Chapter 6

Sayaka had parked in the hidden area of the lot.  She was advised once to escort another celebrity out of the building and into her office at the hospital.  Yuko stood outside the elevator looking for the vehicle and noticed the dark tinting on the windows.  The car drove up and stopped in front of her.  Yuko didn’t mumble a word as she entered into the front seat.

She closed the door and headed out to the back exit where nobody was standing because it was blocked off by the gate.  Sayaka took the long route out of the city and drove into the back roads.  The idol smiled as nobody had followed them out into the open.  Yuko sat there quietly as they headed into the secluded area behind the dense tress.

“I’m surprised no one has followed us.”  Yuko commented as she looked at the greenery around them.

“Thank you.”  She smiled as they sped up to the dirt road.

Sayaka revved up the engine and drove uphill until they reached a house at the first plateau.  Yuko was surprised such a nice house was in the forest.  She grabbed her bag and walked into the house where the other guest was sitting on the table with a pastry in hand and a teapot.

“Tadaima!”  Rena greeted with a bow.

“Okaeri~” Sayaka shouted back as Yuko dropped her bag and walked over to the table.

“Is that a melon pan?”  Yuko asked as Rena took another bite from the pastry.

“Yes.”  Rena replied as she chewed on the bread.

“Just wondering…”  She paused as she looked over at the coach.  “Can I take a shower?”

Sayaka nodded as she showed her the bathroom in the hallway.  She grabbed the bag and threw it into the bathroom.  Yuko gripped her shirt holding it over her head before cautiously walked into the bathroom before undressing.  She felt the cold air hit her skin and took deep breaths before walking into the shower.

“Did you shower while I was away?”  Sayaka asked as the woman shook her head.

“Sigh… well you can decide when you want to shower.  Just wait until Yuko is done.”  She informed Rena with her eyes on the pot of boiling vegetables.

“Why did you pick Yuko up?”  Rena spoke out her concern.

“Well I thought it would be nice to have a meal together rather than you and me.  I should have asked but…” 

“Don’t worry about it.”  Rena waved her hand as she consumed the last piece of melon pan.

Yuko suddenly stepped out with a towel wrapped around her head and body.  Rena looked and flashed a smile before running to her room to grab her clothes.  The idol took a seat at the table with hot tea in front of her.  She poured out a cup and stared at the clear, light green liquid.

“It smells really good.”  Yuko complimented.

“Thanks!  We thought it be best to have a home cooked meal to welcome Rena.”

“That sounds great.”  Yuko commented as she unraveled the towel from her head letting down the long brown hair.

She began to smell the room perfume with the food but she suddenly remembered that she forgot to take out her change of clothes from the bathroom and ran inside.  The fog expanded outwards creating limited visibility in front of her.  She took a few steps forward and felt an immense pain running from her foot.  Yuko bit down on her bottom lip and picked the bag up from the floor.

“Yuko-chan… Are you out there?”  The voice crept up to her like fly landing on her shoulder.

“Yes it is me.”  She confessed with the bag in hand.

“When is your trip to Saitama?”  She asked suddenly remembering that tomorrow she had to be there for the funeral.

“I’m leaving tomorrow morning.”  She announced as the idol closed the door behind her.

The sudden memory of the emergency trip drew a weird situation as she was miles away from her apartment and hadn’t packed up for a day trip.  She went into the open room and changed into her street clothes before walking up to Sayaka.

“Is something a matter?”

“I forgot I have a trip to Saitama for the funeral.”  Yuko said with a shrewd grin.

“Ahh… after dinner we can head to your apartment.”  She instructed as Yuko took a seat at the table.

Rena walked out in a shirt and shorts as Sayaka placed the bowl of stewed vegetables in front of each of them with a bowl of rice.  The two sat across each as the coach took the seat beside both of them.  They held their chopsticks up to say a prayer before breaking them for the meal.

“Are you planning to come back to sleep over?”  Rena glanced at the idol as she took a piece of the vegetables and pressed into it.

“I guess so, the airport is near here and I only need to pack clothes for the funeral.”  Yuko thought as she placed the warm piece between the cheek and her teeth.

“That would be wonderful but Yuko…”  Sayaka could see the slight uncomfortability but she managed to mask it quickly.

“I don’t mind.  Rena and I are adults and nothing should be in the way.”  She explained before swallowing down her food.

Rena was methodical in her eating taking piece by piece and chewing on the soft piece for a long period before swallowing it whole.  She pressed her lips together keeping her silence while the other two were busily eating to go on their trip.  Sayaka and Yuko finished at the same time as Rena retired from eating anymore and left the dishes in the sink.

“Rena, do you want to come with us?”  Sayaka asked as she grabbed her keys.  “You’ll end up alone in this house.”

“Sure.”  She answered hesitantly as the idol took the backseat with her workout bag.

Rena stepped into the passenger side but Sayaka threw her keys onto there and forced her into the back.  Holding back a smile, Sayaka started up the car and drove out of the forest into the city.  Rena’s eyes lit up with the big buildings and the thousands of people populating the area.  Like a puppy, she was excited to see the city with her mind clear of the dangers.  However, she looked over at Yuko and reached out for her hand.

“Do you not like the lights?”  She asked with a pout.

“I’m used to the lights but right now I’m thinking about Haruna.”  Yuko sighed.

“I see…  Do you want to confess your relationship with me?”  Rena cracked as Yuko had her face in her hands.

“Sorry… I just cannot face her right now.”

Rena wrapped her arms around the idol holding her head near her chest.  She didn’t know why but she felt something warm within her and released her concerns.  Yuko broke away and looked at her with the pain still present within her.

“Thank you.”  Yuko broke into a smile as she leaned onto her.

The burning within the idol grew rapidly as she felt everything in her body shake.  The eyes were magnetizing the situation as the idol closed her eyes and pressed forward.

“Here we are!”  Sayaka announced as Yuko turned towards the driver.

Yuko wiped away the tears and ran into the lobby where Tomochin had a grin on her face.  She looked outside seeing the woman with long, straight black hair looking inside.  The blonde followed the idol into the elevator and nudged her in the side.

“Who is that girl?”

“It is a friend I met in the hospital.  We are having a party for her discharge from there but I forgot about my trip to the funeral.”  Yuko explained.

“I see…”  Tomochin nodded.  “She is cute maybe you can snag her.”

Her words seemed too close for comfort.  She didn’t want to accept or deny the blooming relationship but it was the funeral that seemed important as Yuko ran to her apartment and opened it.  The idol grabbed another bag and lay all her clothing in there for the day and zipped it up quickly.  She headed out to the hallway where Tomochin had stood watching the chaos.

“I guess you must be thinking of that.”  She hinted.

“I want to make sure she survives the party.”  Yuko said bluntly as she rushed back to the car.

Her chest started to burn as she slid into her seat.  Rena stared back at her with a smile as she turned again to admire the lights.

“You were close…”  She whispered to the idol.

“I know.”  Yuko admitted.  “Guilt is building up again and just seeing you here want me to ponder my decision to seek another lover.”
“If you are not ready…”

Yuko pushed her body onto hers and felt her soft lips.  Her heart started to pound as she broke away.  The idol felt her eyeballs.  They were dry.  She feared it would happen if she fell in love again.  Tomorrow, she would cry, it was years of building a mountain together to only get struck by lightning and split apart but inviting another only led to added pressure to understand.

They arrived back at the house with Yuko taking the couch and closed her eyes.  Rena and Sayaka took to the table observing the idol as she prepared for the test tomorrow.

Chapter 7

Yuko turned to the light beaming through the window and rolled out of bed.  She felt drunk of sleep but her mind was on the trip to Saitama.  She stepped into the bathroom and disrobed.  The bitter cold air hit her skin like a layer before stepping into the shower where the shards of water erased the cold.  Yuko began to think of how to approach the situation.  Tears crawled out as she began to think of that night where she would have been dead if it wasn’t for a fan.  Then, she awoke from her dream as the hot water was sheathing her.

“Do you want breakfast?”  Sayaka asked as the smell of meat entered into the room.

“No thank you.”

Yuko heard the door click and rushed through her routine hoping that the tears would dry up.  She slipped on a black blouse and black slacks before heading to the couch where she had set up her makeup.

“You’ll be back right?”  Rena questioned with a half smile.

“Yeah, I’m off today because of the funeral and the media will be swamping me.”  Yuko explained.

“Okay… I guess I can hang around waiting for you.”  Rena patted the idol’s head before heading toward the car.

Sayaka followed behind the idol with her bag and tossed into the backseat as they both entered the car.  The coach turned the key and Yuko put her sunglasses as she looked through the front passenger window.

“I wish you good luck and I’ll be waiting for your return flight.”  She informed the idol as Yuko dug her body into the seat.

Concerns grew as the people were lining up near the airport as they approached the terminal.  Men in black suits holding the thin rope containing the people behind them as Sae became the first to greet the idol.  “On your way out?”

Yuko nodded and reached for her bag in the back.  She pulled it forward knocking off her sunglasses instantly covering her eyes from the bright flashes.  Sayaka grabbed the accessory and gave it to her before they could catch a glimpse of her expression.  Yuko extended out her hand and lazily gripped the hand in front of her.  Sayaka wasn’t sure but she had to accept the haphazard gesture and let her off into the airport.

Yuko waved as she drove away and the security pushed her through the crowd of fans and media.  The muddled faces of the crowd forced her to look forward and a cart came to pick the group up and headed toward the plane below.  Sae noticed the safety zone was perfect for an inconspicuous entry and driving at a quicken pace they arrived at the entry stairs.  They climbed onto the plane and took their seats on the private jet.

“This is rather annoying, isn’t it?”  Sae commented as she looked out the window as the idol lowered the sunglasses.

Her eyes were streaked with red thread as she looked at the attendant.  She smiled towards her as they were offered glasses of juice for the flight.  Yuko forced a grin as the attendant walked away with her tray.

“I don’t know how you feel…”  Sae whispered.

“I can’t explain it either but thank you for going with me.”  She nodded as the juice touched her lips and felt it evaporate on the tongue.

Yuko felt the takeoff and closed her eyes for a bit.  As she took a breath, the plane was up in the air and she wasn’t sure of the distance but it was better than suffering the faith of the paparazzi’ wrath by driving to there.  She opened her eyes and felt the plane touch down.  Yuko shot up and walked down to the limousine waiting for them at the bottom.

“Yuko, are you ready to face them?”  Sae asked before entering the vehicle.

She slid inside knowing that the problems were only going to build when she arrived there.  Sae followed her inside and the limousine drove toward the funeral.  Cameras were flashing along the way as she put her sunglasses back on with the dark tint blocking their vision from outside.  People were also lining up like royalty visiting their city.  As they drew closer, Yuko’s midsection released a growl as she pressed it firmly.

“Are you okay?”  Sae felt the head of the idol.

“I’ll be fine.  Just drop me off and get some stuff for my friend.”  Yuko groaned as the vehicle pulled up behind the procession.

She stepped out and was swarmed by the media’s gibberish.  She covered her face and bulled through the crowd until she got to the entrance.  The people stopped following her as she walked up to the table and signed her name in.  Yuko walked into the room and drew attention of the three adults in front of her.  Lowering her sunglasses, the red streaks grew in her eyes as she bowed to them.

The bottom half felt like standing on stilts as she struggled to get forward.  Seeing her picture in sight, she let the thought manipulate her mind and stopped a few feet in front of the portrait.  Her hands clasped together in front of her and bent herself at ninety degrees.

Lighting up the incense, she placed into the sand holding the rest of the half burnt sticks and placed her hands in front of her the portrait and closed her eyes.

“I’m sorry for all this.  I need to confess something.”  She whispered as she looked up.  “I was angry when you cheated on me.  Enough to rip into your heart and tore it apart in front of you that I got drunk and slept with someone.  I lied about being with you all this time.  I want to forgive you.  No one but me will feel sorry but I want to make my new relationships work.  Please give me your blessing.”

Yuko dropped her sunglasses to the floor and squatted down to pick it up.  A wisp of wind hit her back like a hand patting it calming her down.  She stood up and walked to the three members dressed in black.  They held their calm demeanor as Yuko extended her hands.

“I’m sorry for your lost.”  She spoke softly as she avoided eye contact.

As she reached the last one, her midsection started to twist into a ringed towel.  Yuko looked up and felt the life flushed out of her body.

“Hello again.”  The man spoke.

“Shouji…”  Yuko coughed.

“Do you have a little time after this?”  He asked.

“I’m on a tight schedule but I have a little time.”  Yuko replied.

The man grabbed the idol’s wrist and took her to the back room.  She remembered him as Kojima’s cousin but the truth was he was her older brother from a previous marriage.  He was a tall figure with a heavy beard speckled with gray and a thick moustache that was a solid black.  He had a firm smile but that was disfigured from a stroke two years ago.  Luckily, it was only his face that was disfigured if their parents hadn’t noticed it earlier.

“Haruna-chan loved you and she was always sorry about cheating on you.”  He informed her as he took out a pencil-thick cigarette and lit it with a lighter.

“I already told her about my one-night stand and my new friend.”  Yuko said in a soft voice.

“Haruna knew that one day you would do it because she did it too many times.”  He laughed as he puffed the cigarette.

“Sho-kun, do your parents know about our relationship?”

“No, they thought she was always single and never clued in on your needs toward her.”  He explained.

“Thanks, I gotta go back to Tokyo.”  Yuko bowed and walked back into the swarm of people in the front of the building.

As Yuko got through the crowd, the clouds opened up and let out a blessing from above.  She found the limousine and jumped in before it sped back onto the streets.  Sae looked at the idol and flashed a smile as the clothes were soaked from the sudden flash weather change.

“Shall we head back?”

“What did you guys got?”

Sae searched in the bag and held out a box of cookies and a box of freshly made melon pan.

“Thanks.”  She smiled as they headed back to the airport.

Yuko blocked out the thoughts of Haruna for a moment while looking at the melon pan.  It felt different in letting go her harbored feelings than what she expected.  She wanted to cry out everything at the altar but something prevented it from flowing like a river.  Yuko felt her presence telling her to not cry and maybe scolded her for attempting to take her life after.

She boarded the plane back and stamped a smile on her face as she felt lighter from facing her former manager.  The short trip forced her to exhaust all her energy on one day as she dragged herself through everything until she arrived at the house.  She placed the omiyage bag onto the table and laid out the two boxes.

“Melon pan?”  Rena said wide-eyed.

“Yes.  I know you like them so here’s a boxful.”  Yuko smiled before heading into the room.

She undressed back into t-shirt and shorts and jumped onto the couch.  Her head hit the soft cushion and melted into dreamland.  Rena went onto her knees and moved the hair away from her forehead.  She leaned in and gave the idol a kiss on the forehead.

“Rena-chan, do you want lunch?”  Sayaka asked.

“I’m okay.”  She said as she glanced over at Yuko.

“Well… I think she can finally move on in her life.”

“I want to know that she’ll keep her promise.”  Rena commented before going into her room.

“I think so…”  Sayaka thought as she took a seat on the chair.

[cisda83]

Chapter 8

Her eyes shot open noticing the darkness around her.  Slowly walking over to the bathroom, she felt out the light and closed the door behind her.  She began to think about the life she had and it seemed to be gone too quick.  Her heart started to pump realizing the cold air surrounding her.

“Where are you?”  Yuko breathed.

The doorknob turned and saw Rena in a blue pajama and quickly closed the door.

“Sorry Rena.”  Yuko stood up and ran toward the door.

“It’s fine.  I was just wondering why you went into the bathroom.”

Yuko tilted her head to the side.  “You saw that?”

“I can never sleep for long periods as of yet so I listen to the footsteps to see if anyone is up and I guess you were the one who went into the bathroom.”  Rena smiled before entering the bathroom.

Yuko waited outside staring at the door as she began to think and then Rena opened the door grabbing the idol by the wrist.  Rena closed the door behind them and held her face in her hands.

“There are a lot of things on my mind too.  Shall we talk about it?”  Rena moved in centimeters away from her lips.

“I guess so but the one thing is…”

Yuko closed the distance and pressed onto her lips.  Rena backpedaled to the wall as Yuko continued her offensive feeling her neck in her hand.  The idol quickly moved to the buttons and released a few before pulling back from the embrace.

“Sorry.”

“Why are you sorry?  It would be perfectly fine.”

“I wanted to ask if we are together that you can handle all the energy during…”

“I could last.”  Rena finished.

“The other thing is the outside world will grill you for anything you do.”  Yuko explained.

“I think anything will only help me rather than hurt me.”

“One last thing…”  Yuko smiled.  “If I mention Haruna… please be truthful.”

“It doesn’t bother me now since you told me about her.”  Rena smiled.

Yuko finished releasing the buttons and placed her hands on her firm chest.  The idol felt the radiating heat from the area.  She stared at it thinking about her next move and looked up at Rena.  Yuko closed her eyes and went forward in pleasuring her new friend.

“Yuko!  This is too much.”  Rena moaned.

“Rena only you can stop me.”  Yuko replied as she went for her bottom.

Slowing removing the pants, Yuko ran her hand over the exposed milky white thighs and let the item hit the floor.  Rena closed her eyes digging her nails into the wall as the idol rubbed the thin material protecting her from the treasure.

“Yuko!”  She shrieked.  “Stop toying around!”

“Okay… we’ll head back to your room.”  Yuko smiled as they headed back to the room to finish the business.

The idol felt a shift near her and awoke to the flawless being in her arms.  Her hand placed on her stomach as Rena turned towards her.

“Morning.”

“Morning Rena.  Shall we continue our talk?”  Yuko smirked before leaning in for a kiss.

“Sayaka knows we are here.”  Rena informed her as a shadow appeared from behind.

“I guess the idol can never get enough sex for a while.”  She commented as Yuko turned and covered herself with the sheet.

“I couldn’t stop myself.”  Yuko smiled.

Sayaka shook her head and pointed toward her wrist before leaving the room.

“I’ll be back in a few days to take you to the concert.”  Yuko grinned.

“I’ll be waiting.”

Yuko leapt out of bed and quickly dressed for rehearsals.  Stuffing all her clothes back into the bag, Yuko finally felt at peace for the first time.  She waved to Rena before leaving the house and stepped into the car.

“Yuko, I want to tell you that Rena could be a little misguided if you continue your aggressive ways.”  Sayaka confided.

“I don’t feel ready to commit to just dating her.  I want her to realize that she can feel protected by me.”  Yuko explained.  “Haruna knew that I would protect her from anything.”

“You are serious.”

“I am serious.”

“I’m glad to hear that because you hurt her once before but without the strings, you want to make sure she doesn’t let anyone hurt her.”  Sayaka started up the car and drove to the building.

Yuko decided to make an entrance through the front instead of the parking to see the flow of reporters blocking the area.  It was a crowded area for her and she managed to push through without looking at the cameras.  The smile seemed to lighten up the lobby as she headed upstairs for the practice.

“Oshima, you look different.”

“I feel better letting it go.”  She replied.

“Classic Yuko…”

She suddenly stopped and turned toward the commenter.  Her eyes slanted as she faced him.

“What do you mean?”  She asked holding her hand into a fist.

“You were never satisfied with the product.  You kept improving the item until you got it up to your standard.”  He explained releasing her fist.

“That was the wrong thing to say.”  His mate whispered as Yuko continued the practice.

The idol knew the return concert was a few days away and it only meant to have this practice before dress rehearsal at the place where she debuted on the big stage.  Staring up at the clock, she knew time was not on her side and the feelings were still deep in the groove of her heart.  She pushed herself to get the choreography down and worked every part.

“Yuko!  Let’s take five.”  The dancers whined as she kept at it.

She stared at the mirror and could see the sweat glisten from the lights.  Yuko never felt as great as she was now continuing the dance then a loud rip silenced the room.  Yuko dropped to the floor and held her lower left leg when the people rushed back.

“Someone get a chair!”  One of the dancers yelled.

They carried into the chair and supported the injury on a stool.  Yuko bit down on her lip and stood up feeling the weight was still even but the first step she felt the weight slip from under her and fell to the floor.  The dancers brought her up and the doctor on premises looked at her left leg.

“Yuko, are you okay?”  Sae asked.

“I don’t know.”  Yuko surprised as the doctor cleared the way.

After a thorough checkup, he shook his head.  Yuko knew it could only be bad as Sae decided to clear the room leaving the three staring at each other.

“I fear she may have ruptured the tendon.”  He stated with chagrin.

“What does that mean?”  Sae asked angrily.

“She is permanently on hold until we can see the MRI.”  He explained as Yuko dropped her head into her hands.

“Sensei, we will get a car over and take her to the hospital.”  Sae confirmed her suspicions and called the car to be ready.

Yuko wasn’t sure but the pain seemed to trigger the heartbreak of the cancellation.  It was the first time it would be cancelled because of any consequence.  She began to outline her apology to the fans in her mind as they escorted her to the car in the basement.  It seemed surreal that it happened to her after all what had expired in a few weeks.

Then, she thought about Rena and smiled as they took her into emergency imaging and she blocked out the negativity around her.  She opened her eyes to a person crying holding her hand.

“Yuko… How are you doing?”

“Rena… Don’t worry.  I’ll be fine.”  Yuko replied.  “Thank you for helping me.”

Rena looked up fighting a smile out from her face.  She shielded her face again gripping onto her hand as news was surgery.
