Love Situation: He likes me, I like someone else

2009-09-24T16:27:05Z

So, you should know about Geron. My 'friend' who is more than obviously in love with me. And of course, Im flattered. Especially because whenever I see him he's sweet and sincere and fun to hang around with. And the signals he sends me are glaringly obvious and...well...im flattered and honored XD However...I don't see myself liking him like that =/ I see us as friends and really nothing more. And I dread the day when he confesses and I have to break his heart...

I never really liked him. I've tried. But...yeah...no. lol. Wasn't happening. And while I was trying to picture myself with Geron, anoher guy named Emmanuel dropped into my lap ~

He's in my English class and he sits right in front of me. Whenever Prof. Hawkins tells us to get into groups or partners, he automatically turns and pairs up with me since I'm the closest person. And, lemme tell you, he's is..well..he's just awesome XD

Manny (haha he told me to call him that ^_^) is very very VERY opinionated. He's totally going to be a public speaker or something like that. He even said that he wants to major in something like that. Debate and stuff. But, yeah, he's very opinionated and a GREAT conversationalist. He's the type of person you could sit there and talk to FOREVER about one specific topic and there never be any awkward pauses. He's speaks well, his vocabulary is good, he's has a cute laugh (XD) and he's a really good listener. Whenever I'm talking, he gives me his full attention and looks at me with such intent that shows he's REALLY listening ~ I don't get that with other people really =/ And we see eye to eye on some things too. I'm very opinionated too, but we tend to have similar opinons on things.

In short, I think I like him ^_^ And I'm not about to let Geron's advances get in the way of my emotions. But...at the same time...=/ I don't know. This is kinda difficult and more than a litle bit annoying -_- Because if I tell Geron I don't return the feelings he has then he finds out that there's someone else he likes, I feel like he's gona be all like 'what's he have that i don't' you know? He'll get competative and possesive and eventually crazy and i've had more than enough crazy people (my sister's ex husband XDD). Ugh I don't know what to do. But I do know that I would not mind spending a saturday night talking all night with Emmanuel <33

Opinions? Sugguestions? Shippers?? XD *tries to ignor the fact tha ther life could potentially be an Arashi FanFic* lol

I should be doing homework right now XP

2009-09-01T17:13:47Z

I'm such a bad student. I don't do my homework when I'm supposed to ~

No, i am. Kinda. Like off and on. Homework Lj Homework Facebook Homework Twitter Homework Email Homework LJ again =p Hey i get it all done DON'T JUDGE ME *is fully aware that a psyhopathic evil genius lives inside her*

Anyway, *spaz* Nino commercial!! <33 he advertised SOUP. Yes he's sexy, but you know what? He made me giggle non-stop this time around. Here I am sitting in the school library 'HEHEHEHE' I probably got a few stares. lol. Not that i wasn't being stared at enough because I'm as tall as a freakin' amazon warrior princess AND i looked like a rockstar =D Heels, leather vest, hot shirt and skinny jeans <33 I'd show a pic but I don't have my cam on me.

Anyway, check out the CM here http://arashinino.vox.com/library/post/house-foods-soup-de-okoge-new-version-20090901-nino.html I'm gonna dl it later when I get home. Don't you love how he SANG the jingle at the end? lol

Next up on my "distracted from homework" post, All the Best Record Sales!! Apparently they broke 1 million today. GO ARASHI ~ ARASHI FOREVER!

And that's it for the updates you probably already knew about XP Now for my personal life, GUYS SUCK. -_- *is currently trying to bounce back from rejection and not succeeding* I'm on a 'must shoot and stab all things male except Arashi, NEWS, KAT-TUN, and Johnny's* kick right now. I mean...yeah they can be fun to hang out with. Especially gay guys. Can't hate gay guys. But...straight guys who will willingly step on your heart? Not so much -_- How would you like it if I stepped on YOUR Heart, dude, huh?? How's that make you feel??? *very violent*

I don't know. I'm sure I'll be out of this for soon, but right now...*sigh* If you read my post from yesterday, you'll understand.

And now I'm going back to the books. Ja ne, minna-san ~

My first real heartbreak...love sucks

2009-08-31T01:45:21Z

Ahhh ~ ! Love sucks big time. Especially when it's your first. Yes, ladies and gents it's Ashley's story of First Love =[

It's quite short. It starts with a girl who met a guy. A tall handsome fun sweet good guy who had the cutest smile on earth and the warmest hugs ever. The girl began to like this guy towards the end of her senior year in high school but, because she wasn't sure, she kept her mouth shut. And it got worse as they became closer friends. The hugs were more frequent and she melted everytime he came near, but she just kept on smiling and joked around with him and her other friends. Like nothing was different.

Then one sunday, at a chuch meeting, after all the mess was cleaned up, the guy said his usual goodbye to her. A big hug. Like always, her stomach turned. Normally, she'd just smile hug him feel her stomach turn then go home with her family. But this time...her heartbeat quickened about 50x it's normal pace. And she hugged him longer than normal, feeling the warmth of him, almost about to cry from loving him so much. And that's when she thought to herself 'I have to tell him'

So she waited til late that night after shopping with her sister and sent him a text 'If i told you I liked you, what would you do?' she said 'What do you mean?' was his response. After a long text convo, the guy finally said 'I'm sorry, I just got out of a relationship. You're a nice girl and a good friend, but that's all im looking for right now. Don't wait for me and miss out on the guy God made for you. I don't want you waiting for something that might not happen. If it happens it happens but don't miss out on the guy cuz ur waitin'

The girl cried...then she smiled 'God...you're so nice. That's why I like you so much. When ur ready to date, lemme know'

=[ And such is my story. Now I have a story to tell my kids one day about how your first love can sometimes hurt...

And so it has begun - College >_< (Arashi Concert goodies too!!)

2009-08-27T19:26:31Z

I suppose I should use this journal a little more often XP I'm always posting stories to my writing community and what not that I do NOTHING on here anymore. I think Imma start being alittle more active. And now that I'm in college, I'll have lots to talk about ~

I actually started yesterday (wednesday) and had three classes, United States Federal Government (-_-) Creative Writing and Class Piano. It was all just intro and 'hi im the teacher and im going to suck what's left of your existance into my college-students-lives-sucker machine' lol But my piano teacher is hot ^_^ Im going to be a veeeeery good student in there. lol.

And today i had math and english. i hate math. HATE it always have always will and nothing will ever change that. it'll be a miracle if i get through 4 years of college level math >_< my english teacher is pretty much the definition of AWESOME. She's hilarious. I wish I could've filmed her and put it on youtube, she's just THAT cool. Can't wait to continue that class and creative writing since i love writing.

I may just be shy but i haven't really met anyone *shrug* i guess that'll change eventually. and until then i have maggie, nasyer, christina, and angiie plus the entire arashi fandom to socialize with XP they're more than enough. lol.

OKAY NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF NASYER SENT ME ^_^

Arashi Concert goodies ~ SOO amazing ~ Look look LOOK or you'll die from the lack of amazingness

Jun's big poster is amazing too ~ <33 and Aiba's of course. That boy is beautiful *sigh*

And finally my quote(s) of the day ~

"Improvisation without a script, no one's written it. And now we have the chance to." - High School Musical 3 song High School Musical

"All together makes it better, memories that last forever. I want the rest of my life to feel just like a High School Musical." - High School Musical 3 song High School Musical

And so ends my post. *nodnod* for those of you who read my stories on tomodoi_nagara A couple of updates

The next chapter of Far Away is almost done, just working on the ending. Kinda struggling with it.
Haven't started the next chapter of Rocky & Lulu because I've been working on Far Away and my upcoming story, Ryunshi University
A lot of people were asking for a part 2 to Weakness, it's a work in progress. Currently one paragraph in my notebook XP

NOW I'm done. lol

Arashi Around Asia 2007 + IN DOME MC Hardsub

2009-04-16T18:56:27Z

I DID IT!!! *happy dance* I successfully subbed the MC of Arashi Around Asia 2007. I actually finished it a while ago but I didn't get around to uploading it until just recently. No, it's not the 2008 MC, but this is just as good! And I'm really proud of myself for doing this. Aegisub makes things so simple. Anyway, on to the download!

Arashi Around Asia 2007 + IN DOME MC

This MC was hilarious. Definetely one of my absolute favorites. After Nino tells a story about how he went to the store and bought bread and the cashier didn't give him his change, Sho suggests that Jun act out what would happen if the same thing happened to him.

Then Jun and Ohno switch places and Ohno pretends to be Jun when he's angry. =p Ohno hardly ever talks, and when he does it's absolute love <33 I especially love his little story of how Jun really was pissed off that morning. Oh facial expressions ~

After a lot of picking at Jun about his low tension and anger issues, they move on to how hyper Aiba is in the morning and how he loves Karage. There is no doubt in my mind that Aiba is absolutely WIRED in the morning. He's definetely a morning person and I love that about him, but if he EVER came to me screaming about Karage in the morning, he probably wouldn't be able to do any performing for a little while. -__- Anyway, they then headed up to the stage and two special guests appear and help Aiba set up to perform his solo.

Sho
The scans I used are from a Potato January '09 got them from aanjali. It was such a pretty shoot, but there weren't a lot of pics. (Also some other misc. scan I had on my comp that's also from Potato I think) I would have used that absolutely AMAZING shoot of Sho-kun on the couch and he's shirtless and sexy and...ahhhhhh BUT, I'm working on those now. The pics are hard to make icons with for some reason *shrug*


1	2	3	4	5

Uta no Onii-san Preview
I haven't actually watched the preview 0_o. I downloaded it, then scanned through it in VirtualDub to take screencaps, but I didn't actually watch it. lol. But from what I saw it was seriously cute! I LOVE Riida in that blue and yellow clownish outfit. He looks so cute and...hot. lol. ^_^ I can't wait for this show. And since I loved that outfit so much...most of the icons are of him in that outfit making different faces. lol.

a Day in our Life { chapter 4 }

2008-12-02T20:16:51Z

Slowly but surely, my confidence in this story is falling. >_< I got more responses when I posted on arashi_on (you know, BEFORE I knew it wasn't allowed) and now I'm reduced to jent_fanfics and arashirabu. *sigh* ANYWAY, next chapter. The expo finally starts! Time for Naomi to meet 2 of the boys and unleash her...competitive/angry side. lol. Oh, and one more thing, I'm naming the chapters now. lol.

And on a final note, I feel I should inform you that when I write stories that take place in Japan or has to do with anime or something, I use Japanese phrases...a lot. Quick breakdown of the words in this chapter (because not EVERYONE watches anime and subbed videos as often as I do)

Zettai dame - Absolutely not
Hajimemashite - Literally means 'how do you do'
Yoroshiku (onegaishimasu) - 'Yoroshiku' alone, in the context of this story means 'nice to meet you'. When onegaishimasu is added, it is very very VERY loosely translated to mean 'nice to meet you' as well, but translated literally it can mean 'please take care of me' or 'please be kind to me' or 'Your favor please'
Sensei - You FAIL if you don't know what sensei means. It means 'teacher' and refers to someone with a particular skill set (like a doctor or school teacher)

Excuse the typos that are most likely there and enjoy!

C h a p t e r 4 {Yasashikutte Sukoshi Baka}

Ohno Satoshi and Ninomiya Kazunari...

"And She's all like 'How do you get off talking to ME like that?!' Acting all high and mighty and crap."

One word to describe those two...?

"Well, you were just coming down on me like I was some insignificant being, what was I supposed to do?"

Idiots.

"And meanwhile, he's just standing next to you completely oblivious as to what was going on."

"I knew what was going on."

"You didn't act like it!"

All 5 of them are idiots. But next Aiba, I think they're both perfect defenitions of the word 'idiot'

"Ah, but we beat you in the end, remember?"

"You did not! SS won!"

"And so began your rivalry."

But those two...admittedly...were my first friends in Japan. And Nino...my first rival.

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

Let's look at the recepie for nervousness shall we? Take a building about half as big as Tokyo Dome and bring it to a boil. Add in about 100 trainees and let simmer for a good hour. Then, add in 11 girls from New York and their more or less confident leader and bake at 350. Sprinkle with one scared to death 16 year old, and there you have it.

"Where did your confidence go?" Loretta pulled at a very stubborn Naomi who was gripping to the expo building's door for dear life.

"It stayed at the resturant with my mom!" Naomi whined back, "I am NOT going in."

"Naomi Hidaka, I swear, if you don't let go of that door...!" Loretta groaned and tugged more, "Come on!"

"Zettai dame!!"

"Naomi!"

It wasn't long before Rebecca approached them, a mix of amusement and frustration on her face, "That's obviously not working, Loretta."

Loretta released the girl and let out a sigh, brushing a lock of brown hair out of her face, "Yeah, well, I give up now. You deal with her."

Loretta jogged away leaving Rebecca with her hands on her hips facing Naomi who was now sitting in front of the door in total refusal mode -- legs pulled to her chest and a full pout on her face -- Rebecca knelt down in front of her.

"Your mom showing up really got to you, huh?" Rebecca questioned.

Naomi looked up at her, then back down at her knees, "Not just her appearance. What she said too."

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

(Previously at the resturant)

"I always knew you'd make it in the big leagues, baby." Kisa stood up from her chair after finishing off maybe her 4th alchoholic concoction. The slight wobble in her steps as she backed away from the table made it clear that it was already affecting her.

Naomi shook her head, "I'm just in a talent agency, mom. I'm not famous."

"YET!" Kisa giggled a little. Yeah. The alchohol had her, "This expo is gonna be amazing for you, sweetheart."

"Could you stop with the nicknames please?"

Kisa giggled again and leaned down on the table. Her breath was heavy with the scent of fruit and alchohol and Naomi had to pull back a little to keep herself from gagging. Poor girl couldn't stand the smell of alchohol.

"Listen to me. This expo will be one of the greatest experiences of your life. I went to one just like it when I was younger and it completely changed my life. But, as with all life changing events, I can't promise that it'll be a completely smooth..road..."

Naomi arched an eyebrow. She hadn't worded it quite right, but Naomi got the gist of what she was saying. Naomi smild and nodded, "I got it. Thanks, mom."

Kisa smiled and wrapped her arms around Naomi in a hug, "Good luck."

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

Naomi let out a sigh and looked around the massive expo building. It was filled to capacity with trainees and their teachers. There was so much activity and noise that it almost made Naomi's head spin. The huge gymnasium like building was decorated with painfully bright, neon colored streamers that glowed even brighter with the glaring lights from the cieling. The hardwood floor echoed with footsteps as people dashed around. At the far side of the building was a full out DJ's booth and a tall, lanky asian man with spiked black hair and sunglasses on his face was sifting through the cds. Along with the 8 long refreshment tables, bubble machines in the corners of the room (that could NOT be safe. Who's bright idea was that?), and the walls plastered with flyers advertising the many different talent agencies, it was exhausting just looking at the place.

"You know..." Rebecca clapped her hands on Naomi's shoulders, "You should--"

"Someone's coming up to us..." Naomi mumbled.

Rebecca turned around and saw two people approaching. Intrigued, she released Naomi's shoulders and stood to her feet, then yanked Naomi up with her. Naomi stumbled a little and almost fell into Rebecca's side, but caught her balance and shook a few strands of black hair out of her face. Rebecca's eyes locked on the older man with dark hair and equally dark eyes. He had an authorative, superior air about him. No doube he was one of the angeny managers. Naomi noticed the man for more half a second before her eyes locked on the one walking beside him. He was considerably younger than the other man, looking to be no more than a year younger than Naomi. More cute than handsome, the boy had a round soft-skinned face with dark eyes and nice features. His eyes couldn't be described, really, as glimmering or shining. It was...more of a glaze. As if someone had taken some clear gel and brushed the boy's eyes. It looked as though he were in another world, zoned out from the real world. His dark brown, perfectly style dhair fell just below his cheeks and curled up slightly, creating something like a bobbed effect. Naomi's mouth stood ajar for the entire 10 seconds it took for him to approach. The way he walked. The way he looked. Even the way he shook a few locks of hair out of his face was seemingly perfect. It was almost as though he weren't even real. He looked like a china doll, a model, a...a...

"An angel..."

Rebecca arched an eyebrow, glacing down at Naomi for a moment, then at the 'angel' she was staring at. "He is cute, isn't he? But a bit young for you I think."

Naomi snapped out of the daze, "What?"

Rebecca shrugged, "But if you're into that type of thing, then by all means--"

"I am not--!"

"Hello there."

Naomi's mouth snapped shut at the sound of the older man's voice. Such a smooth, velvety voice he had.

"Hajimemashite. I'm Johnny Kitagawa. Johnny and Associates here in Tokyo" He extended a large hand towards Rebecca.

Rebecca smiled and nodded, the bowed a little and shook his hand, "Rebecca Martin. Sapphire Stone stationed in New York. Yoroshiku."

Naomi traced the underside of her lip and crossed one leg behind the other. The younger boy caught her eyes. He no longer looked zoned out, but he did look slightly...unexicted. As if he was somewhat bored. But there was still a sense of sincerity and kindness on his face that made Naomi smile slightly.

"This is one of my trainees." Rebecca clapped a hand her hands on Naomi's shoulders and pushed her forward, "Naomi Hidaka."

"Hidaka?" Johnny repeated, cocking his head to the side, "No relation to Kisa Hidaka, is there?"

"Actually, yeah." Naomi said, "Kisa Hidaka is my mom."

Johnny beamed and bowed, "Your mother is a very nice and talented woman. We've known each other for a few years now, but, surprisingly, she's never mentioned you to me. I knew she was married, but--"

"I know." Naomi held up a hand, "Not a lot of people know about me. When Mom went of on tour, the press wanted to keep me a secret so as to not mess up her image."

"I see."

Rebecca nodded a little and rubbed Naomi's shoulders vigorously, a subtle sign of sympathy to Naomi.

"Well, if I may introduce one of my own trainees." Johnny put his hand on the small of the younger boys back and pushed him forward a little, "Ohno Satoshi."

Ohno bowed to Naomi, "I'm Ohno Satoshi. I look forward to working with you during the expo. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu."

Naomi felt her stomach flutter as she bowed. Not out of attraction to the boy, but at hearing his voice. If Johnny's voice was like velvet, then Ohno's was like honey. Sweet, delicate, yet smooth and entrancing. Very unexpected of such a young boy.

"Sensei." Johnny said, extending an arm to Rebecca, "Come tell me about Sapphire Stone and let the kids get to know each other."

Naomi arched an eyebrow What are we? Their kids? He makes it sound like he's about to marry her and we 'the kids' have to meet...

Rebecca nodded, "Alright then. Naomi be nice."

Again...like we're kids...

And the two walked off, arm in arm, with Rebecca talking animatedly about the talent agency. Naomi blew out a sigh.

"Why do they actually kinda look good together...?"

Ohno looked over at the pair and shrugged a little in response.

"Ohno-chan, can I ask you something?"

Ohno turned his attention to Naomi and nodded, "Hai."

"How old are you?"

"18."

Naomi had to keep her jaw from dropping and showing how shocked she was, but her wide eyes gave it away. Ohno, however, was unaffected.

"No you're not!" Naomi protested, pointing at him, "There's no way, you look younger than me!"

Ohno merely shrugged again, "A lot of people say I don't look my age."

"That's because you don't." She lowered her hand, "You look like a 15 year old china doll."

"Or, as you said before, an angel." A smirk appeared on his face, the most drastic change in his blank expression that had been made so far.

Naomi traced the underside of her lip...yet again, "You heard that?"

Ohno simply nodded. Naomi let out a breath, then laughed to hide the embarressment, "People say I have a way with words sometimes." She continued to laugh for a few more moments, then smiled.

Ohno's smirk faded into a smile and he let out a soft chuckle, "I see."

"Ah! Right. The Final Time." Naomi crossed her arms behind her back, "Are you--"

"OH-CHAN!"

A boy who looked to be maybe an inch shorter than Ohno bounded up and clapped a hand on Ohno's shoulder. His eyes were almost as dark as his short black hair. Unlike Ohno's small, rounded face, this boy had a narrower face but his features were just as pretty as Ohno's.

"What?"

Nino put a hand on his hip, "Need your help."

"With?"

"Some cocky AMERICAN girl called me and some of the other Jr's out." Nino grumbled through gritted teeth, "I need you to help us take them down."

Ohno arched an eyebrow, "You're going to fight some girls?"

"She said that she and her friends could dance better than us. She said that just because we're boys doesn't mean we're more athletic than girls" Nino angered expression quickly switched to that of excitement, "We're gonna have a dance-off sort of thing. So I need YOU to help since you're one of the best dancers at Johnny's."

Ohno shrugged, "Alright."

"Yosh!" Nino excitedly patted Ohno's shoulder then started dragging him away, "Come on! Come on!"

"Ah-ah...wait. hang on." Ohno pulled out of Nino's grip and faced Naomi, "Gomen. I have to go help--"

Naomi shook her head, "No, it's fine. I'll find something else to do...but, can I ask...who were these girls that called you out?"

Nino pointed to the far corner of the building where a group of 8 girls stood chatting amongst themselves, "Them. They're from New York. Part of some agency called Sapphire Stone."

Naomi could have collapsed on the spot. But to avoid looking completely ridiculous, she hung her head and let out a sigh.

"What?" Nino questioned, "And who are you anyway?"

Naomi slowly lifted her head, "Naomi Hidaka. Nice to meet you. By any chance..was the girl who called you about...a little taller than me, long brown hair...?"

"Yeah."

That was when she collapsed to the floor. Loretta...

"Why? You know her?" Nino stepped forward, "Are you one of them?"

"Yes, I am part of Sapphire Stone. That girl who called you out was my sometimes competitive best friend Loretta."

Naomi promptly got to her feet and let out an annoyed breath then, followed by an intrigued Nino and emotionless Ohno, made her way over to Loretta and the other girls.

"Loretta..." Naomi said in a warning tone as she approached, "Don't do this."

"Why?" Loretta questioned, her eyes flicking to Nino, "Just some friendly competition."

"You're gonna make a scene and Rebecca's gonna get mad!"

"This expo is supposed to be a learning experience, right?" Loretta said, crossing her arms over her chest, "Then this little showdown will give these Johnny's boys a chance to learn something." She looked over at Nino, a slight smirk on her face.

"Don't act all high and mighty!" Nino barked, coming eye to eye with Loretta (It was a quite a scene, considering the fact that Loretta was taller than Nino by a good few inches) "There's no way you'll beat us!"

"Who are YOU to act all high and mighty?!." Loretta snapped back, "Only the winners have bragging rights!"

"Then why do you think I'm bragging?"

Naomi let out a groan and covered her face, "Loretta come ON, chill out. This is so not a big deal!"

A few people had begun to gather around to watch the scene. At noticing them, Naomi stepped in front of Loretta and pushed her back.

"Listen, you--"

"How about you help your friends lose or stay out of it, Naomi?" Nino crossed his arms over his chest, "Because, right now, you're just in the way."

Naomi whipped around, a death glare on her face, "How do you get off talking to me like that?"

Nino smirked but said nothing. As every second of staring at the boy's evil, but handsome, smirk passed, Naomi felt herself grow more and more annoyed.

"Don't just sit there and smirk at me."

"I'll stop when you move or compete. One or the other."

"Fine." Naomi stepped towards Nino, meeting him eye to eye (as she was taller than him by maybe1 1/2 inches), "Fine, I'll dance. And you know what, NINO?"

"What?"

"We are better than you."

a Day in our Life { chapter 3 }

2008-11-24T18:55:27Z

I swear HanDan2 is going to be the DEATH of me. It's like...Makino and Domyouji's pride is seriously ticking me off. I'm like 'UGH, JUST KISS AND MAKE UP' *dead* The drama is like...UGH i can't take it. lol. I can't stop watching, but I can't take the drama....*sob* ANYWAY, let's get to some pre-HanDan times with my story, ne? lol. And, by the way, Andrea, you'll like this chapter because two people you're petty fond of show up. =p

C h a p t e r T h r e e

It only took the rising sun to seriously alter Naomi's mood. The alarm clock beeped all of 3 times before a hand slammed the top and the owner of said hand shot upright in her hotel bed. No, she hadn't slept that night. While Loretta snored the night away, Naomi was up staring at the cieling, thinking about the week to come and all it held. Her tension level had hit max that night, and that is what kept her awake.

She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood.

"I didn't sleep." She put her hands on her hips, "I don't feel tired AT ALL. What is wrong with me? I'm excited, yeah, but---"

"Shut-up."

Naomi's mouth snapped shut and she looked down at the motionless lump that lie hidden beneath a thick, beige comforter.

"You can't possibly be awake right now..."

"I am, and you need to be too." Naomi grinned and climbed onto the bed, tugging at the comforter, "Ohayou, Loretta!"

The lump groaned and stirred only slightly. Naomi tugged more at the comforter, "Come on. We have to get up."

"Go away."

"Loretta." Naomi put her hands on her hips.

"Go AWAY."

Naomi let out a breath and leaned on top of the lump, her chin rested in her hands, "Somebody's grumpy. But if that somebody would get up and get some breakfast, then maybe they'd feel--"

"Oh FINE!"

Loretta shot up, ripping the comforter off and sending Naomi falling off the bed. She hit the floor with a resounding thud. She grimaced and pulled her legs up to her chest, holding her hands against the back of her head.

"That hurt...that really really hurt..."

"It's your own damn fault." Loretta grumbled, "Waking me up at 9."

"But the expo starts at 12." Naomi sat up, still holding the back of her head with one hand.

"We didn't have to get up until 10:30!" Loretta climbed off the bed and started towards the bathroom.

Naomi opened her mouth to protest, but Loretta dissappeared into the bathroom before she had the chance and slammed the door. Though still in pain, the girl grinned broadly and stood up from the floor.

"She's up. I'm up. And I'm so hyper I don't know what to do with myself." She found herself giggling at that last part.

Naomi made her way over to the sliding glass doors against the far wall and pulled them open, then stepped out onto the balcony. She inhaled deeply, then let out a long breath and leaned over the balcony railing, looking down at the busy Tokyo streets below her.

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

He made a mad dash towards the glass double doors of the Johnny's and Associates building, basketball under his arm and his hand outstretched so he could easily push it open.

Almost there...

"Masaki!"

Aiba came to a halt and let out a sigh, his head bent Ugh...

The boy turned on his heel and looked up at the tall, light-haired bespectacled man who was approaching him. In his hand he held a yellow piece of paper with black kanji symbols all over it. Aiba let out a breath.

"Masaki-kun, what does this say?" He pointed to one line at the top of the page.

Aiba looked at the line and squinted a little.

"Opening Ceremony rehearsals at 9 in Japan."

The manager stared at Aiba for a few minutes, a look of complete defeat on his face, "TODAY, Masaki, it says Opening Ceremony rehearsals at 9 TODAY!"

(Aiba misread the Kanji. In his hurry to go outside, he mistook the symbol for 'today' [今日] and read it as 'Japan' [日本])

Aiba jumped back a little, "Sorry, Mitsumi-sensei."

Mitsumi let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead, "I-It's fine, Masaki-kun. You can't go outside is the point. The expo is today and you have to rehearse for the Final Time performance."

Aiba let out a moan, "I've been here since 6, sensei. Can't I just get a break to play? 10 minutes, that's all I'm asking for."

"No." snapped Mitsumi, "Go ahead to the 4th training room."

Aiba let out a sigh of defeat and started towards the training rooms.

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

"Final Time?"

12 wakeful girls sat around a large round resturant table. Their attention was drawn to Rebecca who was explaining the details of the expo.

"After the Opening Ceremony, there's a big party where everyone gets together and can perform for the other companies. Sometimes, you even work with people from other companies. Most times, companies make their trainees rehearse for it, but the idea of it is to just wing it and see what happens. It's a chance for the trainees to be themselves before things start to get serious."

Excited murmurrs rose from the group of teens. But those murmurrs weren't murmurrs for long, as it took all of 30 seconds for their voices to rise into loud, excited chatter. At 10 in the morning, nobody wanted to hear that. Especially not the other diners in the resturant.

"Urusai!" (shut-up) Rebecca shouted over the group, "We're going to get kicked out!"

The girls obediantly lowered their voices.

"It sounds like fun." Loretta said, rapping her hands against the table a couple times, "Doesn't it?"

"Yeah." Naomi beamed. Her tension was still at max, "I can't wait for it. The only thing that worries me though is my voice...I can barely dance and sing at the same time. I struggle so much with control..."

Loretta nudged her a little, "It's fine.All you need is some practice and this expo will give you all the practice you need.

A few moments later, the girls put in their breakfast orders and chatted amongst themselves while they waited for the food to arrive. Like she always did at resturants (or whenever she had to wait for a long time), Naomi pulled out her notebook, pen, and a few colored pencils. Loretta smiled and scooted her chair closer to Naomi's and watched her draw what looked like a two piece dress suit.

"Quarter sleeves or long sleeves?"

"Quarter. Definetely."

Naomi nodded and drew the sleeves onto the v-neck suit top.

"Yeah, that looks really nice." Loretta tucked a lock of Naomi's raven hair behind her ear.

"Thanks." She said, "But I don't know what to do with this skirt..." She tapped her pen against the paper, "Above or below the knee..."

Loretta glanced up for a second to think and her eyes landed on the door as a tall, dark-haired woman walked in. She was gorgeous to say the least. Her dark hair was styled into big, bouncy curls and fell just below her shoulders. Her bangs fell down over her forehead and onto a pair of big, white framed sunglasses. She was sporting a white dress suit with light blue lines on it, creating a checkered pattern. The skirt fell just to her knees.

"Like that." Loretta pointed at the woman.

Naomi looked up at the woman, looking over her outfit, "Ah, that looks nice..."

It was only for a moment that Naomi focused on the outfit. When the woman removed her sunglasses and brushed her bangs out of her eyes, Naomi's jaw hit the floor. Her stomach churned. Her body stiffened. Everything came to a crashing halt. Their eyes met. For a moment, the woman just looked at her with kind eyes, but then, the kindness faded into shock.

"M-mom?"

~ A . M . N . O . S . ~

"BAKA!" a short, dark-haired boy delivered a thwack to Aiba's head.

"That HURT, Nino!"

"You keep doing it wrong!"

"That's not an excuse to hit me!"

"Guys! Guys! Come on, chill." Ikuta Toma stepped between the two, grabbing hold of Nino's hand as it was headed towards Aiba's head again, "Nino, I know you're irritable in the morning, but--"

Nino ripped his hand away from him, "Fine, sorry. Just tell him to do the dance right so we don't have to keep starting over!"

Aiba let out a sigh and leaned back against the wall. Ever since joining Johnny's, Aiba had always had a harder time getting down dance steps than a lot of the other juniors. It got him in trouble countless times with both his teachers and his partners.

"I'm trying, okay?" Aiba said softly, "It's not as easy for me as you and Matsujun and Toma."

Matsumoto Jun, otherwise known as Matsujun, was standing a short distance behind Nino. Nino just let out a sigh and turned to face him. Aiba let out yet another sigh and leaned his head against the wall. Everyone had been very irritable over the past week. Friends had turned against each other (his friends included) a countless number of times and all of it was seriously bothering him. In his mind, the expo needed to be over already. Great learning experience though it would be, the pre-drama was to great for the sensitive boy to deal with. Moreover....he was tired of being yelled at.

"The expo starts in 2 hours and we only have 1 hour to finish this since we have to get to the expo building early." Toma said and ran his fingers through his hair, "Can we be nice for a little while so we can get through this?"

"It's kinda bad when someone who's a year your junior becomes the voice of reason, doesn't Nino?" Matsujun said, shoving his hands into his pockets.

Nino let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead, "Yeah..okay. I'm sorry, Aiba. Let's get through this together." He looked up at him, a sincere smile on his face and held out his hand, "As MAIN."

Aiba smiled and ndded, taking his hand, "As MAIN."

"And we'll be the best group at the expo!"

Aiba's grin grew larger, "Hai!"

(Note: During their Jr years, Nino, Aiba, Matsujun, and Toma were in a mini-group called MAIN. Nino was also in another mini-group called BAD, but I don't know who was in it with him.)

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

"I'm taking a tour break! 3 tours back to back wiped me out, you know? I only got about 2 months in between. That's why I could never get back home to you and dad. It's not like I deserted you for another man or anything."

Naomi just sat there staring straight ahead at the wall as her mother sat beside her. Her tension had hit the floor. No. It hit the basements. No no...it went staight down to the very depths of hell. That's how far down her tension had dropped.

"Mom...4 years?" She slowly faced her, "4 years."

Kisa shrugged a little and put her sunglasses atop her head, then put an arm around her daughter's shoulder, "Gomen ne, Naomi-chan. But I'm here now, right?"

"But I'm only here for a week." Naomi said, shrugging her arm off, "For the expo."

Kisa's eyes widened a little and she grinned, "Ah, you're in the expo?!"

"Yes. I'm under a talent agency. Sapphire Stone." Naomi motioned to all the girls who's jaw's had dropped when Kisa had appeared, and who's jaw's were still dropped, "These are all of my friends."

Kisa smiled softly, maternal pride all over her face. Naomi let out a sigh, "Mom, don't start..."

"Naomi, I'm so proud of you!" Kisa tightly hugged the girl, earning smiles from onlookers, "And let me guess, when you get back to New York, you'll be signed. Right?"

"Hopefully." Naomi gave up trying to fight her and hugged her back

"Well if that's the case." Kisa pulled away from her daughter and waved her hand to get a waitor's attention, "Then Okaasan will go home with you after the expo. Okay?"

If, for that one moment, life had been a cartoon, something very large and heavy would have fallen on Naomi's head, knocking the wind out of her. That certainly what the news felt like...

"E-eh?" Naomi's eyes widened, "Why? You're on tour right?"

"My last show is here in Tokyo." The waitor walked away after taking Kisa drink order and she turned to look at Naomi, a soft, motherly smile still on her face, "Then I have the option to take leave for a while. All performers need it. What makes me an acception?"

"Well..I...don't you think you should have called Dad first or something?"

"We'll work out the details when I get home, alright." Kisa took her bright red drink (made of only God knows what

Naomi let out an exasperatted sigh and leaned her head on the table I've talked to her for all of 10 minutes and she's already wiped me out. This woman...she's insane...Mom's always been a bit of an airhead. She doesn't think things out always. She goes on emotion. It's that type of personality that'll be my downfall one day...

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

And so ends this particular chapter. ^_^ Next chapter is when the actual expo starts and Naomi meets the boys once at a time. Who will she meet first? How? And how exactly does she end up in Arashi? 2 of those 3 questions will be answered next chapter. =p

Much better response than I thought! I'm so happy. ^_^ So so so SOOOO very happy. I feel so much better about this story now. Thanks for all the comments, guys!

C h a p t e r T w o

"It's such a pretty view!" Loretta pressed her nose against the window.

Naomi glanced up from her notebook, "How can you even see anything?"

"We're not that far off the ground." She sat back in her seat and let out a satisfied breath, "This is so nice I don't want to get off this plane."

Naomi shook her head and looked back at the sketch in her notebook. A loose fitting, floor-length gown dressed a thing, faceless girl. The bottom hem of the dress was shredded, revealing her shapeless feet. Naomi tapped the corner of her mouth with her red pen. Straps or halter...Loretta peered over at the page and beamed.

"That's pretty. When'd you start drawing it?"

"About 5 minutes ago..." She mumbled and lightly sketched 2 thin straps over the girl's shoulders, "Ehh..."

"Woa--really? You got that far in 5 minutes?" Loretta eyes widened in shock, "You're not a singer. You're definetely a designer."

'The designer' shrugged and added a few curved lines to the side of dress, indicating that it should be form-fitting instead of loose-fitting.

"Would you wear this?" She questioned.

Loretta breathed in through her teeth and gave an uncertain shrug, "Hmm...maybe. Depends on the color."

"Color aside, would you wear it?"

"Yeah, I guess. I'd like it more if it was strapless, though."

"Ah!" Naomi said, rapping the paper with her pen once, "Halter! I knew it."

Loretta chuckled and watched Naomi flip the page and begin sketching again. The concentration was evident on the designer's face and she traced the inside of her top lip with her tounge as she drew. Loretta leaned back again her seat and looked over at the window, watching the clouds drift by.

"Say...Naomi?"

"Hn?" She replied, not looking up from her drawing.

"Where...where does your loyalty lie?"

Naomi looked up from her sketch and at her friend, a puzzled expression on her face, "Where'd that come from?"

Loretta shrugged, "When this expo is over, we'll be signed together, right?"

"Hopefully..."

"But...what if some other opportunity comes at you? And you're forced to choose between that opportunity and me? Which would you chose?"

Naomi's face scrunched up in thought. The expected response was probably, 'I'd pick you anyday! No doubt.' But...that's not exactly what Naomi was thinking. Her train of thought was more along the lines of , 'I'd consider both options and choose.'. She let out a breath and rapped her pen against the paper.

"This isn't really a question of loyalty. My loyalty lies with my heart and where I think I should go. If that happens to be with you, then I go with you. If it happens to be with the other opportunity, then I go with that." She nodded, "I'd consider both and do whichever was the best for me."

Loretta sighed a little and traced the arm of her chair, "But you don't think about it until you've already chosen, right?"

"No..that's not--"

"Guys, we're gonna be landing soon." Rebecca said from the seat across from them, "Buckle up and get ready. The landing is the hardest part."

Naomi nodded and shut her notebook, then fastened the safety belt and put her hands on the arm rest. Loretta did the same and watched her friend stare straight ahead, completely oblivious to her real nature of loyalty and decisions. Only Loretta knew. Only Loretta forsaw something happening in the future. Only Loretta knew that Naomi's nature would one day affect her in a major way.

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

Aiba Masaki stood in front of the basketball hoop, a basketball in his hands. There was no emotion on his face. He stood motionless. From a distance, one could easily mistake him for a statue of some kind.

"What do I do..."

He let out a breath, but remained motionless.

"I don't know what to choose..."

Cars raced past him on the Tokyo streets. People walked by, chatting incessantly. The entire world was moving around him, but he remained still. Unable to move on with everyone else.

"Why does it have to be so hard..."

His cellphone vibrated in his pocket. Slowly, he closed his eyes and pulled the phone out, then put it to his ear.

"Hai."

"Ne, Aiba-chan, do you know yet? I've given you enough time, so decide."

Aiba let out a breath and stared ahead at the basketball hoop.

"I don't know..."

"What? Do you want me to give you the options again?"

"No. I know what my choices are."

"Then decide!"

Another car zoomed past. A couple walked arm in arm by him. He opened his eyes.

"Pork."

"Thank-you. Pork Ramen it is. I'll be back in a few then. Get back to Johnny's and wait for me there."

"Okay."

He hung up his phone and slid it back into his pocket, then stepped off the court and started down the busy sidewalk. He saw, all around him, flyers advertising the upcoming expo. With every flyer he saw, his excitement grew. Of the 12 people who'd been selected to attend, Aiba was one of them. He was one of the dozens of people selected to represent Johnny's at the 1999 expo and he couldn't be more excited.

"Ah!" He stopped walking and pulled his vibrating cellphone from his pocket, "Moshimoshi?*"

"I'm back. Where are you?"

"What? Already? That was fast, Sho-kun!" Aiba broke into a run down the sidewalk.

"Are you almost here? Your food's getting cold."

"I'll be there in a couple minutes."

He hung up and shoved the phone back into his pocket.

"Hurry up, everyone, or we'll miss the bus to the hotel!"

A group of girls scurried past Aiba on the sidewalk. There were 12 of them and they were being led by an older woman. Aiba glanced at the crowd for a moment, curious, and, for the shortest of moments, his eyes landed on one dark-haired girl with a notebook in her hand. She was there for a moment, then gone with the rest of her group a moment later. Aiba focused back on the path ahead of him and he soon reached Johnny's. He threw the door open and went inside. A boy who looked to be shorter than Aiba by maybe a few centimeters was holding a white bag.

"Ah, there you are. What took so long"

Aiba bowed a couple times, "Gomen, Sho-kun."

The food was set out, thanks were said and the two began eating.

"The expo starts tomorrow." Said Sho.

Aiba nodded, "Mm."

"Johnny said that most of the other companies are coming in today."

Aiba noisily slurped up a ramen noodle and wiped his mouth. Hmm...maybe those girls were part of a company...

"These rooms are so pretty!" Loretta threw herself onto the full-sized, satin sheet covered bed.

Naomi nodded in aggreement and plopped down on the other bed, then flipped open her notebook, "The expo starts tomorrow. I'm so nervous."

"It'll be nothing." Loretta turned onto her stomach and faced Naomi, "The opening ceremony is the easiest part to get through."

Naomi let out a long breath and leaned her head against the headboard, "I hope so."

And so ends chapter 2. I hope this chapter was long enough for you. >_< Excuse any typos and comment! Comments are love <33

a Day in our Life { Prolouge & Chapter 1 }

2008-11-11T19:41:55Z

Title: a Day in our Life
Pairing: AibaxOC/ShoxOC (+ implications of Ohmiya, Juntoshi, and all those pairings we love)
Rating: PG-13
Type: Fanfiction
Summary: It all began with the 1999 Talent Recruitment Expo in Japan. Trainees met, befriended, and a certain young girl was given an opportunity to change the face of Johnny’s and the J-Pop genre: joining what would one day be one of the greatest J-Pop boy bands of all time.
Warning/Disclaimers: I will tell you this right now. THE BASIS OF THIS STORY IS A GIRL BEING IN ARASHI. Alright? That means it’s Ohno, Sakurai, Aiba, Ninomiya, Matsumoto, and the OC of this story, Naomi forming Arashi. If you don’t wanna read, then don’t. Don’t leave me rude comments. Before completely disregarding this story, read the prologue and the first few chapters as I post them so you’ll see the progression of the story. My goal is to make Naomi’s being in Arashi as natural as possible. ANYWAY, other than that, I have no warnings. Nothing to watch out for just yet. I DO NOT OWN ARASHI NOR AM I ASSOCIATED WITH JOHNNY’S IN ANY WAY. I don’t own anyone mentioned in this story except Naomi and whatever misc. characters show up.

P r o l o u g e

How it all happened…it was weird. Twisted. Clever.

“5 minutes!”

I never saw it coming. The fact that I was tricked seriously pissed me off at first, but after a while, I got over it and began to enjoy my career.

“Are the cameras ready?”

I was there from the beginning, so it wasn’t to hard for everyone to accept me.

“We’re live 5…”

But as a girl…

“4…”

And a foreigner…

“3…”

There were definitely rifs…

“2…”

It got rough over the years

“1…”

But I made it through

“Ladies and Gentlemen…”

With the help of 5 lovable idiots…

“Arashi!”

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

It didn’t come naturally to everyone. The ability to sing and dance at the same time without your voice cracking. The ability to master dance steps in half an hour or less. J-pop artist, Kisa Hidaka knew this well. It was this knowledge that she passed down to her young raven-haired daughter, Naomi, when she was a mere 11 years old. Kisa loved her daughter and her American husband dearly. For that reason, she attempted to keep the family stationed in Tokyo and not move around to much.

It was when Naomi turned 12 that Kisa went off on a tour, claiming to only be gone a few months. Kisa Hidaka never returned to Tokyo. It was 5 months after Naomi’s birthday that her father said they had to move to New York for a short while and they would return to Tokyo. The two never returned to Tokyo. They made New York their new home.

As many are well aware of, New York is a place of artists. Actors, Painters, Dancers, Singers, Directors, Designers…It’s the bohemian artists capital of the world. Naomi was one such ‘artist’. Her art of choice was performing. Singing, dancing, and all of the like. Keeping her mother’s words at heart, Naomi entered the Sparkle Spectrum Talent Agency, a girls only talent company run by former pop group, the Gemstones and named after their first single, Sparkle Spectrum. Despite the light, delicate impression of the name, Sparkle Spectrum was a tough agency where girls worked. And worked. And worked. They personified the wise words of Kisa Hidaka. Naomi trained there for years.

By 1999, Naomi was one of the top trainees at SS. And where to the #1’s go?

“The 1999 Talent Recruitment Expo is finally here, guys!” Were Rebecca’s exact words a week before the date, “And I’m supposed to take my top 12 girls with me. That’s why I’ve gathered you here today. You 12 special talented girls are going with me to Tokyo for what may be the greatest learning experience of your life.”

Her emerald eyes locked on 16 year old Naomi who had neither smile nor frown on her face.

“I’m expecting great things from all of you and this expo will help.”

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

C h a p t e r O n e

A cross country trip is not something to take lightly. Certainly not. When packing, one must be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they have everything, because there’s no going back once you hop on that plane and take off. This unfortunate truth is what made Naomi Hidaka nothing short of a wreck a week before she was due to leave for Tokyo. Every shirt she owned (which, mind you, was a lot) was folded and stacked on her bed along with every pair of jeans and dress pants she could pull from her drawers. Various toiletries and such were strewn over the pillows and to the clutter she was adding body spray and perfume.

“Vanilla perfume and…ah, no, Vanilla body spray and…yeah, right.” She tossed the light brown bottle on the bed.

16 year old Naomi was packing for a company field trip of sorts. What company would a 16 year old be a part of? Sparkle Spectrum Talent Agency. Sparkle Spectrum was a girls only talent agency stationed in New York for young kids and teenagers. Those who entered the agency get trained and learn the art of performing, singing, dancing and other aspects of the music and entertainment world. Then, once the trainees are debuted, Sparkle Spectrum would sign them to record labels.

Naomi had been part of the company for 4 years, having joined in 1994 when she was 12. Currently, she’s one of the most popular and talented girls in the agency. As such, she was one of the few who were selected to go to Tokyo for the Talent Agency Expo. This annual event brings together talent agencies from all over the world in one place. In her 4 years of being in the agency, Naomi had seen many of her friends get invited to the Expo and, shortly after return, be signed to a label. She wanted that shot. More than anything.

“Alright, Clothing, toiletries…electronics are over there.” She said and motioned to the laptop and mp3 player sitting on the floor near her dresser, “What else do I need?”

A knock came on her bedroom door, making Naomi jump.

“It’s open!” She called and moved over to her closet where her dresses were hung up.

The door opened and a brunette in a yellow sundress poked her head in. Naomi glanced back at her for a second and smiled, then turned her attention back to the closet.

“Hey, Loretta.”

“Hi.”

Loretta stepped into the room and shut the door, then plopped down on Naomi’s bed.

“How’s the packing going?” She questioned.

“Well…it’s going…” Naomi laughed and pulled down a purple dress.

“I finished an hour ago.” Loretta laid back on the bed, “I’m so excited!”

Loretta Dorell was another one of Sapphire’s top trainees. Older than Naomi by only a year, Loretta joined Sapphire in 1993 at age 12. By 1995, Loretta was asked to go to the Expo held in England and has been going to every expo ever since. Of all the trainees under Sapphire Stone, Loretta is the only one who hasn’t gone into the entertainment business after an expo. It’s not because she was incapable. It’s because she was waiting. “Waiting for my best friend, Naomi, to get invited to an expo. Then and only then will I allow myself to be signed to a label. Because then, I can be signed with my best friend. “

“I’m excited too…that doesn’t hasten my packing speed at all though.” She said and pulled out a blue dress and a red dress, “And it doesn’t take away from the nerves either.”

“Ah, it’s nothing to be nervous about.” Loretta said, waving her hand as a motion of dismissal, “These expos aren’t as big a deal as everyone makes them out to be.”

“You say that because you’ve gone 4 of them back to back. But for those of us who have never been, it’s a very big deal. This is my chance. Our chance.” Naomi threw the dresses on the bed and took a deep breath, “It’s a chance for everyone who’s going! After this, we’ll all be signed to record labels and our real careers begin. Our lives begin. We’ll be the biggest thing to hit the world since…since….some really old…popular bad that everyone still listens to!”

Loretta looked over at Naomi who was staring at the wall, a daydream like expression on her face. If she had been a cartoon, she would’ve had stars in her eyes. Loretta laughed and rolled her eyes.

“You sound like an over-excited inspirational speaker.”

Naomi’s face fell and she looked at her friend with an annoyed expression, “Damare.”

“Gomen, gomen.”

Naomi nodded, “Arigatou.” She smiled a little and put her hands on her hips, “Look at you, speaking Japanese like it’s your first language.”

“Gomen is basic Japanese. Learned that from the random animes and dramas you make me watch.” Loretta rolled onto her stomach, “I’m still a little shaky though. I don’t know if I’ll make it in Tokyo. You’re lucky to have an upper hand on it, what with your mom being Japanese.”

Naomi shrugged and sat down on the edge of the bed, “I guess.” She let out a breath, “If you ever need and interpreter while we’re there, you know who to turn to.”

Loretta smiled and playfully smacked Naomi’s arm, “You’re not just my interpreter. You’re my personal cheerleader, therapist, training partner, and my very very best friend.”

Loretta sat up right and slid to the edge of the bed, “And when we get back from Japan, we’re gonna get signed immediately. It’ll be you and me together. The best female pop duo to hit the music industry.”

Naomi nodded and pulled her friend into a tight hug, “Hai!”

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

A kind, yet stern faced man sat with his hands folded on his desk. Before him stood 12 young boys. He let out a breath and held up a red flyer with the words ‘Talent Recruitment Expo’ printed in bold, black letters.

“In one week, you 12 will be attending this Expo with me. As the best of this agency, I’m expecting you to represent us well. Understood?”

The boys nodded in unison, “Hai!”

The man nodded and put the flyer down. His eyes scanned the group for a few moments before landing on dark-eyed boy in particular.

“Satoshi.”

“Hai.”

“You’re the eldest, correct?”

“Um…of this group, I think so.”

The man nodded, “Should I ever not be around, you will be in charge.”

The boy blinked a few times, taken aback at the sudden granting of authority. He bowed slightly.

“Hai.”

“Now.” The man stood up from his desk, “Let’s decide who will perform with who on the first day of the Expo.”

~ . A . M . N . O . S . ~

EDIT:: The Agency is called Sapphire Stone and is named after the Gemstone's leader Rebecca 'Sapphire' Martin. Sorry about that. ^_^"

And so ends the Prolouge and first chapter! Comments are love. <33 Remember, nothing rude, but I will allow constructive comments (not how I said COMMENTS not CRITISISM.)

Hope you enjoyed. Ja ne ~

17 Typhoon Generation 2002-2003 Calender Wallpapers

2008-11-10T18:24:18Z

My internet was out ALL WEEKEND. >_< I couldn't post these the day I made them. I was dying this past weekend. DYING. My life ended and I was forced to occupy my time by playing the Sims on my PS2 and Computer.

So...anyway, I made textless wallpapers of Misc. sizes from scans from the Typhoon Generation Calender. Not all sizes are available for all the wallpapers because some just didn't look right. But, there should be something there for almost everyone to enjoy. ^_^ The sizes vary from 1280x1024 to 800x600.

| 1280x800 | 1024x768 | 800x600 |

| 1280x800 | 1024x768 | 800x600 |

| 1280x1024 | 1280x800 | 1024x768 | 800x600 |

Credits are the same as my previous dump. Scans came from the amazing winky_chan (go check the icon dump before this for the link).

Also, A lot of the wallpapers are resized, but if you want any other alterations (like, resized again for picture quality's sake) don't hesitate to let me know. I'll gladly do it for you. ^_^ Oh, and btw DO NOT USE THESE WALLPAPERS AS BASES FOR ANYTHING ELSE. Yeah, they've got pretty colorings and some of them are just screaming for some nice text, but you can not alter them in anyway nor will I add anything to them for you. Credit me if you use and no redistributing or anything of the like.

You know, my cousin thinks I'm crazy for always making so many graphics at one time. =p lol. I wonder, does anyone agree with her?

One Hundred Thirty Six Icons [Arashi]

2008-11-05T19:39:10Z

Title pretty much says it all, 136 icons for your viewing/snagging pleasure. Most of the icons, actually, I did yesterday believe it or not. That means I made about 80 of them yesterday during school and before I went to bed, then the rest (specifically the ones from Matsujun's birthday) I did today. Anyway, Enjoy!

[68] Arashi: Typhoon Generation 2002-2003 Calender
[23] Beautiful Days PV
[19] Pikanchi Double A-Z Photobook
[16] Matsujun's Birthday/Time 2007 Concert Shots
[10] Kiiroi Namida
[136] Total

So, if you read my Preview post, you'll notice that I added the icons from Matsujun's Birthday and got rid of the PV gifs. That's because...yeah...didn't get around to making the gifs. ^_^" So, to compensate, I used the absolutely ADORABLE shots from Matsujun's birthday last year during the Time summer concert. and 2 from Nino's performance of 'Niji'. (Btw, 'Koe' means 'voice')
