The LOVEWAGON is an essential part of AINORI. Throughout the road trip,
the members'
seating arrangement often indicate fledgling relationships. This becomes
more difficult when the seventh member happens to be the driver. This
still doesn't keep KAJI from making an effort. She spends most of her time
staring into the rearview mirror for a glimpse of her new found love, in
the hopes that their eyes will meet if only for a fleeting moment.
This is more difficult of course if you are sitting in the back. KAJI
cranes her neck over the girls for a better view. Suddenly out of the blue
when getting back into the LOVEWAGON MIKI lets out her most seductive 'Haii
DOMINIKU!'. Both KAJI and MORIOKA turn to MIKI with glaring disbelief and
distain.
KAJI can't believe what she's experiencing; is MIKI chasing after
DOMINIC now as well? KAJI knows something has to be done so she takes
MORIOKA aside for a private conference. She tells MORIOKA about her
attraction to DOMINIC. MORIOKA doesn't seem too surprised. After all, what
ever happened to their seventh member?
KAJI proposes that they keep the two apart whenever possible. KAJI will
handle MIKI and
in return MORIOKA should take care of DOMINIC. This
assignment will codenamed
"Operation X".
That evening back at DOMINIC's multi-million dollar guest house, the
in-house chef is preparing a feast of marinated steaks. No steak dinner at
DOMINIC's would be complete without some expensive wine. MIKI is more than
happy to show off her sophistication though her superior wine serving
skills. First she asks HAKASE if we would like a refill who gladly
accepts.
This of course is a mere ruse for asking DOMINIC if he would also like
a refill. As she reaches over to fill his glass KAJI says the codeword
'X!' followed by a thoroughly unconvincing couch. MORIOKA begins to laugh
and the others are all confused as to why KAJI is coughing up the letter X.
Though MIKI probably suspects it has something to do with DOMINIC.
After their feast the gang decide to sit in the living room and talk
about their good times. MIKI says she's cold so DOMINIC is happy to lend
her one of his sweaters. KAJI is not so thrilled. KAJI tries extra-super
hard to be as sweet, cute and genki as humanly possible. It's pretty
scary. Meanwhile MIKI, now wearing DOMINIC's sweater, reaches her arms to
him, tells him how big he is and hugs herself. KAJI is out-cuted and
frustrated.
KOJI yells, 'X!'. No one is going to out-cute him! The next day the
members visit a park. MIKI finds a quiet piece of grass and lays down. In
a moments time MORIOKA finds her and lays down a good fifteen paces from
her. He attempts to make idle conversation for a minute before MIKI
suddenly takes off like a bat out of hell down the grassy field.
She disturbs HAKASE's nature photography and decides to sit with him to
kill time and keep away from MORIOKA. HAKASE doesn't know what to think
about or say to MIKI. MIKI senses his awkwardness and decides to do her
trademark cutesy wiggle-dance of certain heartbreak and despair.
Later at DOMINIC's castle HAKASE gives his impression of MIKI and
decides he'll stick to the nature photography, at least for now. MORIOKA
is different story altogether. He still really, really, really likes MIKI.
His heart feels like it's gone a full ten rounds and is on the verge of a
TKO. This must be painful even for a professional boxer.
Beat up and bleeding, can MORIOKA survive another round with MIKI.
Who's gonna strike it rich with DOMINIC? Who will resist the seductive
MIKI? Predictions for next week include the development of relationships
between MIKI and HAORO, HAKASE and KAJI, JURI and DOMINIC! Click
