Binetsu Shoujo: Part 01. [version 1.1] It's 7:56am (or 7:23 in the tankoubon version) in Tokyo. In a train station, Rina finishes putting on some lipstick... she is very worried she looks ridiculous, but her two female friends are more than ready to take her out of the lady's toilet already because today... Today is the day Rina decided to talk with the guy she likes! And of course she's just a sack of nerves! She wants to look older (after all she's only going to the last year in school) and nice to the guy. She doesn't even know the guy's name (^^;;; )but she thinks he really looks cool (he does ^^;;; ). As she approaches him and his group of friends, she thinks that today she will finally take the last step and talk to him but... Nerves fail and she runs back to her friends. One of Rina's friend is tired of this and decides to go talk with the guy herself, but Rina is very embarrassed and doesn't want her to. But Rina doesn't realize that they have arrived to the guy's side and with a little push her friend sends her crushing directly against the guy's back! He turns around. She blushes. She excuses herself and tries to say something else. He smiles encouragely. His friends go to him and ask who she is. She opens her mouth to say something and... "Rinaaa~~~!" Her mother appears in the plataform calling for her (-_-;). It seems Rina forgot her flute and they have a test today... Rina can't believe it and hides behind a wall while her mother (in apron) wonders where the hell she went. Poor Rina is really embarrassed because of this and feels like crying in frustration, but somebody takes her hand and pulls from her to the train. The door closes right behind her and she looks at her "savior", a nice-looking guy with dark hair. He tells her how much she stands out (from the crowd) and proceeds to give her her flute. He even knows her name, Rina-chan! The cool guy appears at the stranger's side and jokes with him. Rina blushes furiously... so the stranger is the cool guy's friend! It's really too much for the poor girl, she can just imagine them joking about her and her... em... flute... And they even know her name! The shame of it all.... She starts to feel strange and feverish and faints... But the stranger noticed something was wrong with her and catches her up right in time. Unfortunately for him, he ends up sitting in the floor of the train, with Rina sprawled all over him and with noticeable scratches on his neck courtesy of Rina's nails when she fainted (for not talking about the shirt of the poor man--or better, what is left of it... ^^;; ) Once in Shinjuku station, outside the train and with Rina back to normal, the girl can't stop asking for forgiveness. She offers to compensate for his shirt, but he says it's ok and walks away with the rest of his friends. Rina's friends try to console her but she thinks she really messed it up well. But, to her surpise, the cool guy goes back to them and gives Rina a VIP pass for her and her friends to go see his band playing live at their school! Rina's friend are so happy about this... (^^) At the same time, the cool guy teases the stranger about Rina, but the stranger denies everything... until the guy tells him that he has lipstick from the girl on his neck and that it's a very sexy color... the stranger flushes like hell and rubs it off as fast as possible. (*grin*) Rika looks at the VIP pass, the cool guy has scrawled all over it and besides cutery-ishly thingees he also wrote "I'm Usami Hiro, nice to meet you!". Rina is really happy now because she finally knows his name, Hiro! The night of the concert the three girls go to their VIP seats very excited (front file!). Behind them, some students take pity on them poor victims... Rina hears that and starts to wonder what on Earth.... But the concert starts and it claims all her attention! "Hiro"-san (wearing nothing on the top) and another member jump to the stage... "Hiro" is soo cool, Rina-chan thinks, and his music is really cool, too. But she must use the opportunity and... picking up two fans in the form of a heart with "Hiro" and "Love" written over them, she puts them up and yells with all her heart: "Hiro-san, good luck!! You're really cool too when naked!!" ... The whole auditorium (including "Hiro" and Co.) falls silent and looks at Rina. Then they all start to laugh and Rina's friend whishes they were in another place altoguether. However, "Hiro" is really good sport and says that it was a really hot love call and he's really thanful but... what is his name? The crowd yells back, "Takayanagi." And, who is this guy with the scratches (thank to Rina-chan)?? "Usami! Usami Hiro!!" A very confused Rina realices that the guy who gave her her flute and who she scratched is Hiro and not the other guy! The cool guy grabs the real Hiro (who is not exactly happy ^^; ) and starts telling the crowd that this 15een years old VIP "princess" is going to get a prize from Hiro in the form of a "Date And Kiss". Hiro says no way, but Takayanagi tells him that if he must give example (esp. if they want to keep their actuations as a periodical event). So there goes Hiro, very coolly with his dark glasses to poor Rina (whose face you can imagine... -_- ), puts his glasses on her and takes her in his arms, carrying her out of the room to Takayanagi's amusement. Rina goes like, "uh??" And, as he carries her away commenting on her way of acting, she falls unconscious thinking that this is the real Hiro and how his voice is tender... She awakes to see him shooting an arrow (he's dressing in traditional Japanese archery uniform, with the wide, long pants and the left shoulder uncovered). She is very impressed and tells him how pretty it was. He walk to her and after she falls silent and after seemingly thinking to himself a moment, he leans forwards and... As he kisses her softly on her lips, Rina thinks it's hot like fever but... it's a different feeling... Binetsu Shoujo: Part 02. [version 1.1] Rina and Hiro kiss tenderly... (*sigh* ^^; ) Unfortunately, a couple of students walking by at the outside of the training room interrupt them (precisely talking about them both ("Usami and that girl...") :( Rina returns to her senses and is quite shocked and flushed about the kiss, but Hiro, giving her his back, tells her coolly to go find her friends... As Rina leaves the room, Hiro's look falls on a mirror and he notices he has some of Rina's lipstick on his lips. He cleans it hastily with the side of his hand, but he's blushing and has a thoughtful look on his eyes... Back in home, Rina blushes and daydreams abuot Hiro and what was her "first kiss." She starts imagining Hiro naked... she and he about to share another kiss... ahh... too bad in reality it's her cat dripping nose waste on her. (^^;; ) Next day, as Rina waits in the train station (Tokyo, thought it has underground/metro lines, is best known for its train lines that cross all the city) with her friends, she worries herself silly about how to greet Hiro and Company. But, she is advised, whatever she says, she must show a happy, smiling face! Rina is very nervous and ... well, cute about it (^^). Soon Takayanagi calls her and walks to her in his usually happy worry-less self, behind him comes a pretty serious-faced Hiro. Rina tries to smile like the cute girl we all know her to be, but Hiro's _really_ serious face and her nerves doesn't make it very easy... To her surprise, instead of replying her greeting ("Ah... g... good mo... rning...."), he just looks to a side ignoring her. Takayanagi comments on her hair style (he calls her "braids-chan" ^^), but Rina is still a little shocked (and scared!) at Hiro's attitude. Train comes and the three of them board it (along with half the world). Rina doesn't know what to make out of Hiro's coolness towards her and, to fix things, Takayanagi starts to ask her about the kiss the night before and babbles something about their band missing a girl and (since Rina is so cute (he just loves saying that! ^^)) maybe she would...? Hiro acts like if he couldn't care less about this and when Rina starts to reply Takayanagi, a curve comes and Rina loses her feet, falling backwards... right against Hiro! She begs pardon but Hiro just grabs her hand and puts it on the handle he had been using, while he puts his hand upper on it. Rina looks at their hands so close and mumbles a thank you. But Hiro doesn't even look at her. Shinkuju, end of the trip. Poor Rina is left alone in the track by a happy Takayanagi and a silent Hiro. She tries to change her mind into a "what's it with that idiot?!" kind of thing but... well, let's just say it's not very successful (^^;; ). She is really confused about Hiro and his mood--and about her own feelings! So... armed with all her courage, Rina goes to the live house where Takayanagi's band will be playing. She's bent on meeting Hiro and finding out why he kissed her and all the bundle that's been happening every since. She tries to call him by yelling towards the stage (along with the hordes of female fans ^^;; ), but a hand clamps her mouth shut and tells her to stop... it's Hiro! (He complains she's making a show of herself in public again...) Rina wonders why Hiro is not playing with the band and he said he has asked a favor to not having to act tonight. Rina thinks this is good news to her (as, he wanting to talk to her) and starts talking and excusing herself for the "train experience" that morning (^^) but--- The kiss happened because of the circumstances around them, the ambient, the mood, Hiro says. They should forget it. Hiro walks away and Rina is in shock. Just then Takayanagi happens to see her and, after grabbing her, takes her up to the stage and announces that Rina-chan is a candidate to becoming his lover! But Rina is still thinking about Hiro's words and doesn't realize Takayanagi's intent until he is kissing her! Hiro, from below between the public, is as shocked as Rina! Rina starts to cry, and, when she realizes Hiro has seen it all, runs away in panic. She doesn't want to believe she was just kissed! It's not true, can't be! She stops and Hiro appears at her side but... she doesn't want him to see her face, all her make up is messed up because of her crying (and she does look pitiful ^^;; Just what she needs, a little more of humiliation in front of him... -_-;; ). Hiro turns into his "cool mode" and starts talking about the kiddish attitude of Takayanagi (after commenting on her make-up, by the way) and--- Rina has had enough and throws her handbag to his head. Maybe it was just another silly thing to forget for him, but for her that kiss was serious! Time seemed to stop and she could hear nothing but her heart pounding while he kissed her. It was something special, that feeling, and she doesn't want to forget it. But seems that things weren't quite that easy for Hiro either, however, before she can make any questions about that, Hiro grabs her handbag and makeup stuff and proceeds to re-paint her eyes and lips. He's good at it and things are maybe turning up for good after all... (ganbatte Rina-chan! ^^ )
