Chapter 9 - Shock Meeting


"So I'm going to take my sister back." Hinata explained to everyone. Kenma could see that Hinata wasn't happy for some reason.

"Bye bye!" Natsu waved goodbye.

The two sibling went out the door as the band watched them leave. Everybody was thinking about what Hinata had said last night about his sister. They didn't think such a cheerful boy had just a messed up life. They wouldn't think so since he's always smiling but there were times that he made a different face but the band didn't think much of it.

Kenma was deep in thought that he couldn't even read the script that was in his hand. Hinata was always there for him and willing to help him even when he did mess up sometimes. He always put a smile on for him.

It pain Kenma to see Hinata like that but what could he do about it. He wasn't like Yaku or Kuro who could give good advice to Hinata.

They all had the day off from work and were staying home. Kuro was working on some dance moves that they could do for their next concert. Yaku was yelling at Lev trying to make him practice more since he always messes up. Nobuyuki was watching some T.V.

Kuro was in his studio, he was resting a bit. He took the water bottle that was on the chair that he had left. He drank the water in one gulp. He then sat down on the floor, even Kuro was thinking about Hinata.

"I'm sure Akashi and Bokuto wants to see chibi-chan again and talk to them just like before."

"I think the same thing."

"Ah!" Kuro almost jumped out of his skin from the scare.

"Yaku, you scared me popping up like that. You're a bit like Kenma in that department."

"Sorry. Anyway I was thinking the same thing. Chibi-chan has done so much for us. Helping us with other work that does not do anything with writing songs."

"You're right about that."

"Maybe we need to talk to Akashi-san and Bokuto-san."

"I was thinking the same but I have a feeling that they would say "We don't want to push Hinata-kun to speak with us. We are sure when the time is right he will" That's the kind of guy Akashi is and I'm sure Bokuto would agree as well."

"Your right on point about that. Even so I think it's best for them to speak to one another. I also think that he should speak to the person who started all of this."

"You don't mean..."

"Yea. I think he should speak to that best friend of his."

"We don't even know who it is and he didn't give the name since we were interrupted last night when he was about to tell us. I'm sure as hell that he doesn't want to tell us now. Yesterday was a good mood that was probably the only reason he wanted to tell us."

"You're right about." Yaku sighed. "Even Kenma seems curious about it but knowing Kenma he won't do even if it something to do with chibi-chan."

"Chibi-chan might be late coming back."

"That's right the place is a bit far away. I offered to drive him but he said I shouldn't bother and that he would be fine on his own."

"Chibi-chan sure is hiding a lot of things."

"Yea. And I thought he was like just another normal boy."

...

Kenma was in his room. His script was left on the floor scattered and his games were messed up. He was worrying about Hinata, he wanted to see that smile again but he hadn't seen it all. This morning all he could see was the sadness in his face and voice.

It talk from last night could tell that Hinata didn't like his step-mother and wanted her gone and then there was his sister who was a mess because of a accident.

"Is there anything I can?"

"Maybe I should take him to that restaurant again." Kenma sighed. He never thought of things this deep before but when it came to Hinata he wanted to do something for him but he wasn't like the rest who could help somebody in need.

Acting in movies and dramas and in real life is totally different. He wish he could figure this all out but he didn't have the slightest clue how he could help the boy that brighten up his world.

"Kenma, are you in there?" Lev's voice yelled from the other side, he even knocked on his door but Kenma didn't feel like getting up so he stayed put.

The door opened and Lev entered his room.

"If your in here so something."

"What do you want?"

"I was sure that you were thinking about Hinata."

"Why would you think something like that?' Kenma asked.

Lev paused for a moment when he looked around and saw how messed up his room was and he knew that the actor and pop idol was thinking really hard.

"I maybe stupid but even I know when you care of Hinata and I feel that he feels the same way as you do."

"Why are we talking about this?"

"I'm sure that if you talk to him he would be really happy."

"What? Are you stupid? I can't help him or give him advice."

"That's the point. Hinata won't care about that but just being with him."

"You're an idiot!" Kenma pushed Lev out of his room but what Lev said was indeed stuck in his head.

"Would he really care not care of anything else?" Kenma sighed, all this thinking was giving him a headache.

...

Akashi and Bokuto were doing some photo shoots with their band. After some takes they took a break. They had a long day of shoots and right after they had an interview with a reporter.

"I see that you're working hard as usual." Akashi and Bokuto looked up and saw Sugawara standing there with a smile. Suga wasn't the only one there. Kagayama was standing there with that look almost like a glare but he didn't mean no harm.

"What are you two doing here?" Akashi asked, he was sure they didn't have any shoots or even interview or anything else in this studio today.

"There was something I wanted to talk to you about and Kagayama was worried so he tagged along."

"Is this possibility about Hinata-kun?" Suga nodded his head. Akashi didn't think he would talk about the young man again.

They had time to spare for an hour so they found a small room to speak in.

"I heard that you two saw Hinata."

"We did but it wasn't the happy reunited that you had hoped."

"I see he still can't make a move to face you two property."

"It's not his fault. We are at fault as well." Akashi said.

"That's not true. It was my fault as well." Bokuto said.

Suga couldn't believe these two were still blaming one another.

"Akashi-san and Bokuto-san has done nothing wrong." Kagayama defended the two.

"Thanks Kagayama." Bokuto smiled but that smile didn't last long. "Hinata doesn't want anything to do with us. That is why he left us. He wanted to start a new and forget us and him as well."

"Even if he tries to forget everything that is impossible for him since he can't escape the people and I'm sure that he was end meeting him when they work in the same place."

"That's right. I heard that he works there as well." Akashi wonder how that would be like, how their meeting would be like. He was sure it wouldn't go the way they want it.

"I'm still amazed that they haven't met up yet." Bokuto said.

"Suga-kun, I'm glad that you were the one he went to after what happened."

"He was close to you back then before you decided to leave."

"I only did what I could was to help him."

"What are you doing crying here all alone?" Suga had found out from Akashi what had happened and when to look for Hinata. Suga knew where the boy would always go so it wasn't hard to find him.

Hinata was crying with tears coming down his face. He kept on crying without a word. Suga put his arms around the boy, he couldn't stop the crying but it was best for Hinata cry it all out.

"Hinata, do you want to come with me?" Suga suggested. Suga wasn't thinking but he thought it was best for the boy to be away from Starlightstudio and forget it all.

"I was the one who told Hinata to write those lyrics for Nekos in the first place. I shouldn't have done that he might end up bumping into his best friend."

"He doesn't look like the type that would think much of his career." Kagayama said, the best friend of Hinata was a very active guy and always did his best. To think that guy was Hinata's best friend.

"Lets home that nothing bad happens when they meet."

...

Hinata was walking back to the Nekos. He was thinking about his sister. It was pain leaving her since she always wants her there but that is something he can't do. He had done some work there and was looking over the papersheets.

"I used probably call uncle and let him take care of her while that woman is gone." Hinata sighed.

"Why is that woman even sticking around even when father is no longer here? That's right she's after the money."

Hinata made his way home but he stopped dead his track when he saw a familiar face, A face that he didn't want to see and hadn't seen for such a long time. The paper that had in his hand dropped down to the floor. The other noticed Hinata and turned around but when he did he was in shock as well.

It felt like time had stopped. The two stared at one another without moving a muscle. Both of them didn't know what to say or do.

"Shou-chan?" The other was confused.

"Inu?"

Even if they hadn't seen for a long time that didn't mean that they wouldn't recognize one another.

Just then the door to the house opened.

"Chibi-chan, your back." Kuro said, his eyes went to Inuoka but Kuro felt something was wrong with the air around the two boys.

"What are you doing here?" Inuoka asked, staring at Hinata.

"Didn't we tell you about the famous ghost writer?"

"You're that ghost writer."

"Do you two know each other?"

Both boys didn't say a word and the air got thicker. Kuro didn't know what to say or do. Maybe he had said something bad.

"Kuro-san, what are you standing in the doorway like that?" Yaku popped his head out and saw Hinata and Inuoka but something was wrong.

"Inuoka, you came earlier than expected."

"Yea." Inuoka said in a weak voice.

"It's good to see chibi-chan is back as well."

"Yea." It was Hinata's turn to speak in a weak voice.

"What's wrong with them?" Yaku asked looking at Kuro.

"I think they know each other." Kuro whispered so that only Yaku could hear him.
