Soap Opera Blues

Chapter 5
"Rei-kun..? What's wrong?" she asked uncertainly.
"There she is!" Mitsuko said happily, standing to her feet and running towards the door.
Sana's eyes darted to the door and her breath instantly caught up in her throat. That couldn't be who she thought it was.... No way!
But, it had to be...
"A-Asako-san.." she breathed out in disbelief.
"Welcome Kurumi Asako-san!" Mitsuko greeted with another formal bow.
Sana glanced over at Rei and frowned. Maybe she wasn't really the reason he had been so strange on the drive over.
Asako nodded in their direction before taking a seat.
"Okay, everyone!" Mitsuko said, sitting back down with the two Japanese men. "As you all know, I am Kamesaya Mitsuko, and I wrote the movie you will all be taking part in, Soap Opera Blues."
The room all murmered their agreement and acknowledgement.
"First of all, "Mitsuko continued, "Thank you all for being here. We're very glad to have so many good actors and actresses here. Anyhow, I will let our director talk to you now. Thank you again." she sat back down, they all clapped polietly causing the young girl to blush.
The man to her right stood up, he had long black hair and brown eyes, he wore a pin-striped suit. He nodded to them all.
"I am Watanabe Osamu and I will be directing this film. I am flexible and will do all I can to work around everyone's schedules."
Sana nearly fell over, Watanabe.. Could he possibly be Watanabe-sensei's husband? She shook her head, that wasn't possible, was it?
"Anyhow, we would like to introduce all of you to each other and talk a bit about your characters." the director concluded. The man beside him didn't speak, Sana wasn't sure who he was, but assumed he probably was the casting director.
Mitsuko stood up again and smiled. "Okay, our main character is Chiharu, she is played by Sana-chan. Sana-chan's character is in love with Naozumi-kun's character, Ryuu, who is in love with Chiharu's best friend, Mira-chan, played by Sachiko-chan's, who is is already dating Tori-kun's character, Yukito, who is being stalked by the older, but lovely, Kirie, played by Asako-chan."
Sana scanned the room until she found Tori-kun. He had spikey red hair and brown eyes. He wore a white suit with the arms ripped off and an ice blue tie. Sana had to admit, he was very cool looking.
As if on key, Tori's eyes found hers and he winked at her flirtatiously.
Sana's eyes went wide as she blushed, looking away quickly. What did that guy think he was doing? He didn't even know her and he was trying to hit on her!
"Anyways, as the story goes along, Ryuu eventually falls in love with Chiharu, Mira falls in love with Ryuu and Chiharu falls in love with Yukito. As for Kirie, she commits suicide when she finds out that Yukito is talking about asking Chiharu to marry him. And yes, they do get engaged in the end."
Sana's head began to spin wildly. Did that mean she was going to have to kiss Tori-kun, as well? Akito would be pretty mad, she bet..
"Anyways, we are starting filming on Monday. We hope that you all have a good weekend, be sure to rest up." Mitsuko said with a smile. "You may all go now."
Sana looked over at Rei who stood up and rushed after Asako who seemed in a hurry to leave.
"Have Sagami-kun and Kurumi-san been having trouble lately?" Naozumi asked her, his eyes not meeting her's however. They were looking towards the director's table.
Sana nodded slightly, "It seems like it.. He hasn't really talked to me about it, though.." she frowned thoughtfully, hoping that Asako and Rei would make up soon, she didn't like it when Rei got all weird over her.
"That's too bad.." Naozumi sympathised as Rio got up and started to talk to the director. "Interesting plot, eh?"
"Yah. A bit confusing, but it sounds like fun." she said, forcing a smile, although she was dreading the filming.
"Hey." said a whispery male voice from behind them.
Sana and Naozumi turned around only to find Tori standing behind them, a grin on his face as he slipped into the chair between them.
"Soyama Tori, nice to meet you." he said, an arrogant tone to his voice.
"Hey, I'll see you on Monday!" Sachiko said hyperly, giggling with excitement. "Bye guys!" she called, running off after a green haired woman Sana guessed was he mother.
"Bye Sachiko-chan!" Sana called out. She looked over at Naozumi who was staring at the table still, a frown on his face.
She hoped that she wasn't the reason he was moping.. That was exactally what she didn't need.
"So, Kurata." Tori said suavely, "You need any help with your lines, be sure to call on me!" he winked yet again, tipping his head to the side to get a good look at her.
Sana started to respond when Naozumi turned to the guy and said, "If she needs help with her lines than I am sure she would prefer to ask me for help."
Sana felt panic flow through her. This wasn't good! Naozumi was telling him off, trying to make it look like he was dating her again! Akito would be so upset, she just knew it.
Tori gave Naozumi a dirty look, "Why don't you and your girlfriend just lay off?" he muttered, getting up and smiling over at Sana, dropping a buisness card in front of her. "Call me." And with that he took off, leaving Naozumi and Sana in silent disbelief.
Sana looked over at Naozumi who was bright red in the face. He looked over at Sana and gave her a half smile before looking back at the table.
"I really am sorry about not contacting you for so long.." he whispered to her.
"Naozumi-kun.." she whispered. She was just about to tell him about her and Akito when his name was called.
"Naozumi!" Rio called, standing beside Mitsuko who was blushing at Rio-san's side.
"I'll be right there!" he called, standing up and straightening up. "I really am sorry, Sana-chan.." he repeated, smiling down at her with the smile that drove fan-girls wild. "I'll see ya around." he ran over to Rio and Mitsuko, nodding his head to Mitsuko and laughing at something before walking off with Rio, waving over his shoulder at Mitsuko who waved back.
"Sana-chan, sorry I took so long." Rei said with a smile, he seemed a lot better than he had earlier. "Are we ready to go?"
Sana stood up and nodded, inwardly sighing. At least it was over for now. She followed Rei out to the car and blinked when she saw Asako waiting at the car. She wore a plain black dress and matching headband, her hair had grown a lot since she last saw her.
"Asako-san!" Sana called out, waving hyperly. She couldn't help but feel happy seeing Asako again, it meant that her and Rei had to be on better terms again.
Asako smiled and gave Sana a quick hug, "You've grown a lot, Sana-chan!"
Sana giggled, as she turned over to Rei. "Do you guys want me to walk home?"
"Ah! Of course not, Sana-chan!" Asako and Rei both said with a laugh.
"Let's get going, though." Rei said, unlocking the doors.
Asako slipped into the back seat while Sana sat in the front with Rei-kun.( Note: In Japan the most important person/person with highest rank sits in the back behind the driver).
"Did you guys make up?" Sana asked bluntly, her eyes locking on Rei's face as she studied him for a reaction.
"Yeah, I guess we did." he said with a laugh, looking back at Asako with a grin playing on his face that she returned.
"That's great! Now we can have---erm.. What do you call five pairs..? Five double dates..? No! Oh well, we can have five couple dates!" Sana said hyperly, clapping her hands together happily.
Asako giggled at this while Rei sweatdropped.
"Sana-chan, did you and that Hayama boy finally get together?" Asako asked with interest, a supportive look on her face.
Sana blushed and nodded, "Yeah, just a few days ago." she said proudly.
"That's great!" Asako said happily.
"Could you tell Rei-kun that?" Sana said, giving Rei a dirty look. He rolled his eyes behind the shades.
"Rei!" Asako scolded. "Be happy for Sana-chan! She has wanted to go out with Hayama-kun for a while now!"
Most of the drive continued on that note. Sana was then returned home, while Rei-kun and Asako continued their drive together.
"How'd it go?" Misako asked as Sana walked into the house, changing into her slippers like usual.
"Okay.. This one guy that I end up marrying, Soyama Tori, he is REALLY strange.. I don't really like him. But the girl who plays my best friend, Ashitaka Sachiko, she's very nice, although a bit weird!"
Misako sweatdropped, having no idea what Sana was talking about yet again.
"Sensei!" Onda moaned, crawling over to her car and clinging onto the side of it.
"Ah! I gotta go Sana!" Misako drove off, Onda still clinging on for dear life as she did so.
Sana shook her head and wandered into the kitchen.
"I prepared some teriyaki chicken and rice for you, Sana-chan." Shimura-san said with a kind smile. She took some food out of the oven and brought it to Sana.
"Thank you so much, Shimura-san! You're the best!"
The maid blushed, "I do what I can, Sana-chan.." she said, nodding to her as she left the room leaving Sana with her food.
Sana started eating the chicken while she gathered some paper and a pencil. She then ate and did lines at the same time, stopping to count them all to make sure she had the right amount of lines this time. When she saw she had and had finished eating she went to the phone and called Akito to let him know what had gone on at the meeting.
~*~*
Sana and Misako both got a ride to school from Rei on the next morning, Friday. They walked towards the school only to find Akito and his father waiting for them in front of the front door.
"Kurata-san." Akito's dad said, nodding his head.
"Hayama-kun." Misako said with a nod.
"I have to go drop off my lines to Watanabe-sensei, be right back." Sana said, pausing when she realised Akito wasn't following, "Akito!" she scolded, grabbing onto his arm and pulling him along with her.
"Ah, young love.." Hayama's father said with a dreamy smile. "Your Sana-chan would be a great daughter in law.."
"And your Akito-kun would be a great son in law.."
The two parents smiled to each other mysteriously.
*~*~
Sana walked into Watanabe-sensei's classroom, her lines already in hand as she entered.
"Morning Watanabe-sensei!" Sana greeted hyperly.
"Good morning Kurata. Kurata's boyfriend." Watanabe-sensei greeted them, nodding. Her dangly earrings bobbing as she did so. She wore a long, orange sweater, with a long brown skirt. She really did like different outfits, Sana thought to herself.
"Here, I did them again." Sana said, holding out her lines to Watanabe-sensei, who smiled.
"Very good Kurata, normally I wouldn't allow teriyaki stains on them, but my husband told me to go easy on you. I heard you met him yesterday."
Sana's mouth dropped open, while Akito tilted a brow in confusion.
"Watanabe Osamu IS your husband! I wondered.." she said with a smile.
Watanabe-sensei smiled thoughtfully. "Do your best, Kurata-san."
Sana and Akito exited the classroom together, hand-in-hand.
"Your math teacher's husband is in entertainment?" Akito asked, looking completely confused.
Sana nodded to him. "He's the director." she said as the two of them headed towards the door, they paused when they saw their parents in conversation.
"You don't think they won't let us go on our date tomorrow, do you..?" Sana whispered with a sad frown.
Akito shook his head firmly, "I doubt it.."
As the bell chimed through the air, their parents met up with them in the hall and the four walked together into the principal's meeting room.
"Ah, the Kurata's and Hayama's.." The principal said with a smile. "Please sit down."
Sana and Akito sat in between their parents and beside each other, while the principal sat across from them.
"You all know why you are here, I believe."
They nodded.
"You are aware that smooching on school grounds is not allowed, I trust." he continued.
"Principal, I understand, but why can't they show affection for each other? They are in love!" Misako said pointedly, a stern look on her face.
"It isn't right to show it in public.." The principal said sighing.
"I don't have a problem with it, and nother does Hayama-kun." Misako protested, putting a hand on her daughter's shoulders. "I trust my daughter's judgement and I know that Hayama Akito-kun is a good boy. He has honest eyes."
Akito's dad nodded and placed his hand on Akito's shoulders. "No matter what you say, principal, unless they are interferring with one another's studies it shouldn't matter. Kurata-san and I have already been talking about an arranged marriage, anyhow."
Akito and Sana both stiffened. Had they heard that right? Were their parents REALLY talking about marriage like Sana had said?
The principal narrowed his eyes. "I see... Well.. I guess this meeting is over then." he said, sighing defeatedly.
"Hayama-kun, Kurata-san, to class now."
The teens left the room with a wave at their parents and then walked hand in hand to Sana's class. Sana smiled to Akito and said, "Well, what do you know! I was right.."
"Yah.. Well, we won at least." he said, unsure how to think about the arranged marriage thing.
Sana leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "See you at lunch, Akito."
~*~*
"When are you meeting Hayama-kun tomorrow, Sana?" Misako asked at dinner that night, she was eyeing her daughter suspiciously.
"11:30 a.m he is coming over to pick me up." Sana said, uncertainly, "Why?"
"Because Hayama-kun's family is coming over for dinner tomorrow night."
Sana blinked in confusion. Her mom couldn't be serious about the arranged marriage, could she? No way! It had to be a joke! But.. Misako seemed very serious..
"Oh, I see." Sana said, she looked nervously at her ramen as she spooned some noodles into her mouth with her chopsticks.
"What are you two doing, anyways?"
Sana smiled and shrugged, "Going to the movies is all we know for sure.."
"Oh, a great date place! Sagami should really take some time to be with Kurumi-san.." Misako said with a frown.
Sana blinked, looking confused, "Then.. Where is Rei-kun right now?"
"Having a talk with Rio-san it seems." Misako said secretively.
"Rio-san?! Naozumi-kun's manager? Why is he doing that?" Sana's mind whirled again, she didn't know what Rei was thinking to go sneaking around like that!
"I couldn't tell you why. But he is indeed with Naozumi-kun's manager."
"How did you find out?" Sana demanded.
"Rio-san called asking if he was running late."
Something wasn't making sense.. Why on earth would Rei-kun be hanging out with Rio-san..? Then a crazy thought dawned on her, could it be possible that they were scheming to try and get herself and Naozumi back together?
~*To Be Continued*~
A/N: Short, I know.. But I wanted the date to be in the next chapter so.. That's where I am leaving you =P hehe, sorry.
