Moshi mo : Chapter 4
“AHH! It’s finally out!” Riko screamed, when she entered the apartment, and hurriedly snatched the toilet, and taking out the bandage.
She came out wearing her long pajamas, with her wig out as well. “I’m actually glad that my hair is out. I hate to stuck it inside, it’s so hot!”
“We should cut our hair,” Aiko noted, as she nodded her head, with her fingers under her chin. Riko made a big cross with both of her hands. “NO! If we cut our hair, 7 will know that we’re girls! What if they spotted us in school?”
Aiko’s mouth shaped into an oval, and she shrugged her shoulders. “Alright, let’s forget about that,” Aiko walked into the toilet, and took out her wig and bandage as well, letting her long hair flow down. “Riko-chan! Remember to bring our disguise! We have rehearsal tomorrow after school!”
Riko shouted back, “BAKA! I won’t forget!”
Aiko smiled, as she glanced up herself into the mirror.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AIKO-CHAN! WE’RE LATE LATE LATE LATE!” Riko screamed till her lungs could break, as she scrambled out of her bed, and hurriedly grabbed her clothing. Aiko looked back from where she was seating, “Riko, we start class today at 11am. It’s only 9:30am,”
Riko halted in her tracks, with one of her legs inside her skirt, the other out. She looked over to her timetable. “But, our courses are different?”
“But for today, our timing is the same. I’ve checked it,” Aiko sighed, and turned back to the desk to continue her work.
Riko pouted, but continued wearing her skirt. After dressing up, Riko walked over, and peeping over Aiko’s shoulders. “Aiko-chan, what’re you doing?”
“Eh? Didn’t you want to make an instrumental of Dash? I’m trying it out now. It’s quite difficult, since the sound and such…” Aiko stopped, and started clicking on icons of the software. Riko could only shake her head. She’s bad at sound-editing, and her head started aching with the entire wavelength seen on the screen. Aiko had to squint to make out the frequency given off by each instrument. Riko who was initially lazing on the bed, got up after awhile and practiced her dance.
“DONE!” Aiko said, as she stretched her hands and give out a sigh of relief. Riko clapped her hands. “Just in time! It’s 10am already!” Aiko stood up, went into her cupboard, and took out her white singlet dress, and her covered black shoes. She took a few strands of her hair, and tied it behind, letting her bangs to cover her forehead.
Riko wore her white tee-shirt, accompanied with her black skirt. Her hair flowed freely down her back, and her bangs were covering her forehead too.
Once Aiko came out of the toilet, Riko have pushed her towards the front door. “Let’s go!” Aiko just laughed at Riko’s hyper-self- as always.
Laughing and talking randomly about the news on Johnny’s Entertainment that Aiko had found out on her iTouch, they joked and teased about the scandals. Upon arriving at the university, it was still quite early. Aiko took one of her earpiece, and place it into Riko’s ear.
“It’s Dash Instrumental,” Aiko smiled, and passed it over to Riko. Riko plugged it into her ear, and listened to it. “OH! That’s awesome, plus plus plus! The voice is totally minimized!” Aiko smiled at Riko’s comments. Somehow, Riko’s compliments always made Aiko happy.
They were sitting at the bench near the entrance of their university- Meiji. It’s the university Koyama went to. As they were foreigners, they managed to skip a grade, and at the age of 20, they’re already in the third year of university.
Right at the entrance, all students have fixed their eyes on the 5 people who entered the university. Whispers and murmurings could be heard.
“Look! It’s Hey!Say! 7!”
“We finally got to see them!”
“The awesome five guys!”
“Yamada Ryosuke, major in Arts,”
“Nakajima Yuto, major in Photography,”
“Chinen Yuri, major in Sports,”
“Okamoto Keito, major in Law,”
“Morimoto Ryutaro, major in Social Science,”
Riko and Aiko who finally listened finished to their instrumental, got up and left the bench, totally oblivious of the five people who entered the school compound.
“And then, my lecturer said that I could take part in the competition!” Aiko squealed, as she shakes Riko vigorously. Riko, whose plate full with the foods, started to look up, and widened her eyes. “AIKO! Congratulations!” Riko shouted. Everybody have diverted their attention to the two girls, who shyly blushed, and looked away. “Riko! Too loud!”
“Sorry!” Riko whispered, as she sticks out her tongue.
Once again, the five hot guys entered the cafeteria, which made the girls inside squealed. Just when they were finding a seat, Yuto have spotted two girls at the corner, not looking at them. He smirked, “Hey, looks like there are people who don’t know about us!”
Ryousuke hit Yuto slightly on his head. “What are you talking about, that’s not something to smile at!”
Keito laughed at the couple silly actions, as he glanced over to the two girls. Keito felt an aura surfacing from his boyfriend, and he glanced over at Ryutaro. “Ryu-chan, what are you scheming?”
Ryutaro smiled, and went over to hang his hand over Keito’s arms. “Ne, let’s go greet them!”
The other four shake their head. They knew this was coming.
“Hello!” a voice sounded. The two girls stopped their conversation, and looked towards their right. Right in front of them, were the five very familiar guys.
“Hello! Mind if we sit together with you guys?” Ryutaro smiled. Riko blankly nodded her head, as Keito pulled a few chairs, and the five of them settled down. Ryutaro looked over to the two girls, “Don’t mind us, please continue your conversation,”
Dumbfounded, Riko just turned towards Aiko, and started continue their talk. “So, when is your competition?”
The other five were eating, but listening to the conversation as well.
Aiko’s heart was thumping hard and fast. She looked over to the five boys, and looked up towards Riko. “Next month,”
“EH! Sugoi! You’re taking part in a competition?” Ryutaro sounded. Keito hurriedly covered Ryutaro’s mouth, but was too late. Riko looked over, and bluntly asked. “Eto~ why are you guys sitting beside us? There are … so many empty seats around,”
“We’re interested in you girls,” Yuto sounded, earning a pout on Ryousuke’s mouth. Chinen just gladly nodded his head.
Riko nodded her head, but in fact, Aiko know that Riko was controlling her excitement within her. The fact that YamaJima was sitting so close to her and Okataro is there too!
“You girls,” Keito asked, with his hands still covering Ryutaro’s mouth. “What’s your name?”
Aiko and Riko looked at each other, before they mutually decided not to tell their surname. “I’m Riko, she’s Aiko,” Riko said, as she smiled.
Keito smiled back. “You should know our names right?”
Aiko nodded her head vigorously.
After a chatting session, the five of them have left the cafeteria, leaving the two girls shouting and pinching one another, making sure that it wasn’t a dream. “Although I got to see them yesterday, I can’t believe that they’re talking to us! Like, US!” Riko squealed, clenching her fists. Aiko nodded, “I agree!”
It was after their lessons that the tedious time came. Both of them didn’t know where they should wear their disguise. If they went into the girls’ toilet, they will come out as guys. If they went into the guys’ toilet, they will be girl going in. After making sure there wasn’t anyone in the corridor, they hurriedly ninjaed into the boys toilet, and quickly wore their wigs first.
“AH! Not the bandage again, please!” Riko complained, as she twirled the bandage around her chest area. “It hurts, especially with all the dancing,”
Aiko patted her shoulders. “It’s worth it,” as she took over the bandage, and placed it around her chest area.
Riko shrugged her shoulders. “I guess,”
Today, the two girls decided to wear their hat instead. Thus, Aiko wore a green t-shirt, and brown baggy pants, with a black silvered hat, while Riko wore a white t-shirt, and grey baggy pants, with her black and white hat - one similar to Yuto’s, without words.
Coming out of the toilet, one of the guy students was outside washing his hands. While Aiko arranged her shirt in front of the mirror, the student constantly looked up at her. “What?” Aiko asked her voice with the tone of irritation. The student was taken aback, and he murmured, “You look too gorgeous for a boy,”
Aiko rolled her eyes, as Riko pulled her away.
“That guy pissed me off, somehow, in one way or another,” Aiko mumbled, her eyes still fixed on the toilet. “We’re going to be late for rehearsal if we don’t hurry!” Riko sneered, and Aiko hurriedly ran out of the university, with Riko behind her.
“Yabu-kun, where’s Ryuu and Akira?” Hikaru asked, as he looked at the clock on the wall. “They’re going to be late! 7 is here already, even though they have school an-” before Hikaru finished his sentence, the door was flunked open.
“Sorry that we’re late!” Riko shouted, panting up and down. Aiko bended down, her hands on her knees. “Sorry, minna,” Aiko apologized. Inoo walked over, and patted both girls’ head. “It’s okay! Let’s go to the rehearsal room,”
Both of the girls stood up, as they placed their bags down and run after the JUMP members.
The rehearsal room was filled with mirror, and they could see their own reflections through it. The instructor was at the side, talking to Johnny. The two juniors hid behind the other JUMP members- after all, it’s their first practice.
The instructor clapped his hand, and signaled all of them to come over. “Before I start, I would like to see the two juniors dancing skills first,”
Aiko and Riko looked at each other, before they looked over to Johnny. Johnny nodded his head, and this time, it was Aiko who flashed out her iTouch. She connected it to the speakers provided in the rehearsal room. “Ryuu, let me decide the dance for this,”
Riko smirked. “Right on, Akira,”
Riko went to the side, and stand and observed. Aiko stood in the middle of the space provided, as she gets into her stance. The ‘Dash’ instrumental version came out, and the other ten members listened in surprise, as Ryousuke looked over to Yuto, whose mouth was wide opened. Riko grinned, while Aiko smiled, as they saw Ryosuke pushing Yuto’s mouth close again.
Aiko started to dance, her steps filled with the energy, rhythm of the drum beats inside the song. At the chorus, Riko came in, and Aiko had done a frog leap over Riko, and adding on, she jumped up, did a 360 degree roundabout turn in the air, and landed down on one of her hand, doing a handstand. Getting up, both of them finally did their finish move, with Aiko standing up, and Riko on the floor.
Claps roared in the room, and Aiko and Riko high-five each other again. Johnny was nodding his head in satisfaction. The instructor was smiling.
Looks like, he can create a total new dance chorography for the JUMP members, and the two juniors.
