"Everyone on set in five minutes!" Shouted the staff guy.
The girls were still preparing, putting some makeup and doing their hair. This was an interview today with the general, and few more girls who had an actuality recently.
"Miichan, you have forget your glasses" said Minami, giving it to the gachapin.
"Oh, thank you Takamina, I'm not very awake this morning."
She smiled and looked at the general, she seemed very tired and sad, but she was like always, perfect in her leader rôle.
"Don't ask me if I'm alright or it would be the third time already" said Minami.
"Don't blame me, I'm worried, like everyone here!"
"I know, but I'm okay. Girls! On set!"
They sat beside the presentator and smiled.
"Hi everyone, we're today with the famous girls of AKB48 for an hour and we have a lot of questions for them!"
It was going well, the girls were funny and the time was passing by. Sometimes Mariko or Haruna was discreetly checking on Takamina to see if she was doing okay, but this one was being professional and was all smiling.
"So, General Manager, tell us how AKB is going now after the shuffle and Maeda Atsuko's graduation. Do you see her now that she is no longer in AKB?"
The all group frozed, they could feel the tension of them all. But Minami smiled and answered properly.
"Well, it was a very big change for the group, we were a little moved by all this but in the end it's still AKB and we have to move on, so much things to do^^ And yes, we still see Aachan when our shedule are okay, she's still part of our team and a great friend to us all so..."
Yes...I did it, it was hard but I'm glad that no one noticed how I felt. I even said her name...Atsuko...
Yuko went home after the reherseal, she was a little tired and starving. She opened the front door and came into the living room. It was all dark in here, the tv was on and she recognize the tokyo dome concert on the screen. More precisely the Atsumina duet part.
She found Atsuko on the sofa, sleeping, with makeup tears on her cheeks. Yuko sighed and turn off the tv, and then crouched next to the Ace.
"Aachan..." she called her softly.
"Hm..."
"Aachan, wake up..."
"Ah, Yuko..."she whispered, opening her eyes slowly.
"Why are you here, you should be in your bed, you're gonna hurt your back like this."
She sat on the couch and took the sleepy Aachan between her legs to massage her back.
"Wow you're so tense... "
"It's because of the drama, we're doing a lot of action scene those days..."
"Be careful, you're fragile so don't hurt yourself!"
She massaged her friend slowly, trying to relax her.
"How is Minami?"
Yuko stopped her hands a second. She was expecting this question but not so fast, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Good...Actually she said your name out loud today...without crying."
"Yuko..."
"I'm sorry Aachan, but I don't know what to say...She's bad, but it's Takamina, she's our leader and general so she doesn't show her feelings at work, even when we ask her she deny it. She's bad but she doesn't want to talk about it..."
"…"
"You should talk to her. I know you, you love her, I don't understand why you don't do anything..."
"I can't."
"Why?!"
"I'm ashamed. And scared that she won't love me again."
"Gosh, why do you have to be so dramatic all the time you two... Now go take a shower, I'm gonna cook you something."
Atsuko obeyed and left. Yuko waited for her to be in the shower before taking her phone to make an urgent call.
"Mariko, we have to oraganize one of those trap because those two are not capable to be adultes... Yes, tomorrow. Tell Minami that we need to talk about something for the group, I'm taking care of Aachan, and we meet in a bar, okay?"
She hang up, relief that something will be done for that matter. Now she has to cook something for this baka.
The doorbell rang and the woman came to the door, suprised by this. Who could possibly visiting her at this thime?
"Miichan!" She smiled.
"Mou, don't call me like that Mom, I'm too old for this! Pouted Minami."
She came into her childhood house and smiled, it was good to be home. She had her own appartement for three years now, it was a way to be and feel more adult but sometimes she missed her old bedroom and her mom dishes.
"So, you finally have the time to pass by, it's good" said her mother, sitting at the kitchen table, followed by her daughter.
"I'm sorry, this month had been crazy you know..."
"I know, it's okay, I just wish I'd see you more."
She looked at Minami with really sweet eyes, happy to see her and proud to see how pretty she was. But something was missing, something was wrong.
"I'm gonna make you a big katsudon, but you have to tell me what's wrong with Atsuko, she said, frowning and standing up to cook."
"Mom! How do you know?!"
"I always know! I know your « AKB is tiring » face, your « I'm not a good leader » face and I surely know your « It's not okay with Atsuko » face^^"
Minami sighed. She felt a bit guilty to come here because she was sad and looking for her mom affection and tips, but it was good to see that she knew her so much, and she felt secured.
She waited for her katsudon to tell her mom. It was delicious, as always.
"Atsuko came back from New York and she went at my place. It was really good to see her again, she seemed happy and tired. And then I asked her if I could use her laptop and when I was writing, I was a chat between her and an american guy, it was weird..."
"Weird? Why?"
"Dunno... He was really intimate with her, calling her pretty girl and said something about a kiss..."
"… So you are angry right now? Did you ask her who he was?"
"No, I left. I couldn't face her at the moment, it was so painful Mom! I didn't expect that at all, it was only few hours after she arrived, and then I see that and my brain just stopped... I know I propably should have listen to her, everyone is telling me this since that day, but I'm so afraid that it's because she found someone else or because she wants to go in america! I don't find the courage to face the reality. "
"Miichan... I know you, and I know Aachan, she's a great girl, she loves you. I don't know what's going on, and maybe she did something bad, but you can't stay like this. You have to face the truth."
"I know."
"You're gonna take a bath, relax and then you'll sleep in your old bed, it could be good for you, rest."
"But I have to get up early tomorrow and..."
"I know, I will let you go, just for one night, stay with me and relax, okay?"
"Okay" sighed Minami.
It was good to be home.

Atsuko left the bathroom in a white towel and came in the kitchen, drying her her.
"Ah Aachan" said Yuko "and then she looked at her and smiled. You're lucky I have Nyan-Nyan, isn't your boobs bigger than before?"
"Yuko, you're always such a pervert!"
"Not true! I'm just enjoying the human beauty. Everyone like boobs!"
"Not as much as you^^"
"It's a shame. Girls are perfect, we should look at them and tell them more."
The Ace laughed, it was actually the first time since that day, and it was good.
"Ne, Aachan, me and the team we're going to the « Cafe bar » tomorrow, wanna come?"
"Hm...I don't know, I don't really feel like partying..."
"Come on, we miss you, we just want to be with you again" pouted Yuko.
"Hm...okay!" She smiled. It was good to have all this friends next to her. After all, if she could forget this story for one night, it would be a relief.
She was relaxing in her hot bath, smelling the good sent of perfume and shampoo. It smelled like her childhood, like peace and security. She thought about the time she was a kid, sat in a corner of her room, dreaming all day. It was a nice time of her life, but the happiest was when she had joined AKB48. She was young and a little shy but being in this group had been the best idea she had. It was of course the first time she met everybody of the first generation, and of course, Aachan.
Immediatly she liked everyone in there and wanted to help them all pursuing their dreams. Apparently they liked her too and it was naturally that she slowly took the role of the leader.
She always prefered Atsuko, even if she never said it, of course. They were all her friends but Atsuko was different. She was like a promise to something different, something big and not expected.
She seemed always so lost in her lalaland, dreaming but always serious about work. Minami had wanted to protect her right away, know her and be her friend. And it hab been done quiet naturally, they were always together, in AKB and during their free time, always on the phone or talking by mail. Atsuko never took a decision without consulting Minami, and the leader was always taking care of her. This was friendship until the midget understood that she wanted more than that. She wasn't gay, she just had chosen Atsuko to be the person she wanted to take care of, and love for the rest of her life. In the beginning she was loving her in silent, because it wasn't easy to say and because Aachan was her friend, and she was to afraid to lose her by confessing her love. But then Atsuko had said this the snowing day, and it changed everything. Well, not really, but they were lovers, secretly and it was the most important time of her life, being here, in AKB with Aachan, seeing her everyday... After the graduation it was different but still, they were loving each other more than anything. Well...Maybe now it was a one-side love...
Update soon now that I'm in a story hundred per cent^^
