Hana Kimi fan fiction? Hmm, sounds good to me. It isn't as popular as Naruto and Bleach, but it's so cute I can't resist.
All the Love in the World
Water dripped down the only window of the studio as rain steadily continued from earlier in the morning. Two men sat inside the room. One was reading a book while the other was shoveling an enormous bowl of ice cream down his throat.
Minuets passed, and a few more people came into the room and immediately started to do their jobs. A few people were laying out lights, another group was setting up a backdrop, and the last was organizing a hair and makeup area. After nearly an hour, they finished up. The room had been transformed into a studio in just a short amount of time. The man who had finished his ice cream went over to examine his camera and looked over at the man reading the book.
"Hey, Nanba." He said. The brunette looked up from his book. "Go get to hair and makeup."
"Um, Akiha?" One of the makeup artists cautiously approached him. He recognized her as the one he had picked up just the other day straight out of beauty school. "The hairdresser just called. She got stuck in traffic and will be a little late."
The photographer sighed and rubber his forehead.
"Alright. We'll put everything on hold for ten minuets. Tell everyone to take a break."
"Yes sir." And with that she rushed away to spread the news.
The man who had been reading the book walked up behind the photographer. "How unprofessional."
"The new gal?"
"No, the hair dresser." Nanba corrected. "She should have come early."
"You shouldn't bad talk her. She's doing your hair, and she's modeling with you."
His manager, a short, nervous man walked into the conversation. "There was nothing about another model in the papers."
"Nakamura, the designer sent me clothing for both a man and a woman. They want the clothing modeled together. This woman is well known in America for her modeling, plus she's switched over to hair and makeup. She's the perfect candidate."
The small man twitched. "Nanba?" He looked over to his employer. "Is this alright with you?"
"Of course, of course." The 25 year old man casually stated with a wave of his hand. "But what is her name?"
Akiha turned around and started fiddling with his camera. "It's a surprise. You'll recognize her when she comes. She's very famous in the US, and if what senpai tells me is right, then you've met her before." He turned around to wink at him.
"What would my uncle know about who I've met before?" He raised an eyebrow. "And are you still bothering him?"
The taller man continued playing around with his camera and started whistling. Minami snorted and sat down to read his book again. Akiha's cell phone started ringing, and he picked it up. "Yeah?" Another voice answered on the other side, and Akiha listened. "Okay, yes, we'll have everything ready." He turned to the crowd of anxious assistants. "EBI IS COMING!" He yelled.
The workers cheered. Akiha's ex wife was known to be able to save the day for hair and make up. As if on cue, said woman burst through the door with a smile on her face. She was quickly barraged with questions about her trip to Europe to work on hair there which she answered quickly.
When she finally finished, she went over to the tall blond who waited patiently for her. "Was I missed that much?"
"Yep." He smiled. "You came back just in time. Our female model was going to have to do hair too."
"Who is it?"
"It's-"
The door slammed open, and everyone jumped in their spot. A tall woman with blonde hair and blue eyes was leaning against the doorway and panting. "Sorry I'm late." She wheezed. A squat woman waddled up behind her, breathing just as hard. She walked over to Akiha. "Long time no see." She motioned to the woman behind her. "This is my manager, Linda."
"Please to meet you." Linda said in Japanese, with a horrible accent.
"You got here just in time. Ebi just returned, so you can focus on modeling." He turned to his team. "Let's get started!"
And suddenly the room was a blur.
Minami stood up and went over to the temporary hair studio. Ebi greeted him casually and quickly started doing her work. He saw a flash of yellow out of the corner of his eye, but ignored it.
When he was finished, a set of clothing was thrown his way and he quickly went to change. When he finished, he looked at himself in the mirror of the dressing room. Apparently the designer was going for a 'punk' look with chains, boots, and black. He walked out of the room and saw the last person he thought he would see.
"Julia?"
The blonde turned around. "Ah, shit." She hissed. "This has got to be some kind of sick joke!"
----------
"Where are they?!" Akiha asked Ebi impatiently. They went to go get changed a long time ago.
"I'll go find them." His ex wife proposed and started searching. She reached the changing rooms, and a laughable sight met her eyes.
Nanba was clawing at a door and pleading at it. "Julia, please come out. I won't be too naughty."
"Not in a million years you ass hole!" A voice shouted back.
"But you're so beautiful!"
"Save the pick up lines for a stupider girl." Julia called over the door. "I refuse to-"
"Hey, Akiha is getting impatient." Ebi cut in, deciding it was time.
Minami sprang up from his position on the floor. "She won't come out." He said childishly.
"Because you're there!"
"You know you love me!"
"I know you're clinically insane!"
"All the more reason I need love!"
"Not in a million years you dirty old man."
Minami's face fell. He crawled over to a corner and hunched over. Little mushrooms started growing all around him. "Old, I'm not old. 25 is not old. She's 24. She's not old either. But I'm not old. I'm not old." He continued to mutter to himself for a few minuets.
"STOP!" Ebi yelled. "Minami, get your ass over to the photographer and take your single shots. Julia and I will be out in a little while." Sulking, the young man complied and left the area still asking the air if he was old.
The door slowly cracked open, and a blue eye gazed out. "Is the idiot gone?"
"All is clear."
The blonde girl stepped out and smoothed down her green and black plaid skirt. "I thought I got rid of that idiot after I left Saint Blossom's." She grumbled.
"It's a small world in the fashion industry." The older woman laughed. "We've worked together several times, haven't we?"
"Yeah."
"Now, will you be a good girl and model with Nanba?"
"Not if the world was going to end."
"Why?"
"Because he's an idiot!"
"We know that already. Any other reasons?"
"He's a playboy."
"Not one of his good traits." She sighed. "But should that stop you from modeling with him?"
The American scowled like a little kid. "No."
"Good, now it should almost be time for your pictures with Minami. Scoot!" Julia left dragging her feet behind her. "These kids are going to give me gray hair." The makeup artist muttered.
Julia walked out into the photo shoot area and saw a sea of people crowding in behind the camera. She worked her way through the crowd, and managed to get into the front. Then she saw why the crowd had wanted to watch so much. Nanba was an amazing model. He seemed so passionate about his work that Julia almost looked forward to working him. Unfortunetly for him, it didn't make her think he was any more intelligent.
"Alright, that's 75 frames." Akiha called. He looked at Julia and waved her over. "You two have 85 frames for the pairs, and then you're going to have 75 frames for your own shoot."
Julia nodded her head and watched Nanba as he gulped down a glass of water. An assistant said something, then pointed in her direction. Minami turned around, and beamed broadly. Just gave him the finger in return.
"Alright, let's go!" Akiha shouted, pretending he didn't see Julia's manners. "Julia, sit on the floor. Minami, sit behind her and wrap your arms around her. That's your starting shot. From then on, you two have to choose the poses yourself, but imagine you're boyfriend and girlfriend and a night club just relaxing."
Minami's smile grew wider. Julia felt disgusted, but knew it was he job. She put her personal feelings aside, and quietly did as she was told.
Over the course of 20 minuets, they nearly finished all of their frames. Julia wasn't comfortable with a few of the poses, but went with the flow. "5 framse left." Akiha announced and the pair changed positions. They were kneeling and facing eachother so that their knees met.
The moment Akiha started snapping the last frames, Minami leaned in a kissed her. Her mind didn't even register what was happening until after Akiha announced they were out of frames. Nanba pulled away and gave her a wide smile.
Then Julia had it all registered perfectly.
"You son of a bitch!" She roared and jumped to her feet. "I'm going to kill you!" She started running after the male model, who was laughing while skipping away. That only made her more angry.
"Oh Julia, darling, you know you enjoyed it." The man giggled as he started climbing an iron ladder on the side of the building. Julia quickly followed.
"You are stupid in the head." She spat.
When they reached about 10 feet, Minami dropped down and landed gracefully. "I can see your panties." He commented.
"That gives me even more reason to put you into pieces!" She snarled, and tried to follow him.
"Julia, NO!" He yelled.
Then there was a sickening crack.
AN: Wow, that was a hella long chapter. I know I just said hella, but I'm from the Bay Area so I can say hella as much as I want to, so there.
On a different note, there will be several more chapters; probably 2 or 3. Just check for updates every once in a while. I'm in no rush to write this.
