@kinbari: I'm going to assume you read Waiting then? I hope you liked it. (Wait, were you the anonymous comment?) In my cynical, dark mind, I like it too!
@tru_harmony: Haha, human!
Just found that a little funny! She's built this outer shield to protect herself.
@JFC:
@wings4dreams: I think they'd be able to manage 6 kids, to tell you the truth. They are so right for each other that it just happens without them even trying. I don't like flowers too much so I agree. (Allergies!) Yup, Miki is a fragile soul. I'm gonna say that no one saw.
@peti-chan: Miki is a great person.
And Ai knows just what to say....for once.
Me too!!!
@lollipopgirl: First of all, I'm kinda liking us taking over ppl's threads!
As for fluff, well, there's only a bit of that coming up! It's because Ai has that aura. I can't explain it. There could be TakaMiki, if you think it up in your mind. To me, in H!P, drunk anyone is possible!
This story came to me last night. Out of absolutely nowhere. And I'm quite happy with it! Because Miki is
This is just another one of the ways I like to experiment with "taboo" or not so readily talked about topics and such. It actually started out a bit funny but that went out the window, along with the fluff!!!

Hero: Part 1The front door banging open startled me. It took me a minute to remember where I was. Oh yeah, the suite in the hotel in Osaka. Yocchan and I were sharing it because of our positions in the group. Sometimes being sub-leader has its perks. I sighed and wished Yocchan would refrain from bringing her latest conquests back. I mean, it’s not like I had to watch, the living room and bedrooms being separate, but the noise. Oh, the noise! Drives me up the damn wall!! But I was a little curious as to who it was this time. Considering it was the last night of a summer tour, it could be anyone. Sometimes sharing a room with a sex addict has its perks. I stopped thinking and started listening. But the sounds that were coming from the adjacent room were not normal at all. Well, I did hear Yocchan groaning as usual but there were undertones of sobbing. Like the girl she was doing was crying. Yeah, I didn’t know who’s in there but they shouldn’t be upset like that. And that’s when I heard it. “Yoshizawa-senpai….”, she said, “Please stop” I knew that voice…….oh, god, no!! I shot up from the bed and nearly ran into the closed bedroom door. I threw it open and I saw exactly what I never wanted nor expected to see.
There, on the couch under Yocchan, lay an absolutely terrified looking Kusumi Koharu.
The poor kid was naked, at least as far as I could see, and she had this look in her eyes. It was a look of pure fear. My heart ached at the sight. Koharu shouldn’t have to go through this. I went over and yelled, “Yocchan, get off of her!” My arms headed towards her fully-clothed form but a slap caused me to unintentionally recoil. No one does that to me. NO ONE. I grabbed her wrist and yanked her off the tiny, quivering body. When I saw the little girl fully, I saw that she still had her pink panties on but that was it. Her skin was red from all of Yocchan’s touches. “Get over by the door”, I shouted at her, turning around to the fuming leader. Koharu was so scared but immediately followed my orders, pulling her knees to her chest and watching the two of us from the corner. Yocchan snarled at me, “What the hell are you doing?!” I stared at her for a second before replying, “Keeping you from making a big mistake” Seconds after I said that, I narrowly dodged a fist flying towards my head. After that, all restraint was ignored as I managed to knock her out with a punch to the face and a kick in the stomach. She crumpled onto the floor, clutching her gut before she stopped moving altogether. Like I said, we were going back to Tokyo tomorrow so who cares what her face looks like? Making sure she was breathing but unconscious, I made my way over to the crying girl.
“Koharu”, I said softly, putting a hand on her face. She fell forward into my arms, crying harder. “Shh”, I soothed, cradling her and rubbing her back. I put my hands under her arms and managed to get us up in a standing position. I carried her into the bedroom like a baby. All the while, she clung to me, her arms securely around my neck. I laid her down on the bed and she curled up instinctively. It hurt to see her so vulnerable, more so than usual. Sifting through my luggage, I found a T-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts for her to wear. “Here, sweetie”, I weakly smiled, placing the clothes on the bed next to her. She pulled them on slowly, as if every movement brought pain to her body. “I don’t want to make you any more uncomfortable but where did she touch you?”, I asked. I really had no choice, it’s important to know. Koharu just looked at me, her eyes overflowing once again. “Seriously, you need to tell me”, I told her, speaking firmly but not wanting to frighten her anymore. “M-my c-ch-chest”, she whimpered, curling up even tighter. “Not down there?”, I inquired. It really pained me to make her relive it but if Yocchan made it all the way, we’d have even more problems. The frightened child shook her head, turning away as her heavy lids began to droop.
I scooted onto the bed next to her and held her. “Go to sleep, ok?”, I whispered, rocking her slowly, “You need to rest” Her thin fingers gripped my arm, as if she was scared to sleep. “It’s gonna be ok”, I reassured her, “She won’t hurt you anymore” Eventually, her hold on me loosened until she lay limp in my lap. I hadn’t realized I was crying until a warm teardrop landed on my shirt. I eased her onto the bed, tucking her in snuggly and pressing my lips onto her forehead. “I’m so sorry, Koharu-chan”, I mumbled, stroking her hair before walking into the living room.
Yocchan still lay on the tan carpet, not moving except for the slow up and down motion that confirmed she was alive. I just watched her, unable to comprehend how this had happened. What the hell could have possessed her to even think about doing that to someone so young? I guess her condition was worse than I thought. I figured it wouldn’t do to leave her laying there so I called the only one who knows what to do about this: Iida Kaori. She was leader when Yocchan was diagnosed, so it was her job to keep her in line. She didn’t tell anyone, I only know because Yocchan herself confessed it to me. Picking my cell phone up from the coffee table, I dialed her number and took a deep breath to prepare myself.
“Hello?”
“Hey Kaori-san, it happened again”
“Who was it this time?”
“Are you sure you want to know?”
“That bad, huh?”
“Worse than you could imagine. Had to knock Yocchan out. She’s on the floor right now.”
“I’ll be right there”
About 20 minutes later, I opened the door to find Kaori standing there, decked out in her doctor outfit with her two assistants. “Must you wear that?”, I snickered, gesturing them in. “Shut up”, she mumbled, trying to not to laugh. Oh, did I mention that after she graduated, Kaori has been going to school to become a doctor? Anyway, she checked out Yocchan and sent her assistants to take the woman into the car and drive her back to our private hospital in Tokyo. “So who was it?”, Kaori asked as we sat on the couch. I grabbed her hand and led her to the doorway to the bedroom. Koharu was still sleeping soundly. “No…..Way”, Kaori deadpanned, her eyes widening at the snoozing kid. “I got up just in time to prevent Yocchan from taking her panties off”, I sadly recalled. My companion just shook her head in disbelief and said, “I’ll interview her at the hospital tomorrow. Right now, I gotta call Tsunku”
She left and I remained in the doorway. Koharu looked so angelic and peaceful. The earlier events had left no marks on her, except for her almost swollen, tear-stained eyes. I cautiously approached the bed and sat down, the mattress creaking slightly. Wincing at the sound, I cursed the noise and quickly lay down. She was facing me, her lips slightly parted as she snored lightly. Honestly, how could Yocchan take advantage of that? I would never forgive myself if I did. Remaining on my side and closing my eyes, I tried to rest my body and mind, both of which were beginning to rebel against me. I was nearly asleep when something warm nuzzled into my chest. My eyes shot open to find Koharu cuddling into me. “Mommy…”, she mumbled, resting her head against my shoulder. My heart cracked as the single word left her mouth. I did the only thing I could do: I wrapped my arm around her.
The next day went by rapidly. We woke up and I had Ai-chan pack up Koharu’s things and bring them to our room. I told her that the youngest member had a nightmare and was afraid to go back to her own room. We both took showers (separately) and got ready to leave. It was absolutely heart-breaking when Koharu was afraid to go into the living room. I assured her that Yocchan was gone and held her hand as we peeked into the other room. I could feel Koharu’s pulse calm and I made her some toast in our kitchenette. Lifting our bags, we left the room and went to join the rest of Morning Musume (minus our leader) in the lobby. My excuse was that Yocchan wasn’t feeling well and left for Tokyo last night to go to the doctor. Well, I was telling the truth partially. No one questioned my authority but I could feel the strange looks when Koharu glued herself to my side. It seemed like they were all waiting for me to yell at her and shove her away and when I didn’t, everyone looked shocked.
The ride back was uneventful. But they all continued to stare at me as I sat next to Koharu, who leaned her head on my shoulder when she fell asleep. I ignored them as usual and tried to relax. Once we arrived home, I told the girls they all had the day off because Yocchan was sick. After they left, Koharu and I made our way to the hospital. She was getting a little scared again and we had to stop in the lobby of the Up-Front building so I could get her to calm down a bit. Her hand was basically fastened to mine, but I didn’t mind. Kaori was upstairs already so we went to greet her. “Koharu-chan”, she began as we were settled in her office, “I’m gonna have to ask you some questions about what happened yesterday” The youngest girl looked at me as if to ask permission to do it. I nodded and began to stand up. “Where are you going?”, she asked, looking alarmed. “I’m going to go see how Yocchan is”, I calmly told her, “While Kaori-san interviews you” I knew she wouldn’t want to go see her leader and I knew I couldn’t be there while they talked, as much as I wanted to be. “Be strong”, I whispered into Koharu’s ear and left the room.
I asked the receptionist where Yocchan’s room was and she pointed me in the right direction. I opened the door and there she was, sitting in the bed. I almost winced at the sight of her, what I did to her. She had a black eye and she looked a bit uncomfortable just sitting. “Hey”, I murmured, giving her a small smile. “Hey”, she replied, that silly grin covering her face as usual. As if nothing ever happened. “So how are you?”, I asked awkwardly, sitting on a chair. “I have this black eye and a few broken ribs”, was the answer, “Thanks to you” Even though the last part was said with a laugh, I felt so remorseful at that moment. Even though Yocchan was totally wrong and it will never be ok to do that, I felt like I had no right to just attack her like that. “I forgive you”, she spoke up, “It’s all my fault and I deserve it all” It was as if she read my mind. “How is she?”, Yocchan asked, forcing me to look at her. “She was afraid to go in the living room at the hotel this morning”, I answered, “She’s been glued to my side the whole day” “Shit”, she moaned, smacking her face into her hands. “But I think she’ll be fine soon”, I tried to reassure her, “But I’m not sure when she’ll warm up to you again” We continued to talk and even laugh a bit. But then Kaori came in and told me Koharu wanted me.
“Are you ok?”, I asked, shocked to find Koharu sitting in Kaori’s office crying, almost as hard as she was yesterday. I hurried over and hugged her tightly. “What’s wrong, sweetie?”, I whispered into her ear as she rested her head on my shoulder. “I want to forgive Yoshizawa-senpai but I’m scared”, she confessed, wiping away her tears. “I’ll go with you when you’re ready, ok?”, I tried to comfort her but I was a loss of words myself. I wanted everything to be all happy and back to normal but I was, honestly, afraid. I mean, Yocchan almost did
that a 13-year-old fellow member. I was quite relieved that Koharu wanted to forgive but I was afraid for her. That something bad would happen and Koharu would never ever want to be near Yocchan again. I mean, she’s one of my closest friends but the way she was last night was unforgettable, but not in a good way. I love her to death but something is just freaking me out. “Um, I think I should go see her now”, Koharu whispered, surprising me slightly. I smiled slowly and held out my hand.
We took a few deep breaths outside the room and Koharu buried her head in my chest again. “Ready?”, I asked, slinging an arm over her shoulders and leading her into the room. “Yocchan, Koharu-chan wants to speak with you”, I announced, pushing the girl forward a bit. She started to cry and turned back towards me. “Go on”, I mumbled, smiling with my eyes. She walked towards the bed and looked at Yocchan, who was tearing up as well. “I forgive you for last night, senpai”, she said in a quiet voice. “Thank you, Koharu-chan”, Yocchan grinned as tears fell from her eyes, “I’m so sorry this happened.” She reached for Koharu’s hands to hold but the younger girl flinched and backed away slightly. Yocchan lowered her own hands and smiled weakly. It was clear that this relationship had a long way to go before it was as back to normal as it could be.
But this was a start and I was proud of both of them.
