First's the Worst (an elder members story) [Part 2.2 Nacchi's Story]

[DO Me DO Me]

I usually don't like to post my stories until I'm completely finished writing them otherwise if I get stuck it'll be a long time till I finally come around and update it. But it seems like it happens here all the time so I guess it's ok. hehe

Well, here's a little something different from what I usually write (rokkies or GAM) it's a fic with the oldie gens (mainly Yuko, Kaori, Nacchi, and Kei) It's suppose to be short but it always ends up being long but that's ok. It's funny and crazy so I hope you like it. It took me awhile to come up with the title hehe Just a little note, just so you won't get confused the story will alternate from 3rd POV to 1st POV, depending on who's telling the story.

First's the Worst

Part 1

Fancy place here, she thought, admiring the lavish interior of the restaurant she had been invited to. She made herself comfortable in her chair as she waited for the others to arrive. She had no clue of what the occassion was at a place like this. Perhaps the others will fill her in when they arrive. She hoped her dark brown low cut dress was suitable for the only clue she was given was to wear something "dressy". She seemed to fit right in, she was relieved. Everyone looked high class and business-like. A bit boring, she realized, so she then found herself staring at the tall lit candle in the middle of her table. The flame reflected in her pupils and pretty soon she blocked out everything around her. People's conversations droned and soon diminished into silence in her mind. A few minutes later she heard a mumble beside her but didn't make out what was said. An awkward silence ensued followed by a nudge against her shoulder seconds later.

"Kaorin. Kaorin!" A voice called to her, loud and clear.

Kaori finally lost her concentration and looked up. "Oh, Kei-chan? You're here."

"Kaorin, the waiter is talking to you." Kei pointed out, nodding her head to the side where a man stood with an uncomfortable stance, waiting for her reply.

"Ma'am, what would you like to drink?" He repeated what he said earlier.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Kaori apologized, hiding her embarrassed face behind her hand. "I, um, just water for now, please." She then replied, nodding her head in apology.

The waiter then turned to Kei and asked her the same question. "I'll have water, too. Thanks." She nodded her head as she took her seat. She turned to Kaori now, scoffing. "Kaorin, you really need to stop communicating in public places, especially in this kind of place. By the way, it's pretty fancy, don't you think?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I thought." Kaori replied. "I wonder why Yuuchan invited us to a place like this. Do you know?"

"I don't know, but she said had something big to tell us." Kei answered as she looked at the menu. Her already big eyes grew even bigger. "Ehh??? Look how much the food is here."

Kaori took a look at it and her eyes went wide eyed as well. "It must be really really big news." She remarked.

The two chatted while they waited for the others to arrive, catching up with what the other is up to. Kaori with her dinner shows and Kei with her plays. Sure, things have gotten slow paced for both of them since their graduations, yet they weren't too bothered about it for they now had more time to do the things they wanted that they couldn't back when they had Morning Musume's busy schedules. Or maybe now they had too much free time? Still, they were at least happy to be out and gathered together like this every once in a while. A few minutes later a woman in a long sexy black dress headed toward their direction. Her strawberry blonde hair was up in curls, her face glamourously made up. The tapping of her high heels got louder as she came closer to their table and then stopped. She grinned widely at the two women sitting down. They thought they've come face to face with a big celebrity, which, actually, was someone closer to them than they thought.

"Hey guys! Thanks for coming!" Yuko squeaked, giggling afterwards.

"Eh? Is that you, Yuuchan? I've never seen you like this before." Kaorin realized, having not recognize Yuko. She glanced at Kei who was surprised as well.

"Yeah, well," Yuko blushed, patting her cheek. She looked at them and noticed something. "Huh? Where's Nacchi? I said not to be late!" The grin on Yuko's face quickly disappeared.

"Spoke too soon, Kaorin." Kei nudged her and they both giggled.

Yuko impatiently checked her gold bracelet watch and looked around for the missing woman.

"Wow, you're all dolled up, Yuuchan." Kei noticed. "What's the occassion?"

"I'll tell you later when that little...ah!" Yuko pointed outward.

The sound of rapid tapping approached their table followed by the huffing of a tired and out of breath Nacchi.

"Sorry I'm late! I'm sorry!" She huffed, catching her breath as she sat down between Kaori and Kei. She pointed out to the waiter to get her some water, quickly.

"Nacchi..." Yuko said sternly, almost growling.

"I'm sorry!" She apologized. "I couldn't find the place. And traffic was terrible and of course, I had to disguise myself and all and gah, these shoes are just..." She gasped for air. "Anyway, why are we here? What's this big news? Is something wrong?" Just then the waiter came back with her water and she wasted no time gulping it down, forgetting about etiquette at the moment.

Yuko tried not to let her temper ruin her big moment so she quietly shrugged it off. A smile returned to her face. "Well, now that we're all here, except for Yaguchi-san." She seemed disappointed that her favorite "pet" couldn't be there for her announcement. She then took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and said it. "Everyone, I met a guy!"

She already knew what their reaction would be: wide eyed, opened mouth, mixture of shock, confusion and surprise, but she didn't expected to be sprayed by a mist of water from Nacchi's mouth. Nacchi coughed and hacked loudly, trying to catch her breath from choking. Kaori patted her back while Kei took Nacchi's arm and shook it in the air.

"What are you doing?" Nacchi asked, looking at Kei like she had gone crazy.

"I don't know, but it made you forget you were coughing, right?" Kei replied. Nacchi thought for a moment and realized she had stopped coughing. She shrugged her shoulders as she tried to clean up herself.

"Nacchi, I mean, really. Good thing you weren't eating." Kaori said as she wiped herself off. Everyone in the restaurant started to look toward their direction now and Nacchi shrank down into her chair. Yuko almost regretted inviting them in the first place.

"Watch the dress!" Yuko warned, trying to stay calm. "I have a date in a few minutes."

"Ehh? So it's really happening?" Kei ask, still surprised.

"Of course." Yuko replied. "He'll be here soon and I'm nervous as hell. I invited you all because I was hoping to get your opinion, and support."

"Sugoi, Yuuchan! How did you manage to get this one?" Kaori wondered.

"You didn't threaten him, did you?" Nacchi casted a suspicious look at her.

"What a brave soul." Kei added.

"I did not!" Yuko protested. "And it's a blind date."

"Ah, even worse." Kaori said quietly.

"Hope he wasn't forced into it." Nacchi replied.

"What a brave soul." Kei repeated.

"I heard that!" Yuko grew aggravated by her friends. "Look, I thought I'd be nice and invite you all to a nice place like this, and if all goes well then dinner's on me. Seriously, I mean it. But, I guess you don't want to take me seriously and..."

"We're sorry, Yuuchan." Kei apologized. "We're still recovering from the shock of your news, right?"

Kaori and Nacchi nodded their heads. Yuko didn't look convinced.

"You guys just want the free dinner, huh?" She asked. Everyone nodded their heads shamelessly. Yuko sighed. "Fine. Just stay here till it's over then, ok? It's been awhile since I had a date. A long while." She mumbled the last part.

"We're kidding, Yuuchan. We're here for you." Nacchi smiled, raising her glass of water. The others nodded in agreement. Yuko was pleased to hear that and decided that this occassion called for celebration. She summoned the waiter to get a bottle of wine for them.

"He should be here soon, so order what you want and enjoy your meal. Wish me luck!" Yuko nearly squeaked again.

"Good luck!" Everyone cheered her on.

Yuko bowed to them as she made her way back to her table which was several feet away from the girls. The girls praised how beautiful and elegant Yuko looked. It has been quite awhile since they've seen her this way, in fact, they don't recall ever seeing her that way aside from TV appearances. She looked nervous and excited at the same time and they felt the same way as her. The wine finally arrived and they each poured their own glass. They raised their glasses toward Yuko who raised her own glass to them.

"To Yuuchan, and...hope she'll get lucky this time." Kaori proposed and giggled afterwards.

"To Yuuchan!" The others cheered and toasted their glasses.

Just then a tall suited figure came to Yuko's table and greeted her. He looked built, very sharp and clean-cut looking. He presented Yuko with a rose before sitting down across from her. The only problem was that they couldn't see his face for his back was facing toward the girls.

"Ah, is that him?" Nacchi pointed out.

"Is he good looking? I can't see his face." Kaori squinted her big eyes.

"He kinda looks like Haado Gei from back here." Nacchi giggled.

"Looks delicious." Kei chimed in.

"Eh?" Kaori and Nacchi looked at Kei strangely.

"This pasta dish here." Kei pointed at the menu.

Kaori and Nacchi rolled their eyes at her. "Oh well, what now? They'll probably be there for awhile."

"Sitting here, I sort of feel envious of her now." Kaori sulked. "I wish I could meet someone, it's been awhile too. A lot my friends are married now. I just don't want to end up like..." She glanced at Yuko. "...her."

The others agreed and suddenly fell into a gloomy mood now. What were they to do now? Sitting there watching the new couple having dinner wasn't as much fun as they thought. Suddenly Nacchi came up with an idea.

"Hey, let's share our stories of our past relationships. I'm sure you all had some interesting ones." She suggested.

Kei piped up a little. "Yeah! That sounds like fun. Plus it'll kill some time."

"Eh? What if it brings back bad memories of the past?" Kaori sulked again.

"Well, you can always drown them away." Nacchi said swishing her glass of wine in her hand. "Besides, I'm feeling quite nostalgic watching those two over there."

"Well, Nacchi, since you started it, you go first." Kei insisted.

"Eh? Me? Hmm, well, where should I start?"

[huggumwuggums]

Part 2.1 [Nacchi's story]


"Piggy." The young man sitting across from me said.

"Excuse me?" I replied, lowering my menu to look at him.

"I didn't get your name earlier so I thought I'd call you 'piggy'."

"Oh, because I broke your piggy bank?" I answered, recalling the incident a few hours ago.

"No, because you look like one." He said smartly. He laughed so hard he snorted like a pig.

I wanted to laugh with him but in my mind I was a bit furious. I do not look like a pig, I thought. Well, maybe my chubby face was the reason but they were certainly not like a pig's. With my tiny little self I should eat a whole pig for dinner. I looked at the menu to see if they had any but dinner was far from my mind right now. My right hand crept toward my glass of water and gripped it firmly. I was about ready to throw it at his face when,

"But pigs are cute." He added as he took a sip of water from his glass.

I loosened my grip and retracted my hand back till it was now touching my face. I think I might've blushed right there. I wouldn't know.

"It'sss...sss..." I stuttered. "It's Natsumi." Gah, I wanted to kick myself. I must've sounded stupid in front of him. Trying to recompose myself, I then turned the question back to him.

"Reo." He replied cooly.

"Oh, like Leo, the lion constellation?" I asked. I don't know why I said that, my subconscious mind wanted to continue with the animal theme, I guess.

"Do I look like one?" He asked.

What kind of question was that? I thought as I looked at him closer. This was probably the first time I had a good look at him and I must admit he looks quite handsome. Suddenly he bursted out with a loud "Nyah!" making lion claws along with it.

He made me let out a high pitched yelp. I smacked my mouth shut but it was too late, everyone's looking at me like I lost my mind. I looked at Reo who was guffawing from startling me. I glared at him maliciously. All he's done so far was ridicule me. He's such a jerk, and yet there was something about him that intrigued me that made me want to stay. Because he's rich? I mentally slapped myself for thinking such a thing. I had to admit though, he is a funny guy. He had jokes, he had wit, except they were all about me. But in these few short hours that we met (we only met this afternoon) I felt my heart go dokidoki inside my chest. Our meeting was accidental. Or was it?

To explain, I have to start all the way back to me, to how I got here.

It happened when I tried out for the Asayan auditions. This was the first time I've been this far away from home and I was terrified. All of us girls who auditioned stayed at this temple, training and singing our butts off. It felt more like a bootcamp. Because of that I was tired, homesick, and was this close to giving up my dream to become a singer. My morale was low as I watched other girls who were ten times better than me. But soon my spirits were lifted a little when I received a letter from home, and even better, a check from my parents. It was barely Y10,000 but it was good enough. I was thinking of buying myself a nice outfit with it for the final auditions.

So on one of our free days I decided to go to the bank and cash it in. My sense of direction was never great (and the fact that I had my eyes glued on the check the whole time) I ended up bumping into something, or rather, someone as I entered the bank. I fell to the floor followed by a loud crash and hundreds of pieces of metal clacking on the floor. That was when I met him.

"Look what you did!" He shouted at me from above.

After recovering from my daze I looked up and saw the figure of an angry young man. I then looked on the floor and found hundreds of yen coins scattered all over the place coming from a broken piggy bank near my feet. I then realized I was the one who caused it. I quickly sat on my knees and bowed in apology.

"Oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I said as I began to scoop up coins together.

"What's got you so blind that you bumped into me?" Asked the young man.

"Sorry, I was just excited about getting this check from my parents."

The young man glanced at it and scoffed. "That pocket change?"

I frowned. Who does he think he is? It's not like you find Y10,000 lying around everyday or something. I stopped helping him pick up coins and stood up. "Well who still uses piggy banks now a days anyway?"

The young man stopped scooping up coins and approached me. He practically hovered over me that I ended up backed against the counter. He gave me a little sneer and then chuckled. "Well, I was gonna just put this into my account." He said. "But now I think I'll use it to buy you dinner."

"Ehh?" I wasn't expecting such an answer.

"How about tonight?" He asked an unexpected question.

"Ehh?" I repeated. This was so sudden. Too sudden. I didn't know what to say yet somehow during that spur of the moment I must've agreed to it for we ended up going to dinner later that night. Which brings us to where we are now.

I told him I was from Hokkaido and was here in Tokyo auditioning to become a singer. He seemed very impressed that I came a long way to pursue my dream. As for him, he was the son of some big CEO of some company over here. That would make him a very rich boy and yeah, Y10,000 would be considered pocket change to him. He looked older than me, I've never gotten around to ask his age but I'd say he was as old as a senior high school student. He admitted that he saw me once with the other girls when we were out one day for his dad's company was nearby. He also mentioned that he thought I was the cutest out of them. I must've look like a big red tomato for I couldn't stop blushing. How did a guy like him become interested in a country girl like me?

Well dinner went along fine that night without anymore jokes about me, and I admit that I actually had a good time. He took care of the bill, of course, and we waited for a taxi outside. As one pulled up and stopped we realized that we weren't sure if we'll see each other again. I've forgotten my cellphone so I couldn't get his number. Great day to be me, huh?

"Oh, we'll see each other again." Reo said so surely. He escorted me into the taxi cab and said he'll just walk back to his father's company for it was just down the street. I nodded and then he ended with, "Goodbye, piggy."

I gave him another glare as I shut the door. As he disappeared from my sight I almost felt sad to leave him. See you. I said in my head. If we don't meet again, I thought, I'll always remember this crazy day when I think about Toyko. Is it possible to like someone you just met a few hours ago? So far I think so. I'd be back at the temple before "curfew", the girls won't believe my story, not that I was going to tell them anyway. It's almost like a fairy tale, a strange fairy tale. As I reminesced about the past few hours I realized something else. My check is missing.

[rndmnwierd]

He ripped her off? Lol, poor Nacchi. Can't wait for the next chapter.

[glcorps2002]

You have got to be kidding! He takes her out and then jacks her? It has to be a mistake.

[JFC]

^ That, or the guy is a tool.

[DO Me DO Me]

Sorry so slow. I've written this part awhile back but haven't posted it.

Part 2.2

The next day.

Stupid! Stupid! How could you be so stupid? I mentally scolded myself. I can't believe I fell for his charms. How could he do that to me? Stealing from the poor, well, I'm not saying that I am, but he's too filthy rich that he doesn't need my "pocket change". But then that's probably what evil sneaky rich boys do anyway. But...what if it was my fault? I considered. What if my stupid self just lost it somewhere? I tried to retrace my steps in my head. Went to the bank...bumped into Reo...had dinner together...blah blah blah. Argh! I can't remember after that. No, no! It's not my fault. I insisted. Definitely not my fault. He was so rude to me and made fun of me so he's certainly no good guy at all.

"Oh, we'll see each other again." I mocked him. Oh, if I do see him again I'm gonna...I'm gonna...errr, I don't know! I felt my heart go dokidoki in my chest, I mocked myself this time. Maybe that was just my blood pressure rising 'cause he sure made my blood boil with fury.

I shook my head. Ok, Nacchi, stop thinking about it and just move on, let it go. Now what was I doing again? Oh, I was practicing my singing. Now what song was I singing again? "Reo, the Big Fat Stupidhead Jerkface Richboy A-hole." NO! Stop...thinking...about...him! I knocked my head several times with my fist. But I can't. It's like my mind's been possessed by him. I need an exocist. Is there one in this temple? I swear if I ever see his face again I'll say...

"Get the hell away from me! Your presence makes me sick!" I blurted out loud, shaking my fist in the air. Suddenly I heard someone crying in front me. I looked up to see one of the girls I was staying with walking into the room just when I had said that.

"I'm sorry I made you feel that way." She apologized and walked back out, bawling.

"Ah, Aoki-san. I wasn't..." But it was too late, she was gone. Gah, talk about wrong timing. I banged my fists against my thick skull once more. Then another girl entered the room, that girl, or I should say woman, was Nakazawa Yuko.

"Abe-san?" She said. "What did you do to her?"

"I wasn't saying it to her. I was just cursing someone in my head." I shook my first in the air again.

Yuko rolled her eyes as if she didn't care and said to me, "Well Aoki-san was going to tell you that there's someone at the front door for you."

"Someone at the door? For me?" I said. Who could it be? My parents? Nah, they wouldn't bother coming all the way down here. The police? But why would they look for me? I giggled to myself for thinking of such stupid things and then I remembered that Yuko was still in the room with me. Her aura intimidates me so I quickly bowed and thank her for informing me and headed out into the hall. Somehow in the back of my mind I had a sickening feeling I knew who it was. And if my hunch is correct, it's no other than...

"Piggy!" Reo greeted me.

"You!" I yelled. I shut the door behind me so that no one would see us. I took a deep breath. Here it goes. "Get the presence away from me! Your sick makes me hell!" My face cringed. Damnit! I said it wrong. But it did kinda made sense, right? No, no, I didn't think so. Damnit.

"Aren't you glad to see me?" He grinned. Aww, he looks so cute, I mean, stupid! Stupid!

I glared at him. "You have some nerve coming back here. Playing around with innocent, dumb girls like me," Err, why did I say dumb? "And sweet talk them out of their money, huh? Is this how you get your kicks?" I was furious. But something clicked in the back of my mind. If he did steal my money then why did he bother to see me again? Maybe, to rub it in my face, huh? But...what if I was wrong and I'm gonna look like an idiot falsely accusing him of something he didn't do?

"That pocket change? I spent it." He said frankly. Ah ha! So he did take it. I knew I should've stuck with my intuition. That jerk.

"How dare you!" I raised my hand to slap him but he caught me by the wrist.

"Whoa, piggy. Calm down."

"It's Natsumi! Na-tsu-mi!"

"Excuse me, Na-tsu-mi." He let go of my wrist. "You seem to have a bad habit of being absent minded and forgetful. Fortunately for you I have a good memory and I do remember you saying you wanted to buy an outfit for your audition. So I took the liberty to go out and buy you one." He then revealed a box he had hidden behind his back. He handed it over to me.

"Eh, huh?" My mind was confused again. This is not how it's suppose to go. I'm suppose to beat the crap out of him because I've never done that before and I think it'd be an awesome experience. But instead, he does possibly the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. No reason to beat him up now. I took the box from him and opened it. I gasped. It was an outfit, a rather nice looking one. There's no way that this is worth Y10,000 it had to be at least a little more than that. And it's exactly my size. Oh, he's good.

"I..uh..." I stuttered like a fool again.

"You're welcome." He smiled. "See, told ya we'd meet again."

I smiled back. I guess I was totally wrong about him. I really should see the brighter side of things.

"So this is where you're staying?" He asked me.

"Oh, yes, it is. How did you know where it is?" I asked because this place is almost hidden away from civilization for several miles it seems. It's practically buried in the forest.

"Oh, I have my ways." He said slyly.

I didn't bother to ask how for I was still overwhelmed by the surprise. We must've talked for a good few minutes until I realized that I had to get back to practice, not to mention that what I'm doing probably isn't appropriate. Not that there's a rule about seeing a guy, but this is an audition and I can't be slacking. Reo understood as we bid farewell again. I had my cellphone with me this time and we quickly exchanged numbers. Then he left me with a "Good luck!" for the audition.

I grinned like an idiot. What a great guy to go all through this trouble to see me and give me a gift, not to mention that I've been so cruel to him. *Sigh* I think I've fallen for him. I can honestly say it now, no matter how crazy it sounded. I re-entered the temple with my new gift clutched in my hands only to find all the other girls staring at me. They asked me who Reo was and what was in the box. I couldn't possibly tell them that he was some guy I just met and fell for in one day. I tried to come up with something quickly.

"It was just the delivery guy giving me a package from my family." I lied.

They so totally bought it.

------------

"Ah! I remember that!" Kaori suddenly piped up pointing her fork in the air. "Wow, Nacchi. Rich boy, huh? Didn't know you were like that."

"How could you let that guy go?" Kei asked. "I would've kept him in a heartbeat."

"Hells yeah!" Kaori agreed as her and Kei toasted their glasses.

"Yeah, about that..." Nacchi started again.

"Oh, food's here!" Kaori interrupted as the waiter finally arrived with their food.

Their eyes grew as big as the plates they were receiving. They acted like they never saw (or had) food in their lives. Not this good anyway. They wasted no time digging into them. Another bottle of wine was ordered. They really hoped Yuko was having a good time on her date for it looks like dessert, possibly seconds, and more wine will be added to the bill.

"Oh, don't mind us. Go ahead Nacchi." Kaori said, her mouth already full of chicken. Kei nodded her head as she sucked up her pasta.

Nacchi sighed as she took a sip of her wine. "Okie dokie."

[JFC]

"It was just the delivery guy giving me a package from my family." I lied.

They so totally bought it.

Or did they?


Nice chapter, hope to see the next ones too.

[rndmnwierd]

"Get the presence away from me! Your sick makes me hell!"

I'm suppose to beat the crap out of him because I've never done that before and I think it'd be an awesome experience.

Lol, just like Nacchi to mix up her lines and think it would be awesome to beat someone up.
