A talk with an old friend

"Argh!!!That Yuya! Can't he leave me alone?" Linda frowned deeply.

She turned towards the huge dolpin that Yamapi won for her. She flopped herself on the bed, hugging the stuffed toy to herself tightly. "Ne, what do I name you?" she asked the dolphin.

"How about P-chan? Do you like it, P-chan?" she asked the dolphin.

She grinned as she moved the dolphin's head to imagine that it was as if the dolphin agreed to the name. "Ureshii! Suki dayo?" she kissed the dolphin's beak, forgetting about the fight with Yuya.

Suddenly, her handphone rang. The song, "Naniwa Iroha Bushi" filled the air. Linda's face immediately lit up. She grabbed her phone. "Chibi-chan!" she greeted happily.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?" the person over the phone growled.

Linda chuckled. "What's up?" she asked.

"The sky," the person answered.

Linda sweatdropped. "Ne, it's not funny," Linda replied with a bored voice.

He roared with laughter over his cold joke. "Gomen. I am bored so I called you," he answered.

"Oh, now, I am an entertainer?" she asked.

"Yes! Now then you realize?" he teased.

Linda sighed. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked suddenly.

"Nothing," she replied, forlornly.

"I know you too well. I'll meet you tomorrow at 2pm at the usual place. The person who comes late will have to give a treat. Ja!" he replied and hung up.

Linda was used to his sudden hang up. Typical, Chibi-chan, she mused. She hugged the dolphin tightly and drifted off to sleep ignoring Yuya's knocking.

Chibi-chan was Linda's best friend when they were in middle school. When Chibi-chan moved back to Osaka, they still kept in contact till now. They relationship was so closed yet private. No one knew about them, not even Yuya or Yuki.

The next day, Linda went off to work without eating breakfast or even greeting anyone. Yuya looked up from the table and called his sister but she just ignored him. Yuya ran after her. "Nee-chan!" he grabbed her arm.

Linda glared at him. "I'm sorry," he apologized.

"Sorry? You are sorry? Leave me alone, Tegoshi Yuya," Linda replied coldly and left.

Yuya stared after his sister. He felt upset that his sister treated him that way. He just wanted the best for her.He walked back, feeling dejected.

Linda, on the other hand, felt something hot running down her cheeks. She wiped away the liquid and realized that she was crying. She loved her brother alot but he was just too much, trying to control her life like that. She knew her brother was trying to keep an eye on her but she just felt so suffocated and confused.

Later at 2pm, she was waiting for her friend, staring into space. "Konbanwa!" her friend greeted her but she was too absorbed in her thoughts that she did not hear him.

He shook his head. He patted her. She practically jumped in her seat. "Chibi-chan!" she exclaimed.

He chuckled as he slid into the seat opposite her. "Where are you just now? Planet M18? Met with your family down there? Ultraseven, Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna..." he trailed off.

Linda kicked him on his shin. "Itai! Ne, don't zap me with your power!" he teased again, shielding his face with his hands.

Linda glared at him. If looks could kill, he would have died on that spot. "Ok,ok. What happened?" he asked, looking serious.

Linda looked at him. "Let's order first. I want fish and chips. And you are late so, YOU are treating me today," Linda grinned.

He nodded his head in defeat. "You are terrible! You should know that I am always late because I often get held up at work," he grumbled as he called the waitress.

"Blah, blah blah. Chibi-chan, don't be so stingy, ok? You are with News and Kanjani8. And your income is so, so, much and you still grumble to treat an old friend? Fine, I'll pay my share ok? Like as if I eat a lot. Yamashita-kun is better than you," Linda retorted.

"Fine, fine. I'll treat you today. I was just joking. Why are you so short-tempered today? Are you in that time of the month?" he asked.

A whack in the head by the menu was Linda's reply to him. "I'll get the answer," he mumbled.

When their food had arrived, he asked her again. "What's wrong?" he enquired.

"It's my brother," she answered.

"Yuya?" he asked.

She nodded. "Ever since he found me, he had been on my back 24/7! Asking me where am I? Who am I with, What time I get back and etc. It's terrible! He is much worse than Mom! My life changed 360 degrees! Not only that, he even dared to control who I see and who I cannot see! Isn't that terrible?" she asked him.

He was trying not to laugh. He could not imagine the innocent-looking Yuya Tegoshi was actually a control-freak when it comes to his sister. "So desu ka. So what are you going to do to him?" he asked.

He watched as Linda took the knife and stabbed it into the fish. "What am I going to do? I'm going to kill him. Cut him up into pieces like this and dispose it all over Japan. And you can be my driver," Linda replied, cutting up the fish into small tiny pieces.

He stared at her in silence as she cut the fish up furiously. "Are you feeling better?" he asked after some time.

Linda looked up and breathed a sigh of relief. She grinned. "Yup! That irritating, annoying, control-freak squirt!He even dared to get angry when I went out with Yamashita-kun. I mean, Yuya was the one to ask him out and when Yamashita-kun accompanied me, he flared up. I really don't get him, " she said as she ate the pieces one by one.

He laughed and shook his head. "You went out with Yamapi? Do you like him?" he asked.

Linda looked thoughtful. "Hmm...Yes, I do. As a friend. No special feelings," she answered.

He raised his eyesbrows. "Linda-chan, what's wrong with you? You refused to marry Shuji Kiritani, a CEO of the multinational company selling those gadgets. He was so smitten with you ever since high school. Then now, I have a feeling that Yamapi have special feelings for you but you do not want to accept him," he pointed out.

"You can't force me to love Kiritani. I know he's handsome and is the most popular guy in school and stuff but I just can't lie to myself and force myself to marry him. As for Yamashita-kun, I do not want to get killed by girls all over the world for disappointing him," Linda explained.

He shook his head. "Are you in love with anyone?" he asked.

Linda looked at him in the eye, looking serious. "Yes, I am," she replied.

He looked surprised. "Who?" he asked.

Linda answered, "You."

He choked and stared at her, stunned. Linda took her handphone and snapped his surprised look. She laughed. He snapped. "I'm just joking! I'm not in love with you or anyone. You should see your face!" she roared with laughter.

"Linda-chan! You!" he gritted his teeth.

When he drove her back home, Linda asked him about his date. "How are things going with Leah?" she asked.

"Oh, she's great," he grinned.

Linda chuckled. "She's so beautiful. Even I am in love with her," she said.

He braked his car suddenly. "WHAT?" he asked.

Linda laughed again. "She's pretty. I like her. As in a role model. What do you think I am? Lesbian?" she asked.

"Who knows?" he retorted, getting a whack from Linda.

"Take care on the road. Good luck with Leah!" Linda smiled and got off the car.

He nodded and watched as she entered her house. He decided to have a word with Yuya the when he see him later for rehearsal.

Linda stepped into the house. No one was home. She looked at the time. It was only 9pm. Yuki had gone to work while Yuya had rehearsals. She breathed a sigh of relief because no one was there to bug her.

Linda closed the bedroom door behind her. She slid down the door. She was unable to contain her tears. She buried her face into her thighs and sobbed hard. "The reason I cannot accept Shuji and Yamashita is because of you,Nishikido Ryo. I love you," she whispered.

yuya & yuki 5 (+ theme park)

Yuya felt uneasy seeing Yamapi trying to get close to his sister. His attitude irks yuki but yuki know that he is concerned about Linda. So yuki decided to let this matter go.

Yuki and yuya moved from the kitchen and decided to wait outside Linda's door. Initially, there were some meddling noises but after awhile, it went silence. Yuya showed yuki his watch indicating the last 1 min of their bet. Yuki thot she was losing the bet and was thinking of the punishments yuya had planned for her.

Being unable to stand the silence anymore and yuya decided to call yamapi's hp as he was scared the latter had fallen asleep too. Both of them heard the ringing of yamapi's phone and all of a sudden, a scream was heard.

They opened the door to linda's room and saw that yamapi was rubbing his leg. Yamapi was groaning in pain and yuya and yuki was laughing at his expression.

Everyone was at the dining table eating the breakfast yuya and yuki bought. Yuya put yuki's favorite food, unagi, on her plate while yuki put ebi on his. Linda and yamapi were looking at both of them being so close. They on the other hand were oblivious to the stares they get from linda and yamapi

"Ano, can I ask you guyz something?" linda suddenly asked both yuya and yuki. They stopped eating and focused on Linda. Yamapi was looking at linda and had guessed that linda was having the same doubts as he did.

" nee-chan, wads wrong? You feel unwell?"
yuya asked.

"are the 2 of you together ?" linda asked pointing her chopstick at yuya and yuki.

'Yes' and 'No' was heard from yuki and yuya respectively. Then they changed their answers again making the already suspicious Linda more suspicious. Yuya and yuki laughed when they heard their own answers and were looking at each other in an affectionate way.

The truth finally sinked into Linda’s head and she asked a string of question without pausing to take a breath. Yamapi was beginning to accept the news but was amused by Linda's expression.

Yuya was startled by his sister's reaction that he juz nod to show his reply. Linda kept blabbering about how her kid brother, yuya, is slowly becoming an adult. From yuya expression, yuki can sensed that he was kinda of annoyed by the words linda use to describe him. Unable to control her laughter, she laughed loudly at yuya's expression. Yuya look at the laughing yuki who immediately keep quiet but cant hide the smile on her face.

"are you fine with our relationship, nee-chan?" yuya asked linda with his pleading look. Yuya was holding onto yuki's hand under the table.

"No! I'm not! Get me a boyfriend first before you two get together," she answered. When yuki heard her answer, she hold yuya's hand harder and pointed at Yamapi using her free hand.

"Well, Yamashita-kun is available, ne?"Yuki asked.The three of the looked at Yuki. "Nani?" Yamapi choked on his food.

"Linda-chan, I've found a suitable boyfriend for you. He's sitting beside you," Yuki grinned cheekily.

Linda continued eating her food and rebuked yuki by saying that she was just joking.

"yuki, you mean he with my nee-chan. I cant imagine that." Yuya keep shaking his head.

After breakfast, yuya and yamapi have to rush to work. yuki and linda were looking at the guyz from the window when yuki remembered her bet with yuya.

"yuya-chan, don't forget you lost to me. Haha.. you have to listen to me for a week. ja ne.

"oh dear, I forgot abt it."
Yuya scratched his head and look at yuki in a sad way. *yuki making silly faces at yuya*"


Yamapi was waving to Linda then he called out yuki's name.

"tanaka-san, dun wory.. I will make sure tesshi remember his bet and thanks for everything. Sayonara everyone." Yuya hit yamapi on his shoulder and got into the car.

While in the car, yuya suddenly looked at yamapi seriously.
"pi-chan, plz dun tel the rest abt mi and yuki. Ok? Plz?"

"I will agree but you must tell mi y though."
Yamapi said to yuya.

" well, I wanna surprise everyone by bringing yuki to our workplace. Guess, I just wanna see the shocked face on everyone when they see her *imagining the scene*. But I’m still curious about what’s going on with you and my nee-chan."


"tesshi, if you gonna probe further about mi and your sister, I will leak out your secret" both of them continued on their journey in silence.

[ during the recording of their album ]


" can I take a break, watanabe-san? I would like to take my lunch
*grinning*"masuda takahisa aka massu begged the producer.

"alrite guyz, take a 15 mins break. We have to rush for time." Watanabe Aita said to the guyz who were rushing to their bentos.

Yuya was busy msging yuki and was not listening to the conversation that was going on.

"tesshi, aren't you gonna eat? Or there is something you are hiding from all of us?" koyama was trying to grab hold of yuya's hp and the latter was trying hard to hide it into his pants.


" by the way, who was that girl yesterday? the one who fall on top of me?" asked koyama and the rest were puzzled.

“ Iie, nothing. it is just my nee-chan's roommate. I’m serious.. there is nothing.. come on lets eat. Time is running out." yuya tried to end the topic.

[yuya hp rang]

Yuya excused himself and went to a corner and was talking so softly that the rest cant hear the conversation.

"yuki-chan, you wanna go to the theme park tomorrow? Um, so far I have nothing on but I will confirm with you later. by the way, what are you having for dinner?"

"oic, I want that miso soup. It is must be delicious. How is nee-chan? Did she bug you for details abt us? Haha, dun tell her anything ,let her be curious. Chotto matte ne, *asking yamapi if they have anything up for tomorrow* yuki-chan, I think I can make it tomorrow.. can we ask nee-chan along? I'm scared she will be bored at home. Ok, see ya tomorrow yuki-chan. Sweet dreams and sleep tight. Oyasumi yuki-chan. Cant wait to see you tomorrow.byebye.."

NEWS continued with their recording till the wee hours and they decided to stay at the company for the night.

[ next day ]

All of them were getting ready to leave when yuya's hp rang.

"yuki-chan, did you have a good nite slp? Ok, I'm ready soon. I guess I will meet you at the entrance of the theme park in an hrs time. ja ne"

Yamapi heard yuya's conversation and asked yuya if they are going to the theme park. Yuya told yamapi that linda was going and yamapi decided to tag along though he dun fancy the idea of going to the theme park.


[ at themepark]

"Yamashita-san!" Linda greeted him, she was happy that she will not stuck with the lovebirds. Yamapi and linda proceeded to the entrance of the theme park and forget that yuya and yuki's tickets were with them.

"Yuya-chan, I think we have to buy another pair. Let them enjoy themselves.. come on, they are old enough to take care of themselves." Yuya nod his head and went to buy the tickets.

When yuya was walking back to where yuki was standing, he saw yuki helping this kid who had fall while running around. He just stood there and looked at her. yuya walked to her and held her hands and started to run. Both of them ran to the entrance while holding each other hands firmly.

" yuki-chan, what do you wanna play?" yuya asked yuki who was looking at the roller coaster. "you wanna play that?, lets go then" they ran to join the queue hand in hand.

After playing almost all the rides, the couple decided to take a rest and enjoy the beautiful sunset. Yuya suggest to go on the ferris wheel so that they can view the beautiful scenery of Tokyo.

Yuya put his hands on yuki's shoulder and both of them look so blissful. When the ride ends, yuya and yuki went to the game stalls. Yuki cant take her eyes off a stuffed bear. Yuya decided to win that bear for her. after a couple of attempts, yuya won 2 stuffed bears. The female one will be for him while the male is for yuki.

"Are you happy today yuki?"

*yuki use the bear’s hand to touch yuya's nose*. She hugged yuya and gave he give her a kiss on her forehead. They have been playing for more than 3 hrs and decided to head home as they are dead beat. Yamapi's hp cant get thru and when yuya kol linda it was diverted to her voice mail. Yuya was fuming and yuki tried to pacify him.

[ at yuki and linda's apartment ]

Yuki decided to cook dinner as it have been 2 hrs and they were still unable to get thru Linda's or yamapi's hp. The door opened at that moment and linda went in.

"nee-chan, where have you been? Do you know I was worried when I can't get thru your hp or pi-chan hp!" yuya shouted at Linda who was shocked at yuya’s behavior.


"tegoshi yuya, you better watch your attitude here. I'm old enough to take care of myself. I don't want you to meddle with my life. You get it." Linda reprimanded Yuya. Yuki was at the kitchen and did not know how to ease the tense situation.

Linda then stormed into her room.

A day at the themepark-Linda and Yamapi's version

Yamapi headed to Linda’s room. Yuya and Yuki were peering over the kitchen to look at what was going to happen. They waited anxiously when Yamapi entered the room, as they could not see what happen in the room. Yuki and Yuya went over outside the room and tried to listen to the conversation in the room.

Yamapi looked around the room. His eyes caught a huge poster of Akanishi Jin. He scowled. He stood in front of the poster. “What are YOU doing here?” he asked.

He saw DVDs of Akanishi’s drama and Kat-tun albums. “Is there not a single one about News? All are Arashi or Kat-tun,” he murmured, feeling a twinge of jealousy.

As he was meddling with Linda’s CD collection, he saw a photograph of her family. “Ah, Yuya! What is he doing in the photograph? Oh ya, he is her brother. Silly me,” he chuckled at his stupidity.

“Ah! She has my drama! Long Love letter. Haha…” he grinned, happy to know that she did watch his works.

Yamapi stood staring at Linda who was curled up under the quilt, sleeping peacefully. He sat next to her and felt for her temperature. “Great! She’s fine,” he muttered under his breath.

Yamapi brought his face closer to her to see her in a closer range. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed him by his neck. “Ureshii… So warm,” she mumbled.

Apparently, Linda had mistaken him for her bolster and had hugged him tightly. Yamapi lay still for a few minutes.

Yuya and Yuki were wondering what happened in the room. They heard some meddling noises and then suddenly everything was quiet. “Do you think Yamapi had fallen asleep too?” Yuya asked.

“Eh? I do not think so,” Yuki shook her head.

“But it’s so quiet in there. And it’s been quite some time too. I’ll call him,” Yuya replied, dialing Yamapi’s number.

Suddenly, Yamapi’s phone rang loudly. “Kuso! Who is calling me? I can’t reach my phone,” he thought.

Linda stirred when she heard the sound. She opened her eyes and saw Yamapi’s huge eyes staring at her.

“Ohayo,” Yamapi greeted.

“Ohayo,” she replied, smiling at him.
They stared at each other. Things started to sink into Linda’s head slowly. “Chotto! What are you doing here? In my bed?” she screamed, pushing him out of the bed in reflex action.

Yamapi fell onto the floor with a loud thud. He grimaced. “Itai!” he groaned.

Yuya and Yuki opened the door when they heard the loud noise and Linda’s scream. They laughed when they saw the scene. “Yamapi, are you ok?” Yuya asked.

“Yeah, I’m ok. She sure do have a lot of strength for a small sized girl,” Yamapi complained.

At the dining table, Yamapi and Linda were staring at the interaction between Yuya and Yuki. They watched at Yuya gave Yuki some food and Yuki gave Yuya some food and etc. “Ano, can I ask you a question?” Linda asked suddenly.

Yuya and Yuki looked at her. “Are the two of you together?” she asked.

The two of them blushed. “No” Yuya said but Yuki said “Yes”. Then they looked at each other and changed their answer. “Yes,” Yuya said but Yuki said, “No.” Then Yuki and Yuya looked at each other again and laughed.

Linda and Yamapi were puzzled by their answer. They too looked at each other. As the reality started to sink into Linda’s head, she shrieked. “Chotto matte kudasai! Chotto matte kudasai!” Linda cried.

All of them looked at her. “The two of you…the two of you are together? Together? Dating? Boyfriend and girlfriend? Going out with each other? Love each other? Like each other? Together? MAJIDE??” Linda asked a string of questions.

Yuya nodded slowly, amused by his sister’s slow reaction. “Yes, we are together,” he said.

“Nooo! It can’t be! How can you, my sweet, innocent, busy, irritating, annoying, pesky, idiotic little brother has a relationship before his sister?” Linda wailed.

Yuya looked annoyed by the words she described him but amused by her sister’s reaction. “Well, are you fine with our relationship?” Yuya asked.

“No! I’m not! Get me a boyfriend first before you two get together,” she answered.

“Well, Yamashita-kun is available, ne?” Yuki asked.

The three of the looked at Yuki. “Nani?” Yamapi choked on his food.

“Linda-chan, I’ve found a suitable boyfriend for you. He’s sitting beside you,” Yuki grinned cheekily.

“Eh?I was just joking about getting a boyfriend, you idiotic Yuki,” Linda muttered under her breath but her face was blushing so hard.

Yuya stared at Yamapi who was trying to concentrate on his food. “He with my sister?” he thought.

The next day, News was changing their clothes and were getting ready to go home when Yuya received a call from Yuki. “I’ll meet you at the entrance of the theme park in an hour’s time,” Yuya replied.

Yamapi overheard the conversation. “Are you going to the theme park?” he asked.

“Yes, I am. My sister will be following us. Actually, she does not want to follow but we felt bad leaving her alone at home so we asked her along,” Yuya replied.

“Honto ni? Can I come along too? I can drive you there. Well, I can accompany your sister while you two lovebirds can have a time of your own,” Yamapi grinned, persuading him.

Yuya nodded and wondered why Yamapi was so eager to follow him. Yuya shrugged and followed Yamapi to his car. A few minutes later, they arrived and they saw the girls were already there.

“Yamashita-san!” Linda greeted, happy that she would not be alone.

Yamapi too was delighted to see her. “We already bought the tickets. Let’s go,” Yamapi suggested and went in with Linda, leaving Yuki and Yuya behind.

“Chotto! Our tickets are with you!” Yuya shouted after Yamapi but they are already gone with the crowd.

“Yamashita Tomohisa!” Yuya growled.

Yuki laughed. “Let’s just buy another pair. Let them be,” Yuki pacify him.

“Ne, what do you want to play first?” Yamapi asked.

“How about that?” Linda pointed to the roller coaster.

Yamapi looked uneasy but nodded. They went to queue for the ride.

“Are you afraid of heights?” Linda asked when they are strapped in the seats.

“Yes, I am. You?” he asked.

“I am too,” Linda admitted.

“Then why are you playing this ride?” Yamapi asked.

“I don’t know! I want to get….AHHH!!” the roller coaster moved and dipped down suddenly, making Linda and Yamapi screamed in fright.

When the ride was over, they laughed. “That was fun! Let’s play the Viking ship!” Linda said, pulling him over to the next ride.

In the Viking ship, Linda hugged Yamapi tightly as the ship began to rock faster and higher. “Yamapi! Yamashita!” she kept chanting his name over and over until the ride had stopped.

“Linda-chan? The ride is over,” he said.

Linda opened her eyes. “Oh!” she let go of his arms and blushed bright red and got out of the ride as quickly as possible.

Yamapi chuckled. “Let’s play that one,” Yamapi suggested the bumper cars.

They played the bumper cars and the two of them being very violent, kept on bumping into each other wildly, with the intention to kill. Everyone on the arena was pretty afraid of them. “You hit me so hard!” Linda replied, showing a bruise which was forming on her arm.

“Gomen,” he apologized, feeling guilty.

“I will forgive you if you win me that dolphin!” Linda grinned, pointing to prize offered in one of the game stalls.

“Ok, I will get that dolphin for you,” he vowed seriously.

After a few tries, he managed to get the huge dolphin for her. “Arigato Yamashita-kun!” she replied delighted.

She kissed the dolphin. “Don’t I get a kiss too?” he joked.

Linda leaned over and kissed him on his cheek. Yamapi was surprised but was over the moon when it happened. “Let’s get a drink and rest for awhile,” Yamapi suggested.

“We forgot about Yuya and Yuki!” Linda suddenly remembered.

“Let’s call them. I’ll call Tesshi,” Yamapi volunteered.
Yamapi fiddled with his phone. “Is there anything wrong?” Linda asked.

“I do not have any reception. Can I borrow yours?” he asked.

Linda handed her phone to him. “I’ll go to the ladies for awhile,” she said.

Yamapi nodded. As soon as she was out of sight, Yamapi used her phone to call him. He stored her number in his phone and his number in her phone. He also send a ring tone, “Daite Senorita” over to her phone and set it so that the song will be heard whenever he called her.

When he saw Linda coming over, he quickly pretended to call Yuya. “Oh ok. I’ll just send her home then,” Yamapi talked to the phone but in actual fact he was not talking to anyone.

“What did my brother say?” she asked.

“Oh, he said that we will go our separate ways. I’ll send you home straight away after this,” he replied.

“Ohh…ok then. What are we going to play next?” she asked.

“I’ve got a better idea. Let’s get out from here. We’ll go have dinner. I’m hungry. My treat,” he grinned.

“Ok,” Linda agreed and they left the theme park without Yuya and Yuki knowing.

Yamapi took her to a very posh restaurant. “Yamashita-kun, are we eating here? It looks expensive,” she said, looking uneasy.

“Daijoubu. It’s my treat, remember?” he assured her.

Yamapi and Linda had a wonderful dinner. They got to know each other better as the dinner progressed. Yamapi was a bit reluctant to send Linda home after dinner. He wants to spend more time with her but seeing Linda’s sleepy face, he decided that there would be other times to ask her out.

They finally arrived at Linda’s house. They sat in the car, both reluctant to say goodbye. Linda broke the silence. “I’ll see you again, ne?” she asked.

Yamapi nodded. “Of course! Take care then,” he said and unlocked the door for her to get out.

Linda took the dolphin and grinned at him. Before she got out, she leaned over and pecked him on his lips, stunning Yamapi. “Arigato for the lovely day. Be careful on the road,” she said and left.Yamapi looked at her, walking up. He touched his lips. A smile broke into his face.

yuya & yuki 4

[ next day ]

yuya is at johnny's entertainment for a rehearsal. Whenever there is a break, he can be seen messaging someone. All the news members were wondering why yuya seems so different today, he have been smiling the whole day. Usually he will be grumbling whenever they had to practice, today he wears a smile on his face even when yuya got a scolding.

During lunchtime, yuya decided to call linda to buy lunch for them. After making the phone call, he went back to practice. Massu keep asking for his food when yuya's phone rang.

“ moshi moshi, nee-chan, you have reached? Okok, dun be angry senorita …sorry…. I will go down now. Okok.. dun be angry…” Yuya and Yamashita Tomohisa aka Yamapi came down and went to the guard.

Linda was arguing with the security guard and marched right up to yuya. “Your bentos,” she said and handed the plastic bags to him.

Yamapi find Linda familiar and ask her if she is the girl who likes to bump into him. Linda recognized him and said hi. Yuya who was standing near his sister looked at them with curiosity.

Yamapi was toking to linda when yuya suddenly cut in.

“Nee-chan,” Yuya called, staring at her.“What is it?” Linda asked and looked at herself.

Linda is drenched from head to toe. Yuya gave her the towel he had with him and yamapi suggest to bring her up to the dance studio to change.

When Linda entered the dance studio, there are so many people staring at her. Yuya went to get the first aid kit located at the office and Yamapi went to get his gym clothes. She came out and saw a bunch of guyz eating the lunch she had bought.

Yuya handed the medicine to his sister and pour her a glass of water. After taking the medicine, linda felt drowsy and fall asleep at a corner.

Koyama, Massu and shige commented on both yuya and linda’s looks. To them, both linda and yuya don't look alike. Yuya chuckled and told them how linda is known to be a scatterbrain but cute. Yamapi who heard their conversation agreed with yuya.

When yuya asked yamapi how he had known linda, yamapi refused to tell him anything. Yamapi managed to make yuya more annoyed.

Linda woke up after sleeping for 2 hrs and she decided to go home. Yuya was worried about his sister's safety as Linda look so sick.

“ nee – chan, let mi take you home, I can come back to practice later.” said the worried yuya to his sister.

“ tesshi, I think I help u send your sister home. I drive here just now.”
Yamapi suggested to yuya but yuya wants to tag along.

“ tesshi, my car can only sit 2 ppl. Trust me alrite? Can u tell where your sister lives?"
yamapi hold onto linda's arm to support her. Yuya draw a map and give it to yamapi.

Yamapi was driving around in circles for 1 hour but he did not want to wake the sleeping Linda up. He called yuya and yuya is coming for them in koyama’s car.
Yuya called yuki to wait downstairs for them while he was in the car.

Yuki rushed downstairs to wait for linda after she heard the news from yuya. She waited anxiously until she saw the headlight of a car turning in from the corner. The car stopped in front of her and she saw yuya coming out from it. Yuki recognized the driver, another news member, keiichiro koyama.

Yuya helped Linda out of Yamapi's car and the latter went down the car holding the sleepy Linda by her right side. Yuya demand yamapi to led go and in the tussle, he accidently pushed yuki. She fall on top of koyama ,yuya let go of Linda’s hand and rushed to help yuki. Linda was half awake by then and saw the anxious yuya helping yuki up.

“ I'm so sorry. Are you ok? Are you hurt? *wiping yuki’s hand* " yuya hold yuki's hand and look at her from top to toe checking for injuries. The others were looking at both of them and were looking at them suspiciously.

Yuya and yuki lead the way to their apartment and yamapi and koyama is supporting Linda. Yamapi took her to her room and rest while yuki and yuya was making tea for them at the kitchen.

Yuki brought the tea to the table and gave them one each. The silly yuya just smile sweetly at yuki making her embarrassed in front of Koyama and yamapi.

“ um, pi-chan and keii-chan, this is yuki. She lived with my sister here.” Yuki shake their hands.

“watashi wa tanaka yuki desu. Dozo yoroshiku.”

“Yuya-chan, do you have to get back to work?” yuki asked yuya who is bugging yamapi to tell him how the latter know his nee chan.

“ yuki, do you think nee chan let mi stay over for the night? I’m worried about her. do you think it's ok ?”

“ um, its ok with me. I will prepare your blankets and pillows and clear the area so that you will be comfortable.” Yuki answered shyly.

“ tesshi, are you and yuki together?” asked the curious koyama. Yamapi is staring at the 2 of them. However, they pretend not to hear them and continued talking.

“ yuki, I have to go back for practice. See ya later then.” Yuya waved to her and guide both koyama and yamapi to the door.

[ at 12 midnite ]

The door open and in came yuya drenched from the heavy rain. Yuki took a towel and wipe his head. Yuya was so tired that he fall asleep immediately. She covered him with the blanket and made her way to her room.

[ next morning ]

Yuya crept into yuki's room intending to scare her. He saw that yuki was sleeping soundly and decided not to disturb her. when yuya was leaving the room, he knocked onto yuki's table and he woke yuki up.

Rubbing her eyes, yuki laughed at yuya for being clumsy. They decided to head downstairs to buy breakfast for everyone.

[ 20 mins later ]


Yuya and yuki were on their way up when they saw yamapi at the doorstep.

“ pi-chan wad you doing here?” yuya asked yamapi who is grinning at them.

“ well, I thot of paying your sister a visit. Aren’t you gonna invite me in, tesshi?”

“ pi-chan, how come you care so much abt my nee chan? And give me a reason why I muz invite you in?”

Yuki whispered to yuya “ why don’t we make a bet? I bet that yamapi-san can wake linda-kun up in less than 3 mins. Dare to accept my challenge, yuya-chan?”

“ alrite, if u win, i have to do your biddings for 1 week and if I lose, which is impossible, you have to do mine for 1 wk. deal?”

“ ok, the challenge starts when yamapi-san is in linda-kun's room.” Yuya open the door and invited yamapi in.

A jealous brother

The next day

Linda was sleeping peacefully, finally able to catch up with her sleep after an extremely long night shift. Just as she was drifting off to her dreamland, her phone rang. “Hello,” she mumbled groggily.

“Nee-chan! Ne, can you send me lunch? OK, I want a grilled fish bento, Yamashita-san wants a fried fish bento, Koyama-kun wants a chicken ramen, Shige wants a udon. Massu! What do you want? Oh, Massu wants fish gyoza and ebi bento. Arigato gozaimasu! Be here in 3 hours!” he said chirpily and hung up before Linda could say any further.

“Nani?” she asked to her phone but all she could hear was a flat tone.

“Arghh! Tegoshi Yuya!” Linda screamed and got off from the bed.

She was just about to go out from the restaurant buying Yuya’s food when it started to pour cats and dogs. “Majide…” she muttered staring at the rain as she had four more lunches to buy.

She breathed in a deep breath and went out from the restaurant, going from one restaurant to another to buy the specific lunch. She finally bought everything a couple of hours later. She looked around her and realized that the Johnny’s Entertainment was a few metres away and there was no shelter to go there. “I’m going KILL Yuya as soon as I see him,” Linda muttered as she made her way there.

“Where are you going Miss?” the security guard asked.

“I’m going to see Tegoshi Yuya from News. He ordered these bentos,” she answered.

“I’m sorry but you cannot go inside. Fans are not allowed to see their idols,” he replied.

“Fan? I’m not his fan! I’m his sister!” Linda cried.

“Yeah, you are not the only one giving that kind of excuse,” the guard rolled his eyes.

Linda groaned in exasperation. “Chotto matte, ne. I’ll call that irritating kid to come here,” she gritted her teeth in frustration.

“TEGOSHI YUYA!! COME DOWN RIGHT THIS MOMENT OR BE PREPARED TO GET KILLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF LIVE TELEVISION,” Linda screamed into her phone.

A few minutes later, Yuya and someone came running to the lobby. “Nee-chan!” Yuya called.

The guard and Linda spun around. Yuya could see her sister shaking from cold and anger. Yuya shrank behind his friend when he saw her expression. “See, I told you that I’m that irritating kid’s sister,” Linda said to the guard.

Linda marched towards Yuya. “Your bentos,” she said and handed the plastic bags to him.

“Ano, aren’t you the one who likes to bump into me?” someone asked.

Linda looked up. “Ah! It’s you. What are you doing here?” she asked.

“Do you guys know each other?” Yuya asked, puzzled.

The guy laughed. “You are Tegoshi’s sister. What a small world. I’ve been wanting to meet you again,” he chuckled.

“Nee-chan,” Yuya called, staring at her.

“What is it?” she asked and looked at herself.

“Oh no!” she cried as she saw that her clothes were translucent after being drenched from head to toe.

“Let’s get her up to dry,” the guy who was talking to her suggested.

He took her hand and pulled her towards the lift. He looked at her. “Tegoshi-kun, do you know where they put the first aid kit?” he asked.

Yuya touched his sister. “I’ll get them,” he nodded and rushed somewhere.

“Eh?” Linda looked puzzled and bewildered.

She entered a room and saw the room full of boys staring at her especially in her wet clothes. “Take this and change into them,” he handed her a pair of gym clothes.

She nodded and went to the changing cubicle nearby. She saw that it belongs to Yamashita Tomohisa. “Eh?” she was taken aback but she just changed into them.

When she went out, she saw the boys ha started eating. “Nee-chan, take this,” Yuya handed her a bottle of water and some fever medicine.

She smiled and took the medicine. She sat in one corner and soon drifted off to sleep as the medicine and weariness consumed her.

“Is that your sister?” Koyama asked.

“Yeah..why?” Tegoshi asked.

“She looks different from you,” Shige answered.

Yuya chuckled. “Yeah but she’s cute, isn’t she? A bit scatterbrain but she’s cute,” Yuya said.

“I agree,” Yamashita nodded.

Yuya looked at him, suddenly feeling protective of his sister. “How do you know my sister?” he asked.

“Ohh…It’s a secret,” he winked at him, annoying Yuya further.

yuya & yuki 3

Yuya offered to piggyback the limping yuki to school. However, yuki declined as she know people will stare at them.

"are you sure u dun wan mi to piggyback you?"

"Iie, its ok.. I can slowly walk.. as you can see.. I walk up early so that I can slowly limp my way to skol? How about you send mi till here? I dun wan you to be late~" yuki stopped yuya while on their way to her school

"tanaka-san, dun worry abt me." Yuya's put his hand on yuki's shoulder and lead the way to school. Passer-bys were staring at them and yuki felt uneasy. Yuya sense her tense and asked her questions about his one-chan to divert her attention.

"tegoshi-san, arigato ne. sayonara. *wave*" yuki saw yuya"s diminishing back view and went inside the school.


[ school ends ]

"sayonara Naomi-chan, see you tomorrow" suddenly, someone pull yuki's bag. Yuki turned around but could not see anyone when all of a sudden, yuya appeared in front of her.

"hihi, tanaka-san. Going home?"

"Iie, I'm going to go find my boss to tell him that I'm unable to work *looking at her injured leg* what you doing here?" yuki look suspiciously at yuya. Yuya scratched his head " well, I thought I muz bear responsible for your condition. So I will send you to and fro form school everyday to show my apology." Yuya grab yuki's bag from her hand and put his hand on her shoulder. They continued walking to shibuya.

"tanaka-san, how do you cope while working and studying at the same time? you must work to pay the rent..?" asked the puzzled yuya.

" well, your sister pay the rent while I pay for the groceries. I felt bad coz I’m not able to help linda-kun with the rent so I help her do all the chores at home."Yuki looked at yuya who keep staring at her.

[ At the shop where Yuki work]

" gomen ne. I'm sorry I don't think I can work for this week. I injured my leg yesterday while buying groceries and I will start working once I feel ok. Gomen ne" yuki said to her boss. She had worked at the shop as a shop assistant for 2 yrs.

Yuya stand outside the shop waiting for yuki. After awhile, yuki appeared " tegoshi-san, it is settled and I forget to tell you. Linda-kun is not coming home tonite, she is working the night shift."

"then do you have any activities from now on? Wanna go karaoke?" the eager yuya said to yuki.

"well, alrite but my singing is bad. Unless tegoshi-san promised not to laugh, I might consider going."

" I will not laugh.. *yuki give yuya a suspicious look* I may be a singer, wait, you know me right?" yuya look seriously at yuki.

"hai, I know you, you are tegoshi yuya from NEWS and your singing is nice"yuya blushed at her comment.

They went to kbox for singing. Yuki loves to sing but she cant get linda to go with her. being able to sing with yuya, yuki is thrilled but she also felt shy. She got no confidence in herself. Though linda said her singing is nice, to yuki herself she thinks her singing is terrible.

She enjoyed herself singing non stop with Yuya. It is already after 7pm and Yuya wants to treat her to dinner at a steakhouse. They exchanged contact number as yuya insist that he cannot get thru linda's hp a lot of times and by having yuki's number he can contact his sister easily.

Yuya walked yuki home and when they were reaching soon her apartment soon. Yuya asked yuki a question.

" tanaka-san, can I call you yuki or yuki-chan" yuya stopped yuki and put both his hands on her shoulders.

"eh, um.. ok.. * watching yuya serious expression* why do you look so serious all of a sudden?"

"well, when I 1st saw you, I know that you are the one for me and I hope that you can out with me? Will you yuki be willing to be my gf? I know that I’m an artiste and out relationship may face some difficulties. Will you be willing to overcome all this obstacles with me?"

" tegoshi-san.. i…i… it is too sudden. Give me some time to consider? We barely know each other. I will give you a reply tomorrow? Gomen ne" yuki pleaded with yuya as she was stunned by his words.

"ok, I understand it is too sudden. i’m willing to wait for you no matter how long it takes. Yuki-chan, plz kol mi yuya or tegokun from now on. Promised mi that 1st? " yuya look at yuki in the eyes and yuki nod her head to show her agreement.

yuya & yuki 2

He seems so familiar to yuki but she had forgotten where she had seen him.

“ oh yeah! Its him.. omg…” yuki exclaimed.

“ wads wrg?”
Yuya asked when he saw yuki's shocked expression.

Yuki juz shake her head and blushed. Yuya bring her to the doctor to treat her injuries. When the doctor was bandaging her ankle, yuki gripped yuya’s hand so hard that his hand was red.

“I'm sorry, really sorry. Does ur hand hurts..?” yuki held his hand and look at the red marks on it. Yuya juz shrug and told her it did not hurt at all and help the limping yuki home. Just a few minutes later, Yuya offered to piggyback her home coz he can see from her face the pain she is trying hard to conceal.

Yuki was blushing all the way home and yuya was making her feel at ease by telling her some jokes. Both of them laugh at those silly jokes.

“ my apartment is juz right ahead. You might wanna put me down.. *blush* I noe I'm heavy”

Yuya put her down but never leave his hand which was on her arm. He slowly walks with her to the front door. Yuki was trying to find the key but yuya had ring the bell. She found the key and went forward to slot it in when the door suddenly opened.

“What happened”
linda asked worriedly.

“ I fall down” yuki answered and linda went forward to help her inside.

“ onee chan”
a familiar voice asked.

Yuki looked at both linda and yuya. “ huh.. linda-chan, tegoshi-san is ur bro?” said a shocked yuki.

When they did not answer her yuki hobbled her way in, leaving them at the door. Yuki went to the kitchen and put the stuffs in. she saw yuya came in and went to prepare tea.

Leaving the tea on the table, yuki went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Though she was curious as to what linda and yuya were talking, yuki know that she shld not eavesdrop.

Linda and yuya helped the injured yuki to prepare dinner. They were happily chatting while having their dinner and yuki finally noe the whole story.

Yuya left the house after getting the extra set of keys from his sister. He held it firmly and give his sister an evil grin.

Linda and yuki had a long talk after yuya had left.

“ linda-chan, tegoshi yuya is an idol. He is a member from NEWS.. omg.. I did not noe that he is ur brother”

Linda was laughing at yuki's expression. “ haha.. so what if he is an idol.. he will always be my irritating kid brother..” yuki laughed at linda's reply and as it is getting late, they went to bed.

[ next day ]

Yuki woke up to get ready for school. She is attending meiji university which is 15mins away from her apartment. Yuki heard the front door opened and limped her way to the door.Yuya was standing in front of her.

“ ohaiyo, wher is my onee chan?”

“ she is stil sleeping in her room. I would advise u not to wake linda-chan up.” Yuya juz smiled and slowly make his way inside. Yuki saw his actions and wondered what yuya is up to.

While in the kitchen preparing breakfast, yuki heard yuya's loud voice. Yuya yelled at the top of his lungs to wake his sleepy sister up. Knowing linda, she will juz fall back to sleep by covering her ears with a pillow.

Yuki prepared another extra set for yuya and placed them on the table. Yuya came out from the room with the pillow that his sister had thrown at him. Yuya saw the breakfast on the table and asked yuki shyly “ is this for me?”

“ yup, dun worry, I have saved a set for your sister.” Yuya begin to eat the scrambled eggs.

“ um, you are goin to school?” yuya asked. Yuki nod her head “ I’m studying at meiji university.. wad abt you?”

“ I’m a first year student at Waseda university.. um.. lets go school together after breakfast.?” Yuya keeps looking at yuki making her feel so embarrassed. Yuki juz nod her head and continue eating her breakfast.

Meeting With The Most Annoying Brother...

Linda was grinning all the way home. Nothing could dampen her spirit that day. She managed to dine with one of the cutest guys in the world. She recalled the scene. It was very sweet. He was such a gentleman and they clicked with each other right away.

Linda was opening the door when she suddenly recalled that she forgot to ask him his name. "Tegoshi Linda! You are a HUGE IDIOT!" she scolded herself.

"Eh? No one's home? Yuki's a big gurl, I'm sure she'll take care of herself," Linda nodded to herself as she went to refresh herself after work.

She was about to settle herself in front of the television when the doorbell rang. "Who is it this time?" she asked, annoyed.

She opened the door and saw Yuki at the door. She saw that her leg was bandaged. "What happened?" she asked worriedly.

"I fell down," Yuki answered.

"Onee-chan?" a familiar voice asked.

Linda looked up. Their eyes met. "Yu-chan! What are you doing here?" she asked surprised.

Yuki looked at them. They were both staring at each other. "I'll go in by myself, " She mumbled and hobbled into the house.

"Nee-chan, can I come in?" he asked.

Linda nodded. Yuya sat in the living room opposite Linda while Yuki was in the kitchen, trying to make herself scarce but at the same time curious to know what happened. Yuya narrowed his eyes. "Nee-chan! You have been hiding here all along?" he asked, looking angry.

"Chotto matte kudasai! Why do you have to be angry? We met after so long, don't you miss your sister?" Linda asked, trying to calm her brother down.

"I have every right to be angry! Do you know what happen to Kasan and Otosan after you left?" he asked.

"Of course, I do. I do visit them, you know," she defended herself.

"Oh really?" he asked.

"Yes! Ask Kasan and Otousan. You are the one jumping to conclusion. Just because I refused to get married to that Shuji Kiritani guy, you thought I ran away from home. Baka, ask me next time. I moved out because I found a job and this place is quite near to the airport that back in Kanagawa. You are the one so busy with your showbiz that you forgot all about your poor nee-chan," Linda explained, trying to make him feel guilty but putting on a sad face.

Yuya rolled his eyes. "Nee-chan, grow up. I will not be fooled by you anymore," he said.

Linda sighed. "My kid brother had all grown up. I'm so touched," she said dramatically.

"Nee-chan! You are embarrassing me!" he replied irritated.

Linda laughed. Yuya held out his hand. "I want your keys," Yuya said.

"Keys? What keys? What for?" she asked.

"The keys to your house. So I can come and visit," he answered.

Linda handed him the extra pair of keys. "Do whatever you want," Linda replied.

Yuya grinned mischieviously. "Oh really?" he asked.

The next day.

"OKITE YO!!!!" Yuya screamed.

Linda woke up with a start. "Nani?" she asked sleepily.

"Okite kudasai. It's already 7am. Go and cook breakfast. I'm hungry," Yuya replied.

Linda sank back to bed and threw a pillow at him. "Go to Macdonald's for breakfast," she replied and went back to sleep.

"Nee-chan!" he cried.

Yuki saw Yuya trying to wake a sleeping Linda up. She chuckled and proceed to make breakfast while Yuya was trying to make a fruitless effort to wake Linda up.

yuya & yuki

Yuki was getting ready to go out and buy groceries when the phone rings

*ring*

“moshi moshi” yuki answered the call .it was linda who called and ask her to check her room for the purse. Yuki was walking when she suddenly stop in her track.

“ linda-chan, if u left ur purse behind… then how did you get to work?”

Linda is known to be a scatterbrain person and yuki had to constantly remind her. after awhile, yuki put down the phone and went downstairs to buy some groceries.

[ after 30 mins at the market]

With her arms full of bags, yuki cant resist walking to the CD shop to look at the new CDs that are released. In her haste to go there, yuki bumped into someone.

“ ouch..!!”
yuki stuffs had fallen to the ground and she tries to stand up but fall back again. The person stretched out his hand to help her up. Yuki had sprained her ankle and is unable to stand properly.

“Gomen ne.. daijoubu desuka?” yuki turned to him and look at him. “ its ok, its my fault coz I bumped into u ..I shld be the one to sae sorry”. Looking at all her groceries that had fallen on the ground, Yuki bent to pick them up. The guy helped her and while picking up the last orange, their heads bang into each other. And they both started to laugh.

“ I’m tegoshi yuya.. nice to meet you” the guy hold out his hand

“ I’m tanaka yuki.. nice to meet you too..”

Chapter 1

"Kuso! Ozoi na!" Linda cursed herself as she hurried to the arrival hall.

She fished around in her bag for her airport pass so that she could enter the arrival hall and proceed to her office. As she was hurrying and fishing her pass which was buried deep inside her bag full of treasures, she accidentally bumped onto someone, sending her flying a few centimeters away.

She landed on her butt and her things were strewn all over the floor. Without further ado and ignoring the pain in her butt, she quickly went on all fours and tried to pick up her things and stuff into her bag as quickly as possible. "Anou...daijoubu desu ka?" someone asked her.

"I'm late, I'm late, I'm late," she chanted, oblivious to the person standing in front of her, talking to her.

A few minutes later, she completed collecting her things. She was looking through the things and realized that her pass was missing. "Where's my pass?" she asked aloud.

"Are you looking for this?" someone asked her, dangling the pass in front of her.

She smiled in relief. "Oh yes! Thank you!" she bowed and quickl rushed off to the staff entrance.

The person stared after her in amusement. He saw that she was limping a bit due to the pain of the fall but she was too absorbed that she was late to check whether she's fine or not. He shook his head and started to walk away when he stepped onto something. He lifted his leg and saw a pink, flowery zip purse. He bent down and picked it up, unzipping it, looking through the contents.

A few hours later.

Linda stretched herself. She looked at her watch. "Lunchtime!" she grinned.

She fished around for her purse but she could not find it. "Are? Doko?" she asked, puzzled.

She took out her phone and called Yuki. "Yuki? Are you at home?" she asked.

"Yes, I am," she answered.

"Can you see in my room if my purse was left there?" she asked.

"Ok," Yuki agreed but just as she was about to enter her room, Yuki asked a question.

"Ne, if your purse was left behind, how on earth did you arrive to the airport?" she asked.

"Eh? Oh no, I must have dropped it somewhere! What should i do?" she asked her.

"Haha...careless! Go and find it in the lost and found counter," she said.

Linda rushed over to the counter, almost knocking into someone. "Whoa!" the person replied.

"Sumimasen!" Linda apologized.

"It's you again. Do you like to knock into me or do you just like to bump into people?" the person asked.

"Do I know you?" Linda asked crossly.

"I'm sure you are looking for this," he handed out the purse.

"Arigato gozaimasu! Come on, let me give you a treat as a form of gratitute," she grinned, pulling his hands without listening to his answer.
