New Years Love Story Chapter 2 
All the girls woke up at the crack of dawn to get to rehearsals at the right time. AKB48 and SKE48 would rehearse at a studio that was provided for them. Half way through rehearsal for Beginner, Rena accidentally slipped and fell right on top of someone. They both fell with a yelp and a grunt. The unlucky person being on the bottom and cushioning the fall for Rena.
"Ahhh! I'm so sorry! I'm so—uhhh..?"
She was stopped in her tracks as she noticed that the girl under her was none other than her object of… desire? Yes Rena actually wants the younger Matsui but that's for another time. She noticed how after the fall and her attempt to right herself, Rena had gottem herself into quite a position. She was straddling Jurina's waist and their faces were mere inches apart. She wanted to just lean down and capture those alluring lips but she had to refrain herself because everyone was watching.
"Hey… Rena-chan? Jurina-chan? You two alright? You're just… frozen there."
They both turned to see the whole group looking at them with worried faces. What they didn't know was the whole Beginner group knew about the love these two had and no matter how hard they wanted to smack the two for not noticing, they had to play their part and act behind the stage instead.
"Uh… yea… I'm fine… Rena-chan… you alright? Hehe…"
"Oh yea… I'm fine…"
"Then… I don't mind but can you get off me… we need to continue practice…"
"O-oh I'm sorry… here…"
As the group watched the two interact, Yuko smirked and Atsuko smiled. The rest of the group could see the chemistry EVERYWHERE. They all wanted to face palm and tell the girls to just come out and tell them… then that's one less couple to deal with. Nothing else really happened after that so the rest of the practice went off without a hitch. Afterward, the girls went back to the hotel and some of the AKB girls came along just to have fun. They reserved a room so all the girls can fool around a bit before leaving for home or back to their rooms. Yuko decided they would play truth or dare using spin the bottle with the WHOLE group which consisted of Yuko, Haruna, Rena, Jurina, Kumi, Anna, Yuki, Mayu, Atsuko, Takamina, and a few more SKE and AKB girls mixed in. Yuko grabbed a coke bottle and placed it in the middle of the big circle.
"Ok… since I brought the bottle… ME FIRST!"
Everyone sweat-dropped as Korisu spun the bottle and it landed on Sashihara Rino.
"Alright… truth or dare Sashihara."
"I choose dare."
"Hm…. Alright… I dare you to go kiss Mayu."
Sashihara didn't say anything but when she walked up to Mayu, she saw Yuki give her a dangerous smile. Mayu looked oblivious to it but she couldn't hide the smirk that showed. Sashihara quickly gave Mayu a quick peck on the cheek and ran back to her seat. She knew was going to die by the hands of BLACK tonight… some of the girls around the circle snickered at what was to come.
"Go spin the bottle Rino-chan~!"
She walked back to the center and spun the bottle. It landed right on Yuko and she smirked. Yuko looked a little scared but didn't know what was going to happen.
"Truth or Dare Yuko-san."
"I choose… DARE."
"Hehe alright… go try skinship with Haruna-san… and Haruna-san… resist all you want."
After a serious of loud smacks, a crying squirrel made her way to the center to spin the bottle. It hit Kumi and she chose dare. Yuko thought for a bit about what to dare to give her. Suddenly, something popped in her head and Haruna shook her head at the face Korisu was making.
"Well well well… I dare you to FRENCH KISS dear Anna over there. I don't mean the group French kiss my dear girl… make me hot and bo-*SMACK*"
"Enough Yuko. She gets the point."
Haruna dragged Yuko back to her seat after smacking her again. Kumi stood up and shakily walked over to Anna who looked just as shaky. She pulled Anna up and stepped closer. Moving closer until their lips both met and they stood there. It was a slow innocent one at first. Then the actual dare started. Everyone watched in surprise as a 14 year old and a 16 year old could actually kiss like someone who has done that before. When they pulled away, both were panting slightly and blushing like mad. Even the people around them were blush and Yuko seemed to be having a nosebleed.
"Ok… moving on… Kumi can you spin the bottle?"
Kumi nodded and walked over to the bottle with wobbly knees. The spun it and it landed right onto Rena. The whole group suddenly went all smiles except for the two Matsui's and that made them nervous…
"Hehehehehe alright then Rena-chan~ which is it? Truth or Da~re?
"Um…t-truth?"
Right when she said truth, everyone mentally high-fived each other and congratulated each other. Right then, she knew she chose the wrong choice as the room suddenly filled with some kind of tension/anticipation.
"Alright so this MUST be the ABSOLUTE truth. Understand?"
"U-um... yes…?"
"Alright… so... wait… GROUP DISCUSSION"
With that said, everyone except Rena and Jurina went into a foot-ball like huddle and whispers could be heard.
"Should I ask her who she likes?"
"No… too blunt… ask her what she did for Christmas… like who was she with and did she have fun."
"Isn't that two questions?"
"Oh whatever… just ask it. Then that will confirm out suspicion… and maybe help us out."
"Alright. LET'S GO!"
With that, they ran back and Kumi smiled like nothing happened.
"Alright so Rena… Who were you with for Christmas and did you guys have fun?"
"Isn't that two que-"
"Don't worry about it, just answer the question."
"Um… I was with Jurina-chan and… y-y-yes we had f-f-f-fun…"
They all watched amused as both Jurina and Rena blushed a bright crimson."
Well I think we should wrap this up… we have more practice tomorrow… it's only Tuesday after all. Remember the schedule girls! Practice from 9 to finish from Monday – Wednesday. Thursday is the event. Then it's DAYS OFF! Everyone was once again cheering for the days off. Sure they love their work and all but if you have to wake up at the crack of dawn and practice till who knows what hour, then its good to have breaks. They all went home or to their rooms but Kumi surprised both Jurina and Rena with some request.
"Hey… Jurina-chan?"
"Yea? What is it Kumi-chan?"
"Can we switch places? I want to stay with Anna-chan."
As Kumi was asking Jurina this, Anna was asking Rena the same thing.
"Um… I don't mind as long as Jurina-chan doesn't."
"Oh Kumi is asking and… It seems she's ok with it."
"Alright then…"
When they got Jurina's things into the room, they were surprised to find the instead of two beds, there was a single king size instead.
"What? When did this change?"
"When we were playing the game… good night guys~!"
With that said, the two girls made a break for it leaving Jurina and Rena to look after them confused.
"Is that even allowed?"
"Beats me… but when it comes to them… and if the senpais were involved… just about anything is possible…"
"You're right Rena-chan… well… long day ahead… bed time?"
"Yea… let's."
With that said, they both got ready for bed and jumped in together. They lay apart for a bit but Jurina wouldn't take it like that and flipped over to snuggle up to Rena. She laid her head on Rena's chest and listened to her heartbeat.
"Ne… Rena-chan?"
"Yes?"
"Do you… regret what happened on Christmas night?"
"W-what? Of course not… that was the best…"
"Oh… I was worried that you regretted what happened."
"No… don't think such silly thoughts."
Rena looked down and Jurina and Jurina looked up. Rena could still see the doubt etched onto the younger girls face and she leaned down to capture the younger girl's lips. Jurina was surprised at this but closed her eyes to savor it. It was a slow, sweet kiss and Rena wrapped her arms around Jurina. She kissed Jurina's forehead and laid back as Jurina continued to listen to Rena's heartbeat. When Jurina was sure Rena was sleeping, she moved up and kissed her cheek.
"I love you… Rena-chan."
