Important Notice: I am changing the ages of the characters, they are all, let's just say that the boys are 29 and the girls are 28. It's because of Youchi's age.
Chapter 6:Hotaru's call
Mikan was happily watering her plants when her cell phone rings.
"Hello?" Mikan said.
"Took you long enough," said the voice in the other line.
"Hey, it's only 15 seconds when my cell phone rings and I picked it. Besides it's early in the morning and I'm watering the plants, by the way, Good Morning, Hotaru." Mikan greets.
"You're watering the plants this early?" Hotaru asked.
"Yes, why?" Mikan asked.
"It's just surprising; usually you would wake up at 9 o'clock in the morning when Youchi don't wake you up. Did you have another alarm clock? Maybe drink or eat something huh?" Hotaru asked.
"Hotaru! Its only 7:21 in the morning," Mikan said and pouted. "By the way why did you call? Is there a problem?"
"It's just this stupid officials telling me that I'm in a team, I haven't even applied or trained yet and they assigned me to a team," Hotaru said then Mikan heard a 'what about me?' "oh well not only me, Koko, too,"
Mikan heard a wail in the other side of the phone. She was sure it was Koko's.
"Oh, I request that team, I put you there so you can choose and build my team, 'coz I trust that you'll be the perfect one to choose the members. You have the perfect inventions," Mikan said.
"Lazy leader, but you have to pay me 5,000 for each got it?" Hotaru said.
"Um, could you make it 2,500?" Mikan said.
"No," was the only reply that came from Hotaru.
"Its dollars you know, it has a higher value in other countries," Mikan said while watering her favorite violet orchids.
"Then forget it, besides as if I'm going to other countries," Hotaru said.
"Ok I'll pay you, geez Hotaru when will you stop your obsession in money," Mikan said. Mikan imagined Hotaru with dollar signs in her eyes. It's Imai Hotaru after all. You can't ask her without a return.
"When the crows become white, without doing tricks to it of course," Hotaru said and smacked Koko for attempting to get the cell phone from her.
"That's all?" Mikan asked.
"That's all," Hotaru hang up.
"Hello, Hello?" Mikan said. "She hangs up again without saying good morning to me. That Hotaru, but she's my best friend and I love her so it's okay," Mikan smiled widely and return to what she was previously doing.
With Hotaru and Koko:
"Why didn't you hand the phone to me, I want to talk to Mi-chan. What did Mi-chan said?" Koko asked while carrying his and Hotaru's bags to their room.
"She said it's more peaceful if you shut your big mouth," Hotaru said and open up another crab flavored potato chips.
"Oh, don't be mean Hotaru, you make me carry all this bags and you're not being nice to me," Koko wailed.
"You got a problem with my bags?" Hotaru asked and took out her baka gun. "You want to carry my laptop too?" (Now folks, where in the name of my favorite candy, did she get her infamous baka gun?)
"Nothing, see I'm doing well here," Koko said and gulp. He prefers to be with Mikan than Hotaru 'coz Hotaru is ALWAYS scary.
'She's violent,' Koko thought.
They stop in a room with a silver plate written 139. They got inside and find a wide room with another two rooms, left door with it's pink door and right door with it's blue door, a flat plasma TV, DVD player and dozens of DVD's and CD's.
"This room is so cool, I'm going to thank Mi-chan for this," Koko said and stared left and right in their so-called new room.
"You can start staring again after to you put my bags inside my room, it's in the right." Hotaru said, go to a table and open her silver laptop.
"Hey, Hota-chan, I'm supposed to take that room, its door is blue," Koko said.
"So?" Hotaru replied not bothering to look at Koko.
"Because I'm a BOY, I'm not gonna take the pink one, it will make me look gay," Koko said and pouted.
"You have a problem with it? If you have, you're free to go and get YOUR own room," Hotaru said and glare at him.
Koko gulp and just squeaked a low ok, put down his two backpacks and go the right room with Hotaru's two not-so-large voyagers. (You know the BIG bag with a wheel)
"Tomorrow you're gonna help me choose the other members of our team," Hotaru said when Koko got out of her room.
"What team?" Koko said curiously.
"The one I told you earlier," Hotaru said and clicked something on her laptop.
"Hey, you didn't tell me anything accept ordering me around since we got here," Koko shouted.
"Whatever and will you stop shouting like where miles apart your irritating voice would breaking my eardrums," Hotaru said and walked to the kitchen strait to a tall refrigerator (Hey did I mention their room also had a kitchen? And their kitchen is full of foods? Well if I didn't sorry) and took out a cartoon of fresh milk.
"Hey, Hota-chan check this out, there is a BATHTUB inside my bathroom and look there's a heater too," Koko shouted excitedly inside his room.
"Baka, of course it has it's a bathroom after all, and Mikan ordered this for us it's a high class, I would have shoot her if she didn't," Hotaru said and sat again at the front of her laptop and gulp a mouthful of the milk she got in the kitchen then put aside the cartoon.
Koko sweat drop.
"Hey when will Mikan be back here?" Koko asked and walked out of his room with his black laptop and sit near the big glass window facing the forest.
"Ask her yourself, you have a cell phone right?" Hotaru said emotionlessly.
"Better if I email her," Koko said.
They stay like that for the rest of the night. Koko stared at the clock it read 08:11 in the evening. He wondered why the time is so fast, it's only 07:12 when they got here and now it's already 08:11 in the evening. He stands up, rubbed his aching neck and asked Hotaru what she likes to eat; Hotaru just answered a mirinda orange, koko went in the kitchen and came back with Hotaru's order and his own food. He sat again and eats his foods. After a while shut down his laptop and throw his trash in the bin, bid goodnight to Hotaru.
In the next few days, the team has 7 members. Since the seven people are the only being who passed the final test.
1.) Ruka Nogi has blonde hair and baby blue eyes, not to mention his always all around pet bunny Usagi.
2.) Yuu Tobita has dirty blonde hair and eye glasses, the book worm and the silent one.
3.) Mucho has short black hair. He likes to tell joke around even though it's not funny.
4.) Sumire Shouda has green permed hair and dark green eyes. She likes wear high heel sandals and put too much
clothes. As much as he couldn't believe it, she is the girl friend of poor Mucho.
5.) Hotaru Imai has raven locks and violet emotionless orbs, her and handy favorite gun, the infamous baka gun which always pops out of nowhere when she needs to use it to something, or mostly somebody.
6.) Kokoroyomi Koko has the same dirty blonde hair, is the second joker but not like Mucho who laughs at his own jokes, he is the called 'smacker' 'coz he always smack Mucho when he suddenly over-reacts.
7.) Nonoko Ogarasawa has
"You said we need 10 members, we're only seven so we need three more people," said a blonde guy with clear blue eyes and had a bunny on his hands. They are currently in Hotaru and Koko's room.
"Two people, Nogi-san, two," corrected Koko while looking at his watch which read 08:01 in the evening.
"Who's the eighth?" asked a confused Nogi Ruka.
"Our leader," Hotaru said and eats her crab miso soup.
"I thought you were our leader, Imai-san," said Nonoko.
"No there's more powerful being than my robot," Hotaru said "it hurt two times stronger when she gives you a blow, so I suggest you to be careful around her."
The new members wince by the mention of the said robot. They have many bruise and some broken bones by that robot. It's the last part of their test, to take the remote in the front of the robot and turn the thing off.
"I think she will be the one to personally assign the two other members," Koko said.
"Well if we don't have anything else to do, why don't you listen to my jokes?" Mucho suddenly said.
"I have to feed my rabbit," Ruka said and walked out.
"I have to see my e-mails," Yuu said and walked to his room.
"Me, I have to test my new chemicals," Nonoko said and did the same manners as what did her walked out friends did.
"I have to check the dress-website and look if there's something new," said Sumire and walked to the door.
"Hey I haven't spoken a single word of my jokes yet," Mucho said.
"And it's better if you don't," Hotaru said.
Koko smacked Mucho's head. "See you make all of them leave."
"And you may leave; too, I want to test my new inventions. Or you want to be the substitute Koko," Hotaru said and a robot walk to her with a bin in its hand. Hotaru put the empty cup of her miso soup and stood up.
"I have to see jokes web site, maybe I get a better joke," Mucho said and almost reach the door in a couple of seconds. "Bye!" he waved at Koko then shut the door closed.
"Hota-chan, is there really a new invention?" Koko asked.
"No"
Koko sighed in relief. And walked in front of his pink door, Mucho laughed several hours when he sees his door and received several smacks from Koko, too.
"'coz I haven't finished it, tomorrow it will be finish so be prepared I want it to be immediately tested," Hotaru said and walk to the table pull out a glass and pour water to it.
Koko gust gulp and muttered a good night and walked inside to his room.
The End!!
