Tee hee
Chapter 14: The DoorReina groggily reached for the obligatory schedule at her door’s floor and looked at it. “Oh. We’re doing a lot of familiar songs for the new tour…” Reina stumbled backwards and landed on her bed. “But do we seriously need dance practice over it? Koharu-chan’s got it all down, and so do we…” She rolled over her bed to relieve herself of boredom. “I wonder when we’ll record the new songs…”
She got up and looked in the mirror to make sure that her appearance was efficient. As a finishing touch, Reina looked at her necklace stand, and picked out her favorite: the black cross outlined with silver metal; in other words, the cross Maki gave her.
“Hm… What to do now… I have until 1PM before rehearsals begin…”
BAM.
“I want… My hair dryer back…” Miki huffed, pulling her foot out of the door that now lay torn from its hinges.
“My door…?” Reina sat up looking at her poor door which now had a hole in it. (( ;_; ))
“So, when do you plan to give my hair dryer back? You’ve had it for a week now!”
“My door…”
“Or should I just go grab it now?” Miki stroked her imaginary mustache.
“…My door…”
“Bah, management could pay for a new one,” Miki waved her hand dismissively.
“…But my door…” ((;________; ))
“…I’ll pay for it.”
“Lately, my room has been destroyed lately. I wonder why the heavens conspire against my room so!” Reina let out a sad sigh.
“…I said I’d pay for it,” Miki raised a brow. “Nonetheless, I’m going to get my hair dryer back, thank you,” she frolicked to Reina’s bathroom and found her dear possession; afterwards, she left the room.
“…My door…” Reina stood next to the fallen door with a hole in it.
Just then, a familiar ring of a FLAMES ringtone came. Reina only had to turn her waist and reach for her cellphone on the counter. Seeing the name on the caller ID, she flipped it open and enthusiastically said, “Hello!”
“I’m going to Korea!” the person on the other line squealed excitedly.
“Seriously?” Reina’s eyes widened, “When?”
“Well, it’s only a four day stay. I’ll be busy all throughout, with photoshoots with the Korean magazines, some show recordings, and recording two songs in Korean for the entire day depending if I nail the pronunciation.”
“And when are you leaving and coming back?” Reina sat on her bed yet again, attempting to ignore her door on the floor.
“I’m leaving in the next two days, but coming back after the full four days, so that means you’ll see me right after.”
“You’re so lucky…” Reina flopped backwards on the bed, “You get to eat yakiniku in its motherland…”
Maki laughed on the other end of the line. “So, want to come down to the cafeteria for breakfast? It’s rice, vegetable, miso soup, fish, nimono and natto.” (Nimono = boiled foods, natto = fermented soybean paste, which is really sticky and stinky)
“All right,” Reina felt herself brighten up, “I’ll meet you at the stairs then?”
“Okay! See you then!” and then Maki hung up. Reina closed her phone and stuck it in her pocket and did one last mirror check before leaving her room.
As Reina walked in the hall, she saw attendants with a new door, probably to replace her broken door. Although they were idols, their apartment had the worst doors ever. Regardless of looking fancier than most casual doors, it was very easy to break a door. Even a simple smack of a hammer could crack the wood severely.
Maki was waiting right at the stairs, just as she had said. She and Reina greeted each other warmly before heading down the stairs into the café of the apartment. They chatted about trivial things (And the fate of Reina’s unfortunate door) as they walked along. When they got to the café, there were already people digging into their breakfast. Nozomi, Masae, Megumi, and pretty much Morning Musume without the leader and sub-leader were seated and eating.
Reina and Maki went over to the main table, picked up a plate, and selected what they wish to eat from the buffet table. They chose to sit at the table with Nozomi for the duration of their breakfast time.
“I hear you’re going to Korea!” Nono said in between bites.
“So, do you intend on bringing any souvenirs?” Reina asked before biting the rice.
“Of course I do,” Maki simply said, before diving in her…banquet of food.
“Jeeez, where does all the food go? You and Nono eat so much!”
“Gomaki’s food goes to her boobs, I bet!” Nozomi laughed, smacking the aforementioned objects with the back of her hand before returning to eat.
“I’m trying to eat!” Maki also laughed.
“But normally, you eat much more than me! So that means one day, they will explode!” Nono narrowed her eyes and smiled a mischievous smile.
“I would laugh if that actually happened!” Reina joined in on the laughter.
“Heeey~! I’m seriously trying to eat!” Maki said, a little more concentrated on the food now.
“My my, what an energetic morning…” Yossie yawned, “why the objections, Maki?”
“My boobs will NOT explode…” Maki went shifty-eyed, continuing to eat her mini-banquet.
“…Okay?” Yossie raised a brow, “So, I’m assuming the food you ate will come out?” Yossie smirked as she sat with them.
“Yeah! It’ll come out and stab you in the eyes if my meal is interrupted further,” Maki smirked back at Yossie.
“Oh my gahh,” Yossie laughed, “My life was threatened by the possibility of Gotou Maki’s boobs exploding!” and the whole table laughed heartily.
Eventually, the majority of the people eating in the café dropped vastly. Even Maki and Reina had already left, probably to do some morning shopping. The only people left were Yossie, Miki (Who came in shortly after almost everyone left), and Megumi, to which they shared a table for sake of conversation.
“Nice job!” Miki laughed, “and to think you’d be wiser just because you’re a few years older…”
“Ah…but at heart, I’m probably younger than you both?” Megumi looked up and sighed, “Oh the wonders of youth…”
“Youth is wonderful, yes, but when you say it like that, I can’t help but think otherwise,” Yossie laughed.
“Ah… Reina-chan knows of my Orochi status now.”
“Really?” Miki became a bit intrigued, “Did you manage to lay your lips upon her like Maki and I did?” Miki’s mouth widened into a sneer.
“No, it was the weather,” Megumi sighed, “Ah… the lips of youth…I wonder what they would have taste like…”
“This goes beyond thinking otherwise, you scare me when you talk about it like that,” Miki went shifty-eyed.
“Oh!” Yossie’s face perked up, “Ojou-sama is thinking of introducing herself to Reina today. That or tomorrow.”
“Ah…Seriously?” Megumi looked at Yossie, “Let us hope that Reina-chan does not see the other side of Ojou-sama…”
“Well… Reina at the moment, she’s the kind who seems to view life as a stream that she flows with. She apparently doesn’t care about anything at the moment, only moves on,” Yossie raised a finger, “So maybe she
will be alright. I don’t think she gets mad that easily, so even if Ojou-sama gets a little frisky, Reina might be able to let it slide…”
“Some logic you have there,” Miki placed her hands behind her head and leaned back.
“Yes, but I’ve been watching Reina! …As my duty being the leader that is,” Yossie quickly added on.
“Wow, you sound like a stalker,” Miki muffled a giggle.
“Ah…It’s amazing no one has arrested you yet,” Megumi added in.

“Bah. The new door creaks too much,” the wonky eyed teen twitched as she closed the door. When she got to her beloved bed, she tilted her head towards the digital clock near it reading eight o’clock. “Wow, that late already?” she turned her head yet again to relax her face on the soft fabric. Her rest was interuppted when her cellphone rang with a brief tone, indicating an unread text message.
She flipped it open, and read the message to herself, “Meet at her room?” Reina scratched her head. “Then again… She’s also the one I saw when I was locked out of the balcony door…” Reina tilted her head in the direction.
Reina got up and did a mirror check before exiting her room. There was that enigmatic aura about her that time…
Reina went up the stairs.
This person… who makes the decisions for the Orochi I'm guessing...She walked down the hallway quietly as to not attract attention.
The head, that’s the one who hurt Iida-san in the past…She finally reached the end of the hallway, and looked at the door almost contemptuously.
Is there something about her the Orochi can’t go against?Reina knocked the door, and heard a confirmed voice that welcomed her in, and turned the knob.
Their Ojou-sama…Before Reina stepped in, she took one last glance at the name plate next to the door: Ishikawa Rika.
