Binetsu Shoujo: Part 05. [version 1.0] Who is... Taki!? Rina-chan manages to sit as Hiro is still happily snoring over her. Just now he said a girl's name...? Rina then hears somebody behind her, it's another of the band members and Takayanagi, photo camera in hand, complaining sadly about them not kissing... Takayanagi and the rest enter the room (utterly disappointed ^^; ) and lift Hiro, as they go, Takayanagi calls for her to go with them to his house. But Rina is still thinking and thinking about that "Taki" person... Is it the girl Hiro likes...? Once in front of the Usami residence, Rina thinks it's really huge [It is ^^; ]. As Takayanagi rings the bell and Rina is too busy thinking that that is Hiro's house, they dump the man on her and say their farewells right before leaving her alone! (^^) "Who is it?" The door of the house opens and a young boy looking exactly like Hiro appears.... just to find Rina over the ground with Hiro--again--sprawled all over her (^^; ) "Ah... Good... evening..." The boy just frowns at her. Waaahh... he looks just like Hiro! The boy turns and looks into the house. "Heyyy, brother Hiro has come back drunk with a girl---" Rina, "eh..." A young man appears right next to the boy, and he also looks just like Hiro but older and with a different hairstyle. "Ehhh, Hiro and a woman?" He just repeats the news again... and another copy of Hiro, but older too, appears! Rina is really surprised! The latest Hiro copy also turns around, mad, and yells, "Old brotheeeeeer! A womaaan! A womaaan has comeee!!" Somewhere in the house an even older version of Hiro rushes to the main door. "WHAAAT!? A WOMAN!?" Rina, *sweat drop* Finally, the four brothers appear in front of her. Some time later, Rina is offered some tea by the younger brother as she tries to leave. Behind her, the elder brother is dragging Hiro across the room from his pants... (^^;; ) However, the brothers just want to interrogate them in excitement. "Are you going out with Hiro?" "What school are you from, same as Hiro?" ... Rina just can't help fixating on how they look just like Hiro (^^; ) And right behind her, Hiro chooses that moment to open an eye. "WAH!?" He sits up, in shock. "What are you doing in my home!!??" His elder brother smacks his face angrily for being so non-polite (and other less-polite things ^^; ), but Hiro calms him down with nice comment on his cooking and takes Rina out of the house. Note: He is still wearing the ribbon (^^; ) Once outside, he realizes in shock that he is holding Rina's hand and they both blush, changing the topic of conversation... Later on, once in her home, Rina writes happily in her diary about meeting Hiro's brothers... until all of a sudden she remembers... "Taki" (^^; ) She forgot to ask Hiro about her! With her mood destroyed now, Rina thinks that "Taki" is probably another student of Hiro's high school... Who can she be? Back in home as well, Hiro looks at the mirror... for the first time that evening.... Ri... Ribbon? ? ?? Next day Rina-chan goes to Hiro's high school, bent on discovering who Taki is, between other things. As she walks through the empty halls, she admires how clean and pretty everything is, then blushes as she imagines meeting Hiro in that school every day... A woman behind her reminds her that the reception desk is there and Rina gets the papers (for being able to take the entrance exam to that high school). She looks at the envelope happily thinking again about going to the same high-school as Hi... Taki... However there is a small problem. She thought she would look at the names in the shoe boxes* and find out where that Taki is but... The shoe boxes have only numbers on them! And of course, she doesn't know the number. [Japanese students use different shoes inside school than outside, and they leave/change their shoes in shoe boxes at the entrance of the building. Usually each shoebox comes with the name of the student on it.] But before she can think of something else, some female student appear and she decides to leave the place... banging her head directly against the archery club doorframe (^^; ). Hiro-san...? Rina peeks inside the room and sees a figure preparing to throw an arrow... Eh... perhaps... that person is... Transvestite-san!?* [referring to the fact that when they met in part.04, he talked like a girl ^^ ] Somebody pokes Rina from behind, breaking her concentration. It's some of the male club members bent on having some fun (innocent) with her. But before they drag her away, Transvestite-san pokes one of the guy's cheek with his arrow, telling them to release her. The guy looks at him in horror. "Akimoto??" The guys yell at him to be careful where he aims that thing and hurry up in leaving them alone. Transvestite-san asks with a smile if Rina is okay and... "I'm so happyyyy~~~! I've been waiting to see Usagi-chan again *heart mark*" Rina crashes and he grabs her hand, his eyes turned into big stars! "Is Usagi-chan happy to meet me too? Happy? Happy? Happy, isn't she? Nnnn... so cute!" "I'm very happy to meet t... transvestite-san... " The guy frowns at a loss. "Transvestiiteee? Mee?" Rina is in shock, thinking she insulted him. "So... I'm very sorry!" "Yes... but because you are so cute I forgive you! *heart mark*" And proceeds to kiss Rina on the lips. "XXXX!!!!!" Rina steps aside, blushing like hell and covering her mouth in utter shock! The guy just smiles. "Oho *heart mark* Pure, aren't you? *heart mark* How enviable..." He then gives the envelope back to her and comments on how happy he is that he will be able to see Rina-chan every day... While Rina just... em... "Ehehe... *heart mark*" He leans towards her and comments on how she will be able to see Hiro too.... Rina is shocked at this but he says that he saw her at the Live Concert all built up about Hiro! (^^) Rina says that she is not very sure about Hiro's feelings, but that she will try hard to enter the school nevertheless. Then the guy convinces her to try on one of the school uniforms! He thinks she looks very pretty and cute! She is worried it will be a problem for her to use that uniform, but he tells her there is no problem and, even more, offers to show her Hiro's classroom! (school is empty, rest day). After dragging her to the room, he promises to be back in a moment and leaves Rina alone in the shadowed place. Rina likes the uniform a lot and thinks that transvestite-san is a very nice person. Rina then remember that she must stop calling him "transvestite-san" and start calling him "Akimoto-san." The door opens. Hiro appears in the threshold. Rina is in shock and hides behind one of the tables from the scare, as her mind races about what to do now.... Hiro looks around. "Are you here?" Rina closes her eyes very hard and prays for him not to see her... However, he does notice a piece of the uniform's skirt showing from behind the table. His face is very serious. "What did you want to talk about?" He starts to rant but Rina says nothing, which irks him. "Is it okay? I... since we were kids... I... I like Taki." Rina is in shock. EH? Unintentionally she pushes something and a fake skeleton used in biology classes falls on her, scaring her and making her scream. Hiro turns around to look as something falls from the jacket Rina is wearing. It's an ID card, with a photo of Akimoto and the name clearly printed as "Akimoto Taki." At her side, Hiro blushes deeply as he stares at her in anger. "You... What the...?" To Be Continued... when I have the time ^^;;;
