{yume 1 chapter 11.2: very danger}

It was early morning in Shibuya and in the Jimousho building the young men of Arashi we're already waiting for the first meeting of the day.  And a very nervous Aiba sat near the window as Nino and Jun murmured to each other about the reason for the meeting.  Ohno mused it was nothing but trivial stuff that needed to be sorted out.  As soon as Sho came in, Aiba stood up and rushed towards him and whispered.
"I'm sure. Daijoubu, Aiba-chan" Sho nodded and patted his friend's shoulder.  That's when Kitawaga-san came into the room, everyone fell silent as he sat down at the head of the conference room's table.  He nodded and the young men sat along either side; Sho and Aiba at one side, while Ohno, Nino and Jun at the other.
"Well, are we all ready?" the small man asked grimly looking around him.  The door opened and Sho's manager and lawyer came in to sit beside him.
"Now we are" Sho answered professionally.
"Good.  Now I think you all know why we're here this morning.  I was supposed to ask only Masaki-kun and Sho-kun to come today but since this has been a long-standing issue with most of the young men in this agency, I might as well stress it further.  Am I not right, Masaki-kun?" the old man clasped his hands on the table.  His face very stern and unforgiving.  Aiba was relly araid of him since his last tryst with an ex-girlfriend.  He really didn't want to be kicked out of the jimousho for driving Sho and Jamie-chan but he knew he did nothing wrong.
"A-anou~ Kitagawa-san.." Aiba stuttered.
"If there's anyone to blame here it would be me Kitagawa-san.  I know its against the jimousho contract I signed to date or even be involved with anyone.  And what happened the other day was not as I had expected.  I was only thanking Rinnu-san for not going to the papers about the accident.  She was about to leave when the paparazzi came"  the rapper explained.
"Sou desu ka?  And how do you explain these photographs?" Johnny-san's assistant came in and handed Sho a brown envelope.  Yappari, they were pictures of him hugging the girl.  He had to will himself not to smile at them.  He wanted to keep them for himself but left them on the table for the others to see.  Ohno reached for them and showed them to Jun and Nino.  Nino smirked, he knew that since Sho was calm, their rapper had a couple of aces up his sleeves.  Jun winked at Sho, a sign of solidarity between them before turning poker-faced.
"Ah...these... yes, this was a goodbye.  I hugged her goodbye.  But when the paparazzi came and interrupted us, I had to take her away from them" Sho answered confidently.
"Hmm...then why is she still here in Tokyo?"
"She was persuaded to stay since she came here to watch our concert tonight" he had a sure answer for everything, his smirk came.
"Naruhodo.  But are you seeing her?" the old man asked pointedly.  He knew the answer but would like to hear it from the young man.  Around this time last year, he had the same problem with him.  It didn't really take much to make the young girl to go back to her country and forget about the young rapper.
"Hai.  I am seeing her but not exclusively.  She hasn't chosen to as of yet"
"Hontouni?  An idol such as yourself?  Not the girl's kareshi yet?  I find that hard to believe!" Kitagawa-san chuckled sarcastically.

"Well, you may believe what you want.  But Rinnu-san is not like the other fans we have who will do anything just to get close. That's why I found her to be special.  That and a lot more.  She doesn't even want to meet me in public" the young man explained.
"Hmm..even so she needs to go back home after the concert tonight or we'll make her go" the old man stated.
"Ah, may I propose something before you do that Kitagawa-san?"Sho was highly polite and the old man wondered why both the young man's manager and lawyer were present.
"If this is to make her stay..."the old man started sternly.
"Please let me finish first and then make your decision" Sho held up his hand.  The old man stopped and leaned back on his chair.
"Go on, young man"
"Well, I was wondering if Rinnu-san can work behind the scenes in the Jimousho.  I know she writes well, I've seen her work"  Sho wasn't lying since he called Annie in the middle of the night and asked what Jamie can do.  He ruled out singing since they can't both be idols, that would make things more difficult for them.  If he could get Jamie into the Jimousho without the public noticing, that would be his best bet.
"A writer?  But she has to write in Nihongo.  She may write well in Eigo but~" Kitagawa was against it already but Sho didn't loose hope.
"Ah...Wakatta!"Jun chimed i. "She can write translations for us.  A lot of fans are already doing it, why don't we just translate it ourselves ne?"
"Sou desu ne..." Ohno nodded.
"Sou..It would be easier for us to expand outside of Asia, deshou?" Nino added.
"Mou...It would be hard for her since she's not studied the language properly.  But she's smart ne Sho-chan?"  Aiba nervously said.
"Hai.  She is for someone who hadn't finished university education" Sho beamed happily.  He knew he couldn't lose this fight.
"Hmmm..but she needs to fully understand everything deshou?" Jun mused.
"Sou, she needs to take Nihongo lessons."  Nino declared, nodding in agreement.
"Well, Kitagawa-san?"  Sho was hoping for the answer.  It was a fifty-fifty thing but he had placed all his cards on the table hoping to win.
"But we have people in the agency who can translate things for us already" Kitagawa was adamant not to let him win easily.
"Well we'll also have a gaijin's point of view on things.  She wants to take up communications back in her country.  She's good in personal relations and can speak well with other people.  She'll be an asset to you Kitagawa-san."he was really determined.  After what seemed like an hour but was in fact just a full minute, Johnny stood up,"I'll think about it.  Keep her in your sight and not let her be seen in public, I'll settle your issue with the paparazzi"
The old man went out of the room with his assistant and Sho collapsed onto the chair, all that effort had him on his toes.
"Sho-kun, daijoubu.  I think We'll get the answer soon enough" Ohno pointed outside the glass window, it was Jamie in her baggy jeans and a loose shirt.
"What is she doing here?" Sho was aghast as she was ushered into the room by the security.
"Anou~ Ohayou gozaimasu.  Ahhh~  Keito-san...why am I here?  Ahhh~ Shosuki..what's this about?" the young woman's curls were tied to the side as always and her glasses perched on her stubby nose.  She got a call that morning before she was able to board the bus and Sho's manager asked her to come here.
"Jamie-chan...."Sho started but Keito-san stopped him.
"I asked her to join us.  If she fails today in speaking with Kitagawa-san, she would be sent home " his manager said.  Soon Johnny came back.
"Ahh..is this the infamous girl?  Ohayou Jamie-chan." he shook her hand and sat back at the head of the conference table.  Sho's manager and lawyer moved to make room for Jamie to sit beside Sho."Please do take a seat, my dear."
"Hajimemashite.  Anou~ may I just ask...Are you~~?"
"Hai.  Johnny Kitagawa desu.  But we're not here to talk about me but of you."
"Eh? ME? demou nande?" she was flustered.  Kitagawa-dono was in front of her and she was in the Jimousho building.
"Hai.  We were talking about you earlier.  Sho-kun here has suggested you can stay with us to help with translating and giving your input.  I thought I might as well ask the person being recommended first.  what do you think?" the old man was asking pleasantly but something told her he wasn't asking nicely.
"Ah...I'd like to work here and get experience.  I've always loved talking to people and my work always involved interaction, well talking on the phone at least but I'm not sure if I have the right qualifications....." she said trying not to fidget and show her nervousness.
"Ah..qualifications aside.  DO you think you can translate a few lines of some of song for uploading in the JWeb?" the old man asked as she was handed a blank pad and a piece of paper with lyrics of a senpai song she didn't recognize.
"Ahh...I'll do my best.  I'm not as good since I'm only self taught."
"You may start whenever you want and please just translate the first stanza of the song"
"Hai." she nodded and started, taking the notebook she always had that had her translations and finished in a matter of five minutes.  The paper was handed to Johnny's assistant who read the translation before whispering something to the old man.
"Ah..You've done well my dear.  My assistant who is a TouDai graduate, says that you've translated the stanza as a whole and not per line.  Why is that?" the old man asked.
"Anou~ that's how I translate back home.  Because when you do it per line, the meaning of the song gets confusing and sometimes it sounds funny to a gaijin but I can do it per line if you'd like" the young woman reached for the pad but the owner of the agency waived his hand.
"No that would do.  And you say that you're self-taught?  You didn't go to a school to learn this?" the old man couldn't believe it but he did see her do it herself.
"Hai.  That's how much I love Arashi's music" she blushed as she said it and looked at her hands folded on her lap.  Sho reached for them and squeezed one of her hands.  She looked up and smiled at him.  Kitagawa was thinking deeply.  The young woman did prove to do well but to train her....hmmm...
"Well, I'll give you three months to master Nihongo and work with Keito-san.  He shall show you around.  For the meantime, you'll be in training.  No slacking off here in the Jimousho.  Sho-kun knows that very well.  Now, I have another meeting.  Shitsurei shimasu." the old man stood up to leave.  Sho smiled widely as her stood and bowed low as the old man left.  The rest of them did as well.  Jamie was too aghast to move.  Sho hugged her tightly.
"I get to keep you here.  Arigatou, Jamie-chan" he whispered.  The others were already whooping in jubilation and exchanging high-fives.
It was Aiba who tapped Sho's shoulder, causing them to separate/
"We still have a concert, Sho-kun" the funny and tall man grinned.
