IDOLiSH7 with Chinami (IDOLiSH7 Fan Fiction)

11 : Emotional Reunion

"Takanashi should be realizing his own powerlessness around now." A voice said as he stared out the window with an evil smirk. "Even when people encounter something wonderful, once they discover its shortcomings, they despair. The dream ends, and it slowly loses value."

He continued to look down on the buildings that were shorter than his own as he continue to look down on people who he thinks are below his position. "More than anything, I doubt their spirits will be able to keep up." He continued. "Rage, sadness. Eventually they';; lose the will to bestow dreams upon their fans. Soon it'll be a checkmate." This time, he looked up and stared at his smirking reflection. "Prepare yourself, Takanashi."

Tamaki was by the vending machine, buying himself a drink when people started whispering behind his back, causing him to glare at them. The anger that was brewing inside him made him want to confront those people. But a voice called out and the anger disappeared, catching his attention. 

"Mister." Tamaki greeted.

"Great timing." The director said with a smile. "We're going to be filming that show."

"Huh?" That left Tamaki clueless before finally realizing what the producer was pertaining to. "You mean that show?"

Just before they could get down to conversing about the show, someone suddenly called out Tamaki's name. "Yotsuba-san!" Chinami called without realizing that Tamaki was talking to someone. "We're getting ready to start!"

The director said his goodbyes before Chinami could even get closer.

"What was that?" She asked and Tamaki just shrugged as he turned to get back to where the others were.

"An emotional reunion?" Riku asked. "That's happening after filming today?" 

"Yes," Tsumugi nodded, standing close to the door with Chinami who had been clueless since the beginning, "Tamaki-san previously promised the director that he'd do the show. It's sudden, but they're going to be filming today."

"Is it to find your younger sister?" Chinami asked as she was finally putting pieces together but is still a bit clueless. 

"Yeah," Tamaki nodded with a solemn face. "they said they'd use the show's money to find her."

"Should we be doing this right now?" Iori asked Tamaki.

"I don't care if people say I'm faking it." He answered, his voice filled with determination. "I'd do anything to see her."

"They haven't told you they found her?" Sogo asked this time.

"They'd keep that secret to get his candid reaction" Yamato answered, concluding that the staff would want to keep it to themselves first.

But positivity still engulfed the group as Mitsuki smiled at the younger member. "I hope they found your sister."

"Yeah." 

Chinami could understand Tamaki's feeling of longingness for his family as she, too, feels it every night. Losing her mother at an early age made her act like an adult as the only adult in her life was her father. Moreover, her father's that kind of person. She would act strong in front of other people but when night came, she'd be crying herself to sleep, missing the soft caress of her mother. She was a child, and all children would want their parents to smother them in love. But Chinami never felt that love right after her mother died. 

As she watched the group wished for Tamaki's wish to come true, there was a knock that disrupted Chinami's line of thoughts.

"Yes?" Tsumugi answered, and the door opened, revealing a staff from the show everyone was just talking about.
