I want to thank Alliana2312, onceuponaprincess16, Xx4tuneCookieXx, Demonic Angel 7, KUKAIxAMU for reviewing chapter 10.

It was ten in the morning. And Rima was walking slowly, while wind was playing with her hair. She was lost in her thoughts, thinking about her mother, Tamara and Tom. How could that friendhip be ruined because of some man? It didn't make sense at all. But she will talk to Tamara and Shiki about this. She was infront of agency, getting ready to find out something more about whole situation. She went inside Tamaras office, but Tamara wasn't there. Shiki was.

"Hey." Shiki winked. She saw he felt a little odd.

"Hey Shiki. Is your mom here?" Rima came next to him and sat in the chair next to his "No, she is on a plane for Paris, she has a metting." Shiki smiled while he answered Rima.

"I wanted to ask her something. But nevermind." Rima smiled back to Shiki.

"Maybe I can help you?" Shiki raised his eyebrow "I wanna know more about our moms friendship."

"Well, than this is your lucky day. I talked all night about that. Let's say I was curious too." Rima girnned "Well?"

* FLASHBACK TOLD FROM SHIKIS VIEW *

"Mom, why don't you tell me more about you and Jenna?" Shiki asked as he stood next to his mom. Tamara was getting ready for her trip. She was going with Sarah to Paris. Sarah was doing her fisrt international photoshoot.

"Well, fine son." Tamara signed as she lyed on the couch "So?"

"We meet at the model show. She was competitor and I was looking around because I wanted to do some photos. My mom bought me my first camera. We meet and we started to hang out pretty fast. We were totally different. I was fiesty, always mad and cold to almost everyone. She, on the other side was kind, cute and shy. She was confident only when she was posing for camera. She would turn into doll ready to transform into whatever I wanted her to. We were best friends, the most known in school. She gave me confidence to make my own model agency, and I convinced her to be my main model." Tamara smiled as tears stained her cheeks. Shiki was just smiling as he listened to his moms story. Rima was nothing like Jenna. "Go on."

"Well, you kinda know the rest of the story. Our story wasn't big, but it is pretty strong and has alot of memories in it." Shiki hugged Tamara, who was sad because of remembering her past with Jenna.

* FLASHBACK END *

"That is it? I tought it would be some damn long story, but our moms knows how to surprise us." Shiki said as he looked to see Rimas reaction.

"I couldn't agree more. Anyway, thank you for telling me that. I gotta go now. I will go and see girls. We haven't seen eachother since Ruka, Maria and I conforted Yuuki." Rima smiled as she kissed Shiki on the cheek. Kissed. Shiki. On. The. Cheek.

Shiki was red from Rimas action. Rima looked at him and smiled when she saw what happened "Shiki are you red?" Shiki had to make some excuse now "Well, I am not used on some girls kissing me." Rima started to laugh "Sorry, my bad."

Shiki felt like a bag full of stones fell from his back. He got away. But as Rima walked away he realised that me must make a move soon or she will get away from him.

As he walked out he felt his phone vibrate. It was Aido "Hey dude, wanna come and play 'Virtual Tennis'?"

"Fine Aido. Me you and Kain?" Shiki felt Aidos smirk. Anyone who knew Aido would knew when he was smirking. "You, me, Kain and Zero."

"Hahaha, fine. See you soon idiot."

"See you dude." Shiki finished his conversation as he left the buliding.

* AT AIDOS *

"Hey Shiki, why are you so slow? You needed whole hour to come here. We played one-on-one few times?" Aido yelled as Shiki came inside his room "Sorry, I had to eat something. You and Kain aren't the best when it comes to making some food or letting us eat at all." Shiki smirked as Kain and Aido started to attack him "Hey guys, calm down." Zero said looking coldly at them.

"Oooh and you, how it is with Yuuki? I heard you two got together." Kain smirked as Shiki and Aido looked at Zero.

"We are fine. How would we be? We are together for one day. What could go wrong so fast?"

"You are right. But still, from friends to lovers, isn't it awkward?" Kain asked one more question as Aido smirked. Shiki felt it will be bad. "Shiki will know soon too, when he get his idotic mind together and tell Rima how he feels." Zero looked confused at Aido.

"Why do you turn every story to be about us. I like Rima, so what? I will tell her whenever I want to." Aido started to mumble something. "Guys, forgot about Zero?" Kain pointed at shocked Zero smirking at Shiki.

"OMG. Zero please don't tell Rima 'bout this. I will tell her soon, just don't tell her. Please." Shiki came next to Zero as guys started to laugh. "You are insane Shiki. Acting like that. It isn't normal for one man." Kain rolled his eyes at Aidos statement.

"Whatever, just Zero don't tell Rima about this."

"I won't. But you better do, because if Rima likes you, she will lose her interest soon. I am not some good friend of hers, but I know that, and as future friend of yours, I will tell you that much." Shiki smirked as Zero sent him an glare. "Fine. Thanks Zero."

"Fine dudes, let's move on to playing 'Virtual Tennis'." Aido yelled as he fell on lazy bag. "I will beat your ass Aido Watch out." Shiki smirked.

"You wish." As Aido yelled again, battle begun.

* AT RUKAS *

"How are my favourtite couples?" Rima asked as girls stopped laughing about some of Yuukis silly faces.

"Me and Aido are doing great. I never knew he was so romantic. We went on a date and he bought me 15 roses." Yuuki started to squel "That is great girl. I told you he is loyal and romantic. And to answer you Rima, Kain asked me yesterday to go with him on a weekend trip on the beggining of May. I, of course, said yes." Ruka gigled remembering that scene.

But the most important was new love relationship of Yuuki and Zero. "Well, we are great. We didn't have time for anything to go wrong. But I hope things will stay like this. I don't need better or worse." Yuuki smiled as girls squeled.

"And when will you and Shiki get together Rima?" Ruka started to tease her best friend. "It isn't funny anymore, Ruka. It really isn't." Rima was aslmost lost in her thoughts. She looked like someone druged her.

"Why? Thinking it may be true?" Maria smiled and looked at Rima. "No. We are close friends. Just don't make fun of me because I don't have a boyfriend."

"You don't feel butterflyes?" Yuuki asked "You don't get exited every time you see special someone? You don't care about some male a little more than you do care for Shiki and Zero?" Rima got totally lost in her thoughts. Yuuki said everything she didn't want to hear. She always felt wired around Shiki, she cared about his opinion. He helped her, he saved her. She even felt butterflyes. But there is no way that she has a crush on Shiki. Or is the truth different?

"The right question is if Rima has someone who she opened up to? Who she felt connected to." Maria looked at Rima as she looked all of them.

"Rima, be honest. Not with us, but with you. Do you like ANYONE?" Ruka held Rimas hand because she knew Rima didn't want to open up so easly.

"I... I may do." She looked at Ruka, kinda sadly, kinda confused. "So, it is Shiki after all?" Rima slightly nodded as girls started to squel, jet again.

"You have to tell him Rima. I bet that he has you on his radar. He would never do things that he did for you if he didn't feel some butterflyes." Yuuki smiled. "Yes Rima. When you opened up, I bet he saw the real you. And that he likes you." Maria winked.

"And the most importantly, he hangs out with you more than with me. He let you in. And Tamara did too. That isn't because of who you pretend to be, it is because of who you are." Ruka smiled feeling relived that this story isn't over.

"That doesn't mean I am going to change." Rima glared at Ruka.

"Because you still don't have enough confidence to get out of your comfort zone. If you get Shiki to tell you everything that he feels, I bet you would be ready to step up and change, if for nothing else, but to save your man. Buys in a relationship are sometimes even more popular than single people." Ruka winked as Rima glared at her once again. "Shiki doesn't like them."

"Because he likes you, Rima. I bet he fell for you the day he saw you on your photoshoot." Rima smiled as she remembered that day. It was so magical. She enjoyed doing it. Then she grew sad. As much as she tought about it, it teared her apart that that feeling was gone. Why is it gone?

Are at the end of the day, all of them right?

Is it time to open up completley?

Is it time to get free?

"Girls, I have to go to get a walk. I feel dizzy."

"We get it. You have to clear your mind. You go girl!" Girls hugged and Rima walked away.

"I know I ask too much, but Ruka, will they have a happy ending?" Yuuki asked looking at the girls.

"I am curious too. What do you think Ruka?" Maria looked at Ruka too.

"I don't know about the end, but they will have something happy in their relationship." Ruka giggled as girls started talking. About boys, duh.

* WITH RIMA *

Rima thought about it, for about million times, and everytime it looked like it was the right things to do. It was the right start.

Rima signed slowly, taking her time. After that she knocked on the door. One second, two, three, and the door opened.

"Rima, what are you doing here? It is twilight." Shiki asked looking at her.

"I, I thought about it, and I have to talk to you. You are the only one that I can talk to, actually." Rima sent Shiki a weak smile and Shiki responded doing the same "Come inside."

Rima came inside Shikis living room. It was a huge room decorated with alot of style. "Sit Rima. Do you want something to drink?" Shiki asked kindly.

"No, but thanks. Just sit here, I really need to talk, or I will change my mind." Rima signed again remembering what she wanted to say to Shiki. Shiki did what Rima said to him. "What is it that you wanted to tell me?" Shikis heartbeat started to get faster and faster, expecting the best.

"I... I am totally lost right now, Shiki." Shiki didn't expect that answer coming. And he didn't understand it. "Rima, what do you mean by that?" He knew that this convesation was the thing that he and Ruka wanted. They never gave up on opening Rima and getting her out of her confort zone.

"I don't know what I am. I have no idea. Not one bit. I never... I never wanted to be like this. To feel like this. To act like this." Rima hugged her knees as she talked. She was getting ready to open her soul completley, to let it all be said. Her dreams, her memories, everything. Her past was the only thing that Rima has said to someone before.

"I still don't get it. Tell me everything about it." Shiki started to get closer to Rima.

"When I was younger, my dad used to tell me stories about my mom. How beautiful and good she was. I remember that one talk. He told me that she has good, too good for this world, and that her beauty was used by everyone. But that didn't make her less beautiful. That made her ill. Because she never told anyone her pain. Because everyone expected to be a doll." Rima hugged her knees tigther. She started to sob when she remembered that conversation.

Shiki looked at Rima, finally being herself. She never looked more beautiful to him, or more sad. And he couldn't do anything, but hug her. He hugged her for every time she cried. He hugged her tighter than anyone before. "Rima, don't stop. Let it all out." Rima sobbed few more times than she started to speak again.

"I wanted to be like my mom. To give my dad what I took away from him. To give to a whole world what I took away from it. I always wished to be beautiful, kind, cherefull, smart, and to never give pain to anyone. To be there for everyone, to help to everyone. But insted of that, I became cold, selfish, unkind nerd who has no social life. Who is never happy and always cruel." Rima broke down, huggin' Shikis hands that were still around her, not letting her fall.

Everything was silent for a little while. Rima was crying her eyes out while Shiki hugged her even more tightly now. "Rima, who told you that you are like that? You were like that, but you changed. You are more friendly, unselfish girl on a beggining of her social life. And your beauty is enough to make everyone fall on their knees. So whatever you think of yourself, remember you are beautiful, and that everything comes with a little bit of a work. And when I say that you are beautiful, I mean that there is a beautiful person inside of you, waiting to be seen and waiting to come out." Rima looked at Shiki with her big blue eyes feeling his honesty coming out of his eyes, words, everything. She saw Shikis tenth layer, that amazed her, once again.

"Now, why don't you calm down and come on your work tomorow. And I have an idea right now. But you must calm down. If you need it to, I will hug you as much as you need." Rima hugged his arms once again.

"Thank you Shiki."

Shiki got hit by truth. They are together, as two souls getting to eachothers hearts. That was all that mattered, and everything would come after.

* AT SCHOOL *

It was 6th class and guys had history. They weren't listening, as usual. They were talking about everything that actually didn't involve history.

"Shiki Senri, chairman wants to see you." Everyone were looking at Shiki. "Shiki Senri, go to chairman, may you?" history teacher was nice, that is why everyone didn't care about his class.

Shiki came inside chairmans office just to see his mother sitting next to chairman. "Mother?" Shiki closed the door as Tamara stood up "When did you return?"

"I returned 2 hours ago. I saw the message and I came here as soon as possible. What is going on?" Chairman just looked at Shiki family, not interested at all.

"Let's take a walk. I will explain it all." Tamara nodded and turned to face chairman "Thank you, chairman."

"No problem." He didn't even look at Tamara. He was a wired man.

Tamara and Shiki were outside. "So, what do you want to talk about, Shiki?" His mother faced him with her serious face.

"Rima visited me last night. She said some pretty interesting things to me about her mom and about her feelings."

"So, what Rima said?" Shiki signed. "She said that she wanted to be like her mother, but she never feels like her and she feels lost. I really don't know how to help her."

"I get it. And I get why she acts like that. Nobody would be able to feel confident with her past. Anyway, I think I know what your plan is, Senri, but may you let me do this. Just come to work and don't do anything." The bell rang and in a few moments, tons of teens were walking out of the school.

"Mom, you know I have a bascketball practise, right?"

"Fine, Senri, I will leave you alone. Good luck, and don't do anything reckless." Tamara winked as Shiki rolled his eyes "Fine, mom. Bye."

* AT THE AGENCY *

Rima was walking inside the building when everyone started to stare at her. She felt a little awkward, but not so much, because she didn't even look at the people that didn't matter.

But when she went inside the main room, she felt different. There were tons of paparazzis and photographs and in the middle of it were Tamara and Shiki who were now looking at Rima. Tamara came fast to her "I need to talk to you."

"Yes, Tamara?" Rima smiled as Shiki came closer.

"I will need you to do me a photoshoot."

"What? Why? Someone didn't show up?" Rima asked as Shiki rolled his eyes. "No silly. I told you I will help you, and I will."

"Actually, I will, by making you my female main model." Tamara said it slowly Shiki walked away. He was too smart to know that he shouldn't stay next to Rima. His mom will calm her down.

"Why? I don't get it?"

"You wanted to be like your mom, right? She formed her perosnality mostly when she became main model. And you will understand your mom better, so you will know what you wanna do. Now you are trying something you know nothing about." Rima looked at Tamara as she winked at her. "Will you?"

Rima stayed silent for a few moments, thinking about the offer. "I will." Rima smiled as she started walking towards changing room.

"Please, over here." Tamara stood up and faced the paparazzies.

"I wanted to tell you an big announcment, as you all know. That is the news that we have a new main female model. Her name is Rima Touya, daughter of our ex-main model Jenna Touya." Rima stepped out, stooding next to Tamara.

From the crowd could be heard small rumors. Something like "Isn't she Tom Touyas daughter?" or "What is she doing here with her?" or even "Didn't Tamara and Jenna get into a fight when Jenna changed modeling agency?"

Tamara felt sick from all of the comments. Rima did too. "My name is Rima Touya. I am the daughter of Jenna and Tom Touya. Things got like this, and I am next to moms best friend, Tamara, and I will be her new main model. Any questions?" In a minute, Rima knew what to do. Everything klicked in her head. She needed this, and she also wanted this.

"Why aren't you at your dads agency?" Rima almost smirked at that question. Paparazzis felt a little scared from all of the sudden confinence that Rima got. "Simply, this agency is better." Everyone gasped at that answer "I am sorry, but I have to do a shooting right now. Exuse me." Rima gave a smile to the paparazzis and walked towards the photgrapher.

Shiki looked at the scene from behing, and he never felt so proud.

Rima finished her shooting fast. First person that she wanted to see was Shiki, of course. "Shiki?"

"Hey Rima. You did awesome job. You wil be awesome in future, I am sure." Rima smiled and shyly put her head a little lower than usuall.

"Thank you. For everything. For your support and for this. This is what I need."

"This is who you are, and who are you meant to be." Rima looked at Shikis eyes as he smiled, kindly.

"Shiki, your shooting is starting. Go." Tamara yelled at her son.

"Fine mom." Shiki winked at Rima and went to do his part of the job. Tamara walked slowly towards Rima.

"You did an awesome job there girl. I am proud of you."

"I am proud of myself too. And I have to thank you for a chance."

"It is nothing. But I can't say that for your and Shiki relationship." Tamara smirked.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Rima played little innocent girl. It reminded Tamara of Jenna.

"I see the way you guys look at eachother. You like him, don't you?" Tamara glared at Rima.

"I... I...I don't." She was soo bad liar.

"Rima, you are bad liar. Now, tell the truth. Maybe you are ashamed, but still I am his mother, and I couldn't be more pround to have you for his girlfriend. I am telling you this as a friend but mostly as a mother."

"Fine. I like him, you won. But how could I help myself? Shiki is good, funny, model and good dammit hot. Let's not lie." Tamara and Rima started to laugh as stong as they could. Rima was already red and feeling a little odd for talking like that, but it was the truth.

"Mom." Rima and Tamara looked at Shiki.

"I don't have a shooting. What were you laughing about?" Rima and Tamara looked at eachother "Nothing important."

"Fine. Rima, are we going?" Shiki smiled as he asked Rima. "Let's go." Shiki and Rima walked out as Tamara started to laugh again.

Rima and Shiki were talking about everything and nothing. As they walked slowly they came to Rimas apartment.

"So, I gotta go. I will see you at school tomorrow, right?"

"Yes. See ya." Rima started to walk away. Shiki looked around, once, twice. Then he came fast next to Rima "Rima!"

Rima turned around slowly to face Shiki. "Yes?"

"T... Thank you for a... compliment. I think it is time to return it back to you." As he said that, horemones started to work. Shiki didn't hesitate, he just did it, not wanting a second to pass. He simply kissed Rima.

Their heads started to spin. They got out of oxygen, but they didn't stop the kiss. It felt too good. Rima felt Shiki smile against her lips. But then she felt water slowly falling from the sky. The rain started.

Shiki and Rima slowly broke the kiss and looked at the sky. Then realisation hit them. Two best friends, hidden lovers just kissed.

"Shiki, I... I... I... You... What... h..."

"Rima, I... didn't want it to happen this way." Shiki tried to hold Rimas hand, she just jerked away. "Not... n... stop." She looked him in the eyes, completley scared.

"What are you trying to say?" Shiki tried to make a conversation. But it was impossible. It was too soon.

"I, gotta go. To... tomorrow." Rima just runned away. She could never open up enough to do this so soon, so easy and so unpredictable.

Rain started to fall harder, and it didn't wash the pain in Shikis eyes. He couldn't understand what went wrong. She said all of what she said, so why...? He felt like he was in the wrong path right now. The only thing he could do is walk away.

He went home sad, confused, feeling wired and with a cold.

Finally the kiss. But what actually happened in their minds you will find out next time. Next chapter will be published next Saturday. And also, next Saturday will be published first chapter of my storry 'Summer Dance', also ShiMa story. You can see the summary on my profile. Tell me how you feel about it, please.
