Kourin was exhausted, both physically and emotionally. Today, she confessed to her crush, Aichi, something she had been contemplating and planning for weeks. She had hoped it would smoothly and that he would feel the same way that she felt towards him, but that complicated when Misaki came and confessed. Honestly she couldn't hate her for that, but it doesn't change the fact that she felt frustrated.

To top it all off, she still had her idol work after school. Ultra Rare was getting ready for a show and they had to practice for it, which proven more difficult for Kourin. It was not because the performance was difficult, but because of her unable to get the clubroom incident out of her head. She had made a lot of slip ups and mistakes which caught attention of many there, but they had made it up to be caused by exhaustion (which wouldn't be entirely untrue).

Now that she was home, she can't wait to hold up in her room, take a shower, and finally go to sleep. Or so she thought.

"Kourin, what is up with you today?"

"Huh?" Kourin turned around to voice to see Rekka with a displeased look. "What do you mean?"

"I mean you've be totally spacing out today during practice! You've totally been messing up on the simplest steps!"

"Rekka is right," Suiko agreed, "you've got something on you your mind?"

Crap. Kourin doesn't want them to know, not yet anyways.

"It's nothing. I've just been a bit tired lately."

Rekka doesn't seem satisfied with that answer. "I've seen you when you're tired Kourin, this is something entirely different."

Suiko nodded. "Hmmm… Oh! Could it be boy troubles?"

Rekka gasped. "Really?! It would make so make sense! Is really true Kourin?"

Kourin was taken aback by their claims and immediately looked away with a blush on her face. "Not a chance! There's nothing like that go on!"

"So it is true! Who is it?! You've got to tell us!"

"Aaaww! Look a her, he's blushing so much!"

She was getting increasingly annoyed by her sisters. "I'm telling you, I'm not not crushing on-"

"Tell us tell us tell us tell us tell us tell us tell us tell us tell us!"

Kourin couldn't take it anymore, she knew they won't let up until she gives them what they want. "Grrr! Fine! Its Aichi, happy?!"

"Kyaaa! I'm knew it" Rekka shouted.

Suiko had a sly smile. "No wonder you like going to school so much lately, you've been been looking forward to seeing him everyday. Come on, you've got to tell us all about."

Kourin's already regretting this already.

"No way! A love triangle!"

Kourin spent the last couple of minutes recounting her confession to Aichi and Misaki's interruption. Her sisters were surprised by the revelation, it sounded like something from the romance novels they read.

"Heh, that boy may not look like it, but he is really popular with the girls," said Suiko with a amused smile, but then her face turned serious. "Still, your stunt there put us in big trouble, don't you remember our contract, Kourin?"

"Yes I do."

"And?"

"I don't really care."

The blue hair idol could only facepalm at her younger sister's stubbornness. "You do know that if they find out about this, you'll be dragging us down with you."

Kourin could only smile and say, "who said anything about them finding out?"

"So you were just gonna risk it and hope they won't find out?" Rekka asked.

"That's right. I know I'm being selfish, but…" Kourin paused, trying to work carefully what she's going to say next. "Aichi makes me happy. he treats like I'm normal, the first one really. He's special to me and I don't want to wait for years to tell him, he might just find someone else by then."

The room was quiet as the two sisters process what Kourin had said. They never thought someone could ever make their serious, level headed sister act this way, he must be really special to her. They can't believe they're gonna have to do this.

"Fine then, it settled," Sukio sighed. "We're going to help you."

"Huh?"

"It's pretty obvious that you've fallen for the guy. How can we not try and help while seeing you like this?"

Kourin shot up from her seat. "You mean l-love?! That's crazy!" She looked away and nervously twiddle her fingers. "There's no way, it's too soon to say that…"

At that moment, she looked bright, too bright to look at. 'This light is blinding, she's too pure! What happened to our abrasive sister?'

"But do you really want to help me? Even if its compromising our positions as idols?" Even though she didn't care for the job, she still feels a bit guilty for her sisters because of her selfish behavior.

"Of course Kourin, what are sisters for," Rekka giggled.

"Rekka, Suiko…" She is really grateful to sisters like them, even if not by blood.

"Now then, to take out the competition!"

"...Eh?"

"You know, your love rival! In order for you and Aichi to get together, we're going to have to absolutely crush her!" Rekka said with a glimmer in her eyes. She is totally getting a kick out of her sister's romantic drama.

Suiko nodded. "With Misaki out the way, make sure the two of you will be inseparable."

Oh no, they're starting to get the wrong idea. "Listen, I get you're both trying to help, but I seriously don't want to hurt Misaki in any-"

"How about we blackmail her? I'm sure we can find something dirty on her," Rekka said cheerfully.

"No, Rekka. I just said that I-"

"We can always kidnap him, she can't get to him if she can't find him," Suiko mischievously suggested.

"That's a crime, it's even worse! What happened to winning him over?!"

Rekka sighed. "Relax Kourin, we're just joking. We got other plans to get you with your future husband!"

Kourin's was starting to feel too exhausted. "Ugh, I don't have the energy to keep talking about this."

"Look, unless you want to start sharing him, you've gotta pull out everything you have to win him over."

"And that can wait till tomorrow, right now I just want some time alone." She got up and made her way to the door. "Goodnight."

Suiko and Rekka thought that it would be pointless to convince to stay, they wouldn't be able to convince her.

"Goodnight…" said the sisters.

After Kourin closed the door behind her, she felt relieved to finally get out of the room. She didn't want them to know about her confession, not until she got with Aichi (if she ever did). Things keep getting more and more complicated and she fears that someone is going to get hurt out of this. Of course she doesn't want that, him and Misaki are one of her closest friends and damaging their friendship is the last thing she wants to do.

Still, one thing her sister said popped into her head.

"Sharing…"

Next is Aichi's side, the morning after. Pacing is kinda slow, even for me, but I want to do things right. Probably there won't be a chapter till after Valentine's day for a one-shot holiday G era fic. Till the next story.
