Girls and Gunpowder

Chapter 9:

Today had been pretty hectic for the girls and for some reason, once they had finished all their assignments, the heat of the entire day seemed to come crashing down on them. Elliot had promised to take them out to dinner 2 days ago but thanks to a call from the chairman plans had been changed. They had just made it to the hotel last night when they were told to put on a last minute show, which had been amazing but left everyone exhausted. They also had a mission tonight that the girls were set on making it fun no matter what.

Despite the AC in their hotel room it still seemed too hot for the girls. Chairman had said he would postpone the tour if Satomi and Kanade kept being rebellious, so the girls decided to take a trip out in town showing exactly what their fans might think about it. It took almost a whole police squad to calm the riot that had almost broke out. So as punishment for that, the girls were now locked in their hotel room. Mochi, Takumi, and Tama had volunteered to break them out but Hotaru and Kazumi had just pointed out that they would all be locked in as result. Ichi was no help at all. For the last few days he had been unnaturally quiet, simply watching Kanade like an obsessed stalker.

At the moment the girls were playing their CD 'Seduction or Love?', turned to the love side, as they laid around hoping to somehow wait out the heat wave. And as result of that heat wave the girl's all looked like they were posing for a lingerie photo shoot, laying in only their bras and panties. Satomi was laying upside down on the 2 seat-er couch, her back laying against the seat and her legs thrown up over the back while her head was laying over the edge of the seat causing her now calf length hair pooled on the floor. Aggie was sitting right beside her, her legs drawn up on the seat as her back pressed against the arm of the couch and her head hung back letting her gold hair spill over the side. Kanade had been the luckiest, she was curled up on her side against the cool glass of the table, wrapped like a cat around her fresh box of cupcakes, with her white hair falling down the side of the table to pool on the floor. Shini was laying normally in the recliner next to the table with her legs propped up, the book she had been attempting to read laid on the floor next to her chair, seemingly forgotten.

"It's so hoooottt..." Aggie groaned tiredly throwing her arms up only to let them fall back down.

"This must be payback for the cupcakes..." Kanade pouted.

The girls couldn't help but to laugh softly at that. On their little day out Kanade had passed a bakery that had delicious smelling cupcakes so they had bought a dozen. But Kanade had fluttered her eyelashes and pouted causing the boy behind the counter to give them another dozen for free, and Satomi had sit on the counter and posed with a wink ensuring that half of the dozen was chocolate..... causing Elliot to get angry with them.

Just as they stopped laughing with a sigh the room door clicked and then swung open. Elliot froze in the doorway causing a curious Tama, Takumi, and Ichi to glance over his shoulders and freeze as well.

"Ellyyy.. it's hooott.." Satomi moaned out with a pout as the girls turned to look at the door.

"Why are you so mean?" Kanade asks him from her position on the table.

Tama and Takumi ran off down the hall with bright red faces, Ichi looked away with a blush of his own and kept fighting himself not to peak at Kanade, and Elliot quickly pulled out an, always handy, napkin.

"Please get dressed so I can tell you about the mission." he told them, staring at the ceiling. "Your going under cover at a traditional Japanese restaurant."

At that Kanade and Satomi stood to attention with bright smiles on their faces.

"Hontōni!" They both exclaimed.

Kanade jumped into his arms straight from the table. "I can't wait!".

Elliot sighed plugging the tissues into his nostrils "Yes, yes. Now. Tomi, you and Shini will pose as two men taking Aggie and Kanade on a night out."
