Rika: “Our love IS REAL?”

I can just imagine Rika's face when she said that. Or rather, screamed that

I bet Miki heard everything. What's gonna happen next?? AHHHH can't wait.

Yoshi 10

Back at the hotel, a moody Yossi finds herself wander into the café. Sitting near a corner, she stirs her drink with the straw, deep in thoughts.

(Why does it bother her so much, I never said I like her, why she’s so freaked out. And that Abesan,  of all time, she choose today to give her nonsense talk. ‘Miki is boyish, but then her sex is female, right, so she will choose Yossi.’ I am ONNA too, what nonsense she’s sprouting, she talks like I’m a guy, and that’s not gonna help since Rikachan thinks I like her…)

Miki: “Can I join you?”

Yossi is shocked to see Miki in front of her.

“douzo.”
Miki: “Don’t have to look around, I’m alone.”
“Oh, you caught me… Because I thought you’re always wi..”
Miki: “Ayaya?”
“Yep.”
Miki: “You seem to be interested in Ayaya and me?”

(Don’t expect it coming from her. Did she catch me sneaking around that night?)

“no... no… just curious.”
Miki: “We are just good buddies, nothing else.”

Yossi can hear Miki emphasize the last 2 words and her ears turn red from guilt.

“Of course…”

Miki: “Anyway, thanks for today. Although it’s just a game, but I know you guys did try to know me better and also for the nice comment you said.”
“Which is?”
Miki: “saying that you like my character from start because you thought I might choose you.”
“yeah… that’s embarrassing isn’t it, when you later chose Kaorin.”
Miki: “I know you meant what you said, though we never had a nice chat since I joined momusu.”

(man… the way she talks, I’m cornered…)

“yeah… of course I meant it.”
Miki: “Alright, I’ll make a move, will leave you to your thoughts.”

“Not having a drink?... ok, see ya.”

Miki: “By the way, don’t think too much. I know she likes you.”

(Eh?)

Yoshi 11

Yossi steps into the makeshift shokudou, she has 2 hours lunch break before the next stage rehearsals start. Routinely she fills up her plate and looks for an empty seat.

(no need to dodge, Rikachan, I  won’t join you.)

“Konkon, can I sit here?”
Konno: “Sure, Yoshizawa-san.”
“Where are the rest? I mean… the gokis” Yossi settles in the seat besides Konno.
Konno: “Not sure… had not seen them since the break.”
“Oh, you sure eat a lot.”
Konno: “Do I? Oh... it’s embarrassing. Everything looks so delicious so I just wanna try them. I just took one of each.”
“I don’t mean anything.”

Yossi gives Konno an assuring smile. (besides no matter how you stuff yourself, you won’t be as rounded as me…)

“This looks nice, can I try it?” Not waiting for a reply from Konno, Yossi crosses her arm to Konno’s side and helps herself to the grilled fish fillet on Konno’s plate.

Konno is shocked but actually feels more dokidoki because Yossi’s arm nearly brushes against her chest. Konno can feel her face turning red.

“It tastes good.”

(A-RE! Konkon is blushing? Did I just do anything? I just… oh mine! She’s shy isn’t she? But it’s fun to see her turn red…)

“It really tastes good, don’t believe try it.”

Yossi cuts the fish, picks it up with her fork and puts it near Konno’s mouth. Awkwardly Konno opens her mouth and swallows it in a gulp. She just want to be done with it as fast as possible, later she just keep her head low and nod repeatedly to say it is good. Her face is feeling red hot now and she does not want Yossi to see it.

(even her ears are turning red now!)

Suddenly Yossi feels she is being watched. She looks over at Rika. Rika immediately looks away. Yossi continues to look at Rika, hoping to make eye contact. But no, Rika just stands up, clears her table and leaves the room.

[GeTaWay]

impatient for the next chapter !! xD

[katatsumuri]

I'm still writing sometimes I have writer's block . It's nice to read your comments, at least I know there are people who read what I wrote.

[Mikan]

Ahaha! Makes me laugh! the though of Konno feeling DokiDoki around Yossui.

she seems so cute and innocent, dont you think? It seems so her to blush over something so simple

Waiting until next time! If I have writers block I walk or do something simple and think about the characters. They can be doing anything! But just imagine where and what Konno would do after. Just imagine like you are watching it and you are there. Sometimes it wont be interesting for a story but sometimes it will be good! Try it

[katatsumuri]

Thanks Mikan, I'll try that.

[katatsumuri]

Yoshi 12

There is still another hour before the rehearsals start. Yossi loiters at backstage thinking of ways to kill time.

(Maybe I should go Ayamiki’s evidence hunting.)

She walks along the corridor, popping her head into rooms along the way.

(Could they be hiding somewhere smooching? If I were them, where will be the best place?)

Staff: “Yoshizawa-san”

(Wow! What a scare…that’s what happens when I do sneaky things)

“Ya?” Yossi tries to compose herself.

Staff: “Have you seen Takahashi-san, Niigaki-san and Ogawa-san?”
“Nope.”
Staff: “Thanks.”

Yossi continues walking aimlessly along the corridor. Then she sees Makoto coming out from the storeroom.

(what’s she doing in there?)

Quietly Yossi creeps up to Makoto and puts her arm on Makoto’s shoulder.

“Makochan, what you doing?”
Makoto: “OI~ Bikkurishita!!”
“What are you doing in there?”
Makoto: “nothing, nothing.”
“Your forehead is sweating and your face is red, how can there be nothing?”
Makoto: “It’s warm inside…”
“Inside? I’m going in to have a look.”
Makoto: “No!”

Makoto grabs Yossi, but her resistence makes Yossi all the more wants to go in and take a look

Makoto: “Ok..Ok… but you promise you mustn’t make any noise, ok? And let me open the door.”

Makoto opens the door so stealthily, it makes Yossi filled with anticipation, some thing ‘happening’ must be going on in there.

The semi-dark room is filled with stacks of concert chairs and miscellaneous props. Yossi pats on Makoto’s shoulders, opens up her arms and shrugs. Makoto puts a finger to her mouth and signals Yossi to follow her.

Both girls walk quietly to another room at the end. Then Makoto stops at the entrance, she puts her finger to her mouth again then she points to her ear, asking Yossi to listen.

(Oh mine… there are noises coming from that room.)

“sorette ii no?”
“daijoubu dayo…”
“… …”
“un… unn…”

(Was that a moan or a groan…?)

[lil_hamz]

Gaki and Ai are being very naughty

Oh and can I ask what's sorette? Is it the past tense of something?

[Mikan]

Sore = that
tte = " "

ii= good, ok

no = ?

Lit:  "That" is good/ok?

[Mikan]

Sorry I forgot to comment on the chapter!! YES!! I LIKE IT!! Right now Im working but I can quickly use the computer. I was so happy to see that the writers block is breaking and you are writing up more!

Im curious, what are all three of them doing?!

[katatsumuri]

lil_hamz >> you're good ~ (pat shoulders) you guess correctly the Aichan and Gakisan pairing.

Thanks Mikan for helping me explain what 'sorette' means.

I'm always writing on my free time, I've got a few more chapters up but I ain't posting them too quick in case I need to do some changes. Sometimes I read back what I wrote, it's ain't really interesting stuff, maybe boring cos it's slow paced.

[katatsumuri]

Yoshi 13

In the gakuya, Yossi and Makoto sit on the sofa, looking at each other. Seeing each other’s red face, they burst into laughter again.

Makoto: “Sugoi ne?”
“Ya, I’m surprised…”
Makoto: “So you know who’s behind that door?”
“Yep, I recognize their voices. I’m still in shock…”
Makoto: “Now you know why I won’t let you in just now…”
“How did you know about them?”
Makoto: “hehe… my GAYdar has always been sensitive. They have been going on for sometime now.”
“You mean you’ve been spying on them and their activities? Makochan, you are ‘weird’.”
Makoto: “Oi, that’s not the case, I’m just curious besides I wanna prove if my guess is right.”
“what being curious? I can see that you are totally enjoying yourself just now….”
Makoto: “No, no, no, no”

Makoto shakes her hand and head in protest.

“I’ve something to confess, actually…” Yossi moves closer to Makoto and speaks into her ears. “Actually, I thought Ai-chan was with you.”

Makoto stares big-eyed at Yossi.

“You see, I saw her come out from your room that night… actually I didn’t really see her, I presumed she came out of your room, because only your room was lit up.”
Makoto: “when was it?”

Yossi does not want to say it, because it will be telling Makoto that she shares her similar habit of spying on people…

“recently…”
Makoto: “You are a very lousy spy, I always sleep with the lights on. Next time, do your homework first.”
“Ya, ya… so Ogawa-Bond, eto…”

(maybe I should ask her for help…)

“does your what’s that? GAYdar sense any other suspicious couple among us?”

Makoto gives Yossi a weird look that makes Yossi feels uneasy.

Makoto: “nope.”

(phew… I think I better don’t probe anymore.)

Makoto: “BUT… there are few potentials.”
“like?” Yossi cannot help asking.
Makoto: “Matsuura-san, Fujimoto-san and…”

( I knew it.)

Makoto: “and Ishikawa-san and… Yah, that’s all.”

“Ishikawa too? I can tell you , you got that wrong. I am sure of that.”
Makoto: “I think she likes you.”

(Why everyone says that?)

“No way, you know how she likes to conflict with me, we’re never on ‘good’ terms.”
Makoto: “well, may be I’m wrong, but you know she’s been watching us from her table since we step in, correction, she’s watching you.”

Yossi looks at Rika’s dressing table.

Makoto: “She just left. Oh mine, you really ain’t observant…”

*** *** ***

Takahashi caresses Risa’s hair and kisses her forehead. Risa tightens her hug. “Suki…” Takahashi whispers softly. Risa looks up and they kiss again. They look like they will go on forever till Risa manages to break away and says “rehearsals starting soon…” Reluctantly, Takahashi straightens Risa’s hair and adjusts their clothes, then she leads Risa to the exit, kisses her gently on the cheeks and says “You leave first, I’ll join you in 5 minutes, love you my dear.”

[Mikan]

YAY!! SUPER-YAY! I have been sitting on this thread waiting for an update!
Ha! Makoto with Gaydar! hahaha!

Personally I think she is the most gay in MM. Maybe more than Yossui.

[katatsumuri]

Yoshi 14

Yossi is really enjoying this concert tour. She has made 2 interesting discoveries. Aichan’s and Gakisan’s forbidden love and Makochan’s hidden ‘talent’ and she knows there is more waiting for her to unveil in this big Hello! Project family.

“Makochan, how’s today?” Yossi puts her arm around Makoto.
Makoto: “Genki yo.”
“I don’t mean that…” Yossi nudges Makoto.
Makoto: “Ano… this…”

Makoto points to Yossi’s arm around her shoulders “actually, I don’t feel comfortable when you do that.”
“Ok, sorry.” Yossi retrieves her invading arm. “Any new findings?”
Makoto: “No. Sorry Yoshizawa-san, I gotta make a move now.”

And she was gone in a second. Yossi is taken back with Makoto’s sudden change in behaviour. Still pondering, she sees Konno watching her.

(Could it be because Konkon is around?)

Yossi smiles at Konno who smiles back politely. The later quickly grabs the magazine lying on the table and makes herself busy with it.

(Am I such a pest?)

*** *** ***

Yossi steps into the shokudou, the concert tour is not helping her much in the weight department. During the long breaks between rehearsals, Yossi always ends up in here, feeding her insuppressible appetite.

Gotou: “Hello, Yossi”

Yossi nearly upsets the tray when she hears a familiar voice calling her from behind.

“Got_ gotchan, Hi.”
Gotou: “How’s life?’
“Fine, you?”
Gotou: “Good, I’m happy with it.”

(She does not look like she’s lying…)

“Good to hear that… ano… so how’s life? … oops.” Yossi bites her tongue.

Gotou laughs, her friend is still as funny.

Gotou: “well… did you have a tiff with Rikachan?’
“Eh? She told you?”

Gotou: “sort of… I was having a casual chat with her yesterday and she brought it up.”
“I raised my voice at her…”
Gotou: “no wonder… she sounded sad when she told me. She said you never shouted at her before.”
“I just snapped.”

Yossi and Gotou look at each other. The ‘snapped’ word sounds familiar, someone once said it too. But like Gotou had said, those were memories.

Yossi shifts uncomfortably in her seat. Her heart is feeling heavy, she is getting overwhelmed by emotions. Gotou seems to know what causes Yossi’s uneasiness.

Gotou: “I’ve gotten over it. I hope you do too.”

The words are like knives, opening up new wounds in Yossi’s hearts.

“Of course.”

Yossi forces a smile. Gotou smiles back.

Gotou: “Back to Rikachan. I didn’t know what actually happened, she wouldn’t say much, but she said she was sorry.”
“She said sorry?”
Gotou: “Yep, she did. We know her well don’t we, never once we hear her say sorry to anyone.”
“Yeah, now that you have told me, I do feel bad for shouting at her.”
Gotou: “So what you waiting for? Patch up with her ok? No need me to teach you, you are good at that.”

Gotou winked.

(If I am good, I wouldn’t have lost you…)

[len.chan]

[Mikan]

Huhuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ It makes me feel a little sad.

I want a happy ending to a love story but...happy endings arent real are they

Yes! Mor Makoto Moments!

Keep up the good work!

[lil_hamz]

Wow Ai-chan is so...erm how do I say it...forceful? Haha towards Risa I mean. Will something be going on between Makoto and Konno? I hope so

I really like what you are writing. In fact I think you get better with every chapter. I wish I was as good as you

[katatsumuri]

Yoshi 15

Outside the fans are chanting Yasuda’s name. Backstage, it is a teary affair. Yaguchi is sobbing uncontrollably, seeing that, some members break into tears again.

Yossi notices Rika weeping alone at a dark corner. Feeling pity for her friend, She walks up to Rika and gives her a comforting hug.

At first Rika shows some resistance but then emotions overcome her and she breaks down in Yossi’s arms.

“Daijoubu daiyo, It’s not like she is leaving us for good, she’s still in Haroporo.”
“I know… but… when I … see everyone in… tea..r.s, I just can’t …he_p…” Rika becomes muffled in her sobs.

With Rika in arms, Yossi knows it’s the best opportunity to reconcile. “Rikachan, I’m sorry.”

Rika: “nande?”
“Oh…you should know…” Yossi tries her best to make her reply sounds awkward.

Rika lets out a giggle then she thinks she must have looked funny, crying just a moment ago and giggling now.

“Ah, you guys already patch up?” Kago appears from nowhere and asks.
“What patch up?” Rika pushes herself away from Yossi and looks at Kago.
Kago: “Nothing! Nothing! See you guys later.”
Rika thins her eyes at Yossi “Care to explain why she said that?”
“I don’t know !?” Yossi shrugs.

(Rikachan…are you going to start it again??)

Rika: “Yossi, there’s nothing between us, right?”
“Yep.”
“Repeat after me, there’s NOTHING between us.” Rika says seriously
“There’s nothing between us.” Yossi swears “Absolutely.”

(Aibon… wait till I lay my hands on you…)

*** *** ***

Yossi finally has Kago cornered in the locker room.

“Yossi~ hehe…” Kago retreats till her back is up against the lockers.

Yossi raises her fists.

“Sorry!” Kago screams as Yossi’s fist lands on the locker besides her ear.

“Kowaii yo!.” Kago braves up and says when she knows Yossi has no intention of hurting her.

“You’re the kowaii one, little devil, always talking nonsense.”

Kago smiles sheepishly. “Not my fault, I’m just the spokesperson.”
“Spokesperson?”
Kago: “meaning I’m asking on behalf of otherssssss.”
“there are others? Good! SO what they want to know?”
“whether Rikachan and you are back together… (gulps)” Kago swallows her saliva.
“What back together? We were never together!”
“It’s ok, you don’t have to say it, we understand.” Kago pats Yossi’s shoulder

Kago: “Anyway we are happy you two are back together, you have our blessings.”
“Blessings?? Aibon, you guys got it all wrong.”
“It’s ok, we’ll understand, really.” Kago says as she strides out of the locker room.

(oh mine…)

Thanks len, Mikan and lil_hamz, it's really nice to read your comments, gives me motivation to write on. :)

[Elle_Driver]

I finally took the time and read your fic. I really like it so far.
Yossui's thoughts are really funny.  Great job!
