Chapter one:
Ohayou
The morning light seeped through the window of a young girl's room. She was fast asleep, muttering things to herself, holding a Tsukushima Kirari doll. In fact, this girl's room was full of Kirarin Revolution merchandise. The DVDs, the posters, the plushies, the OSTs, the two singles that were used as opening and ending themes, and the mini-album. She also owned exact replica outfits that were worn by Kirari's voice actress. This wasn't because the girl liked to cosplay as Kusumi Koharu, it was because this girl
was Kusumi Koharu.
As the alarm clock by her bed struck 8:30AM, the familiar beeping filled the room, growing louder and louder. Koharu opened her eyes, blinked a few times and looked around the room. Yawning and rubbing her eyes, she slowly got out of bed, leaving her Kirari doll next to her pillow.
"That's right.." Koharu muttered. "I have another Balalaika event today..."
She sighed, changing out of her pyjamas and into fresh undergraments. Koharu walked over to her wardrobe and took out the bright yellow and orange Balalaika outfit. Yawning once more, she put it on. At first, she had found it complicated to put this outfit on and take it off. But Koharu was used to it now. It was certainly better than the Koi Ka na outfit, even though that was simpler..
Koharu walked over to her door and exited her room.
"Koha, where are you going?" Michishige Sayumi asked. Sayumi was a fellow member of Morning Musume, however, Sayumi had joined two years before Koharu had, along with Kamei Eri, Fujimoto Miki, and Tanaka Reina.
"Sayu? Oh, I have an event for Balalaika today."
"Eh? Right now?" Sayumi asked, dissapointment in her voice.
"Well, it's not for another two hours.."
"Should you be eating in it? What if you wreck it?"
"I don't feel like eating.." Koharu replied, ask Reina walked past.
"Kohaaa... it is because of your you-know-what?"
Unfortunately, Reina was within earshot and hurried to join Koharu and Sayumi. "But Kohacchi doesn't have her--" however, Reina broke off at the deadly look on Koharu's face.
"Shut up, Reina." Koharu glared.
"Oh, then again.. Sayu!" Reina's eyes widened.
"What what?"
"Someone left a bag of tampons in the bathroom. I'm thinking of playing a joke on Yossie."
"Not Leader!" Sayumi giggled. "Obachan!"
"Really? Why Yuko-senpai?" Reina asked.
"Because she's
old!"
Koharu left Sayumi and Reina to go about their business. Instead, she walked into the bathroom to get ready for her event. Sure enough, as Reina had said, there was a bag of tampons sitting on the windowsill behind the toilet.
