I'm bored so yeah Thought about this a few hours ago but well, I'll just make the prologue.
The fic will have 2 Types/Seasons. Type-A and Type-B. Type-A will focus on the insides of AKB48 itself and Type-B will focus on the challenges one of the main characters would face, possibly resulting in her finding her fated partner. There are two protagonists, the main focus of the story. High possibility of there being pairings in this fic, but I don't know yet.
I'm doing this just for fun so it depends on my mood of the day. I'll just wait for feedbacks. I don't know when I'll update this since I'm focusing on the other fics but I guess I'll put in what's to come, so that I could drop off a huge load of ideas, to make way for the others.
Oh yeah, this will probably contain the usual pairings, I meant in Type-A. And it will also follow some famous events that happened inside AKB, showing us what actually happened (or might not have)
=========================================="From now on, you're going to be the Center of this group."
The old man said, fixing his glasses while leaning to his chair telling the girl his wish. The girl was shocked. She didn't know what to do nor does she know what to make of it. She thought of many other things. Why her? Why not the others? There was nothing special about her. She was plain, normal and boring. If she was going to be the one on the group's spotlight, then people would find them very boring.
She bit her lip and clenched her fist, thinking of her fellow comrades. They have been very nice to her from the beginning of the group. They were there for her when she needed it the most. They've been comrades in arms, teammates... They were a family. A family with the same dream. She didn't know how they would react to the news. She was already aware of the frail balance between them. 'The nail that sticks out, shall be hammered in', she believed in that phrase more than anyone. She didn't want to be that 'nail'.
"NO!" The girl shouted, rejecting the man's offer and ideal. A mere thought of her hurting her friends brought tears into her eyes. No, she was already crying.
The girl sobbed, crying like a child, while still looking at the man in front of her. Even though she was scared, she knew very well of the man's stubbornness. He had told her and her comrades to believe in her since the start of the group. She didn't want to disobey him then, but her comrades are far more important to her.
Another man sighed a knowing sigh. He knew the girl far more than the other man ever would. He knew the girl would turn down the offer. She wasn't the type of girl who would like to stand out. He then eyed the other man and gave him a signal with his eyes, telling the other man the he was going to leave the two alone for the time being.
After the man had left, the girl was finally tired of crying for about 10 minutes or so. She then looked at the man, teary-eyed after looking down. But what she saw wasn't she expected.
"You WILL do it, Maeda." the man ordered.
The girl, Maeda Atsuko, was speechless. She didn't say anything but rejections from the start. She truly didn't want to be of such. She would do anything and everything in her power to get off of the deal, because not only did the man want her to be the Center, but he had also made a condition for her.
"You will become an assassin."
"I WON'T!"
She shouted, her mind made up. Even though that man has taught her many things, but it was the first time that he said to do something far more than she could handle. Killing is an art, but she wasn't an artist.
Seconds became minutes, and the silence grew to more than what they would've thought. The silence was killing her, she was used to the silence but when there was silence with one of the man she trusts the most, then the silence was a lot more uncomfortable. She then looked down, not looking at the man. Her mind has already been made up.
"I see..."
The man sighed, crossing her arms as her looked down and leaned to his chair. That was a sign of victory for Maeda but then she didn't know what was coming to her. She looked up and then saw a smile on the man's face. But the smile... wasn't the smile she wanted to see.
======
"LET ME OUT!"
Maeda shouted, trying to break the iron bars open as she shook them hardly, hoping for them to let her out, but that wasn't the case. It was dark, she could not see anything but the beads of light coming from the opened door far from the corridor. The man tried to pat the girl on the head but was stopped from Maeda's attempt of biting his hands off.
"Feisty, aren't we?" he joked, earning a glare and a scowl from the girl. He then continued after the comment, "I want you to stay in here, think of all the possibilities." he explained, "Though you can only come out once you've agreed."
She then heard footsteps, telling her the man was about to leave. "OI!" she tried to reach to him but couldn't. The iron bars were in the way. After the door closed, what came was darkness. She didn't see anything. No trace of light, not even fresh air. All she could hear was some sort of machine which was probably responsible for giving her the chance to breathe and also the drippings of water.
"I'm... gonna... stay here...?"
======
Three days have passed. The man appeared before her again. He would come once a day, to look at her progress. Whenever the bead of light was shone in front of her, it felt as if she was going to turn blind. She squinted and recognized the presence of the man standing in front of her.
"You still alive?"
He asked jokingly, putting on an irritating smile which obviously pissed off the girl. At the least, the man had given her a loaf of bread and a glass of water each day. It was hard for her, but at the least, that could get her to live. She was asked the same question each day on the man's visit to irritate her more.
"Surprising, huh?"
She grinned evilly. The three days had already changed her entire mind and personality. She was far more vigorous than before, because she had learned that this was her fate. She let all the things happen to her but she wasn't satisfied yer. The sarcasm caused the man to smile as well.
"I knew that this was the right choice..." he said, nodding to himself.
"Then let me out already, dumbass." Maeda mocked, for her personality has grown into something not fit for her job.
"No can do, Maeda." he scoffed, but Maeda wasn't affected. She sighed and thought of something.
"What happened to my spot? Didn't anyone realize that I'm not there?" she asked.
"You've been temporarily replaced by your Doppelganger." he spoke the truth.
Maeda was shocked. She didn't believe that there was somebody with the same look as her. Fans should have realized the difference between her and the Doppelganger by now but why didn't they? A feeling of disappointment grabbed her chest as she slumped back into the corner of her cell, thinking of what she did to deserve such treatment.
"Just one word can get you out of here, Maeda." the man said again as he realized the girl's situation.
"No." she replied immediately, not giving the man the time to negotiate much.
The man sighed and then left, leaving the sad state of the girl, who was down for the count but her will still lives.
======
"A week already..." Maeda said, not to anybody but herself.
She had found a certain comfort for talking to herself. She wanted entertainment. And what else could she do? She couldn't sing since her voice was far worse because of the crying nights and also the fact that a certain fear was building up inside of her for not seeing light at all. She was then feeling insecure of herself. She didn't remember at all of how she looked like, what she acted like and who she did this for. For what was she here? She didn't know but she was almost collapsing already.
"I wonder if everyone still remembers me or not..."
A week had already made her forgetful of most things. What did her friends look like? Does she have any friends? Who did she mean by anyone?
Insecurity and depression hit her yet again as she hugged her cold body, trying to become as small as possible in the corner, the corner she had loved so much. Tears started to roll down her cheeks from her already red eyes. The red eyes that had become of such because of her crying far too much. She had cried for at least 4 hours per day. She was a girl. It was obvious to say that her heart had grown weaker than normal.
"It's... dark..."
She stated the obvious thing she had been saying for almost a hundred times per day. She bit her lip, realizing the darkness surrounding her had made her lonely and cold.
Another reason why she did such was because she didn't want to forget how to speak. She was afraid of the society outside. But in all honesty...
"What DID the outside look like...?"
She has forgotten even that.
======
How much time has passed? Three weeks? A month? She didn't know. She didn't care. She had lost everything. Her voice, her words and her mentality. Her eyes had became lonely, dark, fragile, unknowing, even. She didn't move. All her strength had left her body. She didn't even want to move a muscle. A false hope she had grasped.
"You still alive?"
The irritating question yet again, but this time, he was sounding a bit more serious than usual. Maeda didn't even care. She didn't answer, she didn't wave, she didn't make a comeback. All she could do was stare at the brick wall next to her, her one and only friend.
"I suppose it's time." he opened the cell, letting the girl out, but she didn't move. "Let's go." he nudged her.
Maeda sighed, and once she stood up, the room temperature became colder than the usual. Even though it was cold, the man's sweat dropped, feeling the giant presence in front of her. The eyes which he never even realized. The eyes which looked so frail, so fragile, so lost, was the eyes of something far more terrifying.
The eyes of a killer.Once Maeda stepped outside the underground chamber, seeing the light from a light bulb after such a long time, her eyes became blurry, it might've been that she was going to turn blind. The light was too bright for her to take.
"..." she squinted her eyes, even though she feels the pain in her eyes, she didn't falter. She only moved forward.
"Here." the man showed her a picture and also a paper containing an address.
Maeda looked at it and then after a glance, she left. She didn't run but slowly walk towards the exit. She was greeted by people she had never remembered, or was it that she had forgotten them? She didn't know and she didn't care. All of that didn't mean anything to her.
She then stepped outside, greeted by the night and moonlight, and also the bustling noises of vehicles.
======
"Go with the usual." a man said to his subordinates, closing the briefcase, slowly and gently.
"By your orders, Godfather." another man bowed and left to take care of the errand that had befell him.
The man, lighting his cigarette, leaned on his chair and looked at the spinning fan. He followed the movement of said fan and found himself dizzy from all the spinning. He then smoked his cigar and after a few puffs, he extinguished it by stepping on it after spatting it to the floor.
"A life of a leader never gets easy..." he remarked and covered his face with his hat, sleeping on his chair.
What he didn't know was that there was someone watching him. A figure of darkness, fading itself in the dark, used to it's every nature. She then moved closer to him, not making any sound, footsteps nor any of the movements which would wake the man up.
She raised her knife and without second thought, she slashed down, chopping the man's head off, with the man's blood spreading all over the room, the ceiling and more importantly, her blank face. She thought of nothing but to kill. She needed to kill the man for some reason. For what reason? She didn't know. Biting her lips as she looked at the headless man in front of her, tears came out, finally realizing that she had killed a person right that moment. And because of that,
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As if letting all the pain, the loneliness, the pressure, the sadness, the regrets, and all of the things that had befell her for the last few weeks, she screamed out to nobody but herself.
And thus she disappeared from the yakuza's nest.
======
After telling the man that she had done the job, she took a bath, cleansing herself from the blood, the regret and the past. She sighed and when she got out of the bath, she was greeted by a fairly short girl, who was tying her hair up in a ponytail. She didn't know who that was but for some reason, unlike the others, she felt her mind still remembered the girl fairly well.
"Minami?" she greeted. Her first word in the outside.
"... Put your clothes on." Takahashi covered her blushing face from looking at her friend's smooth skin and developing body.
Maeda put on her clothes and while she was changing, she was molested by a certain person that came out to her from behind.
"Yuko?" she asked, not really minding the perverted girl who was rubbing her chest.
"'Evening, Acchan~" the already accustomed girl showed her goofy smile to Maeda.
Takahashi sighed and grabbed the older girl away, lecturing her of to not do such unsightly actions in public. In the whole lecture, Oshima was drooling and rolling around on the floor, not minding the even madder Takahashi who had her foot down. Takahashi, embarrassed at herself for the girl's unsightly behavior before and after, wrestled the girl, hitting her at places which caused the other girl to grin and wrestled each other to the death.
Seeing her two friends going at it so seriously at each other, Maeda laughed a laugh which made the other girls stop their actions. They saw the smile which was missing from the Maeda they were with for the time. They were happy as well. The smile of the girl was something special to them. It had been one of the reasons of why everyone in AKB48 could try harder than they already can. They smiled at the smiling girl, knowing that the girl has turned back to the usual Maeda whom they knew and loved from the depths of their hearts.
After that, they would never have guessed, that the girl would become an undeniable existence within the group, making the others starting to hate her in any way possible and also that the girl... caused a murder scene known by the yakuza as 'The start of the the Dark Assassin's legacy'
The start of the bashing, the pain, the pressure, a far more darker age than what the fans had thought. The secret of AKB48, and the growing relationship of two individuals...
[Kinjirareta Futari -Behind Their Backs-] As if by fate, the two had encountered each other in a cruel moment. A gun was aimed at the taller girl, as the shorter girl glared at her, realizing the figure after the lights adjusted into her eyes. Their mouth gaped open as they looked at each other, an awkward, uncomfortable, unbelievable moment due to coincidence. The shorter girl didn't lose her poker face, she gulped and faced the reality in front of her.
The two pairs, the forbidden relationship.
"Nice to meet you, Matsui Rena." she feigned ignorance of the reality in front of her.
"Maeda.... -san?"
The two built their respective group mentally, rebuilding it from the fallen aspects which destroyed the girls. And their destiny, was only a gunshot away.[END OF PROLOGUE]So how was it? Kinda weird I guess?
The title doesn't actually mean anything perverted~ But yeah, it's for Atsuko and Rena.
Chill, it's not actually AtsuRena.
I ship WMatsui more

And as for those who realized, yes, this fic has something to do with my other OS's. So ya'll get it =w='' It's gonna be a wee bit dark...
It will also have something to do with real life events, such as the dome concerts, the stage failures, the variety shows, anything that's AKB-related that I could remember, thus how I got 'Acchan rejecting the offer to become Center and crying afterwards'
Don't be down, AtsuRena fans
