AGAINST THE WIND THAT GOES [Chap 2]

CHAPTER 2: IF ONLY IT WAS JUST A KISS.

June 22nd 2011, the first trainning week.

Rena and Jurina were noticed that their trainning schedule would started at 7am. As an idol, they got use to this. They had to stay up late and work all the time as their busy schedule. They experienced all of those stuffs except this.

Jurina blinked. She thought she heard something wrong.

"I said, put your hands around her, Jurina."

"O-oh... Like this?", Jurina awkwardly put her hands on Rena's shoulders.

"I'm a halfblood Japanese but I think my Japanese wasn't too bad to hear.Seriously, I'd rather buy two mannequins than seeing you two kept acting like this.", Robert sighed. It's going to be hard. "Put your hands on her waist gentlely, just like you were protecting the most important thing of your life."

Jurina swallowed. The way Robert described those actions just made her goose bumped.

"Ju-ri-na!", the director was getting angry.

"Okay fine. I'll do it.", Jurina finally did what Robert said. She put her hands on Rena's waist. Rena looked okay with that. May be that's why she's said to be a good actress.

"Okay. Now you two come closer.", said the director.

Jurina was a little embarassed but she still did it. Jurina felt Rena's thin body was getting closer to hers and she suddenly wanted to run away. But then Jurina calmed down. If Rena could do that, why couldn't her?

"Stay there, keep looking at each other's eyes and listen to me.", Robert continued, "Maya and Alice are twin sisters. They were taken to an island near Caribbean bay just like the other twins, both boys and girls. They're not just sisters, not just friends but also enermy. A secret organization was founded to train the most perfect assasins in the world. They're trained until they're 18. They have to pass the hardest lessons, face to the death day by day and on the final day of the lesson, those twins have to fight back each other for their life. The winner will become the goverment's assassin. The loser will be killed and their organs will be sold for the rick who is fatal disease. Their relationship is the last  connection left between them. Since every word they said was all about revenge and be revenged, when they look into each other's eyes, it reminds them of their childhood..."

While Rena and Jurina were hearing Robert talked about their characters' story, their concentration was stronger and stronger every minute. Didn't know it was because of Robert's words or the warm sunlight which was goi through the windows or the wonderful sea view that the atmosphere became extremely comfortable. Jurina didn't realize she leaned her forehead on Rena's forehead and her eyes were about to close. Because of the schedules, Jurina had to wake up really early in the morning but she still didn't get use to it at all. One more, Jurina will sleep easily if she feels comfortable.

"Hey... Aren't you sleeping?", she whispered but still loud enough for Jurina to hear that.

Robert was still speaking out loud his book's summary while walking around the girls. However, he seemed too busy paying all of his attention on reading to hear what Rena said.

"Yes?", Jurina replied weakly. Sounds like she was just breathing.

"I said, don't lean on my body to sleep like that.", Rena whispered again but she realized Jurina was so sleepy that her body couldn't stand firm anymore.

“Jurina.”

“Ye... Yes?”

"Don't 'yes' to me you silly. You are standing too closed to me and you're about to sleep, Jurina."

They were so closed that Rena could feel her breathe on Jurina's lips. Sheeven smelled the peppermint in her breathe.Somehow, it madeRena feels comfortable but she didn't need to be this close. Baka Ju-chan!

“Jurina!” Rena tried again, more serious than the last time.

"Little Matsui! If you dare to close your eyes, I'm pretty sure you'll have to clean all of this house's toilet!"

Right after Robert's last words, Jurina suddenly stood up straight.

"Jurina, didn't you sleep last night?"

"Erm... Well...!"

"I didn't say you can put your hands out of Rena!"

Jurina immediately put her hands back to Rena's waist.

"Now, the next step.", Robert came closer to the girls, "Kiss her. Showly and be gentle like you two put everything you have in this kiss."

“EH !!!”

The two SKE's members immediately pulled each other out which made Robert glared at them.

"We've talked about this before. So you two don't 'EH' to me!"

"Y... Yes... But... I thought it won't be this fast. I mean, today is just the first day.", Jurina explained

"Kido, we have to get through this as soon as we can then you two will get use to this. Now, back to your position!"

Rena and Jurina looked at each other and swallowed at the same time.

"What are you waiting for, WMatsui? Do it!", Robert was getting angry once again.

"Eh!", both of them seems surprised.

"Don't stare at me like you two haven't heard people called you that name before. Besides, you both have the same first name so there's nothing wrong calling you that."

"It just... I'm... I mean, we're a little bit uncomfortable being called like that in this situation."

"You'd better get use to this. By the way, do you want to be locked here all day until you finished your exercise?", Robert glared back at Rena.

The two girls sighed and went back to their positions.

"Like I said...", he glared at the girls one more time, "... If one of you keep cutting my word, I'll lock you here for sure. It's such a soft kiss but no one could stop it. Let me see what you can do."

It's not so great being an unknown-artist but think about kissing Rena makes Jurina feels awkward more than that. She was afraid this kind of thing would happen. And if Jurina had to choose between reading books and kissing Rena, she would definitely choose those scary books. Too bad that she has no choice now.

Rena bit her lip. Did Jurina think everything is easier to her? Come on. If there's anyone Rena shouldn't kiss, it'll be the girl standing in front of her for sure!

"What are you waiting for?", Roberrt hurried them.

Jurina closed her eyes once again, stopped breathing and tried to get closer to Rena but right before Jurina be able to do anything else, she got a book on her head.

"My God. Who are you? 3-year-old kids? Okay. I think we had to end this. None of you deserve to be an actor. It's still not too late to cancel the contract. Your company will have to pay the full cost of losses but may be that's not the problem.", Robert stood up and took his coat on the coat hanger.

"Wait!", Rena stepped toward Robert, "Hadachi-sensei, please wait."

"Forget that, Rena. I got at least two months left to built the most perfect image of Maya and Alice in real life. But I'd rather work with AV actors even when it's not that kind of movie. It's easier working with them for sure. Plus, if they attended this project, they would definitely be more famous than you two."

"You didn't say this movie is about lesbian. You didn't say anything about that.", Jurina countered.

"Because it's not.", Robert turned back, "But if you want to play these role most perfectly, you have to leave your own 'me' behind or both of you are just two normal singers who can act."

"We're sorry. We really want to continue this. Please, sensei!", both Rena and Jurina apologized the old director which made him very surprised.

"Your story is really ineresting and amazing and...erm... But I was so nervous that I forgot what to do. Please give us one more chance. We really want to become Maya and Alice.", Rena pleaded.

"Please forgive my unprofessional behavior."

"Listen. Don't sorry for that. Everything will be hard if you two aren't ready...", Robert sighed.

"I agree that I'm not so interested with this at all but I understand this character. I want me to build the image of Alice myself.", Jurina firmly said.

Rena was a little bit surprised when she saw Jurina's attitude. She had never seen Jurina like this before. With Jurina's active personality, it's really difficult for her to put herself in an image she don't like.. Why so different now?

"I don't like reading books and until now, I've just read chapter 3 of your novel. But I really want to be immersed in character. Alice is an active girl but deep inside, she's really deep and mysterious. She cares about her sister and her friends. I think I also need once living like that. I want to protect the most important person of my life. Here is... Maya."

The old director listened to Jurina's opinion and once again, he's surprised with Jurina's comment. She's not a kid after all.

"Please allow us to continue.", they pleaded him one more time.

"Fine! But if I see any childlish action of yours, everything's done. Roger that?"

They nodded.

Robert turned back and hurried the girls, "From now, Matsui Rena and Matsui Jurina don't exsist once you come in this room. And when you're here, you are Rena and Jurina - my actresses."

The atmosphere become serious. Rena and Jurina are not SKE48's WMatsui anymore. They're Robert Hadachi's main characters.

Jurina stressfully put her lips on Rena's, kept talking to herself at they were just acting. She could feel that Rena wanted to step back but she didn't. Both of them couldn't move. Jurina's hand locked on Rena's waist and Rena put her hand on Jurina's neck, waiting for what happen next.

"Okay. Now...", Robert said, "Jurina, taste Rena's lips, slowly and be gentle. Kiss her lower lip and then turn it into stronger kisses. Listen to your heart and let it tell you what to do. Now do it."

Robert's words kept repeating in Jurina's head when she was trying to follow the guidance. Jurina held Rena's waist tightly and started kissing her gently.

Rena let herself melted in Jurina's arms. She tighter her arms around Jurina's neck. Well... This is not bad at all.

"Bite Rena's lower lip and taste it just like kids licking their wound", Robert kept saying with a low and warm tone, like a mom lullabying her child.

Jurina's mind was empty. Robert's guidance was the only thing she could hear at that time. She bit Rena's lips so gentle that she could hear the older girl moan. Oh God... Jurina didn't know Rena could make this kind of sound. She totally let Jurina do everything she wanted. The thought made Jurina pround. Since it's so interesting, Jurina decided to make her action stronger.

Rena knew she lost this battle. But somehow, a part of her mind wanted Jurina to kiss her more. Rena didn't know what the hell she was thinking. Then, another thought flashed in her head: Since when did Jurina know how to kiss? 

"Rena!", Jurina pused Rena out when the other girl bit her lips.

Robert frowned.

"I'm... I'm sorry... I...", obviously, finding the reason Jurina knew how to kiss made Rena distracted.

"Fine. Five seconds.", Robert said.

What the... Is he really counting time? Rena thought. But when she saw the old director looking at his watch, there's no doubt left.

"Time out, girls. Back to your position."

Rena sighed when Jurina pulled her closer. Till when will they have to kiss? Feels like they kissed so long.

"Thirty six seconds.", Jurina whispered.

How does she know? Before Rena could say anything, their lips touched again.

Jurina's lips is really warm. Rena hugged her tighter, ready for the next kisses. This time, the feeling changed into more pleasure and that made Rena asks herself what would happen if normal actors were in their gay character because this time, Rena was so confused. Is Jurina always this intensed when she kisses other members? Rena imagined that it would be not so comfortable kissing a same gender person but kissing Jurina was not as scary as she thought.

One... Three... Four... Six... Rena started counting how many time Jurina licked her lips. Are you hungry or something, Jurina? You're licking my lips like a candy... I'm not your food you idot...

However, Rena lost herself in such a play like this. She wasweaker minute by minute as the atmosphere was so comfortable and she let her body fall in Jurina's arms. The room was warmer because of the sunshine which was shining through the window, just like crystal. Rena kissed Jurina back, as intensed as Jurina did and they realized they were swallowing their tongue.

How long have they kissed? Is Robert couting time? Is he writing about their acting? Or is he still in this room? Obviously, they felt like they were alone.
Jurina suddenly cut their kiss and stepped back. She looked at the man who was standing in front of them.

"What the... What are you doing?", Robert seemed uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry. I need some air."

"No. Not that. I'm talki about what you two have just done... I said these kisses are short but strong, not eating each other face."

"EH!"

Robert sighed, "You don't understand what I said. But however, you two had your first contact. Now go having lunch. Let me here for awhile.", he kicked the girls out of the room after finishing the last word.

oOo

"OMG. That was so embrassed.", Jurina lamented while sitting down.

"But we finally did that.", Rena sat down but she didn't want to eat at all.

"Do you have lipstick there? My lips are so dry."

"Here.", Rena took an orange lipstick out of her pocket.

"Thanks. I'll use this after having lunch.", Jurina took the lipstick and left it on the table.

Rena stared at Jurina for awhile. Her partner was so normal. This was weird since Jurina was the one who was attracted in their kiss scene.

"You've already recoveried nee?", Rena said.

"Yes. Piece of cake. If you keep thinking you were acting, it will be more easier. Hey. Don't tell me you were attracted. You looked calm."

"No no no... It just... I'm surprised that you could control the situation that fast."

"I'm the one who was surprised."

"Yeah. An surprissing diot."

"A... Why do you always tease me?

“I'm telling the truth.”

"Well then... This idiot made you moan.

Rena gaped, "Don't lie, Jurina! I didn't moan!"

Jurina caught the napkin which was threw toward her,"Don't tell me you have no idea about that."

Really? Did I really moan? Rena suddenly felt embrassed. She always think she was a better actress. How could her lost herself like that? There's no way for her to moan in front of Jurina but she had no idea about that. But Jurina's look confirmed that. Oh my... Who is the idiot now?

"Don't be panic, Rena-chan. Everyone has that time."

Rena-chan? Jurina always calls her like that when she wants to act like an adult. Besides, does she have to say that like it happens everyday? Rena agreed they're good friends but it's not enough to moan in front of her...

"I'm done. I think he wouldn't call us soon so if you need anything, find me at the billard room.", Jurina stood up and disappeared from the lobby.

Jurina left Rena alone in the room. She was still shocking with the news Jurina brought her a couple of minutes ago. I moaned! Oh my God! I moaned because of that idiot girl! Worse... That was just acting!

oOo
