------------------------------
“Well uh…” Miki the snake tilted her head towards herself and coiled on the floor.
“Do I need to ask what the HELL just happened to you?” Reina twitched her wonky eye.
“Yossie!” Miki turned to the said person, and slithered instantly towards her. “You can explain better than I can!” and slithered up Yossie’s leg.
“Get off me! Get off me!” Yossie grabbed the fly-swatter that conveniently hung next to the door and swatted at the Miki-hebi, even though the groping devil was in snake mode, the so-called tomboy of Morning Musume still could not stand snakes. With a hiss of disappointment, Miki slithered back over the top of her clothes.
“So explain!” Reina looked at Yossie.
“Well uh… Miki’s cursed you see. Asides from uh… naturally having golden eyes, and a tattoo of dragon wings on her back, and actually being able to grow them; however, for some reason, she turns into a snake if there’s sudden temperature change, or if she gets kissed (I tried once and uh, you can guess what happened) and such…She’s the Miki we know and love!” Yossie explained in a very feminine manner, eyeing the Miki-hebi cautiously.
“That’s…cool I guess, but why hide it?” Reina turned to look at Miki-hebi.
“Actually, I’m not the only one cursed, there’s seven more within Hello Project with this curse.”
Reina looked at the ceiling and raised her fist in the air, “Damn Tsunku! I knew he was up to no good!”
“Ah! Don’t blame him! He has nothing to do with this!” Miki-hebi waved her tail dismissively, “but nonetheless, what you saw here must not go around. It will create a huge mess if everyone knew!”
“Nah, your secret’s safe with me, but who are the other cursed members?” Reina loomed closer.
“Sorry! That’s a secret kept from you!” Miki waved her tail yet again.
“How do you turn back to normal anyway?”
“Well…it comes—” another poof of blue smoke; Reina jumped at the sudden outburst of energy, and landed right on Miki’s bed. When the smoke dispersed again… Miki stood there, no longer a snake, “…It comes randomly, but the longest is maybe five minutes.”
Yossie could not help but snicker. “My my, aren’t we being a little too direct Miki-chan?” the leader gazed.
“And as you know, we’re completely naked afterwards,” Miki growled before picking up her clothes and stomping off to the bathroom. As she turned, Reina caught a glimpse of the aforementioned winged tattoo on Miki’s back. There were five small tattoos of wings, each located at areas Reina guessed the wings would’ve sprouted out.
“The five wings,” Yossie began,twirling the fly swatter, “represent the fact that Miki is reincarnated from the fifth head of the Orochi.”
“The legend of Orochi? You’ve got to be kidding me.” Reina grasped her forehead with her hands. “I’ve had enough of 1, kissing Miki, 2, seeing her as a snake, 3, seeing her naked, and 4, watching you flirt with her!”
Yossie could only chuckle at Reina’s response. “Well, like she said, keep it a secret, kay?”
“Yeah yeah,” Reina tilted her head backwards, before getting smacked in the chest by something hard. “Dammit!”
“It’s the blow dryer you wanted. Now, get out.”
