Scandal in the spotlight - Sister of Iori

CHAPTER 17

"Hey Ota"I call out to him.He turns back and finally sees me.

"Hikari!I didn't expect to see you here."he replys .

"Neither did I.What are you doing here?"I ask him.

"Well..I was just going home and what about you?"

"I was just returning from revance's home."I reply.

"Huh..Don't you live with revance?" he asks me.I quickly put my hand over my mouth realising what I just said.

"Uh..well....I-I..was just going to sh-shopping."I shutter while speaking.

'What the hell am I saying' I mentally face palm myself.

"Uh..shopping at this time.And anyways you just passed by the shopping mall."he says.

"Oh really..I didn't notice.."I reply scratching the back of my neck.

"What are you hiding Hikari?"

"Me?I'm not ..hiding anything."I reply nervously.

"You can't fool me Hikari.If there's something bothering you,you can tell me."he says kindly.I sigh in defeat.

'It won't be bad telling him the truth.'I think to myself.

"Ok then.But it's not the best place to say it."I tell him.

"Then why not go to that cafe?"he offers.I think about it.And Ichiya is on a business trip so why not.And it's not late.

"Sure.Lets go."I accept his offer.

We enter the cafe and take a seat in the corner.We order a coffee .I sigh about thinking the whole situation. Ota doesn't say anything. After a few minutes our coffee arrives.

"So.."Ota trails off.I give him a slight nod.

"Well you see,I wanted to be an idol when I knew that my brother Iori is joining Revance.I loved him and admired him so I wanted to follow his footsteps.When he told dad about his dream,he refused.But he finally agreed.He didn't even say anything when I wanted to be an idol.And so I started to live with Revance.They all treated me like their sister.I also loved them like a brother.It was all fine for these past few years.But now..."I trailed off.

"Now..?"Ota asked.I let out a sigh.

"Then a few weeks ago in Japan I was called by my dad.Iori also went with me.He then...announced that I-I was engaged with Ichiya for saving his company.I never wanted to accept it but he blackmailed me."

"How did he blackmailed you"He asks me.

"He had some photos of me living with revance.Like going to shopping with Kyohei,getting tickled by Nagi, playing games with Kota,listening to music with Taka ,cooking with Ryo, riding on Iori's back and giving a kiss to Kyohei for giving me a big treat for birthday .It could ruin both of us.So I had to agree.And for that now I have to live with my so-called fiancee.I don't even like him."I let out a huge sigh after finishing.

"Thats awful.I'll see if I can help you."
he replys.

"Huh..how can you help?"I question him.

"Well you know Eisuke Ichinomiya. He's a good friend of mine.And remember when you left that party he was sure that something is wrong and wanted to help you."he says smiling.

"Wait why would Mr.Ichinomiya want to help me?"I ask him.

"You wouldn't believe but you remind him of his sister."he stuck out his tounge and continues,"he also likes to see you perform."

"Thank you very much.Tell Mr. Ichinomiya that I'm grateful to him."I reply gratefully.

"Sure .Well we should go its getting late."he tells me.

"Yea let's go."We get out of the cafe and say goodbye to each other.While I'm going by a quiet path where there is no one , a black van suddenly stops in front of me.Before I could react,the door of the van opens and a hand grabs me inside.I feel something covering my nose and when I smell it I lose consciousness.
