Dancing with the STARISH

R and S are on a quest

Ren and Natsuki walked around looking for the seniors and their choreographer. Both of them felt confused about their feelings and had some questions weighing on their minds.

Do I like her?

Does she like me back?

Will I even be ok with sharing her with others?

The biggest question on the two singer's brains was how was she able to get them to second guess their feelings about Haruka?

"Hey, Ren...What are we going to do when we find her?" The tall blonde asked.

Ren thought about it for a moment, "Well I don't know about you but I want to put these conflicted feelings to rest."

"Oh...so you did like Mai-chan when you two worked together!" Natsuki exclaimed.

The saxophonist let out a soft chuckle, "Guess I kinda did... I always found her attractive, but one should never base their feelings off of looks alone." Ren pulled a rose from a vase in the corner, "Mai is beautiful but she has thorns and if not handled with care...You will get cut." He gently touched his cheek, remembering the time she slapped him. 'Even saying the wrong things unintentionally will set her off,' he thought.

"Did you do something to make her mad?" The blonde was capable of picking up the hint his friend gave.

"Not intentionally. There are just some words you don't say to women or around them," Ren said.

"Oh like 'Moist' ?"

The strawberry blonde cringed a little when he heard that word. That wasn't the word he was expecting but he can use that as an example, "Yeah like...that word." He clears his throat, "Anyway, what about you? Why did you come with me?"

"I wanted to find Mai..." Natsuki answered.

"Why?" Ren was curious.

The blonde started rubbing the back of his neck, "Well ..." He didn't know the real answer himself. Sure she made him happy when she ate his poisonous cookies even though it did send her to the hospital. Also, the small kiss left a tingling sensation on the corner of his mouth.  Nevertheless, he doesn't know anything about her or her past or her goals or what she likes. "I want to know more about her," he finally answered the question.

"Then it looks like we're after the same thing," Ren pats him on the shoulder and they continued their little mission.

~With Mai and QN~
Mai, Ai, Camus, and Ranmaru sat at the bar as they stared at Reiji. While some of them listened to his stories and jokes, other tried their hardest to ignore him.

"Oh Oh, I got another one! Can a ninja throw a star? Shur-he-can!"Reiji laughed at his own joke and everyone else groaned.

"Shut up already Reiji!" Ranmaru yelled at him.

"Gee Ran-Ran I didn't mean to ROCK you the wrong way!"

"That's it!" The Rockstar chased after Reiji but they didn't get far. Actually, the prankster was using Ai as a barricade.

"Hey! Save it for home boys," she scolded them then notice two people approaching them, "Oh look who's here." Everyone looked over and saw Ren and Natsuki coming there way. "Do you guys need something?" She asked them.

"Actually yes we do!" Mai was caught off guard with how fast the blonde appeared in front of her.

"Oh okay, what do you want?" She asked.

"We want you...."Ren started

"To go on a date with us,"Natsuki finished.

"What?!" Quartet Night yelled. Jealous raged behind those 4 pairs of eyes as they watched one of the juniors ask out their girl.

"Uhh just out of curiosity...Why are you two asking me out?" She did not see this coming. Who would be so bold to ask out a girl that has four boyfriends?

"Because we both like you a lot," The boy with glasses answered.

Mai's cheeks turned slightly pink, "Guys I like you too... but you know it's not just me that you have to win over." She looks back and noticed the looks the men she loves send in their direction.

"I think it would best to discuss this behind closed door," Camus said with his arms crossed over his chest.

The dancer nodded her head in agreement, "Camus is right. We can talk about this in a ....better environment," she noticed a small bit of disappointment in their eyes, "Buuuut we can still bond tonight on the dancefloor." She took their hands and drag the two members of STARISH on to the dance floor, leaving the seniors by themselves.

"We have to stop this," Ranmaru said as he watched them walk away.

"Huh? Why? The more the merrier right?" Reiji said.

"Well if we were playing a game then yes but this is our love lives at stake," the silver haired man looked at his band mates.

"If we add two more, then it would mean our time with her will be cut down," Camus was not happy about having less time with his lady. He rarely gets a break nowadays but when he does he usually spends it with Mai.

" Not exactly, We will still have our designated time with her. Ren Jinguji  and Natsuki Shinomiya would just take Friday's and Saturdays and that would still leave Sunday open for Mai to have relaxation." Ai explained.

"Oh see it doesn't sound that bad," Reiji said and ordered a drink, "One can be the Romantic princely type and the other can the cute bubbly innocent one."

"Hey, this isn't a unanimous vote because I still disagree!" Ranmaru slammed his hand on the bar counter.  "If we have two hyper bubble brains in the group, everyone will go crazy." He looked at Camus, "And that flirt's half-personality is same as yours and that will drive me crazy." Ranmaru was going to fight this till the end.

"How about  a probationary period?"Ai suggested, "They can still spend quality time with her but they won't get the benefits that we have. So they're are not exactly in our circle but we don't reject them till the end of the month.
Everyone thought about the idea for a moment. It sounded like a nice idea because within the time period they can give them a push to stop pursuing their Mai.

"It appears we are all in agreement," Camus said and the other gave a solid nod. Tomorrow was going to be the beginning of the probation period for Ren and Natsuki. However, for now, their going to enjoy the rest of the party.

AN: Wow sorry if this seems short I'm cranking out the next one as we speak. I'm trying to move this to another location and steer this story to the climax.
