Standing outside of the studio patiently, Kazuya bit her lips nervously, waiting for her beloved boyfriend and fellow team members to come out. Knowing their schedule, and suddenly wanting to see Jin, she had actually rushed here. Of course, since she’s a celebrity herself, she got her way in.
Walking with pure pride and glory, she showed the security her pass, and successfully gotten in. Flashing out a smile, she corrected her sunglasses as she entered the forbidden area.
Her legs feels numb after some time, simply leaning against the wall without knowing when exactly would the guys finish their last photo shoot of the day. Glancing towards the sofa situated on the other end of the level, Kazuya was about to go there when the door to the studio finally opened, revealing the Most-Wanted celebrities in Japan.
Her movement stopped causing her to turn back.
“You’re kidding!” Junno’s voice spirited the dampen atmosphere, changing it into a warm one instantly.
“Like I said - ” Jin couldn’t even finish his sentence when Koki interrupted him, smiling brightly towards a direction, at a certain someone Jin had failed to notice.
“Kazuya.”
“Huh?” He followed the gaze, his eyes widened in surprise at the appearance of his girlfriend. Her side leaned against the wall, her hands crossed, as a large pout soon formed on her pretty face.
“Ah, seems that you’re in trouble, Jin.” Nakamaru teased, referring to the pout on the youngest member, as he patted the latter’s shoulder. “So cute. Isn’t she?” He chuckled. The other members nodded their heads in agreement.
Wanting to hold her in his arms immediately, Jin swiftly moved towards Kazuya. He was by her side in no time, somehow amused at the sweet smile that had now formed on her face. The pout was gone in an instant, as she made the initiative to hold Jin by the waist, hiding her face.
“Looks like Kazuya miss her Jin so much.” Koki winked, causing her to blush a little.
“I’m hungry.” Nakamaru suddenly complained, touching his growling stomach as evidence. “Same place for dinner?” He asked his friends, clapping his hands in delight when received positive response.
Lifting her head from his chest, Kazuya looked up at Jin, who planted a quick kiss on her forehead. “Let’s go?” Jin said lovingly, putting his arms protectively around her waist, guiding them towards the elevator, just a few steps behind their fellow members.
They don’t need words to say of their love, small actions like what Kazuya did today is special and meaningful to them.

The press conference would start in half an hour’s time, Kazuya thought. Her heart is beating real fast as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Kamenashi Kazuya staring back at her, a Johnnys Idol that had once been famous for her acting skills and star power.
Then, she was a he …
Will things be the same after this? I’m not the same Kazuya anymore …
Biting her lips, she took one last glance at the woman in her, a totally different appearance from what she had been. No more sporting guy clothes instead she wears elegant woman clothing now, like what she’s wearing today, a black sleeveless knee length dress.
Not wanting to think about it anymore, Kazuya grabbed her handbag and pushed the washroom door open, slightly surprised when she saw Jin rushing towards her, a look of worry evident in his eyes.
“You’re going to do just right.” Jin whispered, he engulfed her in a short embrace, before gazing at her meaningfully. “Kazuya is still the same Kazuya, despite the changes. As long as you have confidence in the present you, everything will be all right. Hmm?” Jin assured her.
As long as I have Jin by my side, I’ve got nothing to fear.
Kazuya nodded, and smiled, feeling better than earlier. Jin gave her the confidence she had lost a moment ago, now it furiously came back to her.
No matter what other people’s view would turn out, it doesn’t matter as long as she stays true to herself. What more, she has the support from the people she loves …
I won’t lose without a fight.

Standing behind the door to the press conference room, Kazuya glanced at her team members with an outmost glow of confidence. Jin stood close to her, flashing her an assurance smile.
“10 secs.”
Finally gotten the cue, Kazuya entered the arena of the conference room, with her teammates following closely behind. Like what it had been before, the ‘K’ leading the rest of the alphabets in KAT-TUN.
The rowdy and noisy room suddenly were filled with silence as all the reporters finally get a glance of the new Kamenashi Kazuya, her appearance different yet refreshing, with an elegant aura.
As soon as she had settled in her seat, Kazuya took the microphone in her hand, as she greeted with a smile.
“Hello. Kamenashi Kazuya desu.”
After that powerful sentence was being spoken, cameras and noise soon came to life. In just a split second, the silence was recovered, thus the beginning of the Press Conference.
26 April 2007 - Kamenashi Kazuya’s comeback: Live Coverage
~`~
“Is it true that Kamenashi-san is returning back to KAT-TUN despite the gender change?” A reporter asked.
“It’s true.” Kazuya took charge of the talk once again, before continuing, “I know that there will be different kind of reactions to this decision. Some would support but there are also others who would be against it. Something like … why should a girl like me still be in KAT-TUN?”
The tone that of hurt yet she was determined in going through this hurdle, “When I first stepped my foot back in Japan, I wanted to start a new life, not looking back at my past. But … after all, no matter how far or how long the time passed by for me, this is where I truly belong.” She paused for a moment. “I want to spend my eternity with these five idiotic guys.” Kazuya chuckled, as she looked at the expressions of her members.
“That’s why, despite of the changes, my heart is still with KAT-TUN. So kindly do support us as a six member group.” Kazuya ended her speech nicely, putting the microphone on the table gently, as she took a sip of her drink.
And, as expected, the media wants to know of her private life too … Her love life.
“From what we’ve heard, there are rumors about you getting back with Akanishi-kun. Didn’t you two broke up a year ago? Could you please clarify this with us, Kamenashi-san?”
Feeling familiar warmth on her left hand, she flashed Jin a meaningful look, appreciative that he has just replenished her confidence, which earlier was draining low. With a high level of confidence, Kazuya looked at the media once again, ready for some explanation.
“A year ago, it was too painful for me. When you - the media found out the truth about my new self, I couldn’t overcome the overwhelming pain I was going through then. That’s why, despite having support from …” She glances at her boyfriend, who flashed out an assuring smile. “… Jin-kun, I couldn’t handle it. There were so many doubts in my heart, so much that I took the decision in my own hands. I thought it would have been better if I leave, then everything would be peaceful again.”
Kazuya paused yet again for the countless time in the day, her thoughts meddling with her mind to talk, suddenly recalling back the pain of yesterdays.
“That even if I have to go through the pain all by myself, it would be okay. I didn’t want anyone, including Jin or anyone else for that matters, to get hurt. That’s why … with a heavy heart, I left home.” She was in the verge of tears as of now, biting her lips, forcing herself not to cry in public. “As much as I wanted to forget my love, I couldn’t. Looking back, I realized that I was selfish and had hurt him in the process. All this made me realize that there could be no one but Akanishi Jin for me.” Kazuya couldn’t control it anymore, as she faced Jin, and immediately looked down, away from the view of the media.
“Kazuya is the love of my life. If you hurt her, you’ll hurt me double the amount so please kindly support our relationship. If you care enough, please bless us sincerely.” Jin said on behalf of his girlfriend, taking hold of her left hand beneath the table, clasping it firmly, giving her all the support she needed right now.
For the first time since her return, Kazuya realized that she was never alone. She was merely blinded by the doubts in her heart then, that she had forgotten one important thing. No matter what setbacks they have to face, Jin would always be there … with her.
If only we’re not in public, I would have kissed you. Kazuya smiled brightly at Jin, her face glowed with happiness, something that has not left unnoticed by the others in the conference room.
Love is really special …
~`~
The press conference had ended as KAT-TUN gathered together, the tables were being put away, as all six-member stand in alphabetical position, ready to have their pictures taken.
It had been so long since Kazuya had taken a photo alongside with her group thus she felt certain nervousness in her system, being uncomfortable for a moment, clueless at what to do.
It’s been so long …
Jin, who realized that his girlfriend is standing quite a few distance from him, simply pulled her closer, protectively putting his arms around her waist, ignoring the slightly shock look on her face as he kept on glancing at the cameras in front.
Her shock quickly disappeared, as a true smile reached her face, smiling for the camera from the bottom of her heart.
If Jin hadn’t been by her side, she wouldn’t be as strong as she is now.
~`~
A few days after the Press Conference, KAT-TUN had another photo shoot. This time, as a six-member photo shoot, with Kazuya joining them after a year’s span. With her around, the atmosphere suddenly turned into a warm and exciting moment, with all six members fooling around the studio … like old times.
“You’ll kill me for saying this but man … Kazuya’s so hot, and sexy.” Koki said, glancing towards the youngest member who was having her solo shots taken, flashing a seductive yet sexy look to the camera, her beauty was undeniable.
“She have always been, Koki …” Jin chuckled, looking at the direction as well.
“Group photo!” The photographer exclaimed, calling the rest of the members up, instructing them of their alignment position, with Jin and Kame being in the center.
Smile … from the bottom of my heart.
Just a few more steps to be reunited on the same stage again … as a six-member unit group.
K.A.T.T.U.N … KAT-TUN.

Author's Note: Finished this within a day. I totally missed writing despite my busy school life so I had to write this. Hmm, some of you might have stalked my journal every day to check for updates, right? I just have that feeling ... Updates for my fics would be slow but it would eventually be updated, so don't worry. I'm not the type to abandon something that I've started without even ending it. This chapter is kind of touching, I should say. Kazuya's officially back in KAT-TUN.
