When did SMAP become serious business?

Hello, this is SMAP fanfiction. This isn't real. I don't claim to know SMAP or claim this is real/a translation/from true events. If you think this makes me a bad SMAP fan, than please GTFO of SMAP fandom or at least call it to my face. I have no tolerance for fans who act like saints. Please, the ones who complain are the ones who don't support and just download their stuff. Yup. I see you a mile away. There is WORST stuff written out there. Yes, my stuff is badly written but really. I could be doing worst things to SMAP... And stop saying "She has too much time on my hands". So far I've had people link me to at least a handful of forums where you are badmouthing me. Seems you have too much time on your hands with all the forums you post at and the hate you have for me. This is fanfic. SMAP fanfic at that. It shouldn't be serious business.

Summary: Nakai and Shingo are at the airport. Shingo eats, Nakai sulks and Goro has all the luck.
Notes: This fanfic was written for the livejournal. A summer fanfic sign-up livejournal for fans of Johnny's Jimusho.

"I just don't understand you, Shingo." Nakai twisted his hat to a angle that he favored and checked his watch. It was a little after two p.m and this was their second layover from the states. Shingo and Nakai would be taking a flight to the Nagoya airport and from there meet with the other's for a photoshop. The flight would be easily over ten hours and Nakai silently cursed their scheduling manager who paired him up with Shingo. Nakai wanted nothing more than to take the flight alone, eat a good meal and catch up on his sleep.

Nakai didn't have that luck, strangely all that luck went to Goro.

"W-wait up!" Shingo was running across the airport terminal. His flop-flops were slapping on thefloor and it caused alot of attention.

Nakai winced when he noticed he saw a nearby security guard stand up and raised his hand to get Shingo to slow down. Nakai wanted nothing more than for the crowd to not know he was with him, but it was highly unlikely since they were the few Japanese at the terminal.

Shingo slapped one of his many man purse's on Nakai's left shoulder and complained with a mouthful of bubblegum in mid-chew, "They threw out all my drinks, and most of my candy. How was I suppost to know you can't bring it with you on a plane?" Nakai stared hard at Shingo and Shingo blew a bubble and dropped his bags to the floor. "We have at least another hour, we should get something to eat before we get on the plane." Shingo spotted out of the corner of his eye a McDonald's and dashed off to order, leaving Nakai with at least a dozen bags to watch over.

Nakai wiped his hands and bent down to look inside Shingo's bag's. He started to thin out his bags, some bags were filled with used candy wrappers  and some with empty boxes. Shingo came back holding a tray with three large fries and a twenty piece of chicken nuggets. Nakai looked up at Shingo who was drinking his soda with four straws in his mouth. Nakai took a few of the empty boxes he had already folded flat and slapped Shingo upside the head. "JUST WHAT DO YOU NEED THESE FOR!?!?!?" Nakai slid away, leaving Shingo to balance his bags and his tray of food.

Flopping down on one of the seats closest to the boarding gate, Nakai took out a magazine he wanted to finsh reading, beside him, Shingo placed his tray of food in one seat, sat in another and then left his bags all over the floor near his feet. Nakai glared at the floor and could feel the hard stares of the people who had no seat to sit on.

Shingo oblivious and was trying to fit more straws in his mouth, he was now on number sixteen.

Shingo kept a keen gaze on Nakai and tried hard to get Nakai to look at him. Shingo wanted the old Nakai back, the one that smiled and laughed and insisted that Shingo put even more things in his mouth. Shingo leaned close and tried to poke Nakai with the end of the straws that now were hanging straight out from his mouth. Nakai ignored and Shingo poked him again, and on the third time Nakai leaped from his seat and muttered something about needing a cigarette. Shingo cried, "I thought you were going to quit!" All of his straws feel to the floor. The woman at the terminal counter was furious. Shingo tripped over his bags when he ran after Nakai.

Nakai was standing in the designated smoking area, he took long drags of his cigarette. "Damn Shingo for buying the cheap brand.."

Nakai fiddled with his lighter and recalled the night he sent Shingo now to one of the convenience stores outside their hotel and said to buy him a new packet of cigarette's and to not get the girly kinds. Shingo still came back with the girly kinds and said he almost didn't have enough. Nakai was smart enough to check the shopping bag and sure enough Shingo bought himself bubblegum, chocolate and soda pop.

Shingo came running, flip-flops off so Nakai was caught off guard when Shingo ripped the cigarette out of Nakai's mouth. "Y-you said, you were going to quit." Shingo was breathless. The other smokers nearby looked on at the pair who were now glaring at each other.

Nakai tucked his lighter in his pocket and looked at the other smokers, who all looked at Shingo's bear feet. Nakai walked out of the designated smoking area and the smokers all flicked their used cigarette's on Shingo's bear feet and followed Nakai out. They all knew the unwritten smoker's code. No one, not even your mother can rip a cigarette that is being mid-smoked out of someone's mouth. Shingo screamed, fell to the ground, knocked over a heavy ash tray and the designated area was filled with smoke and sand all over the floor.

Nakai went and grabbed a cup of coffee and contiuned with his magazine. Shingo came back with an ice cream in hand. "Look, I bought this for you." Shingo held out the black cherry ice cream cone and smiled for his leader. Nakai winced, "You know I hate dairy products." Shingo with no second thoughts swallowed the dessert whole. Nakai watched and waited for that typical Shingo-brain-freeze-moment.

It was a relief to see Shingo have the common courtesy to not scream in the terminal, he took one of his bags and dashed to the bathroom. Nakai pulled out his cellphone and saw messages from the other's. Takuya said it was a handful to have Tsuyoshi with him, and the wife and the girls. Tsuyoshi left one saying it was a handful having Takuya's wife around. And Goro left a gushing text message that the air stewardess on his plane had on a short little skirt.

Nakai slammed his cellphone shut and noticed there was a line already fully formed to enter the plane, Nakai glanced around for Shingo but there was no sign of him. Shingo's bags were all over the floor and people in line, formed the line around his bags. Nakai blushed wih embarrassment and started to pick up Shingo's stuff and dial Shingo's number at the same time. The phone kept ringing and kept getting kicked over to Shingo's voice mail. The greeting of Shingo's voice mail was a clip of Nakai rambling and laughing.

Nakai fumed, he was getting aggravated and didn't like to hear himself laughing at himself.

"Nakai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shingo was waving towards Nakai, "Bring my stuff and get over here!!!!!" The entire line followed Shingo and turned to look at Nakai was picking up the bags off the floor, the crowd shaked their heads and assumed the mess on the floor belonged to Nakai and watched Nakai struggle with the bags. Flipping some over his shoulder and holding some by wrist, Nakai dragged himself over to Shingo, "Just how did YOU get to the front of the line?" Nakai frozed as he walked up to Shingo who was in front of the line, "JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" 

Shingo gave a dazzling smile and reach for his bags.

Nakai whimpered  "W-what? Whaaaaa? Whyyyy?!"

Shingo was decked out as Shingo-Mama and blew the crowd kisses, "This is how you get first class! You need to show a little leg!" Shingo did his best to look sultry and the people at the gate ushered the pair in. The crew grabbed for their bags and handed Nakai a glass of wine as they were led inside the plane. Looking at the generous amount of space the first class seats had, Nakai finally smiled.

Nakai looked at the  air stewardess who struggled with putting their bags in the upper compartment and saw how her skirt rode up. Again, Nakai smiled. Shingo pulled out a carton of his favorite cigarette and handed them to Nakai, "For you, no more junk food on this trip, ok?"

Nakai grinned and slapped Shingo on the rear, Shingo giggled and threw himself on his seat. "Feel better now, Nakai-kun?" Shingo helped Nakai out of his jacket and even gave Nakai his own glass of wine and watched Nakai settle down in his seat smiling.

Nakai sat back in his seat and took a deep breath and then turned to look at Shingo and said, "Maybe later we can take a trip to the bathroom?"

Shingo squealed and fastened his seat and started to sing about bathroom trips with Nakai on the airplane, leaving the rest of the crowd oblivious to what Shingo was singing about in his native language.

Pairing: Goro/Takuya

We were both sweating visibly when the song came to an end. At the agency there was gym any of the talents could use when they had free time. On Friday nights it was always deserted because everyone had plans on Friday nights. Not me. And neither did Takuya.

"I like how you move in the skirt." I smile as I wipe the sweat off my forehead.

Takuya came out of the gym showers with a bright pink towel wrapped around his waist.

Takuya undid the towel and let it drop to the floor, "Really? I think I look better without it."

Pairing: Goro/Shingo

Shingo came rushing back into the house, "The package came, Goro!!" Shingo was only 12 at the time and always wore a pair of short blue shorts when he came to visit.

I grabbed the package from Shingo and ripped it open, Shingo was dashing around the kitchen table with his laughter and happy talk.

"Hey! What is it? Let me see!"

I grunted, it was a blanket my Mom had sent me, I told her the heat never worked in the dorms. Shingo grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around us.

Shingo laughed and I looked at his face, all pink and flushed.

Pairing: Goro/Tsuyoshi

It took me a while to make it back into the hotel room. I had went to three different stores to find the right piece of cake that Tsuyoshi loved.

Tsuyoshi threw my boots at me and pushed me out of the hotel room, "I want Boston Cream and nothing else!" I held my breath as the door slammed in my face.

I ran up the hotel stairs with that small little pink box, eager to feed Tsuyoshi that overpriced piece of cake.

Tsuyoshi didn't speak, just held open the door and held his mouth open waiting for that first piece.

"How do you know when you are in love?" Nakai sat beside me during sound check.

"What? How I'm supposed to know? I'm not married."

Nakai pulled out the set list and looked it over, "Because I think I'm in love with you."

I slipped off my chair and backed away, "Hardly, just because I buy you ONE hat, doesn't mean love!"

Nakai slipped down to the floor next to me, "But I wear it all the time." he said this in that sing-song voice that made me weak.

I ripped off his hat and Nakai did't flinch. Maybe this was love?

Pairing: Tsuyoshi/Takuya

"I'm going to Korea." Takuya annouced after a Smasma taping looking directly at Tsuyoshi. "I'm leaving in an hour, I'm doing the taping for the Hero movie." Takuya glanced outside to the lobby, a limo was waiting. Had an hour already passed. "I'm going alone but have an extra ticket."

"What about Shizuka-chan?" Nakai asked. Takuya ignored the question and watched Tsuyoshi as he left to the lobby.

Takuya slid into the Limo's seat. A moment passed and Takuya still held the limo door open. Goro pushed Tsuyoshi, "Will you go? He needs a 'translator'. Geez."

Tsuyoshi stumbled as grabbed his favorite jacket.

Pairing: Tsuyoshi/Nakai

Shingo always took thursday's off to wait for Tsuyoshi. Shingo made a great effort to get on Tsuyoshi's good side, with beer and snacks.

Tsuyoshi came out of the studio with a stack of books. Expecting Shingo, he tossed Shingo his books and went for the goods. Snaping the beer open, he finshed in no time.

"Take my things home, I'm busy tonight."

Shingo looked surprised, "But I thought you would spent the night with me?" Shingo blushed.

Nakai slipped outside the door, zipping up his pants.

Tsuyoshi grunted, "Not with you." Taking Nakai by the arm, they walked pass Shingo with naughty smiles.

Title: Dressed in White
Author: Vanessa A.
Fandom: SMAP / Takuya/Tsuyoshi. Slash. Pg-13/ Light R
Thoughts: Takuya bored with his wife, shows no respect towards Goro and remembers life as a teenager with Tsuyoshi.
Notes: None of this is real. I don't own SMAP, nor do I claim to. This was written in regards to their latest MS performance and with the group dressed in white.

Takuya started to strut in one direction and then stopped and turned to face his bandmate. Tsuyoshi Kusanagi was having a quick lunch of soup and soda pop. It was his favorite to combine hot and cold fluids in his meal. The pair were alone in their personal dressing room, while the taping for today was huge, they were one of the few groups to not be sharing a dressing room with other talent.

Takuya stopped with his hand on his hip and watched Tsuyoshi eat, with one hand holding his bowl to his mouth and the other holding the can of soda in mid air. "Will you slow down? Your just going to get a stomach ache?" Tsuyoshi looked up from his bowl of soup and with raised eyebrows spoke with a mouthful, "Didn't get a meal this morning."

Takuya wiped his hands on the black vest he was wearing, "Should I wear this vest or maybe a small scarf?"

"Goro's doing the scarf, he'll get mad if you copy him." Tsuyoshi said with another mouthful. "Do the vest, it makes you look taller."

"I'm tall." Takuya removed the vest and dropped it the floor and went to play with the scraft in the mirror. Tsuyoshi got up and took his dishes to the tray and container it arrived in and went to pick up the vest, "The clothes aren't our's, remember? We should remember to hang them back up." he walked faster to the rank that had many samples of white and black article of clothing.

There was a knock at the door and Goro slipped in, "H-hey, Kimura-kun, you have a phonecall up front." Goro stood and watched Takuya sway his hips in front of the large dressing mirror. "You can't wear that, I already have it on!" Goro pointed to himself and stood infront of the same mirror. Takuya contiuned to sway his hips and contiuned to do some of the hand movements from the dance routine. "I don't think I'll learn it in time, think you can call Nakai in?" Takuya spoke to the mirror, but it's reflection was ment for Tsuyoshi.

Goro pressed the issue, "You have a phonecall? It's her. She wants to know -"

Takuya raised his hand, "I'm so bored with her, you need to tell her I will call her back when I get a chance, tell her I'm in the bath."

"There are no baths here." Goro didn't take the hint, nor the tinge of anger in Takuya's voice.

"Just go." Takuya waved him away, "Give Nakai the phone, that'd keep her busy."

Goro looked at Tsuyoshi who didn't say anything and lowered his head and left the room.

"I feel sorry for the way you talk to Goro, he's really a means well and if you don't want to talk to your wife, than don't have Goro be the middleman. Just leave your cellphone on once and a while and tell her yourself."

"That see-through shirt really does suit you." Takuya looked at Tsuyoshi's reflection from the mirror. "I never once noticed just how slender you have become." Takuya brought his hand to his chin and smiled, "You really have become my biggest competition."

Takuya's smile felt like a knife to Tsuyoshi's pounding heart.

"Don't start this. We are one the same. We are SMAP, the only competition we have is with the younger talent in the agency." Tsuyoshi gave a weak laugh and ran his hand through his short cropped hair.

Takuya turned and stepped close to Tsuyoshi and with one hand, slapped it on Tsuyoshi's rear and pulled him close to where the pair were inches away. Tsuyoshi could feel Takuya's legs touches his own, he almost was stepping on his feet. "We aren't 15 anymore."

"But we could be." Takuya slipped his other hand to Tsuyoshi's hip and slowly inched it up from his waist to his chest. Takuya turned his head and mused like a schoolgirl biting her lip, "I never forget the way you make me feel." Takuya touched Tsuyoshi's chest in a heart shaped motion and smiled, "Should I lock the door?"

"For what?" Tsuyoshi asked cautiously.

Takuya bit his lip and rocked on his heels for a moment before leaning in close for a long kiss, Tsuyoshi kept his hands on his side and wondered just when Takuya would loosen the grip he had on his rear. Takuya kissed again and again in the same manner and Tsuyoshi grew bored. This typical assault on his face was nothing new. Back when the pair were young, in the back of the tour bus Takuya would practice kissing on Tsuyoshi.

In mid-kiss Tsuyoshi spoke up and Takuya pulled away frowning. "You still kiss like a kid. Hasn't your wife taught you anything worthwild?"

Takuya smirked, "Oh, it's always back to her, isn't it?"

Tsuyoshi loved taking little stabs at Takuya's current relationship with his wife. He loved this almost as much as seeing Goro and Miho getting along and being a picture perfect couple, but he wouldn't admit this to anyone.

"This is boring. And besides, we have to go, taping should start soon."

"Boring?" Takuya dropped to his knees, his right hand gripping Tsuyoshi's rear, tight and the left fumbling with his belt bucket, "Let me show you what my wife does best." Takuya tore at Tsuyoshi's pants and growled as he took a mouthful. Tsuyoshi loved having the semi-god Kimutaku himself at his most desperate and frantic.

Tsuyoshi said nothing as he noticed Goro watching from the mirror's reflection.

Title: Sense of Control
Fandom: SMAP / HET
Rating: Strong PG-13
Notes: Takeuchi Yuko and Kimura Takuya crossover! A small valentine's day fanfic for the morbid and the shameless.

Takeuchi Yuko was speechless for a moment, "You want to take me out for Valentine's Day? I t-think you have the wrong number." This made Kimura Takuya angry. It took him ages to even consider calling his former co-star, and then guilt set in about Shizuka, his wife and the news about Yuko's divorce to that scum bag Nakamura Shido AND then he had to be sly about getting her phone number from staff.

"You hung up the first time I asked, I wouldn't get a wrong number TWICE!" Takuya barked in the phone, he was standing outside his townhouse, a second home he used when he was fliming on location. He had finshed fliming Karei-naru Ichizoku but didn't bother moving out of the townhouse. He was furious with his wife, who had gone and leased out some retail space in hopes of starting up her jewelry shop again.

Yuko shook her head and said, "I think maybe you think this is Kudo-san's number?"

"What a pain!" Kimura was angry but played with his hair and gave a weak smile, as someone passed him to get to the elevator. "Just meet with me, I have things I want to tell you."

Yuko felt a sharp pain in her chest, her voice shaking, "Will you pick me up?"

Kimura snapped his fingers and knew she couldn't resist, "Maybe..." He purred and hung up.

=====================

The night before Valentine's day, Yuko felt cold all over but that morning she felt even colder and looked sorrowful. She received no other phone calls from Kimura and out of fear she didn't leave her house for the next two days. She spent them cleaning out the kitchen and washing all the blankets. She couldn't get his voice and just how upset he sounded but at the end of their conversation he sounded all charming and cute. Yuko couldn't think of any reason he would want to see her, it was easily over three years since they last worked together.

There was knocking on her window. Yuko looked up from the hallway and saw Kimura knocking on her window waving, his hair was cut short and he had on a pair of large sunglasses. Yuko went to open the door and Kimura slipped in and handed her a small pink box, it was warm to the touch and Yuko noted it was sweet bread. Yuko turned to first set it aside on her small table by the door, but in seconds Kimura snapped the door shut and held her by the waist and had his lips to her ear. Yuko let out a whimper and shoved him away, she wanted to start sobbing, not because this was wrong, but because she wasn't in control.

Kimura took off his sunglasses and gave a big grin, "I could never forget your old greeting for me!" Yuko had a hand to her face and bit her lip trying hard not to cry, she thought back during the PRIDE taping, and how she got into this mess.

=================
 Yuko loved attention, even with her being married and Takuya almost into four years of marriage, she couldn't hide the fact she loved the press's attention on her "relationship" with Takuya. She always got attention from the staff and fans. The press loved to write how she was infamous for being popular, really POPULAR with her castmates and how she left a string of them wanting more. But Yuko didn't get any of that from Takuya, he was professional and  straight edge with his co-workers and didn't want to socialize with Yuko anymore than he had to.

Two weeks into the taping, Yuko stumbled upon Takuya and his wife Shizuka in his dressing room, he had left the door slightly open and the pair was talking, Yuko listened in and then Takuya slammed his fist on the table and Shizuka started to cry, Yuko will never forget the exchange that went on.

"All you have to do is lift up your dress." Yuko looked on, in the dressing room she saw Takuya and Shizuka standing close to each other, Takuya's back was to Yuko so she couldn't see his face, but she saw Shizuka's who was crying and she held a hand to her mouth to keep herself quiet as possible.

"It's been weeks." Yuko still couldn't see Takuya but heard the all to known sound of a man unzipping his pants, "I haven't been home and I don't have any freetime coming up." Shizuka's face grew red and with one hand still covering her mouth she said, "If this is the things that make you happy..." Her hands went to his waist and Yuko backed up away from the open doorway and slammed up against the wall. She heard Takuya laugh and Shizuka crying and Yuko still didn't walk away.

"If you keep crying, I'm just going to leave."

Yuko didn't hear Shizuka say anything else.

"I'm not forcing you, right?"

It was still slient. After a few moments Shizuka threw herself on the floor and cried. Takuya zipped up his pants, "I said, If you keep crying, I'm just going to leave." Shizuka started to wail and pound the floor and Takuya went to the door and spat to his wife, "I'm taking the day off tomorrow, I want you at the townhouse." Outside the hall Takuya came face to face with Yuko, who was  so ashamed to be caught  eavesdropping, he didn't wait for her to make an excuse and pulled out a cigarette out of his pocket.

Yuko felt she had some dirt on Takuya and would use this to get him to pay attention to her.

During a break of taping that day, Yuko pulled Takuya aside and went straight to the punch, "So your not getting any from you wife?" Takuya contiuned to smoke and didn't make any eye contact with Yuko, "Going to visit her tomorrow? What if you dont' get the time off? Just do what highschool boys do..."

Takuya leaned close to Yuko and blew the smoke in her face and flicked the cigarette on the dress and walked to his dressing room. Yuko trailed him and started to shout obscenities. Knowing it would bring unwanted atttention, Takuya pulled her in his dressing room and slammed her up against the door, "You need to shut up about things you don't know."

Yuko held her ground, "I know enough. Your relationship with your wife is demented."

Takuya let her go and laughed, "Are you angry because I don't fawn over you like everyone else does?"

Yuko stood up against the wall and spat out, "I don't care about things like that."

"Sure you don't. All you women are the same. Gotta live up to what the press writes about."

Yuko came close to him, "Why not? It gets me more work."

Takuya sneered at Yuko, "Your marriage won't last if you contiune to parade yourself like this."

Yuko came close to Takuya and laughed, "Now you need to shut up about things you don't know." Now holding his waist, she pulled him down and started to nibble on his ear, "I can save you a trip from that townhouse tomorrow..."

=============

With his sunglasses off, Takuya stopped grinning and pushed Yuko down the hallway, "Remember when you wanted to save me that trip?" Yuko stood in the hallway and watched Takuya remove his shoes, 'Don't look so guilty, your divorced, right? I remember reading about it in the papers. Husband left you and you haven't had any new work lately, all washed up, right?"

Yuko threw her shoe at him, "Shut the hell up."

Takuya had in one hand that small pink box he bought with him and in the other he dragged her down the hallway by the waist, "Don't tell me you don't like the attention?" Inside her bedroom he pulled her close and she didn't really put up a fight. Takuya pushed her on her bed, the blanket was warm from just coming out of the dryer and he mused, "You were expecting this, right? All you women are the same.." Yuko cursed and scrambled to be on top, to give her some sense of control.

Rating: R / HET? (Takuya/Shizuka?)
Notes: Don't own SMAP or Shizuka Kudo. This a SMAP fanfic that deals with some dark issues. This isn't for the faint of heart at all.
Summary: Takuya snaps . Goro's in the middle of it all and Shizuka Kudo finally gets what's coming to her.

"Why don't we go outside," she whispered, "Lots of people are staring at us." Shizuka Kudo pulled her husband by the arm, the pair were in Nagano for the weekend to do some shopping. While from the stares they got inside their hotel lobby, it seems everyone, including themselves felt they were out of place. Outside the hotel, the car was waiting for them with the valet holding their car key's out to them. Shizuka took the keys and Takuya slipped the man some money for this troubles.

Inside the car, Takuya turned on the radio and searched for a cigarette."So how do you intend to explain to the press just what we're doing." Shizuka paid attention the lights and didn't say much for a minute, but reached out for Takuya's cigarette, which he handed to her with no effort. "I just do what I always do, say nothing to the press. If you want to talk to them, than talk." She blew out her smoke while she said this and then flipped the cigarette out the window, "We really have to stop this horrible habit, don't we?"

Takuya squeezed Shizuka's hand and with his other, he pulled out another cigarette.

........

"Shizuka, look this way!" a cameraman was shouting at Shizuka, who just got out of the car, she kept her head down and went to the trunk of the car and pulled out her purse. The a pair of cameramen were talking to Takuya, asking him questions about his girls, but Takuya kept on smoking and just wave a flirty wink and smile. Shizuka wore her heels and slipped; She caught herself, thanks to the car but her purse flew out of her hands and some item spilled out on the pavement.

Takuya didn't seem to notice, but was caught off guard by a cameraman who was recalling events of the Kimura family in Hawaii and how Shizuka wore this gold bathingsuit and how she got all sunburned in the face, Takuya laughed but then noticed his wife on the floor, he dropped his smoke and went to help her. The cameramen were snapping pictures of the pair on the pavement. Shizuka was flushed and was stuffing back items in her purse, she jumped up and pulled Takuya with her and the pair went dashing into the store. The cameraman shouted to the pair, "Just why does your wife have a picture of ...." Takuya turned around to face the cameraman with a photo in his hand, he was waving it and Takuya couldn't get a clear look. Shizuka must have heard, because she skipped a step and almost slipped again, she cursed her heels under her breath and slammed the door shut.

......

"He was talking about some photo."

Shizuka covered her face with her hands, "I told you, it's nothing. Probably a picture of my parents."  The pair were in a small cafe in the shopping center, Takuya had by his sides at least five shopping bags filled with items for himself. Usually Shizuka was the one picking items left and right for herself and the girls, but Takuya noticed she seemed subdued when they got there and had no interest in the sales. Everything in the bags was his and he made a sidenote, to go to a toystore and pick up something for the girls before they got home.

"So would you want to catch a movie tonight? We haven't done that in a while."

Shizuka glanced around the cafe and watched the waitress on the phone, she saw the woman saying words a mile and minute but it was all hushed, Shizuka assumed she was calling a friend who might have been a fan of Takuya. There was the cook who stood on the sidelines watch the pair who had finshed their meal. Shizuka contiuned to glance around and noticed someone taking an order to go and frozed. Shizuka was almost caught off guard and she straighed up and ran a hand through her hair, Takuya noticed a change in her and turned around to look at how she was looking at.

"G-Goro-chan, over here." Takuya waved over his fellow bandmate and looked slighty embarrassed. Goro wasn't wearing his usually fancy garb and infact hadn't had his hair styled at all, it was all loose and curly. Takuya stood and grabbed a handful of Goro's hair and pointed to Goro and Shizuka, "Look, he didn't do his hair. We totally caught him off guard." Goro pulled away and smiled at the two, "I wanted to try something new." He said with pride, "Maybe I should leave it the way it it, someone out there would like it." Takuya sat back down and motion for Goro to sit in the empty chair next to Shizuka and laughed, "Not even your Mom likes your curly hair, Goro-chan!" Goro winced and while sitting next to Shizuka, she patted him on the shoulder, "I think it's rather nice and cute. I always thought men should have curly hair, not women." Shizuka pulled a curl away from Goro's eyes and something inside Takuya snapped.

Goro brought a hand to the back of his head and laughed a weak laugh and pulled away, "Kudo-san....." Goro still addressed Shizuka as if they were young and back when they knew each other only from being in the same circle of management. Shizuka lightly shook her head, "Goro-chan, your always so kind." Takuya looked at the pair and barked, "It isn't Kudo-san, remember? She's married to me." Takuya pointed to the front desk, "I think your order's ready?" Goro stood up and walked away with his head down. Shizuka looked at Takuya, "What was that about? Why are you always so harsh with you, you should treat him the same as you do the other's." Takuya snorted and watched Goro pay, expecting Goro to leave, he saw Goro turn around and waved goodbye. Takuya nodded.

"Goro-chan!" Shizuka called from across the cafe, "How about going to a movie with us tonight!"

......

At the movies, Shizuka sat in the middle and Takuya fumed. "I still think Goro should sit next to me." Takuya sat foward and looked at Goro who was already eatting the popcorn. Shizuka pulled off her jacket and handed it to Takuya, "Will you stop? It's bizarre to have two men sitting together and leave the woman sitting by herself." Goro still ate his popcorn and Takuya slapped Shizuka's jacket on the empty seat next to him, "Well then would you tell him to share the popcorn? It'd be all gone before the movie starts." Takuya folded his arms around his chest and watched out of the corner of his eye as Shizuka tried to feed him a piece of Popcorn, Takuya nodded his head, "Don't want any." Shizuka rolled his eyes and then turned and fed Goro the same piece of popcorn. Takuya shut his eyes and stopped caring about the movie.

Midway through the flim, Shizuka squeezed Takuya's hand, it was all warm and slick from the popcorn butter.

After the flim, Takuya went ahead to the car and watched Shizuka give Goro her cellphone to call a taxi. Out of slight and inside his car, Takuya fumed and played with the radio buttons and searched for something to listen to, he dropped his wallet and went to pick it up from the floor, the car was small and he hit the window wipers switch with his arm and saw the wipers running at fold speed against his windshield, but he noticed a photo being pulled back and forth from the windshield and opened the car door and snatched it from the wipers. He looked at the photo and Takuya felt something. He felt tears.

.........

Takuya was startled by the knock on the window, it was Shizuka and Goro, Shizuka was smiling and Goro was red in the face. Takuya flipped the switch to unlock the doors and Shizuka quickly sat in the car, "You have my jacket, it's freezing!" Goro got in and slammed the door shut, "Think you can drop me off at my house?" Takuya said nothing and started the car and pulled out of the theater parking lot with ease. Shizuka gave Goro a thumbs up, thinking nothing was wrong.

Goro's home was totally out of the way and took at extra 15 minute trip uphill. Goro leaved in a small but swanky apartment in a famous area of Nagano. Just down the street his neighbors were all famous talent, the most famous was the summer home of Namie Amuro, whom Goro bragged that one summer she was locked out of her house and came to his to ask to use his phone. Goro got out of the car and waved goodbye to the pair, he went running up his stairs and waved again to the pair who still sat in the car, Shizuka looked and gave a warm smile and waved goodbye and Goro went inside and turned out his porch light. Takuya and Shizuka were in the car and Shizuka said it was getting late that if he was tired she could drive home.

Without words, Takuya slapped Shizuka in the face, it caught her off guard and she banged herself again the passenger window, she held her face and looked at him shocked, her eyes wide. She had no words and then he slapped her again.

"Shizuka, Shizuka, Shizuka, Shizuka..." Takuya wailed and cried.

Shizuka held her face with one hand and with the other she tried to open her door but it was locked, she flipped the lock switch and Takuya heard the click and grabbed a hold of her shoulders and pulled her close to him, "And just where are you going? He can't help you! He's the reason this is happening."

Shizuka grew still and Takuya shaked her with ease, she looked like a dolll her with her head swinging foward and back, her hair loose and wild, Takuya grabbed her by the neck and wailed, "How long as this been going on? I let it go once, but again?" Takuya cried and Shizuka felt her tears running across her face, she looked puzzled. Takuya saw that look and saw her eyebrows doing her trademark worried look, "Don't tell me you FEEL guilty." He slapped her again, and Shizuka pulled the brake off and the car slid down and smashed into Goro's park car. Hearing the noise, Goro switched on the porch light and came out. Takuya went to start the car and leave the scene, but Shizuka wrestled the keys out of his hand and threw them in the back seat, Goro saw the pair and flung the door open and pulled Shizuka out. While pulling her out, her legs were wild, with her heels on she kicked Takuya as many times as she could. Goro helped stand her up and looked at her and then at Takuya who was still sitting the car, his arm bleeding from her heels.

"Call the police." Shizuka said out of breath, her face now dark red, the bruises were starting to appear.

Goro was at lost of what to do, he held Shizuka and then pulled her behind him and told her to just go in the house and wait for him. Shizuka agreed and ran up the steps, one of her heels her broken.

............

"Hitting your wife isn't a joke." Goro shouted at Takuya who finally got out of the car. Takuya stood on the driver's side and rested his arms on the car roof. He stared at Goro with such intensity that it almost hurt, Takuya spat out, "Sleeping with my wife isn't a joke!" Goro took the remark with almost no shame, "Is that what this is about?" Takuya wanted to laugh, but if he laughed he knew he would start crying and he would be damned if Goro saw him crying. "I'm not talking about the first, you stupid bastard! I'm talking about now!"  Goro froze and didn't say anything, he almost wished Shizuka did call the cops, he wished the cops were here and how they would just haul Takuya any for spouse abuse.

Goro started to cry.

Takuya saw Goro cry, and marched over to him and shoved him against the car, "Don't you cry, you bastard, don't you dare cry! I should be the one crying!" Goro hid his face with his hands and sobbed, they were caught. Takuya pulled out the photo and pulled Goro's arms apart and put it in front of his face, "You stupid fuck, I saw it this morning, she slipped and these items came out of her purse, you know the cameramen are good to us because we give them what they want. I guess they thought they were doing me a favor." Goro looked over the photo, the photo was a picture of the pavement, Shizuka was the on the floor, he could see her purse on the floor and the items on the pavement, put him to shame, it was photo's at least four, of Shizuka and Goro, one of them in the car, another clearly of them topless, and besides the photo's, even more shame, condom's. Everyone knew Takuya didn't use them, otherwise he wouldn't have married, it was a joke that everyone was in on and for her to carry condom's ment she was intimate with someone else. It was her idea really to take the topless photo's, on the weekdays when Takuya was doing his filming the pair would sneak off to her parents home and would carry on their secret relationship. It went on for six months and she had been the one to start it, but Goro was the one to accept the temptation. He never thought she would be so careless to carry these things with her.

"How long?" Takuya spat out, he held Goro's shoulder and stared.

"I don't know. Six months? I didn't mean too..." Goro was cut off by Takuya who punched him in the gut.

"I thought you would have stopped the first time?" Takuya watched Goro choke back his pain. Long before Takuya really got to know Shizuka, while he was knee deep into his relationship with Kaorin, Goro was single and met Shizuka during a radio interview, he knew her from the same circles but this time he really got to know her and who she really was behind the idol mask. He loved her positive outlook and how hardworking she was and wanted to date her but knew she was out of his league, so he was shocked when she called him up and asked him to visit her at her parents home, for three months the pair dated, it was totally in secret but they almost spend either every day with each other, and if they couldn't get together because of their work schedule, they would talk on the phone for hours. Two weeks in, Goro slept with Shizuka and bragged about it to the other SMAP members who were just floored at such a woman would show any interest in Goro, Takuya then slapped Goro and said he shouldn't sleep with her because if she were to get pregnant, SMAP would be all over and Goro agreed to not do it again. It sounds all so silly, but Goro really looked up to Takuya and wanted nothing more than to please him, so fast foward two years's later and to find out Takuya and Shizuka were going to have a shot gun wedding? Needless to say, from that day on, it took some of the loyalty that Goro had for Takuya away.

Takuya and Goro stood close to each other, still up against the car. Goro saw Shizuka watching from the window.

"I can leave her. We can walk away from all this."

"Y-you can't.. What about the girls?" Goro froze, he never thought in a million years that Takuya would choose him over Shizuka, well not really him, but SMAP and his career over his wife.

"She didn't call the police, did she?" Takuya gave a smile. Goro contiuned to look at Shizuka, "Goro, look this way, look at me." Takuya barked, "Let's think abou this." Goro looked at Takuya and the pair were quiet for a moment.

"If she calls the police and says you hit her, it'd be all over the news, and the courts wouldn't give the girls to you, it'd all go to her." Goro whispered, ".. Why did you hit her? I can see it on her face."

Takuya laughed, "I should have controlled myself, but just seeing that look on her face, it's when I finally she realized she's been playing us all."

It was slient and Takuya finally spoke, "I wish she would just fade away."

Goro was shocked, " We can't use very well get rid of her?"

Takuya went to the truck of his car and pulled out a baseball bat that was left from his daughter's pratice, "We have been together for almost over 20 year's. We lose it all because of one woman."

Goro felt faint, but knew he was going to be loyal to Takuya to the end, and if this was his choice, he would go along with it, "I understand, I'm with you."

"I trust you." Takuya smiled, his smile was large and wide and he looked alive again.

"I'll go in first." Goro rushed in the stairs inside his house, seeing the baseball bat, Shizuka pulled away from the window and fumbled for a night and searched for a phone that was only kept upstairs.

Author Notes: Holy hell. What a way to start off 2007. I don't own SMAP or Shizuka Kudo. This is easily one of the darkness things I have ever written. While I love Shizuka and Takuya together, I can't just seem to write a nice fluffy romantic piece of the pair! I just can't! I believe their marriage isn't all perfect and it takes all kinds of work to MAKE it work, but I don't believe that any of what I've written would occur. I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. With love and regards to all my smappies! - Vanessa

Title: tsu and kuu
Author: Vanessa A.
Rating: HET?
Pairing:  Tsuyoshi Kusanagi/Koda Kumi
Notes: Never happen, it SHOULD have happen, but as far as I know it'd didn't. This is all made up! Don't own SMAP or Miss Koda.  I'm open to any and all questions or comments. Regards and thanks for taking the time to read! (This is no where near done. It will be added on..)

Story: Shingo has the luck of getting Koda Kumi to guestspot on his solo song and while she comes to discuss the song and concept, she seems to taken back by Tsuyoshi's work ethics and finds a similar soul within the group of SMAP.

'It must be done with all your love and all your heart." Takuya said over a book his reading to Shingo who was sitting around with a notebook.

"Love? Heart? Geez Takuya, it's just my solo song." Shingo looked away bored and considered ripping out the few pages he did write out on his faded orange notebook. "Besides, it's not like I'm going to write it, I just gotta come up with the concept and take it to the higher up's and they look it over and it goes from there."

Takuya frowned and in walked in Tsuyoshi Kusanagi who looked thrilled, "The higher up's agreed to a remake this year for me!" He wrote a yellow shirt and a pair of simple blue jeans, he looked over at Takuya and seemed to read his mind and put up his hand, "I know what your thinking, taking the easy way out! But we're putting a whole new spin on the remake, something fresh."

"Does it have any korean?" Takuya asked.

"Um.. No, not really." Tsuyoshi scanned his lyrics seat.

"Good." and Takuya left the studio for the evening.

===============

Tsuyoshi had spent the last hour with Shingo throwing out ideas for his solo. Tsuyoshi fancied the idea of teaming up with Shingo again, like they did back in the MIJ tour, but Shingo teased him and said it was just a easy way for Tsuyoshi to get more korean on the record. Needless to say, Shingo turned the idea down flat. Tsuyoshi left the room and headed down to the first floor to the vending machine to buy a pair of drinks. Back upstairs Shingo got a phone call from their manager.Their manager was a tough lady who fought for her boys and held them with high standards. She was tight with the planning of the album and wanted the solo songs done by this weekend. She called Shingo to tell him Nakai had contacted an upcoming female talent to duet on his solo song and that he would meet Nakai in the morning to accompany him to the talent's agency. Shingo winced, he wanted to finsh the song details and spend the weekend with his lady friend.

Tsuyoshi came back in the room with a couple of drinks, he handed one can to Shingo and asked who had called. Shingo explained that Nakai was going to be dueting with a female this year and Tsuyoshi couldn't hide his surprise. "No crossdressing this year? Think he can handle being on the same stage with a female singer?" Tsuyoshi asked an empty question and the pair silently thought of Nakai struggling to keep a straight face on stage. "Well that settles it!" Tsuyoshi slammed his soft drink down on the table, "You should have a female singer as well?"

Shingo looked bored, "And just who do you think I should get?"

Tsuyoshi looked back at Shingo with dancing eyes, "I don't know, how about Koda Kumi?"

===============

In the morning Shingo went to meet Nakai at recording studio, from there the pair was to take a taxi to the talent's agency and from there, Nakai would network and basically work it to get the talent to agree. Only issue was that Nakai was over an hour late and Shingo still wanted to make that weekend trip to his girlfriends. Shingo pulled out his cellphone and called Nakai but he had his cellphone turned off and it only went straight to his voice message which was a recording Nakai did of a giants game he saw on TV. Nakai was playing with the audio recording feature on his phone and recorded his greeting to a giants tv sports voice-over. Shingo looked down to this feet, this was going to be a long day.

Walking around the building and waving to the weekend staff, Shingo sliently cursed Nakai and how he held up his plans.

"Hey! HEY! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!" Nakai was waving Shingo to the front door, he was holding some shopping bags and was sporting this bright red baseball cap. "Shingo, what are you doing here? I thought we were going to meet downtown?"

Shingo marched up to Nakai and wanted to slap him, "Downtown? I was told her!"

Nakai handed Shingo the shopping bags to hold and smiled and pulled out his cellphone, "Well, when I was downtown, I didn't see you and went ahead with my meeting and got her higher up's to agree! Isn't that awesome, me singing with a lady!" Nakai looked up and just glowed, without letting Shingo speak he turned to Shingo, but not looking at him said, "Do you mind taking my bags back to my place? You have a key right?" Nakai was busy with his cellphone and dialing some numbers, "We and her are going to meet up! Might make a weekend out of it!" Nakai marched out the door, laughing into the phone. Shingo looked like he wanted to die.

"B-but your place is 30 minutes out of the way..." Shingo looked to the floor and dragged the shopping bags out the door and hailed a cab.

==============

It was late saturday and Shingo was over at Tsuyoshi's small flat. Tsuyoshi had made the pair dinner, one of his favorite korean dishes and the two spoke of the solo songs.

"I'm going to be wearing this marching outfit, kinda like you would if you were in a band!" Tsuyoshi spoke with a mouthfull.

"Is it going to be black? Like a black parade?" Shingo asked.

Tsuyoshi waved his hand and shot him down, "Black parade? This is a happy song! I want it to be bright, with lots of red and maybe some lights!"

"Lights?" Shingo choked.

"Yeah,  maybe get some lights to light up on the actual outfit! Kinda like a christmas tree!" Tsuyoshi smiled.

Shingo drank his tea and reconsider spending the night.

After dinner and cleaning up, Tsuyoshi bought up Koda Kumi again. "I think it would be cool to have a female talent. I know Goro's going to have some female backing vocals."

"Yeah, but why her? She isn't known for her singing." Shingo unzipped his overnight bag and pulled out his night clothes.

"I think she's a good choice, she's really popular and she'll bring in a whole new audience." Tsuyoshi went to turn on the TV. On the TV was a Koda Kumi PV playing, she was in a bar and playing with one of the bottles. Tsuyoshi blushed.

"I think you got other things on your mind..." Shingo looked and swore he saw Tsuyoshi's face grow red.

"Just go to sleep, we'll talk in the morning." Tsuyoshi threw Shingo the remote and left to his bedroom.

==============

In the morning, Shingo woke up first and cleaned up the living room and then sat back on the sofa to watch some more TV. Dozens of commericals passed with his fellow bandmate hawking drinks, camera's and phones. "Jesus, sometimes enough is ENOUGH!" Shingo winced as he saw his bandmates long hair on almost every channel and not getting anything any different, he turned it off and went to make some breakfast. He made some eggs and burned some toast and spilled the coffee all over the kitchen floor. "Great.." Shingo bent down with his napkin to pick up the mess. In the living room, Tsuyoshi went to turn on the TV and flipped it to the news channel. The news bit was discussing SMAP's latest album and how Koda Kumi would be making a guest apperance.

Both Tsuyoshi and Shingo stopped with what they were doing. "What the hell..." Tsuyoshi trained off, "I swear, I think this place is bugged."

Shingo nodded and said to no one really, "I guess we better get her on board."

That afternoon, the pair threw back more ideas and informed the agency to get incontact with her people to set up a meeting.

==============

It was a week later and Shingo was nervous, "I think you should come with me!" He pleaded with Tsuyoshi to come with him to the meeting of her people.

"I'm already here, aren't I?" Tsuyoshi looked bored, meeting with another's talent's agency was left to the management crew, but they had insisted that Shingo come personally.

Shingo was fumbling with his cellphone and his backpack and his notebook all at once and out dropped a few loose papers, Shingo was busy trying to turn off his phone, he didn't notice his papers flying out the front door, due to a light breeze and Tsuyoshi rushed to pick them up, he bent down to pick them up and noticed a pair of large black boots stepping on one of the papers, Tsuyoshi mused, "Just who the hell wears steel toe boots these days?" He looked up and saw Koda Kumi herself looking down at him, he froze and forgot all about the papers.

Koda Kumi picked up the papers and went to hand them to Tsuyoshi who just stared, he was totally caught off guard and glad he went with Shingo to the meeting; He turned to look at Shingo who was still busy with his cellphone.

"Katori-san? Is that you?" He went to hand Shingo the papers, Shingo was just as shocked and mumbled something about his cellphone not working, Koda Kumi smiled and said something to Shingo about getting better hired help. Shingo looked back at Tsuyoshi and laughed, "Good help is so hard to find these days!" and with that, the pair went inside to, leaving Tsuyoshi to follow.

Inside the elevator the trio were quiet and it was awkward. Koda Kumi was looking back at Tsuyoshi and Shingo and watched how the pair kept their eyes down on her black boots.

"I think you wear a bigger size than me." Tsuyoshi said

Koda Kumi frowned, "I wear them to kick men like you back in your place." She went and did a fake kick and glared at Tsuyoshi, "Really Shingo, your hired help sucks."

Shingo laughed and the elevator doors flung open.

===============

Serving tea to Koda and Shingo, Tsuyoshi fumed, he wasn't hired help and it pissed off that Shingo went along with her joke. Was it a joke? Wasn't she aware that he was a part of SMAP? Tsuyoshi watched the pair sitting at the main table and saw Koda Kumi look up from time to and time and point to him and ask Shingo questions. Tsuyoshi would watch Shingo talk back to her with a laugh and then the pair would go back to writing. After a while, Shingo's phone rang and Shingo looked at the caller ID and excused himself to leave the room. With only Kumi and Tsuyoshi in the room, the pair looked at everything in the room but each other.

After five minutes and realizing Shingo wasn't going to be back anytime soon, Koda Kumi went and greeted Tsuyoshi, "Your tea's all flat and not very sweet." She poured her tea into the sink and went through the cupboard to search for more sugar. Tsuyoshi watched Kumi looking but didn't want to tell her the sugar was under the sink in a small blue box. Kumi barked for Tsuyoshi to bring her a chair so she can look through the cupboard's upper shelves and Tsuyoshi pulled her a chair. She climbed up and searched, it was then Tsuyoshi noticed just how little of a dress she was wearing.

He stared and enjoyed the show.

The TV was running on the music channel and there was a countdown of the latest hits and it finally hit the number one spot and it was SMAP's latest single 'Arigatou' and Tsuyoshi looked over his shoulder to look and Kumi came down from the chair and watched and kinda looked back at the TV to Tsuyoshi and back again. The video was played and nothing much was said.

Shingo slammed open the door and rushed in, "Listen, I gotta cut this meeting short, I can get back to you in the morning, right, Kuu?" Shingo didn't wait for an answer and was out the door, leaving Tsuyoshi and Kumi in the room.

"Y-your one of them?" Koda Kumi pointed at Tsuyoshi and back at the TV.

"Do you always talk to people like that?" Tsuyoshi smirked.

"Your tea really sucked." Koda Kumi laughed and smiled, she held out her hand, "I thought you were some korean help. I mean you look like a halfer. I had some hired help break into my home while I was touring recently and, so I'm kinda resentful at the moment." Tsuyoshi took her shaked it and grinned, "Don't worry, I get it all the time, I'm not as flashy as Kimura, I'm rather easy to overlook."

Koda Kumi punched his shoulder, "Oh no, now that I've got a good look at you, I'm liking what I see."

Tsuyoshi fell slient and didn't know what to say.

"Now, how about I take you out for some real tea?" Koda Kumi pulled out her phone and called for her driver to pick them up.

Before either of us knew what had happen. Shizuka was pregnant and off getting married to Takuya. I remember first meeting her and thinking she was all kinds of Amazing. I had begged and pleded to get her on the show.

When she arrived, she arrived alone. No entourage at all! I was floored. She was smoking a cigarette and cooly asked if there was a place for her to change. I stumbled a bit as I rushed down the hallway looking for her room.

When I found the right door, she blushed. Takuya came out shirtless and with a towel on his head. He didn't bother to look at her but gave me a bored look. "Another quickie?" he asked without waiting for an answer.

I turned white and looked at Shizuka. She smiled with a wink and handled me her used cigarette. "Get me some tea, would you?" She shut the door and I was left with her cigarette which started to burn my fingers.

"She's a smug motherfucker."

I turned to face Takuya. His hair dry and dressed for the show, he had a smile on his face. "Stay away from her.. I hear she's out for cash." I was dumbfounded and concern. Ever since Takuya's last girlfriend dropped him, he became jaded and almost hostile towards most women in the business.

"I didn't know you were one for reading those tabloids."

"Don't tell me, you've gone all soft on her!" Takuya said slamming his hand on the counter, "And your making tea for her!?! You don't even make tea for me."

There was a knock and Shizuka stood wearing a summer dress. She was leaning against the doorway with a wide smile. She went straight to Takuya and kissed him quickly on the cheek. "Unbelievable.. And here I thought you were the nice one."

Takuya scowled and looked away.

We later did the performance and did some press and photos. SMAP and Shizuka was going to be on a cover of one of the TV guides we usually did. I never kept them, but I mangaed to get to the store and buy this particular issue.

I later threw it out when Shizuka and Takuya announced their marriage.

Title: In my Dressing room.
Pairing: SMAP, Inagaki Goro/Kimura Takuya
Rating: PG - slight language

We both tried to not talk about the two girls we met after the concert. But every once and a while when the radio paused to change songs; we'd both look at each other. I noticed a million words in his eyes and fought hard to not cry.

It was really difficult to sleep that night.

What had happen is that after the concert, Takuya usually calls me over and we sit really close and we just talk. I know. He's married, got the two kids under his belt and Shizuka is totally larger than life but Takuya never wants to let go of what he's had.

He's had me. And I long and wait for those moments after the concert when it's just us and we're sitting so close and then there are times when he runs his hand through my hair and makes fun of my poor attempt at growing some facial hair. I don't really gotta worry about what Nakai or the other's think. They all know, they're all aware and maybe don't accept it but they do know better than to not tell Shizuka.

But after that one show, Takuya had his hand on my inner thigh and it felt nice. It's been months since we've gone at it. But before I know it he's got the button of my pants undone and I hold my breath.

But these two girls stumble in my dressing room. They kinda stop and take it all in. Takuya leaps off me and I sit and fumble with my zipper. I think he's shouting at them and these girls just laugh and take their time leaving.

My phone rings but I don't answer it. Takuya just glares at the floor and gets his car keys. Guess he's going to drop me off at the hotel and maybe see Shizuka. Whenever he does something wrong he makes it a point to see her right away, the guilt just drives him mad. Like as if seeing her and taking her out will somehow make it all better. I laugh at the press who always write about how he keeps the marriage on fire with their late night dinner dates or when they sneak in a movie or play.

Anyway, at the hotel I wake up and my phone rings, I check the caller ID and it's him. I answer and he tell me those two girls at the end of the concert weren't fans but Shizuka's friends. He tells me it's over and hangs up.

I dress quickly trying hard not to cry.
