Chapter 13
Sachiko started to answer when Naozumi jogged over to Sana with a beaming grin on his face. A blue t-shirt and faded jeans on his thin frame.
"Time for us to film, Sana-chan." he said cheerfully, nodding to Sachiko. "Good evening, Sachiko-chan."
"Err.. I'll tell you later, Sana-chan." Sachiko said, forcing a smile as she looked over at Naozumi with a nod of her head. "Good evening."
Sana nodded to Sachiko. "Okay." She turned to Naozumi and nodded to him as well. "Lead the way."
Naozumi and Sana then headed off to film, leaving Sachiko by herself, a frown on her face, until Asako ran over to her and told her it was time for her to get into costume as well.
~*~*
"And... That's a wrap! Good work you two!"
Sana smiled hyperly. "All right! We did it Naozumi-kun!"
He laughed good-naturedly at her happiness. "I'm glad you're so excited about it."
"You guys did well. I'm very pleased."
Sana and Naozumi looked over as Mitsuko weaved through cameras and over to them in a red tank-top with a short white skirt, a red hair-band placed in her hair.
"Mitsuko-chan!" Sana said, surprised that she bothered to show up for filming. "It's nice to see you."
Mitsuko smiled to her and nodded her head gently. "You, too! You guys did a good job. I knew that you would from the start, however."
"I'm suprised to see you here, Mitsuko-san.." Naozumi said with a blink of confusion. He apparently thought the same way as Sana did.
"I'm just as big of a fan of yours as any normal person." Mitsuko said with a chuckle. "You should know that I wouldn't stay home when you guys are all working."
Naozumi nodded silently, a blush covering his face.
Sana understood what she meant. Mitsuko seemed a lot like a normal girl to her. Maybe she could invite Mitsuko shopping and find out what she knew about Naozumi's girlfriend.
"Say, Mitsuko-chan. Would you think about coming shopping with Sachiko-chan and I?"
The girl's face seemed to light up at this. "Really? You want me to come with you guys?"
Sana blinked in confusion at her reaction. "Yeah. I'm sure we can all become really good friends."
"I'd love to come!" She said brightly, smiling over at Naozumi who just blinked at her absent-mindedly. She looked back to Sana and added, "Oh, do you think I could..umm.." she blushed, lowering her eyes. "Bring along my boyfriend?"
Mitsuko had a boyfriend? Sana had no idea at all. This could be very interesting. Maybe she would try and drag along Akito. "Sure, the more the merrier!"
"Are you sure that's a good idea, Mitsuko-san?" Naozumi asked her, eyeing her uncertainly.
She shrugged. "I don't see why not. I don't care what anyone says about me. I can date whoever I want."
He nodded his agreement.
"Naozumi-kun!"
He turned around and spotted Rio waving him over.
"AH, I'll see you guys later. Bye!" Naozumi jogged off towards Rio-san and the two walked off, talking something over.
Sana blinked in the direction they left and then turned back to Mitsuko. "He seems protective of you."
'Like a brother would be...' she added in her mind.
"You think so..?" Mitsuko's faced stayed flushed as she glanced in the direction he had gone in. "I guess I see what you mean.."
"Do you think we should make the date for this Sunday?" Sana asked, not sure if Sachiko was free, but she would be sure to ask her.
"Uhh.." Mitsuko seemed to think up her schedule in her head. She slowly shook her head. "I don't think I have plans on Sunday afternoon."
"Great!" Sana said hyperly. "Sunday afternoon we'll all go shopping together!"
Mitsuko started to say something when Sachiko called over to Sana.
"Sana-chan. costume change for you before the next shot." She told her.
"Ah, we'll talk later, Mitsuko-chan."
Mitsuko nodded to her. "Okay. Work hard for me!"
"I will!" Sana said, waving as she ran over to Sachiko.
*~*~
Sana came out of the costume trailer in a red mini-skirt and pink tank-top, her hair up in a single ponytail as she bounded back over to Sachiko who wore denim jeans and a green button down t-shirt.
"We're ready!" Sana said hyperly.
Sachiko smiled and nodded, her green hair bouncing loosely with the smooth gesture.
"What were you going to say earlier?" Sana asked, blinking in confusion as her and Sachiko headed over to the place where Asako and Tori were talking to the director.
Sachiko blushed and shook her head. "Don't worry about it.."
"Come on, Sachiko-chan.. What's wrong?"
"Uh.." Sachiko looked around and stopped her, looking around frantically as if afraid to get caught, as if she was keeping a deadly secret.
"Why did we stop..?" Sana looked at her un-certainly, wondering why her reaction was so strange.
Sachiko lowered her eyes and frowned, in a low whisper she whispered. "I... Like Soyama-san.."
"WHAT?!" Sana exclaimed, gaining stares from almost everyone around them.
"Shhh..." Sachiko put her hand over Sana's mouth with a sigh. "I don't want him to find out.."
"It's okay! I have an idea!" Sana said once she removed Sachiko's hand from her face.
"S-Sana-chan..."
"Not now. Let's go!" Sana said, grinning at the idea playing about in her head. She didn't think it would be hard to get those two together. No way!
*~*~
"So what did you say to Soyama-kun...?" Sachiko asked Sana suspiciously as they headed towards the exit.
Sana shrugged. "Nothing much. Oh, I don't think we need to spy on you-know-who.. I have got that covered, I think."
Sachiko felt dread grow in the pit of her stomach. Something was defenatly up, but she didn't know what, yet. "Uhh..."
"Don't worry! Everything's going to be great!" she turned to Rei and Asako and waved vigorously. "Ready to go, Rei-kun!"
Rei blinked over at her and smiled, thankful for the spying game being over. "Okay, Sana-chan!" he called back, turning to Asako and escorting her to his car.
"See you on Sunday, Sachiko-chan!" Sana said as she tore off after Rei and Asako.
"B..ye..." Sachiko said, blinking after her absent-mindedly.
~*~*
"No..."
"Come on, Akito!" Sana whined, looking at him with puppy-dog eyes as she tried to persuade him to come to the mall with her on Sunday.
"I already told you, no.."
"But Tori-kun is gunna be there!" she hated to resort to this, but she knew if Akito found out Tori was coming shopping, as well, he wouldn't want her to be there without an escort.
"I'll go.."
"Good! This is going to be so much fun!"
Akito sighed, 'Yeah... Real fun.' he thought to himself, wondering why he always got dragged into these type of things.
"Tsuyoshi-kun! Aya-chan!"
He turned his attention to her and watched as she waved vigorously in the couple's direction before taking him by the hand and dragging him over to them.
"Sana-chan is energetic as always." Tsuyoshi said with a laugh.
"You guys.. Are you free on Sunday?" Sana asked them, a hopeful look on her face.
Aya and Tsuyoshi exchanged glances and then nodded.
"Yeah, why?" Aya asked her uncertainly.
"Good! We're going on a trip to the mall. Mitsuko-chan, Sachiko-chan and Tori-kun will all be there."
"Really?" Aya's eyes lit up at this. "I want to go, then! Tsuyoshi-kun...?"
He blinked at her and then nodded. "Okay."
"Great! It's settled then! Our trip to the mall is on Sunday afternoon." Sana smiled, thinking that this would be the perfect opportunity to find out Naozumi's secret.
~*~*
Sana ran down the stairs when she heard the doorbell ring. Her knee-length green skirt flying behind her as she skidded to a halt before crashing into Misako who answered the door.
"Welcome, Hayama-kun." Misako greeted him. He walked in wearing a black button down with blue dragons on it, although he left it open, exposing his muscular chest. He wore baggy navy blue jeans to match.
"You came!" Sana said, not able to hide her surprise. She wore a pale green blouse to match her skirt and had her hair held back with a dark green hair band. Her eyes skimmed over his chest and she felt her heart flutter.
"Yeah.. I told you I would." he replied, looking her over quickly. He thought she was becoming more and more pretty as the days went by, not that he would ever admit something like that.
"Be sure to show Sana a good time, Hayama-kun." Misako said with a mysterious smile as she turned and left into the kitchen.
Akito eyed her nervously until Sana clung onto his arm with an affectionate smile. "Let's go!"
He blushed lightly and nodded. "Okay.."
The couple walked together towards the mall, Akito buttoning his top once they reached the mall enterance to wait for everyone.
Sachiko bounded towards them soon after. She ran over to Sana and hugged her hyperly.
"This is going to be so much fun!"
Akito eyed her almost fearfully as she and Sana both began to chatter noisily. He quickly looked away, hoping that Tsuyoshi would get there soon to save his sanity. And he did.
"Hey!" Aya and Tsuyoshi called as they walked over to the three, hand-in-hand.
"Aya-chan! Tsuyoshi-kun!" Sana called out hyperly.
"Hi!" Sachiko said grinning, "Ashitaka, Sachiko-chan!" she said with a bow that the two both shared in.
"Nice to finally meet you." Aya said cheerfully. "Sana-chan has told us a lot about you."
Sachiko started to speak when her eyes widdened. Jogging towards them was Tori who had a cute smile on his face as he waved to them.
Sana and Aya followed her gaze and Sana smiled and waved to him.
"Tori-kun! Good to see you!"
Sachiko looked over at Sana and gave her a look that made Sana laugh. She looked like she was trying to look upset, although her eyes gave away her excitement at seeing him.
"Hi, everyone." Tori said, bowing as he introduced himself to Aya and Tsuyoshi.
"So you're Soyama-kun." Tsuyoshi said as if taking a mental picture of him.
"Glad to see I am talked about." He winked in Sana's direction and then froze, feeling like he was caught in an ice storm that froze him to the spot. He glanced over his shoulder and found Akito glaring at him angrily. "Err... So, who are we waiting for?"
"Mitsuko-san is supposed to be coming with her boyfriend.." Sana said with a look of anticipation.
After a few more minutes Mitsuko's voice broke into their thoughts.
"Sorry I'm late!"
Sana blinked in confusion as Mitsuko ran over to them with Naozumi at her side. Mitsuko was wearing a purple skirt with a matching purple and pink top that fashioned two buttons at the collar that she left un-done.
Naozumi wore black dress pants and a light blue dress shirt. He had an uneasy look on his face as him and Mitsuko joined the group.
"Mitsuko-chan.. Where's your boyfriend?" Sana asked niavely, looking all around for him. "Ah! Good afternoon Naozumi-kun!"
Naozumi and Mitsuko both looked at each other for a moment before looking back to Sana and locking their hands together with blushes in unision.
"Err... Naozumi-kun is my boyfriend.." Mitsuko said with a sheepish smile crossing her blushing face.
