Yet, you did... for 12 years.”
“Yea, but he's been at his worst lately...” she told him with a pout. “I could put up with him, but not like this. He's like trying to take over my life.” He shrugged, “I don't know Aya... truthfully, I don't think he can get any worse than how he was with us the evening you left. He started off really silent, then went on a rampage.”
“What?” she said surprised. “No way! Him? On a rampage at work?! That would never happen. He's like...well most of the time, at his nicest... even when ordering me around. You all bring out the best in him.”
“Well, not then. I'm not sure what happened with you two, but Yuto wasn't happy about it either.” he explained as she thought and argue, “Well it's probably because he doesn't have me to order around anymore--”
“Really? That's what you think?” he gave her a look. She thought again, “Well, what else could it be?”
“Look, I've know Yuto for a while. Not as long as you, but there's a side he has with just us guys. A side you haven't seen. I know he's always a jerk to you... but he really needs you. Not just to assist him or cook for him, but just to be with him. I guess... you sort of keep him sane... and not breaking things that aren't his.”
“What?” she questioned. He pointed to his headphones around his neck. “He busted them before I came over to talk to you. I got pretty pissed at him and I just had to tell you.”
“... well I'm sorry Keito, but I'm not going back to him.” she stated. “Knowing him, this should die down soon...” He groaned, “Well, I'll take your word for it...” The school bell rang as she said, “I should head back...” He nodded, “Same here. Ah, here. Take this. Just in case anyone asks why I pulled you out.” He handed her 4 HSJ tickets as he smiled, “It might be fun... to get a new view of the concert right?” She smiled, “Thanks Keito. I'll see ya around.” He nodded as she took off.

“Oh thank god!” Keito heard as he returned to class. Yamada asked, “So did you get to talk to her?!” He nodded as he looked to see Yuto, finally quiet, sleeping in his chair. He sighed, “I told her about everything, but she doesn't want to go back.” Chinen groaned, “Man, I get why though... Yuto's scary when he's in a bad mood.” Yamada nodded, “I know... she's tougher than I thought. If he was like this with me all the time, I don't think we would've stayed friends...”
“But the thing is that Aya's never seen him this bad.” Keito said. “None of us have... I guess he's just not used to not having Aya around...” Yamada sighed, “Well, we've gotta fix this soon... did you give her the tickets?” He nodded as Chinen said, “Let's see if we could do anything then... That's probably the only chance we've got...”

“WELL?!~” Shizu and all the other girls crowded around Aya as she came back in. “WHAT HAPPENED?!~ HE'S IN LOVE WITH YOU ISN'T HE?!!! AH!! AYA YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!!”
“...uh... no.” she told her as went through then and joined Kento back for lunch. “Eh?! You ate it all?!” He smiled a bit, “Sorry... It was really good though...” She said, “I'm glad I made two--”
“More?! Awesome!” Kento cheered as she gave him a look, “For me Kento. Not you... you already had enough.” He chuckled, “Aww--”
“Move it!” Shizu said pushing him outta his chair. “Aya! What happened with Keito?!” She responded as she helped Kento up, “Nothing ok--”
“Come on! Something had to happen if he came to talk to you.” she explained. She whispered, “I'll tell you at home okay? Not right now...” She groaned as Kento said, “You can get outta my seat now...” She glared, but did.

“Man... I totally forgot that today is my day for clean up...” Aya said as did Kento. He responded, “Sorry Aya, but there's no way I can do all the cleaning by myself...” She nodded as they moved all the desk to the back and began sweeping.
“...Hmm...” Keito said as he left his classroom. He spotted Yuto staring into Aya's classroom where she and her boyfriend were playing around as they cleaned.
“Ah~! Kento!” she screamed as the water hit her. “You're getting me wet!!” She attacked back with playful giggles. Keito saw Yuto's pained face as he clenched his fist. He was about to head over to her as he called, “I wouldn't do that Yuto.”
“Buzz off Keito.” he said. “I have to talk--”
“Just give her some space... you're only gonna get her angry.” he explained.
“Well, she's been making me angry--”
“It isn't always about you Yuto. You can't always have things the way you want it and that's what she's trying to show you.” he explained. “Just let her cool off.” He sighed and watched the two. He glared, “That kid's been stirring up trouble... I think it's time I get even with him.”

“AHHH~!!! AYA I FREAKING LOVE YOU!!!”Shizu squealed happily as the girls took off that Saturday morning. Haruka and Reila had meet up with Shizu and Aya at the mall as Reila said, “I really think Keito has a thing for you. Why else would he invite you to come to HSJ's concert again and for free! Not to mention these are front row seats!”
“He does not have a crush on me...” Aya sighed as they looked through Hey! Say! JUMP t-shirts.
“Sure he doesn't...” Haruka laughed sarcastically. She handed her a shirt, “You should wear this one, Aya~” She blushed as she saw the Okamoto Keito shirt, “Guys, seriously! I'm dating Kento and I do not like celebrities!”
“Come on... you know we're just messing with you.” Shizu giggled as she said, “Well it's getting old.”
“Fine... we'll cut down on the teasing... but you have to wear a shirt this time!” Reila told her. She groaned, “Aw, come on--”
“Well pick for you if you don't pick one.” Shizu told her as she then grabbed a plain purple 'I ♥ Hey! Say! JUMP' shirt and smiled, “Okay, ready when you girls are...” Shizu sighed, “Well, close enough...” After a few hours, Aya left for her quick date with Kento.
“So you're babysitting again tonight?” Aya asked as he nodded, “Yea, my cousin's parents are always busy so it's up to make sure she's always fine. Not to mention they pay good money for it...” She smiled, “Well I'm sure that babysitting money helps, but what's your true secret behind your wealth huh?”
“Haha, if I tell it won't be a secret anymore...” he laughed as she did, “Ah come on~ Share the info! Don't you want your girlfriend to be able to make money and support herself?” He nodded, “Of course... just not the way I make money...” She gave him a suspicious look, “Kento if you're secretly a host, I swear I'll---”
“Hell no! Aya, why would you even think that?!” he quickly said as she sighed in relief, “Sorry, I just thought the worse when you said that...” He replied, “Well don't worry... I'm totally faithful to you.” She smiled, “Thanks...”
“Ah! It's already 4!” he said shooting up. “Sorry Aya. I need to get to my cousin's already.”
“Oh... ok. Then I'll see you on Monday.” she said as she waved goodbye to him.

“AH! I love these seats!!!” Shizu squealed. “Best view of the concert ever! Aya I'm sooo glad to be your best friend!” She smiled, “Same here.” Haruka then screamed, “It's starting!!!”
“See her?” Yamada asked as he approached Keito staring out at the crowd. He nodded, “Right in the front row... is Yuto still rampaging in the dressing room?” He nodded, “He should be done by the time we go on... Say 5 minutes.” Keito sighed, “Well, this still hasn't blown over... we seriously need Aya back.”

“Minna~! HEY! SAY! JUMP!” the jr. introduced as everyone screamed. HSJ emerged and began singing 'Dreams Come True'. The songs they sang varied from 'Your Seed' to 'Memories' to 'Arigatou Sekai no Doko Ni Itemo'. Aya was happily singing along to all the songs as Shizu smiled, “You're having a good time.”
“Yea~ This is so much better than the view back there! Why are you guys so excited back there when the view is much better here?!” Reila whacked her, “Well back there we actually get to hang out with the stars.” She rubbed her head as she sighed, “You girls are too hung up on them...”
“But Yuto's acting a lil different don't you think?” Haruka stated. “He seems... out of it...” Shizu nodded, “Maybe he's just tired...” Aya thought, “... nah, Yuto's fine. He's just not used to managing on his own...” Soon they began singing 'Deep Night Kimi Omou'. As Aya sang along with them, HSJ separated through the stadium as Aya then sang,
~Mayonaka reijite todokanai merri go round~
That's when she noticed that Yuto was singing right in front of her. He saw her as he suddenly stopped singing. They two stared at each other as Aya then shook outta it, “..Uh.. I-I gotta go to the restroom...” She rushed off as Yuto watched and soon returned backstage.
“What the hell is Aya doing here?!” Yuto growled as Yamada and the others returned to the back with him. Keito shrugged, “How are we suppose to know?” He groaned, “Crap, now I can't freaking focus anymore!!” He ferociously took off his shirt, changing into the next outfit. Yabu told him, “Yuto, I've had enough of these tantrums! We all have! Keep your problems from home away from work, alright?!”
“Urgh...” he groaned sitting in his chair. The other members left him alone as he thought, “... This could be my chance...” He quickly went off and smiled as he saw the new band BI Shadow getting ready for their part of the concert.

“... man..” Aya sighed as she walked back towards the stadium. “Freaking Yuto... trying to mess with me again...”
~Fight all night, fight all night~
“Hmm...” she heard the music. “Who's voices are those... isn't this KAT-TUN's song??” She entered the stadium as she saw a bunch of boys in the middle of the stage. It wasn't JUMP for sure, but she couldn't see their faces. As she returned to her seat she asked, “Hey? Who are these guys?”
“BI Shadow! The new band! Man turn this way so we can see your faces!!” Shizu called as they all turned for their moves. Surprise looks appeared on the four girls faces as Aya stared, trying to deny what she was seeing. The guy soon spotted her as he stopped moving. His voice ceased as the rest of his band turned to him, yet continuing to sing. His name escaped Aya's mouth, “Kento... why... didn't you tell me...” He shook it off and continued to sing as Aya turned away and told Shizu, “Hey, I'm really tired... so I'm gonna head home already ok?”
“... Will you be ok?” she asked worried. She nodded, “yea. I'll see you.” She rushed off thinking, “What the hell, Kento?! You know I don't really like celebrities! Why wouldn't you tell me about this secret?!! Why did you hide it from me?!” Tears formed in her eyes as she ran when she ran right into someone.
“... so... You saw him?” she heard as she wiped her eyes to see Yuto. She bit her lips as he said, “Seriously...don't waste your tears on him--” She interrupted, “You knew.. You knew about him and you didn't tell me?!”
“I tried you know...” he stated. “It's not my fault if you didn't see him the last concert.”
“Urgh! Why would he lie to me about this?!” she cried. “Doesn't he trust me?!” She turned to him, “And why didn't you just tell me?! Why did you keep it from me too?!”
“Hey, don't be pinning this all on me...” he said. “I was just trying to spare your feelings--”
“Well do they look spared to you?!” she responded as he sighed, “Look, if anyone's to blame its that boyfriend of yours--”
“Just leave me alone...” she sighed as she began walking off. Yuto followed after as she groaned, “Would you buzz off?! The last thing I need is a stalker right now.”
“I'm not stalking you...” he said calmingly as he walked next to her. “I just want to make sure you get home safely...”
“Since when do you care?”
“... do you really think I'm that heartless...”
“No, it's just how you usually are with me...” she responded. “Just get back to your concert. Your fans will be disappointed if you don't show...” He shrugged, “Well, just this once, they're gonna need to be...”
“...just go.” she told him. “I can take care of myself and these concerts are too important to you.”
“Aya, just let me make sure you get home. I'll go back after...” he said.
“By the time we get there the concert will be over...” she replied as he offered, “then let's take my car.” She sighed, “You aren't gonna give up are you?” He shook his head as he approached his car, “So, would you rather walk?” She sighed and walked over as he held the door open for her. She got in as he closed it and got into the driver's seat.
“So, what's the directions...” he asked. She pointed it out and eventually she returned to Shizu's. She said, “Thanks... Yuto. And sorry I made you miss your concert.” He shrugged, “It's cool. I was screw up the entire time anyways.”
“... you were just having an off day.” she smiled a bit. “Well... Good night.”
“Night.” he said as she entered the house and he drove off. She sighed, “... Well he's being strangely sweet--” Her phone goes off as she sees Kento's caller ID. She just stares at it as it soon goes to voice mail. She sighed and in a few hours the girls arrive home for a slumber party.
“Aya, we now approve of your relationship with Kento~!” Reila and Haruka said happily as they chatted that morning. “I don't get why we didn't see it before, but Kento really is cute... I guess we don't notice it until guys are up on stage in the technicolor lights.”
“...uh... ok...” she said.
“Well I still don't approve of him!” Shizu growled. “How can an idiot like him be a celebrity! No I will not accept that! Not to mention that he hid this from you and hurt you! That jerk! I swear I'm gonna beat him the minute I see that annoying face of his!” Aya sighed, “Calm down Shizu... I just need some time to calm down about him.... that's all--” Her phone began ringing again as Reila told her, “Just talk to him... work this out. Otherwise that phone won't stop ringing.”
“Oh I'll make it stop!” Shizu groaned grabbing it. She answered, “Kento! Leave her alone already!! Stop calling!!” She quickly hung up as she smiled, “There. Taken care--” It rang again as she growled, “I said--”
“Wrong person...” she heard as she stared at the caller ID. 'Stupid Jerk!'. She turned to Aya, “Hey, Kento's caller ID is 'stupid jerk' right?” Aya quickly grabbed the phone and shut it as she said, “That's Yut-- my brother!”
“Ah! Sorry!” Shizu said as he called again.
“I'll be right back...” she said walking outside the house. “What?”
“What was all that about...” he wondered as she responded, “Nothing... what are you calling for? You could've been caught by Shizu...”
“... yea. Sorry.” he stated. She then asked, “Damn... Keito was right. Something is wrong with you... You're acting sweeter and you're actually apologizing for what you did?”
“...You talked with Keito?” he wondered as she nodded, “Yea. He told me what a mess you were. Rampaging everywhere and always to yourself... It's not like you.” He replied, “I guess... I've been really outta it lately.”
“... I have to admit... so have I... things are different now... a lot different, but I think it's for the better...” she explained as he asked, “Really? For the better...” She thought, “Well... I guess for me at least... anyways, did you have a reason for calling?”
“Yea, actually...” he responded. “.. Can I ask you for a favor?” She thought, “Depends on what it is...”
“Uh...I have plans today and Raiya wants to go out. Do you mind taking him?” he asked. She thought, “Hmm, I dunno. The girls and I are hanging out right now... If he wants I can get him after school tomorrow... we can hang out then.”
“Oh, alright... I'll let him know...” he told her as she asked, “Is that it?” There was a pause of silence as he said, “Yea.. I guess I'll see you around..” She replied, “Alright, I--”
“Aya, can we please talk!” she heard as she saw Kento outside Shizu's gate. She closed her phone and went back inside as he called, “Aya! Come on!” The door slammed behind her as she saw Shizu running down with a bat in her hand.
“That jerk is a freaking stalker now!” she said heading for the door. “I'll make him leave...”
“Shizu, calm down. No need to get violent.” she said blocking her. She pouted, “Fine, but if he's still here in an hour I get to chase him off.”
“Aya! Please! Let me explain!” Kento shouted to the window. Shizu groaned opening it, “Nakajima! I'm warning you. You had better leave before I bring the bat out!”
“Just let me talk to Aya and I'll leave.” he responded.
“She doesn't want to hear that annoying voice of yours-Ow! Aya!” she groaned as a pillow hit her head.
“Aya! Come on!” Kento pleaded.
“Just get outta here!” Shizu yelled slamming her window shut. “Geez, clingy types are soo annoying!” After a few hours of girl talk, makeovers, and karaoke, Haruka stated, “Aya, he's still out there... maybe you should talk to him. I feel bad for the guy.”
“No! That what he wants us to think!” Shizu stated. “Making us feel sorry for him... don't fall for it Aya!”
“Aww come on..” Reila said. “He's your boyfriend. You can't just ignore him for the rest of your life...”
“... for the next few days I can...” she sighed. “If he hadn't kept that a secret then we wouldn't be having this problem right now...”
“But don't you think he hid that from you because you wouldn't like him?” Reila told her. “The only way he could was to pretend he was a regular guy...”
“He is a regular guy... hiding his famous side...” she sighed. “I know he hid it for me, but he shouldn't have hid it at all. That's a part of him and in a relationship you should know the person you're dating...”
“Come on. I'm sure he doesn't know everything about you...” Haruka told her. “You can't expect him to tell all his secrets when he doesn't know you.”
“... True..” she thought. “But... I still need a few days to calm down about this...”
“I agree... and maybe a few years will work too--” Shizu said as a pillow came in contact with her face. “AYA! CANT I VOICE MY OPINIONS?!!”
“Hey, he's finally going...” Reila said as Kento stood up from the ground and gave a sad look towards them, “Awww! Aya! Get out there and talk to him!”
“Not right now, Rei.” she said.
“Aya!” Kento soon called. “Please talk to me...”
“He sounds really desperate..” Haruka told her. Then he continued, “...I'll be back in the morning then... okay? I'll walk you to school...”
“Hell no!” Shizu yelled at him. “If I see you out here tomorrow morning I swear I'll call the police on you!”
“... Then I'll talk to you at school...” he sighed as he walked off.
“Ow!” Aya groaned as Haruka and Reila attacked her with pillows. “What the hell--”
“You are so heartless! The poor guy was waiting out here practically all day and you just ignored him?!!”
“Okay, he wasn't that nice either!” Aya argued. “Seriously... Let me handle my problems the way I want to handle them.” They sighed as Shizu nodded, “Yea guys... think about how she's feeling too. It's not always about Kento...” She sat by her best friend and said, “If you need me to pound him let me know okay?”
“... thanks Shizu, but I don't think that's needed.” she smiled a bit.
“Well we should probably get home...” Haruka stated as Reila nodded. “We'll see you guys tomorrow.” They nodded and left.
