Well, not one of the first fanfics I've written in my lifetime but please enjoy reading!
Tsubasa's P.o.v.
"- And that's the end of your schedule for the rest of the week," Ogawa concluded as he took off his glasses. We were standing outside the radio station of the last interviewer and Ogawa and I proceeded to return to headquarters. Ogawa helped me into the car and he drove back to the base. The car ride was quite silent and Ogawa was the one to break it. "How is it living with Maria-san?"
"It's entertaining," I replied while looking out the window.
"That's great,"
When we returned to the base, I took my break by sitting in peace while holding nothing but a cup of tea. Unfortunately, my peace was soon interrupted when Tachibana, Kohinata, and Yukine ran through the hallway.
"Hibiki!" Kohinata yelled as she chased the Gungnir wielder.
"No!" Tachibana pouted as she ran in circles around the table I sat at. "I can finish the report later can't I?"
"What if the noise attack?" Yukine inquired as she chased Hibiki.
"Then..." Tachibana said as she pondered for a few seconds. "I'll beat them up obviously!"
"What if you get held back and all the kids make fun of you?" Miku added as she tried to grasp her.
"It's okay, " Hibiki said as she ran further down the hall while making a huge ruckus on the way.
"What are you guys doing!?" Maria exclaimed while suddenly barging into the hall. No one had bothered to stop running and prancing so Maria turned towards me to fill in on the situation. "What's going on? "
"Tachibana doesn't want to do homework," I replied while sipping my tea.
"Man, these kids are too energetic for me," Maria sighed while rubbing her temples. "I'd better stop then before they do something reckless,"
Before she left, I grabbed Maria's arm and quickly pecked her cheek, giving her an 'I'm back' kiss, though she resulted in furious blushing.
"You're the one who told me to give you 4 different kisses a day,"
Maria stared at me and proceeded to chase after to group and I drank some more tea before I realized that I had already finished all of it. I threw out the paper cup and having nothing better to do, I followed Maria. I saw the ends of Maria's coral hair run into the doors that led to the laboratory and decided to see what was going on. However, by the time I got into the laboratory, I saw Elfnein was working on a new concoction that was in the form of a bright people color. The moment Maria and I entered the room, Elfnein was freaking out and she was completely confused on the situation. Tachibana, Kohinata, and Yukine were running around in the laboratory and Elfnein was completely lost on what was unfolding before her.
"Everyone-"
"Hibiki let's go," Miku said as she attempted to capture Hibiki who dodged her with ease.
"I don't wanna," Hibiki pouted as she landed right in front of Elfnein, who still held the neon purple liquid in the test tube. Chris took an attempt but she ended up knocking into a bewildered Elfnein. With a surprised yelp, she accidentally tossed the potion into the air and its contents landed on me and a strange bitter taste in my mouth popped out of nowhere. Maria saw the liquid soil its contents on me it seemed like she had snapped.
"Everyone out!"
Everyone immediately froze and stared at the Airgetlám user, who had an extremely mad look on her face. Everyone turned to die and quietly shifted out of the room. The moment everyone except Elfnein excited, Maria began lecturing them.
"Just what were you thinking?!" Maria exclaimed as she lectured the three. "Someone could have gotten hurt because of your recklessness,"
"W- well, no one got hurt so it all ends well right?" Hibiki said with a brief laugh.
"And with that," Chris said as she placed a hand on Hibiki's shoulder. Miku followed Chris lead and starched herself onto Hibiki's other arm.
"It's time to finish your report," Miku finished and the two dragged a desperate Hibiki who had no intention of finishing the report the was due the day after.
"Tsubasa-san!" Hibiki cried. "Help me!"
"Tachibana is quite the handful," I said as I watched Tachibana be dragged away.
"Yeah..." Maria said, slightly confused at what had taken place. She turned to face me and a few seconds later, she looked and questioned me. "Tsubasa, what's that on your hair?"
I looked at Maria with a confused look but suddenly remembered that Elfnein's concoction had soiled its contents on me. I used my left hand and reached over my head to where the strange heaviness laid. I felt something wet and when I checked the wetness that stained my fingertips, it indeed was the liquid Elfnein threw in the air.
"I think it was something Elfnein was working on, " I responded in a weary tone, but I attempted to hide the tone and luckily Maria hadn't noticed.
"Let's go home to wash it out," Maria stated as Ogawa walked by and waved over at me. I nodded and walked towards Ogawa who walked with me to my motorcycle. I got onto the motorcycle and as I placed on my helmet, Maria was behind me and she too had placed on her helmet. It was about a 15-minute ride from headquarters to the apartment that Maria and I shared. The moment we got back, Maria immediately l pulled me into the showers and began to strip.
"We need to get you cleaned as soon as we can," Maria said as she began undoing the buttons of her S.O.N.G, uniform. I followed Maria's lead and removed my clothes as well. Maria and I entered the showers and Maria immediately reached for the hose and began rinsing my hair in lukewarm water. Afterwards, she grabbed some shampoo and began lathering. The heaviness on my consciousness returned stronger than ever and added more weight to my eyelids. I felt extremely drowsy and Maria's massaging on my scalp was not helping. After multiple rinsed, lathering and repeats, Maria had finished but I was nearly lost in thought. "Tsubasa?"
I looked over at Maria tiredly and she had a concerned look on her face.
"You're sweating," She said as she placed a hand on my cheek. At this point, I hardly cared for what would happen if I collapsed here and I relied on my instincts. Maria's hand felt cool and almost instinctively, I leaned into her touch. This seemed to have made Maria concerned and she moved her hand from my cheek to my forehead. "Do you have a fever?"
"I'm fine," I said. I attempted to get up but I nearly slipped on the water that failed to be drained. Maria caught me and she rested me on the warm floor of the shower. She took the hose and began to wash my body, to which I didn't care much for. We had seen each other naked plenty of times and this was no different. After Maria finished, she wrapped my in a towel and carried me to the bedroom to be dressed. She was dressed in her usual black nightgown that held itself in straps and slipped on a white t-shirt and day blue shorts for me. Carefully, she blow-dried my hair and laid me down on the bed. Before my consciousness slipped away, I was able to mumble the words "Thank you, Maria,"
Maria's P.o.v.
Tsubasa felt awfully feverish and she seemed like a stay kitten desperately in need of care. I helped Tsubasa with cleaning, dressing, and drying her hair done she's plumped onto the bed and looked completely exhausted.
Were those interviews that strenuous?
"Th... ank.. you...Maria," Tsubasa mumbled and light breaths emitted from the idol. I smiled and lightly ruffled her hair and a thought struck me.
I feel like a mother...
I shook off the thought and grabbed a cooling pad to stick onto Tsubasa's forehead. After completing that mess, I closed the lights and joined the bed with Tsubasa.
"Good night Tsubasa," I said quietly, giving her a small peck on the cheek.
The next morning, I woke up to an empty bed and Tsubasa was nowhere in sight. Assuming she was in the bathroom, I decided to get a head start on making breakfast. I got it of bed and after making the bed, I got changed into my S.O.N.G. uniform. Afterwards, I decided to make a western breakfast that would consist of pancakes and maple syrup. While making the batter, I heard the bathroom door creak and a couple of thuds into the bedroom that followed with the closing of a door. I left the batter unattended, freshened up and completed the rest of my daily necessities. After finishing, I resumed making breakfast and after a couple of minutes, Tsubasa still hadn't come outside and it was quite concerning.
I hope she didn't collapse again...
"Tsubasa?" I called concerned to see if the idol was okay. "Are you okay?"
"For the most part," Tsubasa replied, her voice a bit shaky and higher than usual. "But, my uniform is in the wrong size,"
"What's that suppose to mean..." I mumbled as I closed the fire and walked to the bedroom.
Tsubasa's P.o.v.
I heard some footsteps approach the door and I continued fumbling with my uniform, trying to get it to fit. My bra hung over my shoulder and now it seemed like even Tsukuyomi's bust was larger than mine. Over it was the S.O.N.G dress shirt but the size was way too large and the same with my pants, underwear, and socks.
Maybe this is Maria's stuff...
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and I turned my attention to see who it was.
"Tsubasa?" A voice called. "I'm coming in,"
The moment Maria walked in, she looked very shocked at my appearance, well I would be too if I saw Maria dressed in a sloppy manner.
"Good morning Maria," I said, breaking the silence. "Sorry for my sloppy appearance, my uniform just won't fit for some reason,"
Does she want her 'good morning' kiss or something..?
"Tsubasa?" She said as she pointed a shaky finger at my direction. I tilted my head in a confused manner in reaction to Maria's strange actions. "You are Tsubasa right?"
"Maria, what are you talking about?" I said in a slightly childish tone. "Obviously I'm Tsubasa,"
"B- but your appearance-"
"Maria," I said with a sigh. "Just because the uniform is way too big for me doesn't mean that I'm not Tsubasa,"
"This sword is too dense.." I heard Maria mumble with a facepalm and she walked over to the nightstand that resided next to the bed.
Maria fumbled through the contents within the nightstand and pulled out a hand mirror. She walked back to me and she bent over slightly with the hand mirror opened. I gazed into the mirror and in the reflection was not my usual self but instead, it was replaced with a child's face, one that I had when I was a child. I blinked for a second or two to make sure I wasn't hallucinating and even rubbed my eyes to check but what showed itself before me was reality. I, Kazanari Tsubasa had gone back in time.
Well, that's the end. Pretty short if I do say so myself... If you enjoyed it please leave a review! I hope to continue this series and I guess I've been watching too much Detective Conan lol
