Okay~ I'm finally here, typing and trying to boost my inspiration and write the next chapter to this fanfic of mine ohoh~ :)) I hope I can since it's really getting exciting. Btw, as I was attending mass (it's where I can think clearly and think of new ideas so yeah, it's my sanctuary ) I thought of an evil idea for this story….well, let's just say I thought of everything up to the ending and of how it'll end and etc. including the drama.

Yes! There's drama…so sorry :) ehe. Don't worry, I won't burden you much and the end is still not at hand

So please, enjoy~

US and THEM

Hino Kahoko's POV

Boisterous rock music, triumphant laughs and hurrahs, crazy dances and the smell of beer and foods waft through the air as I, Hino Kahoko sit quietly and peacefully in this little corner of this hall…WTH!!

Why do I sound like a narrator? I mean, sure it really is messy around here and the party's going on. Surely, most of the guys are already drinking their way off their consciousness and I presume, initializing a stripping game because of alcohol influence… Yuuki-san and Kaori-san are going wild on the dance floor and singing their hearts out. Earlier, they even shoved a nice bottle of beer in Fuyuumi's mouth.

Now, the poor kid's sleeping on the nearby couch with Shimizu-kun who as always is on his trip to dreamland. Now that I look more closely, they do appear cute. Yay~ I wonder if I can capture this moment, will it be offending if I capture a photo of them in this state? I guess not. Ha-ha!

Kahoko, you scored a point! What a nicely taken shot. I smiled as I gaze at the photo displayed on my phone. But really, how come I ended up in this case with almost everybody drunk and going nuts and I left at the verge of sanity and them in the middle of insanity?

Ishida-san? She's having a nice time with fellows her age, Kanazawa-san and Kira-san along with other staffs. I glanced at her…oh boy, she's already drunk and throwing a fit and angry sessions, poor Kanazawa-san and Kira-san who're now doing their best to stop her and lull her to sleep.

And I say what a chaotic party. Wasn't this supposed to be a goodbye party to Karuizawa since we'll be leaving for tomorrow at 10 am sharp? However, turned out, this isn't just the simple party we've planned and it was altered by the last minute of the previous day.

Flashback

It's now 10 PM and I was about to go to sleep when I heard loud footsteps rush towards my room, banging the huge wooden door open. Frozen as I was halfway pulling the blanket on my body rushed Yuuki-san and Kaori-san with a stupid smile on their faces and Ishida-san with a scary scowl plastered on hers.

Okay, so what happened? Have I done something wrong? Hey, we just went back from the carnival, don't spoil the fun first. Can't the bad thing wait until tomorrow? I need a beauty sleep too you know! BUT, even with these alibis, I cannot counter the fearing scowl of Ishida-sans. This will be a looooooooooong night and sermon.

"HINO KAHOKO!!!" the two singsonged while the young director screeched. Surprisingly, it was harmonious! HA! Who could've thought that a creepy bellowing reeking of sweetness and malice added with a hair-rising and scary screeching would result to a harmonious music? Kidding aside, this is what really IS happening.

A nice big thud erupted from the palms of my beloved director as she tapped her hand furiously against the nearest desk and not so long after, a nice long sermon followed. Oh god, what have I done to deserve this?

"Hino,you!! I have a question!" she furiously alleged while giving this creepy forced smile of hers and this dark atmosphere slowly enveloping the surroundings. Somehow, I felt goose bumps rising. "WHO AM I?"

…well, she's Ishida-san, is she not? Or does she mean her position? "Err, Ishida-san" I meekly whispered out of fear. Really, if I would have a chance, I would run for my life right now. She glared.

"And?"

"You are my director as of now and my manager entrusted me to you" I smiled. Err yeah, my manager had a maternity leave and entrusted me to Ishida-san.

Oh, she smiled!...though it's still creepy. But I'm still relieved to see a slightly-not-so-forced smiling face rather than that of the I-am-mad-at-you-and-you-should-know-why-or-i-will-kill-you type. "And, what are your priorities to me?"

I gulped. "I should tell you every event happening on my life concerning the showbiz world. Answer your every call and-" she cut me off

"Okay, the first one will suffice. You said EVERY EVENT…Hino, are you sure you told me every event happening in your life right now?" No, I haven't told her of my relationship with Tsukimori-kun YET, see, I was planning to tell her. But it's just so late and I was tired and it's so embarrassing to narrate everything that happened…including the…KISS.

"Err…no…Ishida-san…I still…didn't speak of today's event" could it be that Ishida-san knew about today already? How could she? It was in the Ferris Wheel! It's hard to spy on a person IN a ride, especially when it is above!

"And, is it very significant?" she eyed me cautiously.

"Err, yes…" I plunged into a blushing fit. At those two words, the two started to bombard me questions with an amazing enthusiasm.

"So, so, is it true that you and Tsukimori-kun are already dating?" Yuuki-san blurted out.

"AND, you kissed!! How romantic!!" I even surrendered into a deeper blush. How the HECK did they know that?! Where in the world did they get that?

"H-How did you know that?!" I quickly inquired.

"Because of me, silly~" A familiar voice said and from the entrance came a blonde and blue-eyed girl holding a trusty camera. AMOU NAMI! I should have known! This girl is the best journalist! She'd climb the tree and mountains, if possible fly just to get a good scoop of the famous and elite! Come to think of it, I thought I heard flashes of camera during the concerto…so she was following us since then.

ARGH. How troublesome. I facepalmed.

"Now, now, I won't publish it YET, you know, Kaho-chan. Not without your permission since you are a friend of mine." She gave a flashy grin and I returned it with a raised eyebrow. "What? I spared you alright, with a big mouth like mine, telling Ishida-san and these two is the least thing I can do!"

"Fine." I muttered. "Yeah, it's all real. HUSH! No squealing and I don't want a word from anyone of you." You could imagine that as I was saying these things, my face is tomato red right? No, well, now you know.

Amou-san, from the entrance walked towards us. "Pshaw, Hino. You're so stingy. But fine, but if you and Tsukimori-kun decide to make everything official for you then, just call me and everything will be published and aired in a jiffy!" she enthusiastically said with a flashy smile.

"Err, yeah" I sweat-dropped. Note-to-self: Do NOT call Amou-san at this time of days.

"But, Hino-san, it will be okay if we throw a party for you two right? It must be fine if the whole matter can revolve around the whole cast so they'd know the thing. Afterall, Hino-chan is attractive and the guys may make a move towards you which will make Tsukimori-kun jealous, right?" Kaori-san said in a not-so-innocent smile. But she has a point so I nodded.

Then, of all the things that could happen which was unexpected, the quartet with synchronization alleged: 'Then tomorrow's GOODBYE KARUIZAWA party will be partly a LONG LIVE TSUKIMORI-HINO COUPLE party' and with that, the same as they entered, I, frozen with the blanket halfway on my body, they left as if nothing had happened.

END OF FLASHBACK

So that was the history of everything. Sigh…earlier in the morning, as I went out of the room, everyone greeted me with a congratulation along with a puzzled Tsukimori-kun. And now that I made mention of his name, I tried to explain things to him but he only kept silent!! Wahhh!! It means, he's mad at me for letting the whole thing slip out!!!

Until now, we still haven't made up….and I feel bummed out because of it. *sniffs* If only he knew I didn't mean it. Speaking of him, he probably is somewhere around the party right? I mean, it is true that he definitely isn't sociable but Ishida-san managed to force him go…well, I also cannot see Lili-chan so I presume they're together?

Come to think of it, I thought this party is supposedly for us? How come a main character isn't present? That's so unfair, leaving me here all alone…and I was so happy yesterday too, being us and sharing a kiss at those sights. And now, It seems as though I have been woken up from a dream. Why is fate so cruel anyway, what does it not want about me that it keeps picking on me?

If everyone is in this state, will any of them even notice that I am no longer here? I mean, I really wanted to search for Tsukimori-kun and apologize properly. I don't want anymore second to last without us talking to each other.

Quickly, I stood up and trying my best not to be so conspicuous to other people, slipped out of the party and into the main hallway where I just have to go to the second floor through an elevator and voila, our rooms. However, just when I thought that no one is really paying attention about my presence, someone tugged my sleeve, which of course, startled me.

I swear I almost jumped out of my place, only to find a drowsy and a little dizzy, in short drunk Ryoutaro by my side. Oh great, he looks as though he wants to puke! Ungh, shall I escort him to the comfort room? What to do…what to do? But I still have to apologize to Tsukimori-kun right?

Wait, think logically Kaho, as Tou-sama says : 'one cannot reign in a company without a good logic, Kahoko and every company starts within ourselves. So to be successful, one needs to understand what one needs first and for most to be able to think for the best of others as well'. Okay, what was that thought for?!

Anyway, I have decided that I shall bring Ryoutaro first to the bathroom since; I do not want to apologize to Tsukimori-kun while stinking of vomit. Talk about logic with a good sense of humor. Oh LOL.

"Ryoutaro, come on, I'll take you up until the bathroom, you don't look quite well" I mumbled as I put his arm over my shoulders and assisted him to the bathroom with him dawdling. Ugh, he's very heavy!! This big brute, maybe I should have just left him, really. But oh well, he has done so many for me already. This is the least I can do.

He's always been my best friend all the time, listening to my moaning and groaning, my complaints and I have always been dependent of his advices when I and my sister fight or when my father pressures me in succeeding the company since my sister turned the offer down. What does assisting him to the bathroom to relieve him compared to those huh…I should have been grateful.

Anyway, we're a few steps away from heaven now, I mean, the comfort room, but Ryoutaro suddenly stopped dawdling. "Ne, Kahoko…" I was startled by the way he called me. It has never been like that before. Maybe he was drunk, that's why?

"The….the Ice cube…" he mumbled. " The Ice cube and you….about that, was it true?" he caught me off guard there. Well, what can I say? It IS true.

"Yeah…what's up with that?" I asked.

"Why did you not tell me earlier?" he asked. What? Am I supposed to answer to everyone and tell everything that is happening to me for the whole world to know? Hah! I have this thing called privacy too you know? I'm tired of hearing people say 'why did you not tell me earlier' and so on.

"Ryoutaro, I don't have any priorities to you, do I? I have privacy too you know. It's up to me to decide whether I tell things or not! Now if you'll excuse me, I will go somewhere else." I said in a slightly enraged tone.

"…be me…" he mumbled. I turned around. "What?"

"Why can't it be me? Kahoko…I have always been…in love with you." He confessed HUWAT?! WTF. Great…this is the last thing I needed, another confession from my best friend just when I finally found my man. Is he nuts? No, idiot Kahoko, you can't just believe everything a drunken man says…but wait. They said a man is more honest when they're out of their consciousness….NOOOO

I laughed. "Look, Ryou, you're just drunk. Give it a sleep and you'll feel better. About Tsukimori-kun, yes, that's true. Now, if you'll excuse me…" But even before I could move from my place, he pushed me against the wall and he was so close to me ready to kiss me. As a matter of fact, I can already smell the stench of alcohol escaping from his mouth.

"Ryou, let go of me…" so I just have a question to ask for myself while I am at it….why am I the one who's always being harassed like this? Do I look like a good toy for the game push-me-against-the-wall-and-almost-kiss-me? "Let go of me!" I said. And I mean it!

But he pulled closer. "I SAID LET GO!!!" and suddenly, he was away from me. No, he didn't back out but someone got him away from me. It was Tsukimori-kun who has already grasped the collar of the green-haired actor and ready to punch him with that mad face of his… wait, PUNCH?!

"TSUKIMORI-KUN! STOP!!! IT'S OKAY ALREADY, HE'S DRUNK! DON'T HIT HIM!" as I pushed Tsukimori-kun away from Ryoutaro. After a bit of persuasion, I was able to separate the two and asked Ryou to just go away. Tsukimori-kun didn't even calm down.

He was emotionless, but I can feel the anger in his amber eyes. And I was scared. I have never seen him like this before, so enraged…the calm and composed Tsukimori-kun I knew. I am not afraid of him, I should not be. He is still the Tsukimori I knew, only with a different façade.

He suddenly sat down on the ground, his face covered from his long fringes since he was staring at the tiled floor. He looks so devastated that I felt so sad as well…was this all my fault? Is it because of me that it ended up this way? Our first day as couples…I was the one to destroy it huh. I knew it would never work out, but why did…why-…

"Kahoko, you…" he said as he put his palm on my cheek. Only then did I realize that I was already sobbing and already behind him on the floor. His eyes were no longer filled with anger, just kindness and gentleness. "I'm sorry" He said. Very unusual that I can't help to raise my head towards him and yet, I cannot find my voice so I cannot tell him he has nothing to do with it.

"It's…my fault. I'm sorry." He said. "I was…kind of jealous while seeing you with other guys and when I saw you with Tsuchiura, I felt so mad that I can't help myself…I'm really sorry, Kahoko." He said as he patted my head. I felt so warm. SO he wasn't mad at me.

I shook my head of course. "No, it's really okay. Besides, I have my faults too…and," I smiled a flashy one. "I'm quite happy."

He looked at me, startled. "Happy?"

"Yes, because I know Tsukimori-kun cares for me so much that he feels jealous whenever I am with other people. That makes me feel kind of…happy." I said and of course, I was blushing.

He turned his head on the opposite direction.

"Eh? Tsukimori-kun?" ohhhhhh….I get it now. "Don't tell me you're embarrassed." And I laughed which made him more embarrassed. I knew this day was a long one, but oh well…at least I still ended up together with the one I adore-no- I love the most. After all, right now, my world is just made up of two things…it's only US and THEM.

Ooooooooooookay~ I AM DONE! As you can see, it was fully Kahoko's POV. :/ was It boring? Tell me f it was okay? I got the feeling that they became OOC, don't you think? I'm sorry for that, I may have lessen Len's coolness without notice. Please spare me . T.T And, I think IT IS TOO MUSHY, and I'm not a romantic person. D: Does Kaho sound like a flirt? I am afraid she sounded a bit in this. Waaahh!! But please, let me know what you think through reviewing. T.T

Anyway, I'll try to upload really soon.

Ja~
