Shooting star (an ikuzono fanfic)

Chapter 1- the concert

No ones POV:

Sayaka Maizono.
A stunning pop sensation, loved by everyone!
People were so jealous of her. Everything about her was perfect. Her looks, her voice, her laugh.. just, everything. She was perfect.
Of course she was perfect! She's an idol! She was everything everyone wanted to be.
She went on tours all around the world. She held concerts everywhere.
Everyone was desperate to see her up close.
People wondered how she was still single. She rejected every man that ever asked her out.
Why? Well- let's put it this way..
Sayaka Maizono doesn't like men. She doesn't find any man attractive, but she doesn't want to admit that because she'll loose fans and get hated on.

Mukuro Ikusaba.
A strong, intelligent and independent soldier, always armed and ready for the worst.
She lives with her twin sister, Junko Enoshima, who never gives Mukuro a break.
She never gets time to herself since Junko wants Mukuro to do everything for her.
Mukuro.. wasn't so perfect.. nothing like Sayaka.
In fact, they're exact opposites. Where Sayaka didn't have to do much housework or anything like that, Mukuro never got a break from it all.
She had to play strong though.
She was the ultimate soldier.
She couldn't show that it was causing her to be restless and sleep deprived.
Play strong.. play strong.. play strong..
that's all she could say to herself.. those two words.. the words she didn't want to say, but the words she had to say..
All she wanted was a break..

Both Sayaka and Mukuro needed a break..
sayaka- from fame
Mukuro- from Junko.

———————————————————————————————————————————————

Mukuro's POV:

Junko is out of town for a while.. thank god. It might finally give me a break from everything.. it's all too overwhelming at the minute..
Hopefully, with Junko gone, this gives me time to take care of myself for a bit.
I heard someone called Sayaka Maizono was holding a concert not too far from where I live.. I might check ticket prices. With Junko away for a while, she won't know that I'm going.. right?
It won't hurt her if she doesn't know. She doesn't need to know. It's my money anyway. I deserve it.. I think..
do I deserve it? I should do.. I do everything for myself and Junko.. I'm sure one concert is a great reward for it all! Yeah! I'm going to buy a ticket to see Sayaka and her idol group.
I've seen pictures of Sayaka before.. she's stunning! I don't get how she doesn't have a boyfriend yet.. I'm sure men go crazy for her..
maybe she's too busy for a relationship.. she does tour a lot and meet a lot of new people so I understand if that's why she's still single. But hey, it's not really something I should be worrying about. I'm sure that if Sayaka wanted a relationship, she wouldn't have a problem getting into one. She's absolutely perfect. Not a single flaw. It's amazing what she's like!
I'm already excited to see Sayaka in person.
What if she notices me!
No. Don't be stupid Mukuro. There'll be a ton of people there.. she won't even acknowledge that you're there. Stop getting ahead of yourself.
Right.. there'll be a ton of people there.. I have no chance of her even looking at me.
That isn't going to stop me from going to see her though! It may be the only chance I ever get because of Junko. I'm not going to waste this chance.

sayaka's Pov:

Tickets are almost sold out for my next.. well- last.. concert. yeah. you read that right.
This concert will be my last one for a while now..
I really need to relax a little after this concert.
all this fame is really getting to me.. it's stressful.
very..very stressful.
I really just need some time to myself. No more early mornings. No more loosing my voice. No more loud crowds of people. No more flashing of the cameras. Nothing. Nothing but peace and myself. Myself. Only me. Just me. No body ordering me what to do all the time. Just myself. Only I can tell myself what must be done. No one waking me up at 5:30 every single day.
Just.. time to relax.
Time to be myself for a while.
Go natural. No more faces full of makeup or cans of hairspray. none of that.
Peace.. I like that word.
I never really get any peace but the word has a splendid ring to it.
Peace.. it's such a beautiful word in my opinion.. it really is.
I want peace. Hopefully, that's what I'll get after this last concert.
Peace.. and nothing but peace..
god I might even have enough time to find a relationship now I'm not working 24/7..

Time skip- no ones POV.
At the concert.

Mukuro was sat in the crowd of hundreds.. no- thousands of people waiting for Sayaka to walk onto centre stage. Mukuro was on her phone while she waited. It was silent.. strange. Aren't concerts normally supposed to be loud? A few minutes passed and then.. everyone started screaming and cheering.
Mukuro looked up to see Sayaka. She was just as beautiful as what she was in the pictures.. possibly even prettier.

Mukuro's POV:

Dang she was pretty.
No, Mukuro. Pull yourself together.
She's wayyyy out of your league. She's a pop star for crying out loud. she'd never notice me anyway.

No one's POV:

Throughout the concert, Mukuro and Sayaka's eyes met a couple of times, only for Sayaka to get embarrassed and turn away as she tried to keep professional on stage in front of the thousands that traveled to watch her.
Mukuro didn't know what it was but, every time Sayaka looked at her and their eyes met, Mukuro got this funny feeling in her stomach. She didn't know what it was though. She decided to leave it be, she couldn't let it get to her. She probably just wasn't feeling well..

^Time skip: after the concert^
No one's POV:

Just as Mukuro was leaving, she was stopped. Who by?
Sayaka Maizono herself!
Mukuro was confused, yet she didn't have chance to speak before Sayaka grabbed Mukuro's hand and lead her to Sayaka's dressing room.
Sayaka closed the door behind them as she signaled for Mukuro to take a seat.
Mukuro did what she was expected to do, she had to be respectful.
"I haven't seen you before." Sayaka said as she leant against her dressing room door.
"Ah- well, I've never had chance to do anything fun due to my sister making me do everything around the house. But she's out of town for a while so I thought I'd check your concert out while I could" Mukuro said in return, looking directly at Sayaka.
"What did you think of it then? The concert, I mean." Sayaka replied.
"Well I certainly wasn't disappointed. You're so talented and pretty and you have guys down on their knees for you and-" Mukuro trailed off, just rambling to Sayaka about how great she thought she was. Sayaka listened closely to every word Mukuro spoke, getting slightly flustered. Mukuro thought so highly of Sayaka. It was heartwarming. It honestly made Sayaka's night so much better. She smiled, her face heating up slightly. She didn't interrupt Mukuro. She didn't want to. She allowed Mukuro to have her moment. The words Mukuro spoke, those were the words Sayaka would cherish forever and a day. No one has ever spoke so highly about her like Mukuro did.
She could see her and Mukuro being the best of friends!
"Hey urm- I never got your name" Sayaka said just after Mukuro had finished talking.
"Oh! Right. It's Mukuro.. Mukuro Ikusaba" Mukuro answered Sayaka how she did before, only this time, she wasn't looking at Sayaka. She was looking at the floor. She was embarrassed. She just told the Sayaka Maizono how she felt about her and her talent.
There was some rustling noises around the room before Mukuro's head was lifted up. Not by choice though, by Sayaka.
Sayaka had lifted Mukuro's head up by pushing her chin up, making Mukuro look directly into Sayaka's eyes.
"Well, Mukuro. I think that what you said was extremely sweet and I can already see us being great friends! Your words make my night. So thank you for that. I mean it"
Those were the words that Sayaka spoke, holding Mukuro's face in her hands to make sure Mukuro didn't look away.
"Say- take this. Feel free to give me a call or leave a message some time! I'm free whenever as I'm taking a break from all the concerts and stuff" Sayaka added as she let go of Mukuro and wrote her number down onto a little card, sliding it into the pocket on Mukuro's jacket.
All Mukuro could do was nod. She was totally speechless. She had just been given Sayaka's number and was told to call her whenever.
Sayaka smiled softly before telling Mukuro she was free to go home now.
They said their goodbyes before Mukuro eventually left, leaving Sayaka alone in her dressing room.

"Wow- she was pretty" Sayaka said to herself just as Mukuro left.
"She was so much more then perfect!" Mukuro thought as she walked back home to get some rest.

She couldn't wait to see Sayaka again.
