It's amazing how some of you just assumed that Ai-chan was daydreaming about Reina
Oh come on guys it couldn't be so simple
After all it's Ai-chan and don't forget that I'm the person who set up Gaki with Koha
The Dreamer
We arrive at the Omiya sonic City and of course we are late. We spent half an hour in a traffic jam. No wasting time we rush to the stage. But in the corridor we bump into our manager.
“At last! Quickly go to that room and try on your stage clothes. Check if everything fits well and start the practice. “ Not asking any questions we enter the room.
Gosh...I thought that after yesterday it will be easier for me to face her in situations like this. So why am I so stiff and embaressed? She is changing right behind my back...So close yet so far away...Ok just don’t turn around...Gah! It’s so hard. If only we were alone here...I thought that it wil be easier? How naive of me...
As I make sure that everything fits perfectly I leave the room and decide to wait for girls on stage.
Suddenly, I hear someone’s steps quickly approaching me from behind.
“Ai-chan~!” A familiar happy voice calls out to me.
“Rika-chan!” Right v-u-den is also here. I totally forgot about them since they are staying in a diffrent hotel.
“How our leader is doing? Nervous before the tour?” She asks with an evil grin on her face.
Can someone explain to me why all the senpais are teasing me about this?
“Not at all. It’s just another tour. No big deal.” I state trying to hint her that it was an absurd question to ask.
“How confident our little Ai-chan became. There, there I didn’t intend to make you angry. It’s just, I still didn’t get use to it.”
Yeah...Me too...
“Honestly who would have thought that you would become the next leader.”
“Are you saying that I am not good enough to be the leader?” I suspiciously look at her.
“Ano...No of course not , but you know everyone expected that Miki will be next. However, maybe it’s better this way since you are certainly more responsible than she is.”
Responsible, huh? Yeah, right...Especially after what I did yesterday.
I sigh at this thought. Why everything has to be so complicated?
“Ai-chan is something troubling you?”
Crap I forgot about Rika’s sixth sense. She can always tell when something is bugging you.
“No. I’m fine.” I put on my brightest smile but I know that it’s really hard to decive her.
“Are you sure? Cause you know, if you have some kind of problem you can always count on me.” She says in concern.
“Ai-chan.” Gaki passes by showing me that they are ready.
“Thanks Rika. I‘ll keep that in mind.” I give my senpai a friendly hug and join my bandmates.

“What’s wrong with you today?!”
The choreographer is really pissed off at us today. She is yelling all the time. She almost made Aika cry, though she is doing well and it’s not her fault that some of us can’t focus on dancing.
“Gaki, Koharu quit spacing out! Tanaka, Takahashi stop yawning every five seconds, Shige, Kame you too. Focus girls! You know the steps. We were practising them every day. And yet you do so many stupid mistakes. You even forget the lyrics! I mean, honestly you have a concert tomorrow. If you are intending to perform like that you can right away return money for the tickets to your fans cause probably they won’t be satisfied with such a performance. You have thirty minutes to pull yourself together or we will cancel the concert.”
Great if Tsunku finds out we are dead. I hope she won’t inform him.
I lay down on the floor. I’m soooo exhausted. I’ve barley slept from obvious reasons and we were dancing for half an hour without a break. But anyway where is my partner in crime?
My eyes scan the space around me warily.
Oh there she is talking with Sayu. Probably demanding explanations for her and Eri’s morning action.
“Aww...”
I wonder why she didn’t sat next to me in the car? All this is so strange...Ai araba is alright? I wish it would be so easy...Who am I to you Tanaka? I hope I will get the answer soon...
“Ai-chan.” A soft voice brings me back from my sleep.
It’s...It’s Nakazawa-san! And she is straddling me! What the hell! Is she drunk?! Or am I drunk and I’m having hallucinations...But I don’t remember drinking anything...
“Nakazawa-san what are you doing here?!”I ask anxiously. If someone sees us like this...
“Don’t worry we are alone.” I look around. She is telling the truth. But it doesn’t really change anything!
“Where...”
“Shhh...”She places her finger on my lips.
“They went out to eat something. Now tell me, what is going on here?” Huh? I should be the one asking this question! “ Tsunku called me casue your choreographer told him that you weren’t doing well on practice...”
Great Tsunku sends the H!P leader to check on me...It never happened to Yossy...It never happened to anyone! I’m so useless!
“Oh don’t be sad. Tell me what is the a reason of your distraction?”
No way...I can’t tell her the truth...
“Now you’re the reason of it...” I mutter sheepishly. She just smirks.
I couldn’t say it more firmly, could I?! Ugg!
“You know what? I‘ll forget about everything and tell Tsunku that the choreographer was wrong about you but...”
I’m really scared of her next words...
“You will have to give me a kiss... on the cheek...”
On the cheek? Just on the cheek?...Hmm... Guess it can be done...It’s better than being scolded by angry Tsunku...
I place my hands on her waist to bring myself closer to her and...
“Ai-chan!!! Let go of me!”
“Gaki?!” I scream in terror as I open my eyes. I quickly sit upright and... my forehead has a close meeting with Gaki’s nose...
“Itai!” She crys out jumping aside from me.
“Gomenasai Gaki-chan! I didn’t mean to. Are you alright?” I crawl closer to her and check if she bleeds. Her eyes are filled with tears but she doesn’t bleed. Thank God!
“Baka! What were you doing?” I scold her.
“What I was doing?!”
Oops Gaki is mad...
“You lay here, making weird sounds and when I’m trying to wake you up you grab me then try to kiss and eventually you smash my nose with your head! And you dare to ask me what I was doing?!”
“Gomene?” I grin a dumb smile.
“Besides you lied to me...” She lowers her voice, putting on a more sad tone.
“What? When? ”
I lied to her only once in my life. When I told her that she couldn’t go into the dressing room, because Yossy and Miki were having a serious conversation. Of course they weren’t talking at that time as you can’t talk with someone while having your toung stuck in that person's mouth and undressing her...Gah! I always choose the worst moment to show up... However I promised to cover for them since they didn’t want to tell anyone yet.
But she can’t be refering to that.
“You told me yesterday you would rest properly and obviously you didn’t.”
Those sad eyes....I feel terrible...
I throw my hands around her neck and hug her. Partly, because of the guilt that dwells up inside me and partly, because I don’t want to look into her eyes.
“Gomenasai Gaki-chan. I went to Reina and our conversation.” I hesitate. I can’t tell her the truth. She isn’t ready for that. I’m not ready...” Took longer then I thought.”
“So in that case I have to scold Reina...” I giggle.
I know she is joking. We stand up and to my surprise Reina is standing next to us. She gives us a death glare. Her fists clenched ready to attack. I’ve seen her angry before but now she is literally furious. What’s more she seems to be so angry with me or rather with us...I look at Risa. Normally, I would laugh seeing her being so terrified but somehow I’m also feeling uneasy..
“Ok girls! Break’s over!”
Saved by the bell...
“Tsk.” Reina hisses through her clenched teeth.
I get back to practise totally confused...
