{Yume1 Chapter10 - new beginnings..}

The rapper drove back to Shibuya-ku, all happy with the events of the day.   He has his work cut out for him,
keeping Jamie permanently his.  He was trying to think everything through as he got to the photoshoot. 

Apologizing profusely for being very late, he was immediately thrown into a chair for make-up and the stylist

picked out clothes for him to wear.  He was the only one they were waiting for to get the group shot.  As they

waited for the backdrop to be set-up, Aiba and Jun came up to him.
"Hold it! No need to thank me Sho-kun"  Jun said holding up his hands as he approached," but if you really want to..."
"Well..I'm sorry for hitting you yesterday.  Aiba told me this morning you planned all of it.  Thank you, Jun"

Sho smiled widely, the two bandmates giving each other a high five.
"So how was it?"  Jun asked, winking and patting the older man's back.
"How was what?" Sho was puzzled at his question.
"I think he was asking if anything happened between you and Jamie-chan last night.  We've been arguing about that since Jun-chan explained his most devious plan to date" Aiba smiled as he sat down on the sofa beside the taller man.
"Ehhh?  You thought what?!" the rapper exclaimed, giving his bandmates a menacing glare.
"Well....you were like that before, Sho-kun.  How are we to know if that isn't the same here?"  Jun smirked back at their rapper, standing in front of him, arms akimbo.
"I know i was a player but this is different.  I have no intention of toying around with Jamie-chan's feelings",he
replied seriously.
"Well, that's good then.  At least this won't be another melodrama, remember what happened with you and Hikari-chan?" Jun chuckled.  Aiba looked from one to the other, it was an unspoken pact not to mention the girl's name ever again since the whole commotion a year ago.  Almost getting Sho-chan in trouble for going out with girl way too young for him.  The tabloids suddenly unearthed it earlier in the year but got the story all wrong which was good since the Jimousho didn't really need to do anything about it and just let the story die down.  But Sho did get an earful about it from Kitagawa anyway.  Sho was pursing his lips, trying not to get all moody again.  He had better things to think about than dig up the past, even if it was the only other girl he really loved.  Hikari and her lovely blue eyes.  Her face and every curve of her body that he had memorized that whole summer.  The confidence and fire in her that he loved so much was a stark contrast from Jamie-chan's shy confidence.  He must stop comparing the two, Hikari had gone away and Jamie was there for him.
"Ne Sho-kun, its your turn...Sho-kun?!" Aiba nudged him back to reality.
"Ah...sumimasen..." the tall man got up and posed for the photographer, his mind a mile away from where he was.  Wondering what Jamie was doing at that very moment.

At the FC clinic, Tina had gained her conscieousness. And as her eyes fluttered open, it was Yoko's worried face that hovered over her, almost making her faint again.
"D-daijoubu?" the man asked her, obviously worried about her.  Lhukie, excused herself to see her older friend better.
"Ate Tina...are you alright?" the petite psych student asked.  (note: Ate is our country's word for oneesan, pronounced as Ah-teh.. XP )
"I-i'm alright, daijoubu..." the college professor answered, trying to sit up but her head was still a bit heavy.
"Don't try to get up, Tina-san" Ryo said from the couch near the cot.
"I'm so sorry for being a nuisance." Tina replied blushing a bit and motioned for Lhukie to come closer.
"What is it?" the petite girl whispered to the older woman, leaning closer.
"Can't we go now?  I mean...this is all to akward, Lhuke" Tina said a few octaves lower.  She was obviously having a hard time since her ichiban was right there, near the cot and a bit concerned about her well-being.
"Well, can you satnd up?" the younger girl asked, she was a bit shy herself since Yokoyama Yu was really nice enough to make the FC security allow them to take her friend into the clinic. 
"Yeah, I can " the young lady professor forced herself to sit up even if she still felt a bit woozy.
"Oi, where do you think you're going?" Yoko's brow furrowed, trying to stop the girl from getting up but Tina's hand went up to stop him.
"Daijoubu, Yokoyama-san.  We need to get back to our hotel, the others must be waiting for us already.  We still have to get ready for the concert tomorrow" she explained.
"Concert?  You're here to watch Arashi's anniversary concert then." Ryo concluded.
"Y-yes..."Lhuke replied as she was trying to help Tina walk out of the room.
"Ahh...sou ka...  You're Arashi fans then?" the slighter man's face fell, he was sort of hoping that they were Kanjani Eito fans from the reaction they got from the taller of the two girls.
"Ahh..we are but we're more Johnny's Entertainment fangirls.  We love everyone b-but...w-we...l-like..Kan-j-jani  Eito the most.." the petite girl said softly.
"Hommani?" Yoko grinned widely and seeing that his smile made Tina melt inside.  He was so adorable when he did that.  Then Yoko's keitai rang, it was Aiba-chan, they were close friends and the tall Arashi member was wanting to go out that night and drink.
"Anou~  s-shitsurei shimasu.." the two girls said as they were trying to get away but Ryo caught Lhuke's arm.
"D-don't go yet.  S-sumimasen" the young man said letting go of her arm," we'll drive you to your hotel"
The two girls were trying to refuse politely when Yoko got off his keitai and insisted to drive them to their hotel.  The girls thought it rude to refuse any more so they just agreed to it and were dropped off by the two at Hotel Sky Court Koiwa.  The girls were about to get out of the van when Yoko turned," could we ask for your numbers, jsut in case you want to be shown around we'll be glad to do that"

Digits were exchanged, as well as email addresses.  Ryo handed his keitai over to Lhuke, the girl hesitantly took it to enter her mobile number before handing it back to him.  The young man smiled as he looked at the number and typed in the girl's name in katakana, the two fangirls got out of the van and thanked them.
"Chotto matte..." the younger K8 member said," you haven't gotten my number yet."
"Ahhh..sou ka..." the petite girl giggled and handed her keitai, their hands touching.  Ryo not taking his eyes away from the girl as he took the mobile from her.  After that, the girls went into the hotel, the two boys gave a whoop of triumph as they sped off to meet up with Aiba-chan.

Jamie was still up writing in her red notebook while everyone slept, when her keitai buzzed.  For messages, she didn't like for the thing to make unnecessary noises, only for when it was recieving a call that he chose one of Sho's rap parts to play as her ringtone.  She looked at the number to see who it was.

"Mah...who is this?  Its an international number.  I haven't given anyone my number yet here in Tokyo...just...Aiba-chan..hmm...but i have his number saved here", she muttered to herself, opening the message, it read in eigo:

Jamie,
You might be sleeping now but I wanted to tell you.  I want to see you right now, I want to know that you're

alright.  I hope you've made a decision about us.  Like I said, please just give me a chance to get to know you

better, as you me.  Please stay by my side.

your Sho-suki

Her heart melted,  he was really persistent, she giggled.  After debating on what to reply, she started typing:

Shosuki,

I'm still awake.  Don't worry about me too much, I'm ok.  You should rest now, its getting late and you have

work tomorrow.  I'm still thinking about it, don't get me wrong.  I want to stay but I'm trying to find a way to

stay.

Jamie

The girl sent the message off and set her phone down beside her pillow, trying to drift off to sleep but soon the sound of Sho's rap echoed softly in the guest room she occupied.  Looking at the screen of her mobile, it was Sho.  She wasn't sure if she was going to answer but she didn't want him to think that she was ignoring him so she flipped the keitai open and answered.
"H-hai?" she said softly into the reciever.
"Jamie!  uwah...your voice is nice on the phone" the voice said from the other end, she could hear the smile in it.
"D-doumo...but why did you call?  You should sleep now, its already late."
"I just had to tell you, just let me try and do things right this time for you.  I've been burned myself apart from what the public knows.  Just please let me into you heart, Jamie" the girl could hear his voice pleading.
"I-i...yes...I'll go out with you.  I think my mom will let me stay here a bit longer.  I'll sort things out at my end but I don't want to be seen in public with you.  I mean, I'm just thinking about your sake.  I don't want you to get into trouble ne" she said biting her lower lip.
"Do you really mean that?" Sho said aloud over the mobile,"You'll really go out with me?!  You're staying in Tokyo?!"
"Hai, I'm staying for the six months.  I'm going to call my mom tomorrow to have things arranged" she said with a smile.
"I want to see you now"  the rapper said suddenly.
"But its almost midnight!" the girl protested.
"Look outside..."
"Eh??? don't tell me...."the girl stood up and walked to the window, it faced the street and he saw Sho in a black shirt and jeans, leaning on his van.
"Yeah..yeah.. I'm here," the man smiled and waived up at her.  The girl in turn started giggling into the keitai and waived back.
"Why are you laughing?" Sho's brows furrowed, pouting at her reaction.
"This is so cliche!  Like in a fairytale or love story.  This can't really be happening" the girl replied," wait I'll come down ne"
