Thunderella - Chapter 8
Title: Tsunderella
Chapter: 8 - OPEN YOUR EYES
Characters: NEWS members, Tackey
Fandom: Johnny's Entertainment
Rating: PG15
Summary: When the truth finally come out in the open, what kind of disaster could have waited for them?
A/N: *snerks at the random guest appearance* Haii... this chapter was the reason chapter 6 and 7 kinda lagged in their progress. Aaaah, I tend to write better for angst themes...
----------------------------------
Ryo smiled at Tegoshi as both of them walked back to his house from the market.
“Honestly, Tegonyan... you shouldn’t have to do this. I can carry the groceries by myself—“
“Nonsense! And it’s Sunday... I haven’t had anything planned today so I might as well hang around with you. What—? Were you worried your stepmother would see us together, Ryo-tan? Don’t worry... if she wanted to do something, I’m a good runner!”
Ryo laughed as he sighed. “Yes, I was worried about that too... but if you didn’t mind—eh?”
Tegoshi glanced at him strangely as Ryo’s attention seemed to be diverted to his house.
“What was it? It there something wrong, Ryo-ta—“
“That car was here.” said Ryo mechanically as he dashed towards his house. Not sure of what had just happened, Tegoshi ran after Ryo as well...

“So, Toyama-san... because of this, I really need to have a word with Ryo-kun. It was part of Nishizawa-san’s last wish and Ryo-kun was already reaching that age. It was Nishizawa-san’s wish to have his son run his business in his place and it was time to entrust him with the rest of the inheritance. Since Hide was still missing... Ryo’s the only one left to—“
Yuko slammed her hand on the table beside her. “No! Never. I won’t let you do that. Besides... Ryo was not in any condition to be able to—“
Sounds of bags of groceries being dropped onto the floor caught the attention of the two adults as Yuko gave a cry to see Ryo standing before them. She stuttered as she failed to find something to cover up the situation.
“So this was why you did not want me to go to school, wasn’t it? The reason why you never let me meet any of my father’s friends or colleagues, and why you never let me venture out of the house by myself! How could you? How could you do this to me—?”
The man that had been talking to his stepmother stood as he walked towards him. “Ryo-kun! Finally... there’s something I wanted to talk to you about—”
Without warning, Yuko suddenly got up and pushed the man away from Ryo before grabbing Ryo towards herself. Tegoshi gave a cry as she picked up a kitchen knife from the table and held it over Ryo’s neck. The man exclaimed loudly at this as Yuko glared at them madly.
“Stay away from me or I’ll kill this boy!” she exclaimed. “Now get up and walk out of here... slowly. Don’t make any stupid moves...” Yuko warned again as Tegoshi and the man could do nothing but obey her commands. Ryo felt his whole body shaking as the knife’s sharp edge barely touching the skin of his neck.
Yuko suddenly threw him aside as she raced towards the door to lock it shut. Freed for the moment, Ryo ran towards the stairs as he headed towards his stepmother’s room upstairs. His first thought had been on that drawer in her room where he had seen her kept some of her valued documents safe. Ryo hastily searched with all his might as he found a folder with his father’s name written on it. His eyes immediately darted towards the highlighted portion of the document as he gasped.
It was a copy of his father’s last will. And the highlighted portion was all about the details of his father’s inheritance that should be passed to him and his older brother. Details that neither him nor his brother had found out before this—and just then, a wallet dropped out of the folder. He opened it to find his brother’s identification card in one of the card slot inside the wallet. The wallet was empty of course aside from the card, but still—could his stepmother have anything to do with whatever that have happened to his brother in the past?
Before he had time to dwell on that thought, Ryo looked up and saw his reflection in the mirror in front of him as well as his stepmother raising her knife to stab him. He quickly evade the attack as the knife only cut his arm. He hastily crawl his way out of the room—putting Hide’s wallet inside his pocket—as Yuko noticed that he had been holding the copy of the will in his hand.
“GIVE THAT BACK TO ME!” Yuko screamed as Ryo dashed out of the room.
“No way! This thing was rightfully mine!” he screamed back as he headed towards the stairs. Yuko caught his arm as Ryo fought to get her grip off from his hand. She tried to get the folder off from Ryo’s grip as he stubbornly held on to it.
“Let go! LET GO OF ME!” Ryo screamed before realising that he was now standing on air...

Tegoshi started to cry profusely as he held onto his phone, slamming on the door to get it to open. The other man also had tried to ram the door open without much effect. They’ve heard some screams from inside the house, so Tegoshi was really afraid that something bad was happening to Ryo-chan. He glanced back towards the gates as finally Keiichi, Pi and Jin arrived.
“Thank goodness. Keii-san! Hurry... open the door! We must save Ryo-tan!” cried Tegoshi as Keii hastily took out his house keys to open the door. He seemed to recognise the other man but said nothing. His worries escalated as he heard some crashing sounds before the lock was finally opened.
All of them hurriedly entered as Keiichiro noticed his mom kneeling at the foot of the stairs. He was about to call out to her before seeing the other figure lying on the floor beside her.
“My god.... RYO!” he cried as all of them dashed towards the stairs before the man who had come in with them pulled Yuko away from Ryo.
“Oh no, Ryo—“, cried Pi as the rest of them could not utter a word.
Ryo was lying sprawled on the floor, eyes still partially open as a pool of blood started to form near the place where his head had landed. Keiichiro could not speak as he stared towards his brother, feeling helpless because he have not been able to protect his brother. Tegoshi suddenly gasped as everyone’s attention turned towards him.
“Ryo-tan is still alive!” he exclaimed as everyone glanced back towards Ryo.
True enough, Ryo’s eyes had moved slightly... and it seemed that he was trying hard to speak. Ryo tried to move his left hand as Tegoshi grabbed his hand.
“Jin! Call for an ambulance now!” cried Pi as Jin said that he already did. He looked over to Ryo worriedly as the older lad moved his eyes shakily between the three of them. Ryo’s eyes stopped towards Keii’s direction as he started to cry.
“K-Keii... nii...”
Keii gasped as he carefully leaned over to hear better.
“What... Ryo?”
“...nai! U... nai... yo...”
Keii tried to look reassuring to him as he took Ryo’s hand before squeezing it gently.
“It’s going to be okay, Ryo. Don’t be afraid. Help is coming... stay put there, little brother.”
Ryo continued to cry regardless as his head nodded sideways, passing out.

Shige, Ohkura and Massu ran up towards them as Keii, Pi, Jin, Tegoshi and an older man turned towards them. They were all at the corridors opposite the emergency room, since Ryo’s operation was still ongoing. Shige collapsed on a nearby bench after Keii finished explaining the situation to the others.
“I can’t believe this... I had been hoping something like this would not happen.”
The older man bowed apologetically towards the youngsters as he spoke.
“I’m very sorry. If I had known Yuko would react like this, I would have tried to reach to Ryo using another way—“, he started to say as Keii patted his arm.
“It’s not your fault, Inagaki-san. You didn’t know... and mother almost always tried to keep Ryo under a tight leash. If only I have known you’ve been looking for Ryo as well, I could have also—“
Inagaki smiled weakly. “It’s not your fault either, Keii-kun.”
“Who’re you?” Shige started to say as Inagaki bowed apologetically.
“Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I’m Inagaki Goro—“
“He was Ryo-chan’s father’s lawyer,” Keii added as the rest of them nodded.
“I’m also Ryo’s father’s good friend and his legal guardian. I’m sorry it took me this long; I could have prevented that incident with Hideaki-kun as well if I knew about Yuko. But all these time, Yuko had been very elusive when it came to the matter of the two siblings. And a few years before, I’ve been abroad for work so I haven’t had any chance to find out anything until now. I know it’s too late to say this now—“
The twin door suddenly opened as several of the medical personnel wheeled Ryo out of the room before the doctor walked out to meet Inagaki. The two adults started to talk between themselves as the youngsters followed the medical personnel towards Ryo’s hospital ward...
