Chapter Two of "To Stalk Hiro-Kun".
The Deal
Hello! This is Obscured Illusions, AKA Katie-sama. Hitomi-chan and I decided to write the fic off and on, (She does chapter one, I do chapter two, etc etc). So, here goes nothing! I dedicate my chapter to Hitomi.
----------------------------
Shuuichi happily agreed and the two girls lulled him inside. Once he was in, Katie shut the door behind him then, laughing, the two girls jumped inside and started the van, driving off. Hiro watched in horror.
"No!" He screamed. "Shuuichi! My love! Come back here!" He then ran after the van, running after his hopeless love that had just been kidnapped.
----------------------------
Hiro ran after the van, heedless of the fatigue that would inevitably befall him. "Shuu…" he cried out in a slowly waning voice. But the loyal and true guitarist kept running after the elusive white van, to save his secret love, Shuuichi.
"Katie, what do we do now?" a puzzled Hitomi asked.
"Uhh… keep driving, I'll think of something," Katie said, eyebrows furrowed.
"But…" said Hitomi, uneasily.
"I'm thinking! Shush," the worried girl snapped.
"But we're near the Bad Luck office! If K finds us here, with Shuuichi, we're dead! Oi, what a time for us to be killed by an insane American," Hitomi groaned.
"You're the one driving! Why were you driving this way? Do you have a death wish?" Katie squealed. "Pull over… there!" she pointed. As soon as the van pulled into the vacant space, Katie immediately leaped out of the OtakuMobile and started covering it with dead brush and tree limbs. As she was furiously working, she heard a slight cough from behind her.
"Ahem," the voice stated. "What are you doing in my parking space?"
The girl whirled around, ready to make a completely irrelevant comment to dissuade the man from blowing their cover, when she saw who the speaker was. Instead, she was speechless over who exactly the man was. "To… Tohma Seguchi?!" she stuttered. "How… Why… What do you need, sir?" she asked, reverently.
An impatient voice sounded out of the driver's side of the van. "Katieeeee!! What's taking you so long!! Shuu-chan can't stay in there forever, can he? We didn't put in any air holes!"
Tohma smirked. "Shuu-chan? I'm assuming that means Shuuichi Shindou, Bad Luck's vocalist. And why exactly do you have him?" he asked, intrigued.
"Hitomi? Come here please…" Katie said, faintly. "We have a slight problem…"
A car door slammed, scattering the supply of leaves and brush that were to be used as a camouflage. "Yes, Katie-sama? And are you sure he doesn't need air?" Hitomi asked, while walking around the side of the vehicle. "And what happened to Hi-" she started, before she stopped in her tracks from shock. "What is HE doing here?" she whispered out of the side of her mouth to her friend.
"I can hear you perfectly well you know…" the blonde man sighed. "Ok, now let me put it to you this way. Explain why Shuuichi is locked inside your van, or else I will have to make sure that his manager finds out about this." he threatened smugly. The two otakus sweat dropped.
Katie spoke up first. "Fine. We wanted to see if we could make a relationship work with Hiro and Shuuichi. We already know that Hiro loves Shuu-chan, but he's very jealous of Eiri-san. So, we devised a plan to make sure that Hiro-kun could rescue his love, therefore winning Shuu's affection," she stated, matter of factly.
"Katie! Why did you tell him? You know he'll just manipulate us and Shuu too!" Hitomi frenziedly declared. "Hey, that rhymed!" she said, cheerfully.
Katie rolled her eyes at her friend's antics. "I told him because I think we can trust him. That is, as long as we can enlist his help…" she said slyly, looking through deviously half shut eyes at Tohma.
"What's in it for me?" he finally asked, interested in the two otakus plans. "I might be interested."
Hitomi perked up, eager to answer his question. "See, if Shuu falls in love with Hiroshi, that leaves Yuki alllll alone. I wonder who would be around to claim him?" she wondered, mischievously.
The great Tohma Seguchi put a hand on his chin, pondering the appealing offer. He then subtly glanced up, catching the two girl's eyes. "Lets get to work," he affirmed.
Katie's eyes lit up, ecstatic that the master manipulator himself had agreed to involve himself in their escapade. As she was about to jump for joy, glomp Tohma, run around in circles, and various other ways of showing gratitude, she felt a tug on her sleeve.
"Seriously, Shuu-kun needs to get some air, and whatever happened to Hiro?" Hitomi-chan asked.
Katie sweat dropped, and sheepishly draped her arm behind her head, scratching her neck. "I'm not exactly sure…"

Scene Change
----------------------------
"Must… find… Shuu…" the long haired guitarist panted. Finally, he slowed down and collapsed on the sidewalk from exhaustion. His legs still made half running moves, as if he was still chasing the van.
"Got… to get up… got to find… that van…" he mumbled incoherently. Pushing himself onto his feet out of sheer will, he trudged on, using his remaining strength to reunite himself with his love.
He followed the trail of black tire marks, knowing they were from the automobile he was pursuing due to the lack of precaution by the driver. "I'll get there no matter what," he told himself determinedly.
----------------------------
Back to the Previous Scene
----------------------------
Hitomi rushed over to the back of their van, keen on letting the air-deprived, pink haired vocalist out. As she swung open the doors for all (Ok, so maybe not all, only Katie and Tohma) to see, the small group went from surprised (O.O) to resigned (-.-;;) all in one fell swoop. Shuuichi was sitting on top a pile of out dated newspapers, happily munching on some strawberry pocky, multiple boxes strewn around him.
He looked up, surprised, and put a big grin onto his face. "Hey guys! Thanks for the pocky! But can I go back to the studio now? K will put a bullet through me if I'm late again…" he looked up again at the people facing him. "Tohma! Is that you? I thought it was! Fujusaki is really a whiz at the keyboards, thanks for letting him join Bad Luck! I'm glad that if I couldn't do the keyboards, at least he could. One day, me, Hiro, Fujusaki, and K were on the set of a video, and we heard this horrible noise, right? And-"
He was cut off smoothly by the N. G. keyboardist. "Shuuichi, that's wonderful. Now, let me introduce you to these girls. This is…" He waited for the girls to identify themselves.
"Hi! I'm Hitomi. Pleased to meet you! I love Bad Luck, especially your new single!" Hitomi started to sing the song, but was interrupted by her friend.
"And I'm Katie. Nice to meetcha. By the way, you have some pocky on your shirt." she pointed out.
"Yup! I knew that." Shuuichi answered cheerfully. "Where's Hiro?"
The group sweat dropped, dreading the answer they would have to give the adorable singer. Thankfully, (or not so thankfully) they were interrupted by a loud shot coming through the door of the studio. Then they heard an enraged voice spouting bits of random English.
"Where the HELL are those oafs!? THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE OVER AN HOUR AGO! I DEMAND SOMEONE TO GO FIND THEM!" the voice raged.
Hitomi, Katie, and Tohma sweat dropped once again. Shuuichi was about to raise his voice to tell his manager that he was there, when he was grabbed from behind by Tohma, and stashed in the back of the trunk (yet again). The leftover group immediately raced into the van, almost squishing each other in the process, Hitomi at the wheel.
"Quick! Get out of here!" Katie screeched. The doors of the OtakuMobile quickly shut, as Hitomi put her foot down on the gas, van zooming away at the speed of light. Needless to say, she ran over quite a few squirrels and other various things as they put more and more distance behind them.
TBC…
----------------------------
A/N: Yay! I had fun writing that. It's not as funny as Hitomi's part, but that's okay, right? ;; Well, please review! Hitomi will come up with a new chapter soon.
Hitomi: Shhhhh! When did I say that?
Katie: Oh, believe me. You will. ::glares evilly at Hitomi::
Hitomi: ::nervous laughter:: Oh, okay then!! Heh heh…
Tune in next time! On "To Stalk Hiro-Kun!" Yeah.
