Triangular Trouble
Chapter 1
1000th Customer
Before I go on, I'd like to say thanks for reading this. Sorry about the "Title" I accidentally put Romance Comedy. But it's actually called Triangular Trouble. I know. Sucky Title. Anyway, this is a NaruxKirixOchiai. I'm still thinking who she should go with.
Disclaimer:I do not own Beauty Pop or its characters. Just the plot.
"The lucky girl this time around, is..." said a childish looking boy.
He had orange hair and his trademark visor. His name? Kei Minami the SP's nail artist. A spotlight shone on a girl with brown waist length hair and emerald eyes.
"1st year Hikari Yamaguchi!" cried Kei happily.
The girl gasped as she walked up towards the stage. She sat in a chair. A homely looking boy took the mike.
"Hi. I'm Taro Komatsu. I'll be your MC for today," he said nervously.
A light shone down on a guy with raven black hair. The hairstyle was a falcon cut. His dark brown eyes were hidden behind glasses. He wore the Ryofuku school uniform.
"In charge of the make-up today, is...Kazuhiko Ochiai," said Taro.
Ochiai glared at Taro. He gasped.
"Ochiai what?" he asked menacingly.
"Senpai," finished Taro. Fear filled his eyes.
Ochiai nodded. The light shone on an arrogant looking young man. His hair was blonde and sort of spiky. His eyes a light brown. He wore a checkered shirt that was blue with a white t-shirt underneath. Since the checkered shirt was unbuttoned. He was quite handsome.
"The hairstylist is Shogo Narumi-senpai," said Taro.
A light shone on a girl wearing her BP cap. Her auburn hair was tied in a ponytail. She wore jeans and a plaine with shirt. her eyes were a lazy hazel color. She yawned and relaxed on a chair.
"The assistant is x, otherwise know as Kiri Koshiba!" cried Taro.
A light shone on Kei.
"In charge of nails is...Kei Minami-senpai!" cried Taro once more.
Kei grinned. A light finally shone on a guy with black spiky hair who said "Sorry" a lot.
"For massage protins, is Kenichiro Seki!" cried Taro again.
Lastly, the light shown on a guy with a prince cut and hay colored hair. He wore a black sweater with the button shirt underneath untucked and navy blue pants.
"Lastly, with aromatherapy, is Iori Minamoto!" cried Taro for the final time.
Iori sprayed perfume at the female audience. Phermones oozed from his body.
"Okay. Let's get started," said Taro.
The girls squealed with pleasure.
"This will be a 15 minute ordeal," explained Taro.
"Begin!" cried the girls.
A girl with black shoulder lenghted pigtails and glasses blushed. She wore the knee lengthed skirt along with the girl's uniform for the school. Kanako Aoyama, Kiri's best friend. Everyone knew that she had a crush on her senpai, Ochiai. Well, everyone except him. Iori and Seki worked their relaxation techniques on Hikari. She closed her eyes in content. Kei worked on her nails and added a love charm. It was finally up to Narumi. He would finish the show with his great cutting skills. He quickly decided on a shoulder lengthed layer cut. Since he saw the girl's hair was quite thick. He cut delicately, yet fast. Suddenly, Narumi felt pain coming from his arm. He let go of the scissors. AS he bent down to pick up the scissors, Kiri kneeled and handed Narumi his scissors.
"Thanks," he said quietly.
"What's up Naru-Naru? Have you lost your touch?" she asked.
She suddenly heard something snap. Narumi glared at her.
"Shut up, you Mussy-head! A lot you know. I lost my scissors, not my touch," he said cockily.
"Is that suppose to be a joke?" she questioned lazily.
"What?!" he cried in rage.
"Hey! We're in the middle of a show!" cried Ochiai.
"Anyway..." trailed Kiri.
Narumi looked at her. She cocked her head slightly and looked up at him with concern.
"Don't you think its about time to ask help from your assistant?" she asked.
A sparkling aura surrounded her. Narumi stared awestruck. He turned away
"Whatever. Just stay quiet and watch from there," he said as he pointed to a bench.
He snipped his scissors for emphasis.
"I'll get it done before time runs out...for sure," he finished.
Kiri stared at him for a bit and sighed. But, a smile was tugging at the ends of her lips.
"Well, good luck Naru-Naru," she said quietly.
A tint of pink was set on Narumi's cheeks.
"Narumi? Shouldn't you get to it? After all, you only have five minutes," said Ochiai.
He pushed Narumi towards the model. He just couldn't stand seeing those two so close. He stopped and looked puzzled. Was he feeling...jealousy? Narumi went back to cutting.
"Okay! 60 seconds to go!" cried Taro.
Narumi was almost done.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!" cried the fans.
Narumi finished. The crowd cheered loudly. Kei removed the smock, while Kiri swept up the cut hair. Hikari went in the back to change into different clothes. The others dusted the place clean. The crowd's anticipation grew.
"Okay! Bring in the model," cried Kei, who now took over as MC.
Hikari came out. She wore a denim blue skirt and blue tank top. Her hair flipped just right. She smiled with content. She had light blue eyeshadow and rosy pink lips. Her cheeks were also rosy. The crowd cheered and whistled. Hikari blushed and walked off stage.
"Hold on!" called Kei.
She turned and looked up at them.
"Yes?" she asked softly.
"You're our 100th customer, so you get a prize!" said Kei. (Well, more like model)
"What is it?" she asked.
"A picture of you with the S.P," explained Ochiai.
She walked up reluctantly. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a guy wtith dark brown hair that had a surfer cut and he had light blue eyes. Hikari gasped.
"Raizo?" she asked.
He smiled and nodded. Tears streamed down her face.
"B-but, I-" she started.
He put his hand up to silence her.
"I'm back and I came for you," he said.
She smiled and hugged him.
"I...I've always liked you," she said quietly.
"I already knew. That's because I've always loved you," he whispered in her ear.
They hugged tightly. Kei smiled happily.
"Okay, we've got some minor changes. We will have Hikari and Raizo together in a picture by themselves to remember this day!" cried Kei.
The cute couple stood together. Kanako stood in front of the cute couple with a camera.
"S-say cheese," she said.
They kissed just as Kanako took the picture. "Aww," said a girl.
After the SP show...
"Ah, I'm hungry," said Kiri.
"What are you talking about? You didn't do anything," said Narumi.
"I had to wake up early to come here. I didn't even get breakfast," explained Kiri.
"That's your fault for not waking up even earlier," said Narumi who was greatly annoyed.
Kiri walked over to where Taro, Seki and Kanako were. Iori had left saying something about having to visit his grandmother.
"Want to order pizza and eat at your house? I have a coupon," suggested Seki.
"Yeah. Sounds good," said Kiri.
They walked towards the door. Ochiai stopped them.
"Are you leaving so soon Koshiba-kohai? asked Ochiai.
"Yup," she said simply as she passed him.
"Kiri-chan! Wanna come over to Naru-Naru's house? There's going to be a lot of yummy sweets," said Kei.
"Are you crazy?! Why would I want her at my place?!" cried Narumi.
"We should go. It might be fun," said Taro from behind.
"Whatever," she said.
"I-it might be entertaining," said Kanako softly.
Kiri sighed.
"Alright," she said.
She took out her cellphone and called her dad to say that she would be home late since her friends decided to go to a party.
"Okay. But, don't stay out too long. You have to work tomorrow," he said.
She sighed.
"I never signed up to work for you without pay," said Kiri.
"I'll pay you 1000 yen," said Seiji Koshiba. (Kiri's dad)
"Fine," she said.
She hung up.
"Would you like a ride?" asked Ochiai.
"Let's go Kiri!" cried Taro.
Taro pulled Kiri to Ochiai's car. He then pushed her in. Taro suddenly looked surprised. There was only enough room for two people.
"Sorry. I only have enough room for myself and someone else. Would three of you mind going with Narumi?" asked Ochiai.
Kiri was already inside his car. She was fast asleep, as the others could tell. Kanako, Seki, and Taro nodded as they headed towards Narumi. Ochiai got in the car and closed the door. His driver began to drive. He sat next to Kiri. He glanced down at her. He smiled slightly. He was going to enjoy this peaceful ride to Narumi's house. He looked down at his laptop, which was propped on his legs and turned on. The SP had been through a lot since Kiri first stepped into the picture. They had gained more experience and compassion, which a while back meant nothing to them. Ochiai sighed. There was so many requests to make girls beautiful, but he felt that it was too much. An idea suddenly formed in Ochiai's mind. He smiled. It was the perfect plan. He decided that he would announce his plan to the others later during the party. But for now, he would stay silent. Kiri's head rested on his shoulder. A blush appeared on his face.
"But for now, I'll just enjoy this," Ochiai thought.
