Ch. 2

Your POV:

I awoke with a start, and sighed. Today was the day that STARISH was going to have their last live concert before they leave for America.

I brushed me hair, and let it hang loosely around my face. Then, I put on a cropped top, a high waisted skirt, thigh high socks, and sneakers. Just as I opened the door, I was met with my second favorite senpai, Mikaze Ai. He cocked his head to the side, and grabbed my wrist. He dragged me toward the entrance.

"Ai-senpai!" I cried, trying to get out of his death grip. "Nani shite iru no desu?!"

He turned to me, his poker face mildly serious. "You're late." He answered.

"I don't go by your crazy schedule, senpai." I answered simply.

"Iie," he said. "You're the opening act, aren't you?"

"Hai," I answered.

"It's noon," he answered, tossing me into the car, then, hopping in after me.

QUARTET NIGHT was in the car, Camus and Ranmaru lounging silently, and Rei-chan greeting me with all smiles. "___________-chan!" He said, laughing. "Doushita? Are you sad because To-" I elbowed him in the stomach. "Oomph!"

Ranmaru smirked. "Nani? Is there a secret you are keeping, ___________?"

Ai looked at me. "Nani? Is Ranmaru the only one who doesn't know that __________ has taken a liking to Ichinose?"

My mouth dropped. "A-Ai-senpai!" I cried.

He smirked. "Nani, that was a secret?"

I blushed. "Atarimaideshou!" I yelled.

Camus smiled a little. "Mou, mou," he said. "To us senpais, it's pretty obvious when you're in love."

Rei-chan threw an arm over me and smiled. "Ne, imouto-chan?!"

I smiled a little. "Hai, hai," I said, letting Rei-chan hold an arm around me. "But, I could see it in his eyes," I said again. "He hates me."

"So, it's kataomoi?" Ranmaru asked. "Ara, I thought you didn't do things half hearted, imouto-chan?"

"But, you all know that STARISH-tachi are all in love with Nanami-senpai. I don't stand a chance against her. Especially with her talent."

QUARTET NIGHT kept silent, I wasn't so sure that they knew how to comfort me when that comment was true. I sighed, but, Rei-chan's arm stayed around my shoulder, silently comforting me.

I was slowly lifted up onto the stage. The slow intro of the song played.

"Saisho ni mitsumeta ano toki kaze no kaori ga shita

Natsukashii egao

Fushigi na chikara ni yobarete meguriaeta imi ni

Kidzuite hayaku hiroi sora no shita zutto sagashiteta

Atsui anata no hitomi wo

Kono unmei wa utsukushiku

Watashi no namida wo kagayakaseru kara

Donna omoide ga hikitomete mo

Mou nido to furimukanai sonna ki ga shita

Anata ni nobashita yubisaki fukai yami no iro ni

Somerarete yuku no

Tsumetai arashi ni mezameru tooi yume ga itsuka

Honto ni natte mo
