Chapter 6 - There's always me. “They’re back” Tomochin exclaimed as she stood up from her seat, aruptly ending the conversation she was having with the girl with the same name.
The manager frowned. She had taken a liking to the youngest girl and found out that they have almost the same interest except for a certain blonde midget. Seeing Tomochin so happy with Kai and Kai not reciprocating the same happiness, she suddenly had the urge to whack him or even better, to show Tomochin that Kai is like any other person, and therefore started her seduction plan.
As soon as Kai entered the room Tomomi ran towards the midget and pretended to trip, locking Kai between her body and the wall. She subtly pulled down her coat zipper revealing her cleavage.
“T-T-Tomo?” Tomochin couldn’t believe what she was seeing, it almost seemed like her newly made friend was trying to seduce the midget, her crush.
The room watched the display except for Yuko who was too busy feasting her eyes on Riku. She ran to Riku and embraced him, showering him with kisses as they both fell onto the coach.
Not again. "I have one word for you!" Yuko yelled.
"What?" An eyebrow quirked up.
Yuko licked her lips near Kojiharu's ears causing the taller girl to shiver. Yuko proceeded to bite the edge of the brunette's ear and beside it she murmured her answer. "Hot~" The taller girl froze and a red strip formed on her cheeks.
Mariko and Mii chan came together and chuckled at the scene while taking pictures.
“I’ve been observing and it seems that your manager has taken a liking to Tomochin…"
“I see, and she’s trying to get Tomochin to hate Kai, by seducing him…though I doubt it’ll work.”
Mariko looked at Kuu and noticed how cute he looked as he chuckled at Kai. “By the way your performance…I really liked it.”
Mii chan smirked without turning to look at the speaker.” How was…I?”
Mariko smiled and looked back to the front. “Kinda cute.”
Both of the girls inwardly smiled.
Tomo pushed Kai harder onto the wall so her breasts were touching the little guy’s face. She began breathing into Kai’s ears , hoping it would initiate some kind of perverted action from the blonde.
However…Takamina, not knowing what was actually happening pushed their manager back gently and asked if she was feeling okay.
Tomo just looked back, the little guy didn’t have the slightest blush on his face and he wasn’t stuttering. The manager was dumbfounded,. It had always worked, her seduction plan would always make the victims do what she wanted but this time for the first time…it failed.
Sato and Nakamura looked at the scene and acovered their face hiding the blush that formed from looking at their sexy manager.
Maeda, also stared at the scene and was equally surprised that Tomo’s seducing had no effect. She then realized that it was probably due to the fact that Kai was used to all this kind of stuff. After all, he was the worst kind of guy.
Tomochin ran towards Kai and grabbed his wrist pulling him away from Kasai.
“What is the meaning of this Tomo.” Tomochin asked, her voice dripping with anger.
“I-I just fell.”
“Yeah right.” Tomochin’s rolled her eyes
“I did. I just fell.”
“No you didn’t.
“Yes, I did.”
“No, you didn’t.”
Bowing a quick apology, Takamina took this chance to talk to Maeda. She saw Maeda on the chair by the corner and squatted down next to her.
“Are you feeling alright? Oujosama?” Maeda turned to look at Kai’s worried face.
Why is you’re asking me this, when you’ve he one that could’ve gotten hurt!“Of course.” Maeda simply replied.
“About, yesterday…if scandals do happen, I’ll take full responsibility. I won’t let it harm your caree-“
“I forgot all about yesterday.”
“Ah, that’s…good.” Takamina wasn’t sure what to say. But if something did happen because of her mistaken move yesterday, she would do anything to make it okay again.
Takamina took a glance at the item Maeda was holding and saw the strap dangling down from it. The sight made Takamina smile.
“Oujosama…” She whispered
“Oujosama, Oujosama. Why do you even call me that, it’s annoying”
However, Maeda knew full well why she was not referred to by her name, because she had told him to not to. Simple as that and Kai listened. Sometimes she just wish the blonde would break some rules.
“Just call me by my name.” the girl sighed.
Takamina’s face gleamed in happiness. “M-Maeda Oujosama!”
Maeda nodded. "Cut the Oujosama." She retorted but deep down she wanted to say more, she really wanted to tell the blonde to call her first name.
“Um…Ka-“ Maeda’s words were stopped by the opening of the door, and in stepped the diva and her producer, Sarukawa Keiji.
Persona’s manager hastily stopped her argument with the other girl and walked in front to greet the top singer. “Sarukawa senpai, Ray san. “ She said with a bow.
“Ah, well if it isn’t Kasai Tomomi, cute and sexy as ever.” He smirked and licked his lips. The room responded with a shiver of disgust.
You betta watch your disgusting mouth old man. Putting on a fake facade, Kasai smiled and nodded.
“Wow, it’s pretty crowded in here. Anyways, I would like to introduce Persona to Ray, the top selling Diva.” He said as he motioned the tall girl who rolled her eyes and walked forward, not even bothering to take off her sunglasses.
“R-Ray-san!” The black haired actress said as she raised from her chair and briskly walked forward. Her blushing face was evident and it was obvious she really admired the Diva.
“I’m a big fan. Ray san.” Maeda said as she outstretched her hand for a handshake.
Ray looked down on the girl, and slapped her hands away from her. The room was shocked with her action, except her manager who knew of the girl’s behaviour and superior attitude.
She looked around the room quickly and laughed. “You’re all a bunch of trash!” Looking back at Maeda, she grinned. “Aren’t you the slut, who seduced the director so that you could have a role in that movie?” Ray bluntly snared, her eyes glared in amusement.
SLAP
Ray quickly grabbed her reddening cheek and looked at the attacker, who surprisingly for everyone else was the midget.
“Wha-“
“Say anything like that to Maeda san and I really don’t know what you’ll in for next. How can you say something like that to her when you don’t even know anything about her. How can you say my friends are losers? You know nothing!”
Mii chan ran forward trying to control the midget which was quite ironic as usually it was the other way around. Instead Takamina swung her hand forward and escaped her sister’s grasp, her eyes still staring sternly.
“I’m Ra-“
“I don’t care who you are! If you continue to judge people like that, you’ll be lonely for the rest of your life!” Takamina stated, her eyes still staring angrily at the singer, who gave a hmph and walked out of the room with her producer.
“K-Kai?” Yuko asked, not believing what she had just heard or saw.
“Hehe, he’s in his “knight” mode.” Haruna stated. She hadn’t seen her little sister angry often and she was actually quite happy she stood up for them, well she always did. But sometimes she needed to express her feelings and not keep them bottomed up. However there is a lot more bottled up in the midget than anyone can imagine, no matter how Mii chan and Kojiharu would ask, Takamina would say she was fine.
Mii chan walked towards her sister and her arms wrapped around the midget’s shoulder. “Kai, you shouldn’t hurt a girl. But thank you.” She whispered in the midget’s ear, and was returned with a gentle squeeze to the hand.
Takamina looked towards her right and then her left. “Where’s Maeda san?” She asked.
“She just went out. Kai.” Mariko replied giving a little tap on the midget’s shoulder. “You should go look for her. We’ll meet you at home.” Kai nodded and quickly headed out the door.
(Will I see you tomorrow?) The gang consisting of Mariko, Kuu, Riku and Yuko were now sitting in their first private car, with the two Tomomi’s and bodyguards in the other car.
“NYAN NYAN!!!” Yuko screamed out of the blue, to break the awkward and gloomy mood that overtook the car.
Receiving no response from her Nyan nyan, she directed her look right in front of Riku and gave a peck on his lips. The victim’s eyes widen and she pushed the pervert away.
“W-W-What are you doing!?” Haruna stuttered, covering her mouth with her hands and away from Yuko.
“Well...you were spacing out...again! So I decided to help you.” She winked.
Haruna sighed and pouted. “You’re evil! Unlike Takamina.” She said with the last part a bit softer hoping the slip was unnoticed.
However to her dismay, Yuko always listened to every word Haruna had to say, and frowned. “Takamina?” Yuko asked, her voice lowered and it was clear she wasn’t happy.
Mii chan’s eyes widen, and Haruna just continued to day dream ignoring the pervert’s question. Mii chan decided to butt in the conversation, but stopped when she saw the sad morbid colour Yuko’s eyes had taken.
Yuko lightly embraced the spaced out girl and placed her head on Haruna’s shoulder. “I love you...you know that.” The perverted midget confessed, as she stopped herself from spilling tears. Yuko looked up to see that Kojipa wasn’t even listening.
She took her head from her bodyguard’s shoulder and placed them on the bodyguard next to her, Mii chan.
Mii chan felt the heavier weight on her and proceeded to caress the girl’s cheeks. “Don’t worry, he’ll notice.”
Yuko nodded and closed her eyes, walking into her dreamland where her Nyan Nyan and she shared a romantic night together.
Mariko who was sitting in behind Mii chan watched the scene in jealously, however as soon as it came it left, as she smirked and devised a plan. A plan called: Make Riku Jealous.
Mariko tapped Mii chan’s shoulder and told her the plan. It was simple, have Yuko pretend she and Kuu were going out, and well consequently, Riku would notice...this and her own feelings.
"AH!" Mariko raised a finger in the air, causing the passengers in the car to turn their attention on her. "We should've spied on Kai and Acchan!"
"Why didn't we think of that eariler!" Mii chan whined as they opened the door and entered their house, greeted my their bodyguards.
(Will I see you tomorrow?) “Kai was amazing! Wasn’t he? I really wasn’t expecting that from him, but woah…” Tomochin sighed, her voice full with excitement and love….
And it was irritating the other girl with the same name.
“It was pretty unexpected for that little guy.” Nakamura added.
“More like trying to act tough. I could’ve done that.” Takeru san followed, frustrated how the midget could gain so many admiration and love for little things such as this. Things that he could do, if not act out.
Tomochin sighed. “He’s different from you. Kai is the only one for me. He’s one of a kind.”
Tapping her feet Tomo laughed inwardly but did not respond to Tomochin’s ranting. She didn’t like it when that girl would talk about how amazing that Kai was. She had to admit, that little midget was amazing, but she’ll just wish Tomochin could turn to her and see the good points she had.
Tomo sighed and looked out of the car window and sighed. She had always been popular, all she needed to do was smile and she could land any guy. But this time, this time it was different, because the one she liked was a girl. Moreover, she had no idea what made her attracted to the saber tooth girl. She had no idea, why she would find the other girl cute and not feel jealous.
The manager sighed once again and closed her eyes.
Now, what can I do to make you fall for me? (Will I see you tomorrow?)Takamina exited the room and raced forward, looking left and right, hoping to find traces of Maeda, but was approached by a bunch of paparazzis. She frowned.
“KAI! That was amazing, both your singing and fighting. Can we have a quick interview?” One of the reporters said while pushing a microphone to Minami’s face.
“Kai, are you dating anyone?”
“What are Persona’s next moves?”
Kai continued to look around for the actress but found that she was too short to see anything among the tall crowd. “Maybe next time.” She stated as she pushed through the reporters who followed her.
A few minutes later, Kai lost the crowd and she sighed in relief. Her heart was set on finding the black haired actress but she had no leads, was what she thought. She settled on a bench in the nearby park and sighed and closed her eyes, listening to the soft breeze which was followed by the most beautiful voice.
Flower
Hitotsu no sono yume ga tachi ni natta
Ryout- The lyrics were soon replaced with soft sobs causing Takamina to turn around as fast as possible.
The back of Maeda, sitting on the park swing in solitary, made Takamina’s heart rumble in sadness and soon she found herself tearing up aswell. She walked slowly towards the girl and heard the actress mumbling to herself.
“It wasn’t like that. W-Why does no one believe me?” The actress’s hands which were wrapped around the swing chain tightened and Takamina unconsciously hugged the girl from behind and whispered gently in her ears.
“I believe you.” She murmured.
Atsuko’s eyes widen at the voice and her heart thumped like never before. She stood up and turned to face the midget whose eyes were red and puffy, and tears were streaming down faster than hers were.
On an impulse, the actress ran towards the midget and buried herself in his chest. She lightly hit the blonde's chest and tears flowed down her pale cheeks. “Baka."
Why are you crying aswell? After several minutes, Acchan broke their embrace and the midget took a seat on the swing next to the actress. “Your singing was beautiful.” She stated causing the black haired actress to blush.
“T-Thank you. Your performance wasn’t bad.” She replied her eyes not facing the blonde, as she fiddled with her fingers. “Say…would you help me practice my script for my upcoming drama series?” Maeda asked.
Takamina nodded and wiped a stray tear lingering on the edge of her eye. “Sure!” She exclaimed taking the given script and scanning through the booklet.
“We’ll be practising Scene 6. You’ll be the main guy, and I’m the protagonist.”
Takamina scanned through the tabbed Scene 6 and her shoulders slumped back, giving out a loud sigh.
“But, I get slapped in this….”
“You deserve it. You should never of have hit Ray san, she’s a girl.” Maeda said indifferently.
“It was on an impulse. I couldn't tolerate her insulting my friends and...you.” Takamina pouted.
Maeda found the midget’s pout undeniably cute, like a girl. “Cute.” As soon as it came out of her mouth, she wanted nothing more but to take it back in. How could she think that guy was cute!?
“What?” Takamina said, unsure of what she had just heard.
Did she just say I was cute? Hahaha, of course not. I must be hearing things. “Nothing! Let’s start.”
Takamina nodded and she threw a fist in the air. “Yosh!”
Scene 6“Why would you do that to me?” Acchan stated her hands on her heart.
“Who cares! It’s not like you love me either way.” Kai said as he took off his jacket and threw it on the ground. “ I don’t want this stupid jacket. We’re breaking up!”
Isn't this guy a bit harsh...moreover, he didn't have to throw the jacket on the ground....more importantly Maeda san...she's amazing. Maeda’s eyes widen as she picked up the jacket she gave the main guy for Christmas.
“…. Don’t leave me.”
Now in only his white shirt, Kai turned around with his back facing Maeda and laughed. “See, you’re the one who needs me. I don’t need you…at all. All this time I was just doing my job. After all you've done, I can't possibly trust someone like you.”
The black haired girl raced in front, held Kai’s sleeves and slapped him hard on the face. “How could you?” Her eyebrows curled in sadness as dropped to her knees and started crying. “How could you say that after all we've gone through? Don't you trust me?”
At this point, Takamina forgot all about the act. Seeing Maeda drop down in sadness like that was enough to make the midget forget what she was doing. Takamina dropped the script and squatted down, placing her gloved hands on top of Acchan’s, and looked at her seriously. “I trust you. I always will.” Acchan looked into her bodyguard’s eyes and was speechless. Never in her life, had she met someone with such… such honest eyes that felt like it had the power to see through her heart. Acchan frowned. How could she think someone was honest, when not long ago she hated him to the core.
Takamina’s caught the actress’s frown and immediately took her hands off from its position and gave a quick apology. She knew Maeda hated her and she knew she had to take into consideration each time of the distance between her and Maeda.
“Sorry.”
Maeda nodded, because what she wanted to say was at tip of her tongue but she couldn’t say it, she just couldn’t.
That’s not it. I want you to hold my hands. Stupid Kai…Wait, I’ve never done this before…I’ve never strayed off when I’m acting. I've never let my real emotions take over me. Why is it then I’m now…“CUT!...” Maeda took a deep breath and sighed. “Let’s go home.” Maeda said sternly as she stood up and walked off, having Kai briskly follow her in confusion.
(Will I see you tomorrow?) Sitting on the dining table, by herself as she waited for the others for dinner, Takamina opened her study book and started learning. She knew she needed to get this content in her head.
A figure approached the studying blonde, and patted Takamina’s head. The midget tilted her head up and smiled. “Tomochin…”
Tomochin took Kai by his hands and brought him up from the dining table. “I made you something…” The saber toothed girl blushed as she handed Kai a handmade knitted scarf, which she placed over his neck.
Takamina’s eyes widen and she smiled. “Thank you. I-I love this…but why?” Takamina bowed in gratitude and her eyes started welling up.
“Eh, Kai, why are you crying??”
Being the emotional Takamina, that she was, receiving gratitude was something that made her very happy, and she appreciated anything given to her, no matter what it was. Because sometimes, Takamina believed she wasn’t good enough or strong enough.
Tomochin leaned in towards Takamina and wiped her tears. Using this as an opportunity she got closer and closer, pushing her body towards the oblivious blonde’s.
Feeling a tad uncomfortable with the close proximity,Takamina leaned back a bit and as a result they both tumbled on to the ground.
A crowd of four began to emerge upon hearing the sound, and whispers began to form, most between Mii chan and Mariko.
“Doesn’t this look interesting?!”
“Wasn’t Maeda warming up to Kai…If Maeda sees this, she’ll hate Kai again...” Mii chan stated as she took out her phone.
“Drama~” Mariko and Mii chan sang as they fist punched one another lightly, their face beamed with anticipation and smiles.
“Nyan Nyan! Looks like they’re taking a closer step to us!!!” Yuko said as she clung onto Kojipa’s arm while jumping up and down.
On the other hand, Kojiharu looked at the scene in front of her, and a disturbed sense of anger began to bubble inside her. She was no longer concentrated on Yuko, instead she clenched her teeth and proceeded to take Tomochin off of her sister. Furthermore she knew this was an accident, but somehow seeing someone on top of her sister like that didn’t seem right.
“Nyan Nyan! Where are you going?!” Upon hearing Yuko’s words, she snapped out of it and her head bobbed down.
What was I doing? It was an accident. Why is this feeling still here! “Ouch.” Takamina yelped as she tried to pick herself up, but realized her body was heavier than usual. She opened her eyes and looked up to find Tomochin’s eyes locked to hers.
“Tomochin. Sorry. Are you hurt?” Takamina asked.
Tomochin was completely content with the position they were in, but the fact that Kai was not feeling in any sense uncomfortable or awkward annoyed her. The blond wasn’t even blushing!
“K-K-Kai….Kiss me?” Tomochin said, her position remained the same.
“HAI?” Takamina answered, not really knowing what was happening.
Tomochin leaned in; heart was beating so fast she really thought it was going to burst right out. She was so close so close to the oblivious midget but instead her lips was met with Takamina’s hands.
“Um...Kisses are for lovers aren’t they?” Kai asked, still trying to get up.
Tomochin blinked a couple of times and pouted. “Yeah, that’s why-“
“Looks like there won’t be any dinner or bed, for little Kai tonight!” Anger seethed through the voice of the speaker.
Quickly Tomochin stood up and helped Kai up. As soon as she saw Kai’s slight blushed face, she was red and in love, Tomochin gave a fast chaste kiss on Kai’s cheeks, and because Kai is Takamina, she took it for a friendship kiss and nothing more. (Poor Tomochin)
Takamina took a large gulp and slowly turned behind, coming face to face to a very angry Acchan. “Maeda…”
SMACK
The room trembled in silence, each individual looked closely at the unbelievable scene that unfolded before them. Sato Takeru, who was initially in his room, ran out hearing the sudden silence.
Takamina turned her head back to the front but her eyes avoided Acchan’s eyes, her cheek burning sensation from the slap, which she covered with her hand.
“Gome-“
“What are you doing to Kai!” Tomochin cried as she flashed forward pushing Acchan back.
“Tomochin, listen carefully. This guy, he’s not as simple as you think, he’s trying to trick you and your emotions. He’ll make you trust him and take advantage of you! You’ve gotta wake up!” Acchan exclaimed
“No, you’ve gotta wake up! Don’t speak when you know nothing.” Her sister screamed back.
"He's playing with our emotions! I saw him cry when you gave him that scarf, he cried before aswell! How can someone cry that easily! It's all an ACT!"
"Maeda san!" Mii chan cut in. "You are totally and completely, 100% wrong about my brother! Kai is the nicest person you'r-"
“FINE! I don't get his "kindness" anyways. We’re switch bodyguards NOW! Take him Tomochin, and then everyone will know who’s right!!” Maeda screamed back, her tone just as strong and loud. She glared at the midget and proceeded to walk away.
“M-Maeda!” Takamina yelled grabbing onto the actress’s shirt. Acchan swung her arms around and subsequently hitting Takamina again.
“I never want to see you again.” Maeda eyed the girl and Takamina’s temperature dropped as if he heart and soul was just frozen from those words.
(Will I see you tomorrow?) “I’ve did some research and the person planning all the murder is just one person. I still can’t find his name, but I’ve hacked into their system and I found out that that person’s creating some sort of virus and injecting it in the murders. That’s why they always disappear after the murders committed. Ah~ done my bit, going to sleep now~” Kojiharu stated as she flopped back on her bed which the other two sisters were also sitting on.
“You’re so cute, Kojipa.” Takamina stated as she forced a laugh.
Kojiharu blushed, even though she knew this was not a good time. “Takamina, you’re turning manlier.”
“Hahaha” Takamina attempted a laugh, hoping the others won't notice any changes.
But instead it caused the other two to frown.
Mii chan jumped on top of Takamina and began tickling her. “Takamina~~” Kojiharu sat up on the bed and smiled at the scene and at Takamina’s smile.
Finally after a while, Mii chan got out off Takamina, and continued her research bit. Takamina wiped away the tears that formed from laughing and listened, while laying her head on Kojiharu’s lap.
“Ok, that guy is conducting experiments on the murders and injecting viruses, but what’s more is that, he’s planning for something big, and something so big, even though Haruna managed to hack into it, the whole document is in some kind of code. A code not even I can break.”
Takamina sat up, and her eyes widen. “What is he planning….Guys have you found the lab?”
“Unfortunately not.” Mii chan replied. “But I’ve looked at the dates of the murders and it seems that the next murder will take place next week’s Wednesday night, 8:08 exactly. The location will be….here. “
Takamina’s eyes widen and a deep sense of fear embraced her.
“N-Nooo…you’re kidding.”
“Takamina….”
“We’ve got to protect them. Before then, Kojipa, I want you to create gadgets which Miichan will think will be useful. Mii chan, you’ll be in charge of setting traps around the house. I’ll prepare a plan for the attack.”
Their leader looked awfully calm...but they both knew, deep down, fear was already eating Takamina away.
The two sisters looked at each other and nodded towards their leader.
