Chapter 2: Only you can stop me...
----------
Locking herself in the quiet studio (nearly everyone had left) seemed to be a great experience for Sana. She gasped for air and then smiled. Laughing, she went over to the refreshment table which had two doughnuts left on it. She helped herself to one of them and laughed again, almost choking on her doughnut.
"Ah-ha!" a voice yelled from the other side of the studio. Sana froze and dropped her 'victory' doughnut. She turned around, quietly licking the white powder off of her lips so that she wouldn't look silly. On the other side of the studio, standing in the front door, was Naozumi, gasping for breath with a furious look.
Sana gulped. "I should've locked the front door!" she was furious with herself inside. Of course, in tense situations like this, she couldn't really express it. But she did have a strange look on her face, a mixture of puzzlement, fear, regret and stupidity. She looked very strange, yet had that 'don't mess with me' aura surrounding her.
Furious, Naozumi sprinted over to Sana as fast as he could and took her shoulders. "What's wrong?" he demanded. He shook her by the shoulders as she licked her lips again. "Nothing." she muttered. He shook her again.
"It's something." he demanded.
Sana's eyes started to water. "I'd rather not say..." she muttered faintly.
He shook her again. "What's wrong?" he demanded again. He had a sterner voice. Sana was then sure that he really went through puberty.
Sana broke down crying. "I said, 'Don't worry!'" she tried to yell through her sobs. "Now shut up and leave me alone!"
Naozumi crouched down. "I wanna know what's up." he asked her with a nicer voice. His voice was still deep, yet it still seemed like the same Naozumi.
"It's a long story..." Sana sobbed, looking up at him. Actually, she didn't want to look at him. She thought that looking at him may make her break down in tears again. "I...just can't say." she sobbed, looking up at the ceiling.
Naozumi took her head, made her look at him. Then he pulled her head up to his and he closed his eyes. Sana's head pounded. She didn't know what to say or do. She just went with the flow as their lips touched...
Before he kissed her, he was on her mind. Now that their lips were touching, she couldn't get him off her mind.
Hayama Akito.
----------
On the other side of the ocean, Hayama was thinking the exact same thing as Sana was as they kissed for the first time without each other. Yes, they hadn't kissed anyone other than each other since they left each other.
"Akari.." Hayama thought as he kissed the other girl. He took her chin in his palm. "I can't think about you while I'm kissing another girl...." He thought. "I'll make it seem like you're her, then she'll like me." He thought. "It'll all be like kissing you."
But it didn't work that way. Akari wasn't anything like Sana. She had reddish hair and green eyes. Pale skin. Quiet. She was Japanese though. But she didn't act like Sana did. She wasn't Sana.
Hayama broke their kiss. "I'm sorry." he apologized to Akari. "I...I just have to go." He stuttered, tripping over himself as he walked torwards the door. Akari, looking down, answered, "Okay."
Looking up at him, she saw that he was still looking at her. "Is it about your old girlfriend?" she asked him. Hayama's eyes lowered to the ground. "Yes..." he muttered. "I'm sorry." Akari lowered her eyes to the ground too. "I understand." she replied. "I know what it's like kissing your second love, you really feel bound to your first one, don't you?" She looked at him and smiled.
"Go ahead, do what you have to do." She told him. "I want you to be happy." Hayama smiled back at her. It wasn't fake this time, it was a real, thankful smile. Thankful that he had a caring girlfriend. A girlfriend that understood him.
And another girlfriend in Japan that he knew loved him too.
He ran through the main hallway of his house and turned into the kitchen. He quickly picked up the phone, picking up a phone card. He dialed in the number and then dialed in Sana's current cell phone number.
As he looked up, he saw Akari looking at him, smiling. She gave him a thumbs up. He smiled back at her, but this was a semi-fake smile. He was too anxious waiting for the phone to get picked up.
"Hello?" He quickly said, breaking his contact with Akari. She looked at him with curiosity. "Sana?"
----------
Sana looked at Naozumi when she noticed that her cell phone was vibrating. Then it started to ring. 'Chirip chirip chirip chiriiiiip chirip...' Sana, fumbling with her bag, quickly opened and answered the phone without checking to see who it was.
Her eyes widened. "Um, one second." She answered him. She excused herself from Naozumi's view when she started to talk again, in a faint whisper.
"Hayama?"
"I have something I wanna tell you." he answered.
"What...What is it?" she stuttered. She was still in shock that Hayama had called her after a year.
-----
Hayama looked at Akari. He covered up the reciever. "I'm sorry, but this is a private thing, y'know?" He looked at her hopefully. She smiled again and left the room, going to sit on the couch in the family room.
"I...I kissed another girl." He finally said, much to Sana's relief.
"Don't feel bad." he heard from the other side. "I just kissed Naozumi."
Hayama was nearly infuriated, before she said, "He made me do it."
"Okay." he deemed the situation. "As long as you didn't have sex with him." He laughed a little. "Remember your promise? 'I'm going to stay a virgin!'" He mimiced Sana's last promise. Sana made a worried, "Uh-oh."
Hayama grunted. "What?!" he shouted. "Ow, ow ow." Sana yelped from the other side of the line. "I'm just kidding, jeez. Ya don't have to scream"
Sana smiled a bit at her cleverness. "I'm good." she whispered. Hayama smiled a little bit because he heard her. "Wow, you're vain." Hayama told her.
"So, how's Japan?" Hayama asked. "Cold, I'm thinking? California is like, really hot all year round." He heard Sana laughing a bit. "I betcha miss the cold." She told him. "It's just beginning to be a bit nippy." she told him. "Jock Ice has been biting my nose for the last few days!"
Hayama burst out laughing. "It's 'Jack Frost', nitwit." he told her. He heard laughing on the other line. "How's Kamura anyway?"
-----
Sana froze. "How's....Naozumi?" she repeated.
"He's cute now." she wanted to say. "I think I've fallen in love again. I don't wanna leave you in the past, but I don't wanna leave him alone. Is it all right if I stay with him?" she kept thinking in her mind. She eventually voted against it after Hayama wook her up from her reverie. "Sana?"
Perking up, Sana quickly answered, "He's fine." Hayama replied, "Well, that's good. What about Sasaki and Sugita?" "They're fine too."
Two minutes of pause followed that last sentence.
Finally, Hayama broke the silence. "So, I guess I'll be going then." he said.
"Hayama," Sana burst out. Her voice was a bit stronger on the line now, she wasn't whispering anymore. She wanted Naozumi to hear. She knew that he's been eavesdropping since the pause. He was just around the corner of the set. He was terrible at concealing himself.
"Yeah?" Hayama replied. "What?" Sana's voice got louder as she answered, "I still love you."
Hayama smiled another happy smile. "I love you too." he answered her. Sana heard a small 'smack' as if Hayama has just blown her a kiss. Sana blew him a kiss. "Love 'ya!" she exclaimed. "So bye! For now!"
"Bye." Akito answered. "See ya." Sana hung up the phone. She looked torwards where she thought....No, knew where Naozumi was hiding.
She rounded the corner, much to Naozumi's surprise. "You're so stupid." she said, slapping him. "Eavesdropping on conversations and hiding like a little pre-schooler." She slapped him again. "And kissing me without permission!" She gave a little, "Ha!". She slapped him again.
She turned on her heel and left to leave, when he heard Naozumi pleading for her to turn back.
"Whaddya want?" she asked him. He was still on the floor. "Have sex with me. Then I'll stop bothering you." he told her. She turned around again and sprinted torwards the door. "Never!" She yelled back. "I promised the man I love that I'd lose my virginity to him and only him!"
She chuckled as she locked the door and left. She walked torwards Rei's car, waiting for him. "He probably went out for a drink." she sighed. "Always does." She walked over to the corner store across the street.
Sure enough, Rei was standing there at a soda dispenser, sipping a can of 'Ringo SHODA' "Duude, c'mon." Sana motioned across the street. "I'm ready to go." Rei threw out his drink. "Where've ya been?"
"Don't worry." She assured him. "Nothing happened." She pinched his cheek and gave a little chuckle.

Disclaimer: Once again, I do not own Kodomo no Omocha, Miho Obana does. Akari (Mizunashi) is owned by Kozue Amano (from the manga Aria). 'Ringo SHODA'is my own creation. I plan on changing the rating and the genre soon, so it's not my fault if you weren't expecting this.
A/N: I wanna stop it here so badly. But I won't! Haha! I'm not gonna make Akito return to Japan, that'll be waay past 3 chapters. I also scrapped the 4th chapter, I don't know Japanese. That just crossed my mind now. Oh well. Thank you, any of the readers that have been following so far! I hope you liked this angtsy-ish chapter!
