Binetsu Shoujo: Part 04. [version 1.0] Hiro takes an unconscious Rina in his arms and shouts at her, trying to wake her up. Meanwhile, somewhere in Rina's head, she can hear his voice.... Next thing she knows is waking up in her bed, hearing her mother talk to a doctor and a nurse and seeing her dear Mr. Yamada's face right in front of hers (^^; ) Rina, "..." Mr. Yamada, "..." Rina, "Mr. Yamada..." Rina's mother hears her and goes to her. It was a bit of a shock, she reprimands her, getting sick and all that in the school (she should be more careful! -.- ). And, by the way, starting tomorrow she will have to stay home and rest for two or three days. Rina complains at this, but mama won't have any of it (^^; ). Poor Rina looks down, she wanted to meet Hiro so much... (And since most of the times, getting the train to her school is the way of meeting him...) Next day at the train station, Takayanagi talks with Rina's classmates and learns about Rina not going to school. He then goes to Hiro with his usual scheming smile (^o^; )... Isn't it bad luck, he tells him, that they won't see Rina-chan today because she's staying home resting for two or three days? Hiro seems surprised at this. "Eh...!" "Ooohhh," Takayanagi smiles mischievously, "As I thought, you are wooo~~rried *heart mark*" Hiro sweats with his cool-face on. "N... not particularly..." Takayaniga passes his arm over Hiro's shoulders and keeps on teasing him about what happened the day before in school, but Hiro plays it cool still. Takayanagi just grabs his cell phone and starts pressing numbers... "Shall we wake up Rina-chan? (I got the number from Rina-chan's friends...) Now, Hiro-kun makes a love call..." Hiro, "!!" (and that was it for the cool mode.) Hiro tries getting the phone out of Takayanagi's hands to no avail as his face turns totally red. Takayanagi only laughs back at him! In her room, Rina is lying in bed, looking at the ceiling. Hiro and the others... it's the time for them to be returning home (after school)... Rina's mom peeks in a moment to tell her that she is going out for shopping and then leaves her alone. Alone with Mr. Yamada, that is (^^; ). But not even he wants to play with her.... poor Rina... Then her cell phone suddenly rings and Rina grabs it thinking it's probably her friends calling, but... it's Takayanagi! Rina is very surprised at this, and even more when after asking how she's doing, he passes the phone to Hiro! Hiro is once more back to his cool mode. "Ah... I..." Rina-chan waits as her heart beats louder and louder... "See you. *beep*" *tsuuut* *tsuuut* *tsuuut* Rina turns into stone. On the train station, Takayanagi is very mad at Hiro for hanging up on Rina like that! Couldn't he had said something like, "are you ok?" or "get well soon?" Hiro replies that he is just not good at those kind of things. Meanwhile... *tsuuut* *tsuuut* *tsuut* Rina-chan still has the phone near her ear as she contemplates a point very far away in the horizon with her eyes turned into dots. She soon reverts to her usual self and as she falls over her pillow she wonders about what just happened... She wants to meet Hiro again... Like if magic would have had it, Hiro arrives in bike to Rina's house. He goes to the door phone and is going to push the button... but stops. Sweats a little. Scratches the back of his head. Looks down to a piece of paper in his hand and then decides to slip it into the mailbox... It's a ticket for the Live House. However, Mr. Yamada hears the noises outside and opens his eyes wide. He jumps out of Rina's bed and up to a piece of furniture near the window as he shakes his tail. Rina wakes up and wonders what Mr. Yamada is doing, so she stands up and looks out of the window... just to catch up Hiro as he is re-mounting his bike! "Hiro-san?!" Hiro just looks up at her with a sweat drop running down his cheek and points to the mailbox, forming the word "Post" with his mouth. Then he waves and leaves. Rina goes down to look at the mailbox and finds the ticket. It has something written over it: I also appear. Rina wonders... He has given the invitation to me? It's me Hiro-san does...? This time, it's the genuine thing[*] from Hiro-san.... vivaaaaa! [*= as in, not from Takayanagi (e.g.) disguised as from Hiro, like the first invitation she ever had was :) ] Concert night arrives and Rina-chan is--once more--lost between the crowds (^^; ). She tries desperately to call Hiro, but of course she can't see him and he can't notice her (^^;;; ). Somebody laughs softly behind her. "How cute... it's a Bunny *heart mark* You like Hiro, don't you." [Rina is wearing her hair in two tails that look very much like a bunny's ears] Rina looks back and finds a guy wearing pants, a leopard skin-like shirt and sunglasses. Who? This guy...? The guy suddenly grabs her hand and pulls from her with a big smile on his face. Rina tries to resist but the guy takes her to a side of the room nevertheless (^^; ) and pulls her up to some kind of iron construction so that she is way over the crow and has a perfect view of Hiro and Co. Rina is happy now and starts calling for him in her best fool-in-love voice! Unfortunately, Hiro now has a perfect view of her as well. And he doesn't share her happiness over that fact. (^^;; ) Back to Rina, she is really happy and thanks the guy for showing her that place... *kiss* The guy places one on her cheek. "Ehe... you can thank me with a kiss! Bunny-chan... so cute..." Rina-chan's eyes revert to dots. Me?[*] [*= The guy says "atashi," which is a way only girls use to pronounce "watashi" (lit. "I"), so Rina is wondering why this guy is saying "I" like a girl.] While Rina is still two-dotted, the guy says bye-bye and poor Rina is left there wondering about having been kissed by a transvestite... (^^;; ) In the private mini-party at somebody's house after the concert, the members of the band and Rina-chan make a toast for the nice live actuation and Rina-chan's presence before they drink some. Rina looks around a little shy, it being the first time she is in a boy's room. She thinks it has been quite a nice time, seeing Hiro playing live, being now with him... She walks up to him and blushes and thanks him for the ticket... Hiro, "...sure. Is your health ok?" Rina, blushing even more, "Y... Yes." Hiro, "Hmm." --silence-- Poor Rina worries that she can't come up with anything to talk about but she shouldn't worry because... here comes Takayanagi! (^^;;; ) He teases Hiro about his way with women and soon Hiro is blushing like hell and chasing Takayanagi and the rest of the band. Then he suddenly turns around and looks at Rina. Rina skips a beat. Hiro looks almost angry and asks her if it's ok to be out from home so late. She should go back because it's so dark already anyway. Takayanagi teases Hiro again but Hiro can't reply because he feels ill and crouches down. Rina goes to him very worried and asks if he is all right. He just looks back at her with a goofy expression and points at her head. "A ribbon *heart mark*!" EH? Takayanagi and another band member laugh evilly in the background with a beer can in their hands... Hiro looks at Rina with a child-like expression and demands to wear a ribbon as well. Hi... Hiro-san??! Rina can't believe what she is seeing. Drunk Hiro points at his own head. "Here, here!" Rina looks around and Takayanagi tells her that Hiro gets like this when drunk... Rina looks back at Hiro--who is all smiles--and sweats. So she finally decides to... well, put the ribbon on his hair! (^^;; ) Now Hiro is a very happy boy asking everybody if it's cute as Rina looks in amazement (with her eyes back to dot-form) at him and at the rest of the guys laughing at Hiro. Still, she finds him very cute in this new, surprising face of his character... However, Takayanagi goes to Hiro and tells him it's time to sleep and Hiro agrees so... Hiro starts to get naked! Rina face turns red but she keeps on looking anyway! But when Hiro is about to unbutton his pants, Takayanagi reminds him that he has to thank Rina for the ribbon and Hiro agrees happily. Then Takayanagi tells her (to her horror!) that he and the others are now leaving them... Rina is now really nervous and looks back to Hiro, who is coming closer and closer... She tells him to stop but he just leans towards her. S... Scary!! Hiro-san is not Hiro-san!! But Hiro just leans forward until he is about to kiss her... Rina explodes and starts to yell for her life! Hiro, "zzzZZzzz *snore*" "E... Eh?" Hiro just fell asleep over her like a little baby (^^;;;; ). She tries to get up but Hiro cuddles her as he murmurs something... "Taki..." "Taki..." [Taki is a name] Rina-chan is totally shocked! EEEEEHHHHHH-------???
