"Why, why?" Hayate calls crying, she is currently covered in bruises, less than me because her technique is better.
"You monster, why did you invite me?" she begs on her knees, pulling my shirt.
"Good practice. Also Have you decided on a present for Cylei?" I ask trying to put her mind off the torture that we just endured.
"I couldn't think of anything, what about we get her premium hazelnut chocolates from Lecures." Since we have no other ideas, we decided to go to the chocolate shop.
…
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT, ARE YOU A BLOODY TURTLE ABOUT TO EAT RASBERRY PIE."
Okay I do not understand her insults at all, but looking at Hayate it obviously is doing something. We are in the middle of practicing this painfully hard routine, apparently we aren't expressing enough, also she says that our basics are so crap that we will never get to the important stuff.
"IT'S MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS."
She says kicking her leg while doing the same move that looks surprisingly different.
"NOW YOU DO SANAKA,"
I do the same move, in the mirror it looks completely different, the technique is the same, my movements should resemble closely, but she just looks like an Idol, like she is kind of floating.
"YOU HAVE DECLARED WAR"
I knew it was bad but it's not that bad that you need to declare war against me.
however this was not from Iria but from Cylei who had just barged through the door, her hair was currently defying gravity, her eyes were red. I wonder if I can borrow those contact lenses some time.
"But we got you chocolates from Lecures chocolate, hazelnut to be exact." Hayate asks frighteningly. Hayate just not understand, this is obviously all an act to motivate us, she will probably make up some crappy reason why it's an insult.
"You really were that evil to research the worst moment of my life!" she yells out of breath from all the running to get here. But Bingo I called it.
"What research?"
"Don't play coy with me. You knew that when I was just a little 13 year old I had asked out the boy I liked. Where I had been rejected after trying to give him hazelnut chocolates from Lecure's." she says with a tear running down her eyes.
"I'M AM GOING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE-" however she stopped mid way through, her glowing eyes turned normal all of a sudden her hair flopping down. Contacts that can go from red to clear, wow I do need some of those.
"Cylei, from the group 3 second row position 2." says Iria, scarily.
"Yes ma'am." now she had done it, calling her ma'am.
The ground seemed to shake, then words started to come from an eternal abyss from under the ground.
"MA'AM!! TEN HOURS PRACTICE STARTS NOW"
Please no, God why.
"No I don't wanna" Cylei says running away, however it's already too late, Iria is standing at the door in front of her.
How many hours has it been? 4 or something. She is even making us do the routines at 2 times speed. Cylei is really a good dancer, she does make me and Hayate look really bad. Iria is actually even doing it with us, just to make sure we keep on pace. And whacking us with a bamboo stick whenever we get out of time. Unlike us sweating and in pain she looks like this is just casual
"Ahah, so this is how you guys are improving." a new person has entered the room. This time it's Sayaki.
"You won't best me," she says, joining in. I considered warning her not to join, but I don't think she would listen. So now for some reason Sayaki has joined in with the torture session. I'm considering trying to make a break for it.
"DON'T THINK ABOUT IT"
How did she know?
"I ALWAYS KNOW"
Sayaki seems to be really determined, however me and Hayate are not looking good, both of our moves are purely propelled on by the fear of this girl behind us.
We hear a creak as a new person walks through the door.
"Okay everyone can stop now." everyone now collapses on to the floor.
Iria now walks over to the person who opened the door, this time it is a blonde pale girl, she is what you would call beautiful in nearly every aspect, kind of like an elf, she looks calm but also slightly cheeky.
"Hello Ama" Iria says kindly, walking over.
"Look at you, you got your old club back." she says smiling.
"These MAGGOTS aren't half as good" she says softly except for the word Maggot.
"You say that, but you always thought they were completely hopeless also."
"Did I"
"It always used to go, Mayaki was pretty average at everything, Hayate was cute and a good singer, but her dancing was average so her confidence was lacking. And Tayaki was an egotistical tyrant, who was actually good at everything except dealing with people. While Katie was just well Katie"
"Did I" Iria asked in a cute voice.
"But you did also say. They have a strange ability, somehow it seems almost as if the world revolves around them. They draw everyone into her life, like the main character of a movie. It's something that neither I nor anyone has, maybe you could say that was how Osiki was when she was younger."
"I don't remember saying that."
"Maybe I'm delusional." she says now turning to us.
"Hello juniors, and Cylei." She gave Cylei a dirty look, just shows how well Cylei's act is working and how dedicated she is.
"Hello " we all mumble back.
"You three are just like them. Don't you think." she says smiling.
"Like who"
"The power puff girls." she says as if it's an obvious matter of fact.
"Which one am I?" Hayate asks. Don't egg her on to continue this craziness.
"You are bubbles. Because you are cute. And likable."
"And I am Blossom?" Sayaki interjects. Don't you also egg her on.
"Very good Correct." Sayaki shoots me a look of triumph, crap does that mean I am Buttercup, not the tomboy.
"Because you are a bossy stress head." Sayaki's smile is wiped off in an instant.
"And you are a buttercup." now she has moved on towards me.
"Because you are irrational, well that's it really." Why aren't I similar to any good traits?
"And you are like Mojo Dojo, for being a complete overconfident lull brain twat. " I tell her, in the flames of anger.
"YOU DO NOT INSULT MY FRIEND" is the last thing I heard as a thump ringed out around the room.
…
"Omg, you can't just knock a girl out."
"I accidentally tripped and headbutted her. " Iria says with a cute face, my eyes are currently closed but I have that six sense.
"I'm sorry I am too ashamed." calls Iria as I hear a slam of the door.
"I feel bad for teasing her about it."
"Nah, you shouldn't be"
Is that Sayaki?
"I'm heading off before this idiot wakes up." I hear another slam of the door. Time to open my eyes.
"Hi Hayate", I say, clutching my head. Which I feel a large lump on the side of my head and I have a bad headache
"You're feeling alright." she asked sympathetically.
"I think so, what happened again." it turns out I had no recollection of how I ended up in this state really.
"Iria accidentally headbutted you."
Oh now I remember, I insulted that blonde haired girl and then Iria screamed out my name. I wonder if she tripped on purpose. I also realized that I had insulted the very person that I was meant to be sucking up to.
Apparently I insulted the head of the group 2 Amanda, or Ama for short according to Hayate. Hayate said that it was cool what I did, But what she didn't understand is that our stock after this stupid thing is determined by our impression on the groups. Maybe I'll just have to perform with rookies for the rest of my life.
…
Back at Sabiti's house, Sabiti was standing in the kitchen watching Cya actively engage in a conversation with Samarchi and Sid. Sid is just sitting there on the couch with the book while Cya is even trying to talk to him. He just ignores it and reads the book. Sabiti decides he should probably get back to doing something productive than watching three brain dead morons conversations.
"Hey Sab" calls Sid. Sabiti quietly thinks for Sid not to call him that annoying nickname.
"What is it"
"You know the mission you gave for your sister to try and suck up to the leaders of the groups."
"Yeh"
"Do you really think she can complete it?" Sid says, raising an eyebrow.
"No"
"Can you elaborate on that please." said Cya finally turning her attention to him, however her gaze seemed surprisingly more cold than to either Samarichi or Sid.
"Those Idol's in there are not what you would call typical normal people. As you would assume you know Cya. All the top people are rather extremely talented, psychopaths, or both." Cya slightly nods.
"So"
"Well instead of sucking up to them you need to intrigue them. Make them take interest in your strange abilities."
"Strange abilities?"
"Tayaki could perfect a song routine without ever practicing it, Hayate could control her face muscles to create nearly any expression perfectly at will. Osiki had practiced every type of dance routine, giving her the ability to blend from different dance styles. Salima could, actually I won't mention hers." they all nod except for the last one.
"She is most likely going to insult them and lose her temper. And that may be her ability, a complete lack of fear of competition way above her payload."
They all look at Sabiti with an odd expression. 'They are all impressed' he thinks.
'What a complete Idiot' is thought simultaneously by the other three
