part 3: {day 1 in Tokyo ~ Smile}

"Ah sumimasen.  I'm very rude.  Hajimemashite.  Watashi no namae wa Rinnu Jeimiru desu.  Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!" I bowed a bit wincing at the pain.  They both saw and tried to reach out and stop me.  I just held up my hand tt i was ok and continued saying, "Watashi wa jouzuni nihongo ga hanasemasen.  So please bear with me if I speak in English ne."  looking at Aiba and then at Sho.

They both nodded.  Aiba was really kawaii he tried to tell me he was sorry in English.  "I em cho beri sorry."  I kept smiling and said, "daijoubu"  Sho cut in and said that since they were too late for their practice he called the others and are on their was over to meet me.  My eyes almost popped out of my head.  I think i was blushing already. 

While waiting for Nino, Ohno and Jun.  Sho asked me where I was from and what i did.  He translated sometimes when Aiba didin't seem to get it.  ~kyaa~ i was flailing inside but i had to stifle it.  The rabu is real.  There was a knock on the door.  Aiba walked over and showed the rest of arashi in.  They greeted me and apologized for the two.  I again had to tell them my story and it was great that i was there at the time.

"Anou sa, hontoni gomenasai.  If the accident didn't happen your practice wouldn't have been cancelled." i winced again as i bowed a bit in bed. still clutching the pillow.

Sho was very troubled and it was clearly seen on his face.  The others barely understood what i said except for Aiba who I think was trying to make sense of what i told them.  "You must not apologize for being there ne Jeimi-chan," He said touching my shoulder, "Our practice is nothing compared to someone's life. OK?!"  He then turned to the others and explained what we both said.  The others reacted vehemently.  Nino looked up from his game and said tht I was baka to think tt.  Jun was staring at me so I smiled back, he said something to Sho.  I think I heard pretty or something.  Sho nodded and winked at him. And Ohno was really frowing that I pointed it out and told him he was "kawaii".  We all laughed at that.  He kinda blushed.  All the while,  Rika was sitting nearby making sure I didint get smothered or tired.  After a while she came forward and spoke to them in Nihongo and sid it again in english, "Rinnu-sama needs to rest.  Please come back tomorrow."

They all agreed.  I understood that they wanted me to get well soon.  I saw Jun's gaze linger over me and he just smiled and waived, "matta ne!"

"ja matta ne" i replied.

They were all on their way out when Sho hung back and came closer, "anou~ would you like to go out sometime? nothing too serious of course jsut to thank you."

I couldn't believe my ears, " Eh?"

"oh its ok if you dont want to!", he was kinda anxious it was almost funny. 

"Chigauyou.., " i smiled trying to hide the fact that I could hardly breathe with all the butterflies in my tummy, "ii you..i'd love to go out ne..is it with minna? tt would be fun!"

"Ah...i was talking abt just the two of us ne...demo if you're not..."

"Maji?  Are you sure you want to do that?!"

"Sou desu kedo..."

"Wakaru ne.  Hai. I'll go out with you since you just wanted to thank me ne."

He smiled, "I hope you can get better so you could watch our concert ne."

"Gamabattekimasu! Ja matta ne, Sakurai-dono"

"Please call me Sho-kun.  Ja ne..."

I nodded and waived goodbye as he walked out the door.  I could hear whooping sounds from the others out in the corridor.  I heard them getting reprimanded by Rika for being so loud.  I had to giggle on that one.  Rika had me sleep since the bruises on the left side of my body were still hurting.
