Chapter 6
"Rio-san called asking if Sagami-kun 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 Sana, could it be possible that they were scheming to try and get herself and Naozumi back together?
*~*~
Sana woke up bright and early on Saturday, well... 9:00, which to Sana was quite early, still. She immediatly began grooming herself, as well as looking for the perfect outfit to wear to her and Akito's first date. Not just anything would do, it had to be something special! But what.. He had seen most of her outfits already.
"Mama!" she shouted out as she started tossing clothing out of her walk in closet.
"You hollered?" Misako said, hopping out of her car and walking into Sana's room in her night gown, Maro-chan sleeping on a bed on top of her head.
"Mama, I don't know what to wear to our date today!" Sana whined desperatly.
Misako looked at her and tilted a brow at her daughter's odd behaviour.
"I want to wear something nice, that he hasn't seen before!"
"Hmm.. Something dressy or casual?" Misako asked, apparently the wheels inside her head were already turning at mach speed.
"More on the dressy side.. I want it to be something Akito will like!"
"Let me see.." Misako said, disappearing into the walk in closet and begginning to toss out clothing as Sana had been doing only moments before. "Ah! Here it is!"
Misako emerged from the closet with a knee length white dress with green leaves on it, in one hand, in the other she had a white zip up pull-over.
"What do you think?"
Sana smiled thoughtfully and nodded her head. "Sure, it looks good to me! Thanks so much, I love you mama!" she said quickly. "Now for the hair.."
So Sana and Mama set to work getting Sana ready and feeding her breakfast so she would be ready when Akito arrived.
When the doorbell rang, Sana sprang to life and flew to the door. She smoothed her dress and pulled open the door to come face to face with Akito who wore painted denim jeans, a long sleeved blue and black top and a black jacket covering it. She felt her heart do flip-flops just looking at him.
"Ready to go?" he asked her, eyeing her outfit and her hair that she had put two green hair clips in and left down.
"Just have to grab some shoes." she said, pulling on a pair of white shoes to match her dress.
"You... Look.. Pretty okay.." he said, looking around nervously, not really sure how to say anything without making a fool of himself. She looked really cute, but he didn't know how to tell her properly.
"Thanks. So do you." she said with a smile, standing up and calling back to her mom, "Bye Mama! See you later!" she shut the door behind her and hugged onto Akito's arm as they walked.
"So, did you hear my family is coming for dinner..?" Akito asked, sounding a little more than nervous as they walked together.
Sana nodded, "Yeah.. I don't understand what's going on.. You think they are seriously trying to get us engaged?"
"Don't know.." he said, looking down at her with eyes that were so much kinder now than when Sana had first met him. So much more love was in them than ever before..
"Oh well. I guess it wouldn't be too bad, would it?" she said, frowning thoughtfully as they reached the movie theater.
Akito nodded silently, "I'll be right back."
Sana released him and let him go get the tickets, silently hoping that the marriage thing wasn't getting to him, but she figured it must be. She just hoped that their parents wouldn't be the cause of a fight or break up.. Not after she had waited so long to get him as her own.
While she waited for him, she heard a voice call to her from behind.
"Yo! Kurata!"
She turned around and felt her heart tremble, this couldn't be happening! She had to be trapped in a nightmare! But.. There he was. Soyama Tori was running over to her, in another suit that wasn't missing arms this time.
"T-Tori-kun!" she exclaimed in nervous shock. "Fancy meeting you here.."
He nodded to her with a flawless grin, "Thought I would take a day to watch a good movie. You?"
"Erm.." Sana tried to think of what to say when Akito jogged up behind her, his eyes cold as he glared at Tori like a wild animal cornering it's prey.
"Sana, who's this?" Akito asked, glaring at the bishounen who smirked at his remark.
"Soyama Tori, the actor, Hayama Akito, my boyfriend, he has a black belt in karate."
Tori grinned, if possible, wider. "Is that so? I am also a black belt in karate. Second level black belt!"
Akito glared harder at him as he took Sana's hand, "Come on, Sana. We have a movie to catch."
"See you monday, Kurata-chan!" Tori called, winking at her again.
Sana lowered her eyes as she walked with Akito into the theater, him handing their tickets to the ticket taker.
"Who is that moron, Sana?" he asked, his voice cold still.
Sana frowned, "Tori is the guy my character get's engaged to in the movie.."
Akito nearly stumbled when he heard this. "What?! Him? That bishounen freak?"
"Yah.." Sana said, feeling guilty by Akito's surge of jealousy.
He moved his arm around her waist protectively, eyes darting around.
"There's our movie!" Sana exclaimed, pointing towards a large door.
The couple ducked into the dimly lit theater and sat down as close to the back as possible for the best view of the movie.
Sana silently pleaded in her head that Tori wouldn't be seeing the same movie.. She hadn't thought to ask him.
"Akito.. Don't worry about him, all right?" she whispered, laying her head against his muscular chest and nuzzled it affectionatly.
"Ya.." he replied, blushing at the way she was trying to make him feel better. He couldn't help but worry, though. Not when a suave bishounen was on her case, well, two if he counted Naozumi. He rested his chin on her head gently, his mind whirling thoughtfully as he silently vowed to keep those guys from getting too close to his girlfriend in anything but the movie they were making.
~*~*
The couple left the movie, Sana beaming at Akito who seemed to be impressed with the action movie they had seen.
"Yo! Hayama and Kurata!"
Sana could feel Akito tense up as Tori ran over to them with a wave.
"Hey! Enjoy the movie?" he asked, a smile on his face.
Sana nodded, "Yeah, we loved it! Right, Akito?"
"Ya.." Akito said, eyes narrowed angrily as he stared at Tori.
"Anyways, I have a commercial to film. See ya Sana-chan!" he took off once again and Sana felt Akito relaxe a little bit.
"It's okay.." she insisted, looking up at him with a frown. "Forget him. Really.."
"I don't like that guy.." he muttered as they left the theater and headed down the street into town.
"Neither do I.." Sana said, but she only half meant it. He seemed like an okay guy, although a bit too flirty. He needed to learn not to flirt with girls who were already taken.
"Where do you want to eat?" he asked her, trying to take his mind off guys hitting on his girlfriend.
"Anywhere is fine. Why not sushi?" she asked, a smile widdening on her face.
"I don't hate that idea.." he said thankfully, feeling a little better at the idea of sushi.
The two made their way to a nearby sushi place and sat down by the sushi bar. Their lunch wasn't overly eventful, they ate more than they actually talked, but that was nothing new. After paying, the two headed back for Sana's house together.
"Hey Akito.." Sana said softly, her mind had been thinking endlessly about Rei and she wanted to know what Akito's thoughts were on what she had heard about him the other night.
"Ya?" He asked her, looking down at her with a neutral look on his face.
"Last night Mama told me that Rei-kun went to meet up with Naozumi-kun's manager.." Sana said uncertainly, not sure what to make of the infortmation as of yet.
Akito blinked, his face turning confused as he seemed to think about this. "He's having an affair?"
Sana face vaulted at this and shook her head, "Be serious!"
"I was.." Akito said with a tilt of his eyebrow.
"You don't think that they may be trying to hook Naozumi-kun and I back up, do you?" She frowned with worry, not sure if it was her imagination running away with her or intuition.
Akito frowned deeply at this thought and shook his head. "Even if they are, I won't let Kamura touch you.." he said with a hint of menace in his voice that Sana hadn't heard in quite some time.
"All right." she replied, leaning against him as the walked up to the door of her house. "Are you coming in or are you coming back with your family, later?"
"Heading home." he said simply, he leaned over and kissed her full on the mouth again.
She put her arms around him, warmth racing through her as her heart sped up and she became lost in the moment.
"Ahem.."
The two broke apart, blushing wildly as they noticed Misako standing behind them, a mischievious smirk on her face.
"Save that for after the wedding."
Sana sweatdropped. She couldn't quite understand how her mom always seemed to find ways of sneaking up on her like that.
Akito winced at the word wedding, he loved Sana, yes, but they were only in highschool. They weren't supposed to be making wedding plans.
"Hayama-kun, are you going to come in?" Misako asked him with a mysterious look to her.
"Dad wants me to come home." he said simply, eyeing her right back, trying to figure out what she was up to. He knew something wasn't right by the look in her eyes, but he didn't know what exactally she was doing.
"All right then." Misako said with a nod. "We'll see you at dinner."
Akito waved, "See you later." and took off.
"I love you, Akito!" Sana yelled after him, nearly causing him to fall over.
Misako smiled down on her daughter and ushered her into the house.
"Sana, Kurumi-san came early tonight, she's staying for dinner as well, and she wanted to know if you would reherse with her."
Sana blinked and nodded absent-mindedly. "Sure.." she said, looking around the room. "Where is she?"
"In the living room with Sagami."
Sana nodded, her mind whirling with thoughts of Rei with Rio as she wandered off into the living room where Asako and Rei were sitting on the couch talking.
"Yo hoo!" Sana called, waving widely as she hopped onto the arm chair.
"Ah, Sana-chan!" Asako said, simply beaming with happiness, "Did you hear about the wedding plans?"
Sana sweatdropped and nodded.
"Don't you think it may be a little bit too soon?" she asked, tipping her head to the side thoughtfully, Rei keeping quiet at her side.
"Yeah. But Mama seems very excited.." Sana said with an inward sigh. She was getting really worried about this now.
"Anyhow, let's practise, shall we?" Asako asked cheerfully.
~*~*
Sana leapt from her chair when the doorbell rang. "Akito!" she cried out, running towards the door where Misako was letting the Hayama's in. Her mom had beaten her to the door again!
"Sana-chan!" Natsumi called, she wore a striped turtleneck in blues and greens with a blue suade skirt. She slipped into her slippers and jogged over to her. "How have you been? Akito better be keeping his paws to himself.." she said, eyeing her brother in warning.
Sana smiled as she saw Akito walking over, she chuckled at Natsumi's concern, knowing she used to be afraid of him because he was so grabby. "I'm fine, thanks. Don't worry, he's being good."
"Who's being good?" Akito asked, grabbing her around the waist and pulling her into a hug.
"Hey!" Sana protested with a giggle.
"You better be a gentleman around Sana-chan.." Natsumi said, frowning with distaste. "If he hurts you I will beat him for you, Sana-chan."
"Ah, thanks, I think." Sana said with a sweatdrop, snuggling up to Akito who seemed a lot happier now than he had earlier, thankfully.
"It's great to have you here Hayama-kun." Misako said to Akito's dad.
"It's good to be here." he agreed, looking over at Sana and Akito and saying, "Look at our little couple. This is going to be great."
Sana and Akito looked at each other, blinking in confusion. Sana smiled nervously, she had only just noticed how close his face was to hers.. She reminded herself it was okay now. It wasn't like he was fooling around, they were dating now. Her heart pounded fast as he leaned in to kiss her, his lips were milimeters away when:
"Akito!" Natsumi scolded, "Don't do that right now! Dad's standing right there!" she pointed to where their dad and Sana's mom were standing, whispering and chuckling to themselves. They seemed to frown however when they noticed Akito pull away, his face burning with embarrassment.
"Sorry.." he muttered, looking away in irritation.
"Shall we head into the dining room? Ohh! Sana, could you get Sagami-kun and Kurumi-san for me, please?" Misako said, her eyes glittering with something Sana didn't quite recognise at the moment. It left her unerved as she nodded her head.
"Yes, Mama." she said, starting to leave when Akito's father said, "Akito, you go with her."
"Y..Ya.." he replied, jogging over to her and taking her by the hand as they walked towards the living room.
"They are acting so strange.." Sana whispered to him.
"Yeah.." he agreed, un-sure what to make of any of their families' strange behaviour.
"Time for dinner!" Sana called as they walked into the living room where Asako was continuing to read out her lines to Rei.
"Ah! The happy couple!" Asako said with a smile that truely seemed to blossom.
Sana blushed and looked over at Rei who was giving Akito another glare that Akito returned as usual.
"We'll be right there, thanks Sana-chan." Rei said grudgingly.
"Okay.." Sana said.
Sana and Akito left the room and headed into the dining room and froze in the doorway. They weren't hearing this right.. They couldn't be!
"I think traditional would be best." Akito's father said firmly.
"I agree. But what about the date?" Misako said with a purse of her lips.
"What kind of food should we serve? I can do some of the cooking if you want!" Natsumi said, her voice dripping with excitement.
"We'll decide on that later. But first, the date.." Misako said thoughtfully.
"How about the week after school get's out?" Akito's father suggested. There was silence as the three paused to think this through.
"I think that's a great idea, Hayama-kun." Misako praised with one of her strange laughs.
"Then we just need to make invitations and get them fitted for outfits." Natsumi said with a squeal of delight. "I'm so excited! They make such a cute couple!"
Sana and Akito looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes wide with fear and shock. What were they going to do? It was far too soon to say they would be together forever, wasn't it? But, at the rate they were going, they would be married in a matter of months!
