Her Quartet Night
Chapter 5: Aurora
At a bar at 10pm, Quartet Night and Nami sat together at the table having a couple drinks. Reiji and Ranmaru were already buzzed and messing around the place. Some girls were going head over heels towards Reiji's sweet words and Ranmaru was entertaining woman with how he plays with his guitar. Ai and Camus still stayed near Nami and just sat there. Camus was obviously being a gentlemen to ladies who kept looking at him and Ai just mind his own business and suddenly laid his head on Nami's shoulder. Of course, Ai didn't drink anything, he just stayed near Nami's side no matter how much it annoyed Nami to suddenly be his baby sitter. Nami wasn't drunk yet because she knew how to hold down her alcohol compared to Reiji and Ranmaru. They came there after Ai's concert and thought having a little bit of night out fun would work for the group. Nami wanted to bring Echo and Aya but they couldn't make it. They couldn't bring STARISH with them because some of them were underage, but they were able to bring Ai with them because Ai practically told off a guy. Nami started to think a little bit, though. Quartet Night is their senpai's so why aren't they focusing on making sure the kouhai's were doing there job. Nami thought about Nanami for a second and hoped that girl was taking care of everything on her own. She noticed how hard working Nanami is but Nami shrugged it off and knew she had her own stuf to work on. She watched as Reiji started disco dance on the floor randomly and she decided to get up and go grab him. He was causing a scene.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Camus started to say and Nami looked back at him. She put her hand on her hip and put strands of her hair back behind her ear.
"Who says you can control your composer on what she does?
"Hmph."
Camus looked away from her and Nami just smiled evily, knowing she had the upper hand in controlling the situation. She walked over to the drunk Reiji and he just raised his eyebrows at her.
"What does the lovely lady want?" He slurred his words and Nami started to fill a bit disgusted by it and wants him to go home. She walked behind him and started to push him forward and there were some girls that were getting a little upset.
"Hey! Don't take him away! We were just having a really good time." One girl said.
"This girl is stealing our man!" Another girl who wore a really short skirt was almost yelling at Nami's ear. Nami covered her ear and then started to scowl at the fact these idiots were in the way. She literally grabbed Reiji by the ear,pinching him hard and then turns and face the girls.
"HOW ABOUT YOU ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO DANCE WITH IDIOTS WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO TOUCH YOUR FILTHY ASS!" Nami yelled out and the girls literally put their hands up and backed off. Nami looked like she was in a really bad mood and when Camus saw that something in him sparked a bit. Ranmaru woke up to his senses and noticed how loud Nami could be. Ai gave a shrug and smiled because he already knew how harsh Nami was. Reiji who was still in his stupid state couldn't notice anything and almost fell asleep. Nami held Reiji in one arm and noticed his head resting on her shoulder. They all rode in Nami's car and Nami dropped off the guys one by one. Reiji was the last to drop off because he was knocked out. While she drove to his place, she looked to her side and noticed his sleeping face. She started to wonder how she was going to work on his song. His sleeping expression looked adorable and she looked at his lips suddenly. Nami looked straight ahead and kept looking at where she was driving and she noticed in her rear view mirror she was blushing hard. She remember when Echo and Aya wondered if she had an idea who she would be crushing on with or maybe have some certain feelings for one of the Quartet Night guys but she shooked it off so she wouldn't think about it. It was a stupid idea to even think about it at this point especially in the music industry you can't fall for each other and she hoped nothing wasn't going to head to that. She remember the first time Reiji had held her a bit close and when Ai had pinned her to the wall saying sweet nothings. She was blushing again and she finally reached up to Reiji's house and she parked her car. She looked around if anyone was around the place and she slowly picked Reiji up from the passenger seat. He was too heavy to carry around but she had to use as much strength to bring him inside the house.
"Hey, weirdo. Where's your keys?"
Reiji was still sleeping and Nami just sighed. Nami looked through his jacket pocket and then toward his butt pocket and found it. She noticed Reiji stirred a little and murmured something but she rolled her eyes and ignored it. They finally got in and this was her first time ever entering Reiji's place. It was super clean and she noticed green maracas on the couch. She walked in and went towards his bedroom and it looked so organized.
"Alrighty, Reiji time to put you on the bed."
When she put him on the bed. She headed to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water and some headache pills for him when he woke up. Once she came back, she see's Reiji standing up with eyes closed and saw him undressing.
"AHHHH!" she screamed but Reiji didn't even listen to that. Nami covered her mouth instantly and then fell on the floor, tripping over her own foot. She got up slowly and then noticed Reiji threw his button shirt at her face. Nami threw it to the side and walked up to Reiji.
"Hey, stop that. Come on, you can change when you get up."
She grabbed a hold of his waist and then Reiji had held on to her and both of them fell on the bed. Reiji's bare body was noticable and his pants were still on even though it was unbuttoned already. Reiji was still drunk and he opened his eyes, looking straight at her. He put his fingers on her lips and trailed it downwards to her button shirt. Nami noticed him licking his lips and Nami's heart was beating fast. Her eyes were kept opened, just staring at his movements.
"You look good tonight, my girl."
"Reiji…hey….stop that…" Her voice was a little shaky and Reiji laughed a bit and then he sat and started doing a random dance while towering over her. He started humming "poison kiss" and Nami facepalm herself and then noticed Reiji fall next to her, cuddled with a pillow and went straight to sleep. Nami pokes Reiji's forehead and got up from the bed. She was glad they didn't end up doing anything else or that if Reiji would have touched her. She couldn't believe her heart was beating fast again when he did that. Nami put his blanket over him and touched his hair and pats it. After that she leaves to go home. Reiji slept peacefully and slept soundly, but while he slept he started to tear up.
"Aine…..I'm sorry.."
The next day, Nami walked out of the shining agency while strenching. She was about to head into her car and suddenly her wrist was grabbed suddenly and was pulled.
"Uh…Whoa!"
She almost stumbled but then the person in front of her stared her down. Light blue eyes stared at her cyan ones. Nami made a face when she noticed it was Camus.
"You need something Camus?"
Camus was quiet for a second and then he let go of her. He started to snap his fingers and then Nami just light weight punched him in the stomach. Camus literally bended down and Nami turned to face him.
"What's your plan, dear prince?" Nami crossed her arms and Camus stood up slowly.
"After what you did last night at that bar, I came to a conclusion…"
Nami raised her eyebrow and Camus posed awkwardly in front of her.
"YOU WILL BE MY SERVANT!"
"Excuse me?"
Nami put a heel to his face and Camus literally tried to push away. Nami was getting a bit irritated at the fact that her next song was supposed to be this man's song. Before any of this had happened, they were in the music room at the studio, sitting all together waiting for Nami's answer on who she was going to pick next. Ai was obviously out of the box and was already working on another choreogaphy while the three men had sat next to Nami on who she chooses next. Nami thought for awhile , quietly and started making ideas. She looked at the three men in front of her and pointed her pen to each one.
"I guess I can work on this loser."
She pointed at Camus and Camus closed his book shut and glared at Nami.
"I am not no mere loser, you speak of."
"Well, technically you act like one, buddy."
Ranmaru got up from his seat and decides to go and join Ai, knowing he wasn't even going to be next. Reiji started rolling on the floor and complaining on why he didn't get chosen and Nami had to pinch him by the ear. Camus had tapped Nami's shoulder, and told her to meet him outside. Nami let go of Reiji and followed Camus. Once she got outside, Camus held onto both her shoulders and started to speak as if he was something mighty king.
"Since you have chosen me, and I know for a fact I will lecture you if my song isn't what I like, I will make you my servant."
The words that came out of Camus's mouth didn't phase her and she brushed his hands off her and turned her back on him, giving him a slight look.
"Who says a composer can bow down to your commands? I'm older than you, Mr. Prince Charming. You think you can put me down to whatever you want, I don't think so."
Camus was bewildered by her words and then tried to grab a hold of her again and repeats himself, saying that she has to be his servant. This was obviously giving Nami a headache and she started yelling in the agency so that everyone can hear her. Even Shining heard her but all he did was laugh it off and it was none of his business. Some of the STARISH members were already freaking out about Nami's angry side, that they didn't want to deal with it. Just by hearing her yelling from the other room, it was terrifying. Back to reality, her heel continued to be on his cheek and then she put her foot down and Camus stood up, feeling his face that had a small marking of her heel.
"I am not going to be your damn, servant. I'm just going to compose a song for you and I'm done with you."
Camus didn't give into her words and raise her chin to his face. Nami literally just didn't budge out of it and let him do that. She can sense that Camus's cheeks were turning pink at the fact Nami was actually standing against him, not afraid of anything.
"Don't expect a woman to do your dirty work when you got your own two hands, unless you are too scared to destroy such elegant fingers you have here."
Camus pushed her lightly on her car and pinned her there and Nami still didn't do a thing. She continued to just stare at him and Camus was already thinking how stong she is for doing this. He wondered how Ai had dealt with her and how he made it so easy. She had the look of an angel on the outside but in the inside she was truly evil. He touched her hair and then tilted his head.
"If you don't be my servant for a whole week, you will never get to compose a song for me. each time you make one I will rip it apart."
"Sure, go ahead. I can kick you out of Quartet Night if I wanted."
Ouch. Camus's hands were now shaking and he stopped what he was doing and crossed his arms. Nami started to evily smile and then she held on to his shirt and tugged on it.
"Awww. Is mister princy-butt scared of me, now?" She started to laugh and Camus glares at her.
"DON'T CALL ME ABSURD NAMES! It's ridiculous!"
Nami continued to laugh and then she opened her passenger door and offered a ride for Camus.
"Do you want to come in, my princess?"
Camus was now getting annoyed with her teasing but he decides to go into her car. Nami smiled evily when she noticed a little pink blush form in his cheeks. She got in right after and drove off. The first stop to take Camus, was at the mall. Camus didn't know what weird ideas was coming into her head, but they were sort of in the planning mode because he needed a new suit for a performance at the Shining tower. The richest people were going to be there for Camus's event and thanks to Nanami for giving him a song to use for that. At the same time, Nami was holding her own event at the shining tower for Camus with one of the songs she will decide to write. He wasn't sure how Nami was going to go forward with it, because he wasn't sure if she can handle him. He looked at Nami who had the face of determination throughout the whole day as she gave out her plannings to every visit she took at the store for the event. The event wasn't going to be held until the end of the week. Nami thought real hard on how she was going to work with Camus. Once everything was done, they decide to go to the studio to start Camus's practice. Nami sat in one of the office's and had an empty looking paper on the desk and had a pencil tapping at her chin. What was so difficult about Camus that she couldn't think of a song at the top of her head like she did with Ai? Was it because Camus and her barely even spoke? It was easier to actually have a normal conversation with Ai and Reiji, but with Camus it was the other way around. He always wanted to be served. She lean back on the chair just a bit and then tilted her head upwards and noticed Camus was looking down on her. She literally got up quickly and felt her chest.
"GEEZ! DO YOU HAVE TO APPEAR OUT OF NO WHERE LIKE THAT?!"
Camus rolled his eyes.
"It seems to me you are having trouble with composing today. Hmph. I was probably right about you."
Nami made a face and crossed her arms. She looked away from Camus for a bit.
"Your just annoying. That's what. Besides you being so high and mighty, what is it in you that needs to be known. Maybe I should pull that question, since obviously you want me to always serve you."
Camus looked to Nami and raised his eyebrow . Nami gave out a sigh and then picked up the paper.
"Have you ever loved anyone in your life before?"
With that question, Camus looked at her with shock. His face started to turn red and Nami start to give a small laughter.
"Ahhhh~ So you haven't? Maybe this is why you are so difficult."
"Wha-What's that supposed to mean?"
Nami sat back down and crossed her legs and started to tap on the table. Camus listened to her tapping and realized she was making up a song right away. He watched as she started to hum something and then spoke.
~Kodoku to kuukyo no hazama ni saita~
"It blossomed within the space between isolation and emptiness."
~Ichirin no nukumori no hana~
"A single flower of warmth"
Camus sat down this time and put his hands together raising it next to his mouth. He listened to every tap she was making while saying a bit of words and then she hummed the whole time. He was already getting some sort of idea from her and then he snapped his finger.
"Nami."
"Hmm?"
"If you want me to sing this song for you, I want you to obey me just for today."
Nami stopped tapping and then looked at him. If she did what Camus told her, would she understand something about him just a bit. Nami stood up from her chair and then walked over to Camus, putting a finger at his chin and then raising his face to look at her.
"Only for today, master."
Camus eyes looked as if it was shining and then he cleared his throat. He grabbed her wrist and then started walking out of the studio suddenly. Nami wasn't sure where they were going to go and this made her feel a bit worried. She didn't expect this.
"Hey, where are we going?!"
Camus didn't look back at her and then spoke.
"We are going to have some tea together at my place, now drive me there!"
Nami started to give him a glare and but she had to accept the fact she had to do what Camus wanted her to do. They get into her car and she drove them off to Camus's pretty palace of a home, a place she never got to go inside. She parked it outside and one of his butlers drove the car to a safe area where it will be kept safe. Once she got in, it was so elegant like and she wasn't used to this type of lifestyle. She looked around the place and then Camus had held her hand while they walked into a room that was already set with certain sweets and tea was set. She was actually amazed at how everything looked.
"Wow…"
Nami looked at the ballroom right next to everything and went to walk over to it. Camus's home was beautiful. She watched as some maids and butlers went to ask her what she wanted but all she kept doing was refuse. Camus snapped his fingers and two maids grabbed a hold of both her arms.
"Give her a pretty gown of elegance and bring her back here when she is ready."
"Huh?! Wait! Hey!"
The maids had taken her away, into a room to change her clothes. It took a couple minutes and then she opened her eyes to noticed the dress she had on. He hair was beautifully curled and the way she looked was just like a princess. She had a funny memory of Aine when she last wore some sort of outfit like this for an event.
"Oh look at my beautiful princess she so beautiful, the crowd is going to love this cosplay on you" Aine tells her while tapping her head and Nami lightly pushed him.
"Why did you make that stupid event? I don't want to be a princess, I rather be a knight." Nami looked at herself in the mirror and felt disgusted at herself on how she looked.
Aine hugged her from behind and put his head on her shoulder and they both looked at the mirror.
"There are times where I want to see my sister actually be more beautiful than any other girl in the world. You deserve to be treated like a princess. That's why when you put on certain dresses like this, it keeps some sort of elegance in you that a woman needs."
Nami stopped remembering his words and noticed that one of the maids had looked at her arms. Nami backed away slowly and covered her arms.
"Ma'am, what had happened to your arms? You haven't put anything to heal it?"
Nami was about to stutter out words and then looked at the mirror and noticed Camus was there. The maids had noticed him as well and then left the two alone in the room together. Camus came up to Nami, with a bit of a glare look in his eyes. Nami didn't look at him and still continue to cover her arms that had scars. She hid her arms in certain outfits that no one would noticed and obviously Camus was the first to see them. He raised both her arms tightly and brought Nami close to him.
"What it is this?"
"It's nothing. It happened a long time ago. Would you let go of me, please?"
Camus didn't budge out of his hold and Nami continued to look away from him. He finally let her go and she just walked away from him, and got her clothes from the bed and just walked out. She didn't want anyone to see her scars that she had put on herself and she didn't want to be around Camus at the moment. Once she got into another room, she see's Camus following her and then he pins her to a couch.
"wha-let go!"
Camus held her tightly for her not to run away and then he touched each scar on her arms. It didn't hurt her but it bothered her on what her own memories were. She started to stay silent and Camus spoke.
"I never thought that our own composer would have a story of her own."
"Well, it's not something I want to talk about. Once I compose every one of your guys songs, I'm leaving. It's not like I'm going to stay and continue to be a groups composer forever."
Camus got off her and then pulled her up. This conversation really wasn't going to go anywhere and Camus snapped his fingers three times. Nami ignored him and he did one more time.
"What?" Nami started to get irritated.
"Come with me to have tea, we will not mention about anything about your past. We are going to sit down, and relax."
Nami gave a face and followed his orders. She was ready to leave this place and doesn't want to bother being around Camus. Learning about Camus was a bit difficult but she was getting a understanding idea about him. He has two sides of himself. One where he thinks low on someone and is all high and mighty, the second part of him, he shows that he cares. He was like he was some two-faced type of guy and no one really see's who his true side is. They got back to the ballroom and had a quiet tea time together and Nami was getting bored. The dress she still had on was making her a bit itchy and she wanted to get out of it. She noticed her arms that showed scars was still visible and she would see Camus look at her from time to time. Everything already felt awkawrd betweem them. Camus stood up and walked over to Nami, holding her hand and pulling her gently to the dance floor. The light suddenly went out and candles started to appear. Classical music started to play and Camus started to make his move. They slowed dance in the middle of everything and Nami just obey him.
"That question you had asked earlier if I ever loved before.."
Camus started to say. Nami didn't bother looking at him because she wasn't in great moods. At least she continued to listen to him.
"I never loved before, and I've always been some royal count back at home but never had thought of wanting to be be honest, I never really bothered to actually fall in love. My father and I kept ourselves busy before he died. The Queen would always have me by her side back at my country."
Camus had made her twirl in front of him slowly and back to being close to him. Nami looked at his light blue eyes and just kept her mouth shut. Camus's hands reached her waist and brought her closer to him. This shocked Nami a bit and they stopped dancing. Camus and Nami looked at each other without exchanging words and then their face got a little closer but Nami put her finger on his lips.
"That doesn't mean I will be the one responsible for teaching how to love. I'm your composer. I will write you a song that has every meaning behind it."
Camus smiles at her and then he let go of her and all of a sudden the doors to the ballroom opened suddenly and they noticed Reiji, Ai and Ranmaru breaking in. Reiji raised his sleeves up and walked over to Nami and pulled her away from Camus.
"You are not supposed to take our composer and just do some romantic stuff in front of her. What happens if you get caught?!" He started to whine and Camus looked away from Reiji.
"Well, too bad you couldn't do such a thing to a beautiful woman first."
"Myu-chan….." Reiji started to glare and was about to grab a hold of Camus and Camus just raised his hand and just held Reiji's head. Nami gave out a sigh and walked over back to where all the sweets were and sat down. Ai walked up to her, ignoring the fact Reiji and Camus were at each others head and left Ranmaru to take care of it.
"You seem stressed out, Nami."
"I am, actually."
Ai noticed scars on her arms and never noticed that before. Nami knew he looked at her arms and she hid it again.
"I'm going to go change and leave. I got work to do when I get home."
Ai looked back at the other members and everyone was all quiet. Camus continued to stare where Nami walked out to and thought for a long time. Reiji gave a curious look and poked Camus's shoulder.
"Did something happen?" Reiji had to ask.
"She has scars on her arms. Something had happened to her back then but she won't let anyone know about it."
Ai crossed his arms.
"Well, all I know is that she has a brother."
Reiji touched his chin and thought about it. Ranmaru just stayed quiet and was ready to leave and go home. Reiji was thinking hard about this. This was something that couldn't get out of his mind.
A couple days had passed and it tomorrow was the day for Camus's event she will be holding. Nami stayed home and stayed in her music room in front of the piano. She had already composed half of the song she wrote for Camus. It was a love song and when she tried working with it, it fit perfectly for Camus. After that day being around Camus and somewhat being ordered by him, she got a good visualization about Camus. The only thing he needed to learn was about love. That whole time she worked on it and looked at the time turn the tv on and watch as Camus had performed the song Nanami had written for him. She was weirded out by the fact the song he had sung at the tower was mostly about his superior self.
"He is super weird."
Camus was like a sort of king to everyone's eyes who loved him but he was count. She knew from learning about his backstory for a little bit, she understood the feelings inside Camus. Camus didn't get to really enjoy a childhood and would always grow up to always be the man he should be. Camus was younger than Nami and comparing herself to him, they were both different. As she listened to the song he was singing for the crowd it was a different feel to what her song was going to be for him. Nanami did great wonders with the song.
~sara naru takami he nozomu~
"Facing even greater heights"
~itsuwari no nai ambition~
"My ambition is not a lie"
~Kokou no ryouiki~
"This range of superiority"
~omae ni miseyou~
"I will show you…"
Nami put a hand at her cheek and continued to watch the live broadcast of the event and watched as this prince figure sang.
~koyoi wa matsu no mo warukunai~
"I don't mind waiting for tonight in this"
"Saintly Territory"
"Saintly Territory", Camus/ Maeno Tomoaki, Ep. 6 Uta no Prince-Sama Maji love Revolutions
The song had ended and Nami walked over to her compose work, and walked out of her house and into her car to meet with Camus at the tower. Once she got there, she met him in his hotel room and Camus was surprised to see her there. Camus suddenly felt a weird vibe around Nami and then he watched as Nami pinned him on his hotel bed and felt his hair.
"Now, it's my turn to give my Quartet Night member a song he will sing made by me, and only me. You better do well tomorrow or you will be punished by a real queen."
She kissed him on his forehead and left the papers on his face, and left the hotel room. Camus got up suddenly, feeling his cheeks and noticed how red he was in the mirror. He didn't know why Nami had did such a thing and then he noticed the song in front of him. His heart started to skip a bit while wondering how she had put it together. I sat at his bed side, not making any movements and then his hotel room was barged into and Reiji had pushed Ranmaru, Ai and Nami inside.
"Reiji, really now? I just came to drop off his song, I don't need to come back." Nami yelled at him.
"But we really want to hear the song you have given to him, plus we are all going to be there and watch him perform, just like what we did for Ai-Ai."
"Who said we have to come here a bug the hell out of Camus?!" Ranmaru yelled out while trying to push Reiji off him, who also had Ai and Nami in his grasp.
"We didn't even make a plan to immediately just barge in here." Ai mentions.
"Why do you all have to be party ruiners?! You guys are all rude."
Reiji started to move around on top of them so much that his hands accidentally pushed Nami's butt and she fell more on top of Ranmaru's chest and her face was at Ai's covered crotch while Reiji's other hand felt her boob. Camus was speechless on how their fallen floor looked and facepalm his face. Nami was lost in words and she just slapped all three of them in the face but gave Reiji more of a punishment.
"I'm SORRY!" Reiji yelled out.
"You are all perverts! I'm leaving"
Nami got up and rushed to the door and was about to leave when all of a sudden she heard Camus laugh. They all paused and just looked at him. He was laughing too much that he couldn't keep it in. Nami smiled at the fact that this is what kind of scene he should see, since during his childhood she can tell it wasn't a fun one. He had to live a little and seeing that laughter being shown to all of them, kept her hopes up that Quartet Night will do her best. She finally walked out of Camus's hotel room, leaving the other guys in there and walked down the hall. Once she did, she noticed three people walking in front of her. The guy looked at Nami and smiled. He immediately walked up to her and then stopped her from walking away.
"Did you need something?" Nami asked the man, the man looked at her up and down and at her figure.
"What's a pretty looking lady like you doing in a expensive hotel by yourself?"
Nami pushed him off and then the guy slapped her in the butt. Nami got angry by this and then held him by the collar.
"If gave you the right to touch me?" Nami says to him. She noticed Camus, Reiji, Ranmaru and Ai came suddenly, and Ranmaru and Reiji held the other two guys down, Ai was busy calling up security and Camus let Nami stop holding the guy and pushed the man to the wall.
"Leave the lady alone, the cops are coming to get you three out of here and never to step into this hotel ever again." Camus's deep voice felt like it went inside the man's soul and they see the security come and take the men away. Nami crossed her arm and Camus felt her back.
"You alright?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just a bunch of idiots I just ran into."
Ranmaru pats Nami's head.
"You are one strong lady to defend yourself." Ranmaru adds in.
Nami just smiled at the fact these men tried to do all they can to keep her safe. The next day it was finally time for the event and Nami was literally going crazy everywhere in Camus's hotel. She was trying to find certain stuff for Camus's outfit and all Camus was doing was sit near the window, quietly sipping his tea. Reiji, Ranmaru and Ai were just being lazy around the room. Nami was the last one to wake up and no one didn't bother to get her up early. She finally got some accessories for Camus and started putting it on him. Camus watched as she fixed his tie and everything and looked at her face. He instantly put a hand on her chin and Nami stopped. Reiji noticed that and broke their touchy feel moment.
"Heyyyyyyy now, get ready Camus." Reiji told to him and Camus rolled his eyes. It wasn't like he was going to try anything. Reiji was a complete cockblocker. Everyone finally got ready and they headed out backstage. Camus was practicing for a bit with the song while Nami had sat somewhere and was thinking for a bit. Reiji, Ai and Ranmaru had looked out and saw a lot of people waiting for his next song. Ai noticed something wrong with Nami since something in him was senses something unusual. Reiji noticed Ai looking at Nami and asked.
"Nami doesn't seem like she is okay over there?" Reiji said
"Actually, she doesn't look too well."
Camus was about to head up on stage but the concerns for Nami bugged him. He watched as Nami finally walked up to them and gave a thumbs up to Camus. Her eyes were a bit red and she looked pale. What was wrong with Nami just now? Camus took a breath and headed out on stage. Nami leaned on a wall and started to feel her chest.
"Crap. I forgot to bring one of those pills." Nami was looking all over her bag and then the song finally starts. She had to hold out on watching how well Camus does on stage. Reiji, Ranmaru and Ai watched the performance Camus was giving to the crowd.
~Fuyu no owari o shirazu ni ikite kita~
"I've lived without knowing winter's end"
~kokoro o tokasu haru no sora~
"The spring sky thawing at my heart"
The stage started to sparkle and bright lights shined on Camus. Nami noticed the audience were also singing along with the song and this made her heart a bit calm. She watched as Camus sang and the different thing about how he sung it was that he was smiling.
~dochira ga kakute shimatte mo kanadeau koto wa deki wa shinai~
"No matter what we've gone with, we cannot play it correctly"
~Koncheruto no hibiki ni wa shinjiau hato ga hitsuyou (Believe me..)
"Trusting one another is essential to make this concerto ring out(Believe me…)
Nami clenched at her chest once again and started to kneel on her knees and try to catch her composure. She still kept her eyes open to watch the last bits of Camus's song. Ai had turned around sense Nami on her knees and went to her quickly. Reiji had followed soon after. Ranmaru looked at Nami as well. They didn't know what was wrong with her.
~(love me) A never ending love story~
"(love me) A never-ending love story"
~umareyuku We Dream~
"Born as we dream"
~(Hold me) kagayake orora no youni~
"(hold me) Like a shinging aurora"
("Aurora" by Camus, Maeno Tomoaki)
After the ending of his song, the crowd cheered and confetti spread everywhere. Nami heard all the fangirls screaming in joy when Camus ended with an "I love you". Nami smiled that she made another success and then her vision started to blur. She was reaching her hand out for a bit and then she noticed Camus running towards Nami and held her in his arms. Nami didn't close her eyes yet and she noticed Starish and Nanami coming backstage and they noticed her being held on the ground.
"Is she alright?!" Nanami ran towards Nami and held out her hand towards Nami's forehead.
Ai looked in her bag and took out pills that Nami used. Nami was already unconscious before she was able to speak again. Ai walked up to Reiji and showed him the pill bottle. Reiji read the pill bottle wrote for "Nami Kisaragi" and this shocked him. Nami had the same last name as Aine.
"Kisaragi?" Reiji questioned in silence and Ai just looked at him. Ai started to speak to the others.
"We need to bring her to a hospital right now, her body is feeling weak."
"Yeah." Everyone agree's to what Ai told them and everything from there ended for that day.
Silence had taken over Nami's mind and she felt like she was floating in air. When she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful night sky above her and felt like she was stepping on water. She was at the beach and her hair flew through the wind. She saw someone familiar in front of her and touched that person's hand.
"Aine…you are awake. What are you doing out here, you should be home."
Aine turned to look at her and pat her on the head.
"Not until you finish what you need to do Nami. I can't be there with you until you learn how to be the person you should have been a long time ago."
Nami was confused and then she gave her brother a pout face.
"But I want you near me and watch me do all these new things I have encountered."
Aine shook his head.
"It's still not enough. I want my sister to know something more than accomplishments. "
He points to her chest where he heart is and Nami looked down. She looked up and Aine but she couldn't hear what he had to say to her and everything from there ended and she woke up. Nami had looked around the room and noticed she was in the hospital.
"How did I get here?" Nami says and then she see's the door open. Reiji came in, taking off his hat and sat next to her on an empty chair. Nami looked at him and Reiji tried to reach out to her hand but he stopped. Nami was confused at his slow actions but just looked at him.
"You feeling okay?" Reiji asked her.
"Yeah. I must have had another faint attack." Nami looks away. She couldn't believe it happened during the end of Camus's performance, not to mention right in front of everyone. Was she working too hard now? Reiji looked at her seriously and pull out the pill bottle.
"I never got to know your last name, Nami. You never told anyone. So…"
Nami went wide eyed and looked at Reiji. Reiji had the most serious face she has never seen before and that worried her.
"Are you related to Aine?"
Nami went quiet and the whole room stayed silent for a good few minutes. Reiji continued to look at her with seriousness in his eyes.
"I've been looking for him everywhere, and he hasn't contacted me sense. He had a sister that he wanted me to meet, and now I'm wondering if that's you?"
Nami remembered when Aine had told her Aine had a best friend that he would want her to meet and that person in front of her was that man. She wasn't expecting to see someone that she was going to work with until the end which is her actual brother's best friend. She clenched her hands on the bed sheet. She didn't want to tell anyone about Aine's wherabouts and she looked to her hands and not look at Reiji.
"Yes. That is my brother. But….I don't know where he is. I'm sorry."
Reiji backed away for a bit and felt through his brown layered hair and to his face. He leaned his head on the side of the bed and Nami looked at him.
"I can't believe this…..I met his sister without him being here."
Nami started to feel tears forming in her eyes but she shook it off and all they could hear was the sounds of the wind coming from the opened window.
