Chapter One: The Legend That Started With A Legend
The legend began long ago in a place known far and wide for its music and wealth, peaceful and prosperous was the Kingdom of Meusa. The kingdom was ruled by its female leaders, the nine muses of music, bringers of melody, mightiest of all the singers and composers. The muses looked down on the people fairly and they were good leaders, they let love, courage and hope reign over the kingdom for its well being. The beauty of the kingdom was a legend for its towns lay deep beyond the ground, as if an enchanted music box, the skill of the muses in making music was unequaled. Gems and diamonds were hewn from rocks, running like rivers were the silver and gold through stones. Everything seemed perfect but the peaceful and plenty days were not everlasting. In a blink of an eye, the moments turned bitter and the dark endless nights slowly arrived.
There came a traveler from another kingdom, a woman who had such a wonderful voice that it charmed everyone around her, she was more beautiful and amazing than the muses. It was her who created the most amazing melodies and songs, she had a heart of gold and personality as clean as white, deemed as the goddess of music. Soon, the villagers had grown to love her for she was kind and brave, the muses long forgotten. Filled with jealousy and darkness the muses tried to get rid of her using their musical instruments, to put her in a deep sleep. The lady was never been found since then and the people thought that she had gone to continue her journey.
Years had passed and still the girl has not awoken from her deep sleep for only the greatest musicians can revive her from her dream.
That was the legend, the legend of the world's greatest diva, the Prima Donna.
Even until this day, it is said that history will repeat itself and continue the said legend.
New idols have bloomed and new history had been made because of an industry that just recently started over the month, Blackjack industry. The people liked their artists because they were unique and different, even their idols that were newly discovered had already long surpassed HEAVENS, especially one unit group that was awarded as rookie of the year, DARK. Although their entertainers were amazing on stage and on screen, perfect in singing and dancing, melodious in harmonization, they still couldn't surpass the idols that recently won the UtaPri awards, the unit group of seven members with a female composer, STARISH of Shining entertainment.
Syo slightly twitched as he looked at the faces of DARK that was printed on the cover page of KaraMel magazine, it had been four issues since they've been on the front page, "Look guys, they're on the front page again!" he pointed to the magazine, the members of STARISH didn't bother to look at him or at the thing that he was holding and pretended to not care because it was as if they were busy living in their own little world, well everyone except their composer with a golden heart and pure white soul.
"Is that the members of DARK, Syo-kun?" Haruka asked forcing a smile on her face as she sweat dropped. The members of STARISH finally turned to look at the magazine Syo was holding because they had heard the words of their composer. Syo looked at them with a scowl and twitched while he gazed at Haruka with a sweet smile on his face.
Syo who was recently nodding flipped the magazine on the table, the back page facing upwards so that he couldn't see the faces of the new idols, "Yeah, it's them… again. I mean, what do those people like about them, they're so… gloomy, like Tokiya back at the academy." Tokiya who was silently looking at somewhere turned to look at him with one of his eyebrows raised. The other members of STARISH held themselves for an upcoming laughter but then paused when Tokiya looked at them with a glare that if it rained, the rain around them would freeze into ice.
Haruka slightly gulped, "Well, isn't that because their… umm… unique?" she replied with a question. Cecil couldn't agree less in the statement of his so-called princess. Syo looked up in the air thinking about what their composer had just said.
Natsuki took the magazine from the table and looked at the faces of DARK, flowers surrounding him, "Your right Haru-chan the members of DARK are unique idols! They have this image of darkness, nightmares and everything bad about the world! They are like fallen dark angels with black wings trying to soar above the sky to go back to the place where they came from trying to find the light to regain their pure white wings again!" he said with a slight shout, his team mates just looked at him with a 'Huh?' look on their faces. The flowers around Natsuki then dropped as he noticed his favorite character on the bottom side of the magazine's front page, "And look, it's Piyo-chan." he pointed unto the picture and showed it off to everyone inside the room but, it only made Syo face palm.
"Well Shinomiya-san, they look like that because that's part of their image, still, they got to be popular in such a short time," Tokiya declared and the others nodded in agreement. It was fast, after three weeks of their debut, DARK had already been everywhere, magazines, talk shows and even on billboards, everybody in the entertainment world knew about them. Even the members of STARISH had a hard time accepting that the members of DARK were rapidly catching up to their abilities, it was a hundred percept sure that they would be nominated in this year's UtaPri award.
"It's not like they are going to steal the UtaPri award from us… right?" Otoya asked, slightly unsure of his statement. The members thought of a possibility and imagined that it was possible if it was the members of DARK, they could win against them. Still, they had a lot of time to prepare, it was still December and four more months to go before the UtaPri awards, they'll be fine if they did their work calmly and just like always. They will not get their hopes up because they know that being nominated in the UtaPri awards would be as hard as before. Plus, new idols other than DARK had appeared and they are just as powerful as the members HEAVENS.
"Calm down guys, you still have your comeba—" Haruka was about to say something to the members of STARISH but was cut off by Reiji, a member of Quartet Night, the upperclassmen of STARISH. All eyes immediately went to him, spotlight on him as if he was performing on the stage.
Reiji waved a hand happily as he cut off Haruka will a loud cheerful shout, "Kohai-tatchi~! Haru-Haru~!" he walked inside the room with his team mates behind him. Ai was silent and monotone, Ranmaru had his hands inside his pockets and Camus was walking as formal as before, they were just like the same as they were everyday, calm and collected, except for Reiji who was more cheerful than before. It was rare for them to show themselves gathered together in front of STARISH and Haruka, something must be up and their underclassmen noticed that.
Haruka stood up from her seat and straightened herself up, "W-What is it senpai?" she stuttered, slightly nervous. All this time, after months of being with Quartet Night, she still couldn't get used to them and it was probably because they were her upperclassmen so she felt that she needed to respect them. Reiji grinned at her noticing that she was stiff as ever as if she knew the reason why they showed up. The members of STARISH also noticed how their composer acted and they concluded that she was hiding something very important from them.
"The headmaster is looking for you, he said something about you showing him the music sheet for the comeback melody of STARISH's song. Well, is the song ready yet Haru-Haru?" Reiji asked as the members of STARISH narrowed their eyes, their minds taking a while to process what Reiji had recently said. Ren was the first one to understand to be followed by Tokiya, the rest were still thinking about Reiji's words.
Cecil looked at Haruka with a confused look on his face, not fully familiar to their subject of conversation, "What does that mean Haruka?" he asked. Haruka just gave him a smile and that was when he understood what it meant. It meant comeback for STARISH and it meant a new song.
Haruka looked at Reiji and nodded a yes, "Well, it took a while for me to finish it but it's done Kotobuki-senpai." She took a folder containing the music sheets inside her bag. Reiji smiled widely as he held Haruka's hand and dragged her towards the Headmaster's office to be followed by the members of Quartet Night, just like that, the members of STARISH were left inside the room, silent.
The members of Quartet Night and Haruka arrived in the Headmaster's office that was just meters away from the room where STARISH is. Shining Saotome, the headmaster, was sitting on his chair facing the people in front of him, he then grinned a wide smile, "You are dismissed, Quartet Night," he said, the members of Quartet Night following his orders. Ranmaru, Camus and Ai went out of the room without a word while Reiji saluted at Shining as he closed the door. The moment the door was closed, Shining immediately gave Haruka papers.
Haruka eyed the files of papers with confusion, "What are these, Shining-san?" she asked, looking at the pages one by one. Shining just turned his chair around, letting Haruka read the papers that he gave her. That was when it hit her when she read the uppermost words on the very top of the paper, transfer form, it was already filled with things she needed to put and the only thing missing was her signature but there was more, the name of the Blackjack company was written on the file.
"It's basically a form that says that you are going to quit Shining Agency and transfer to the Blackjack Agency," Shining replied to her question. Haruka gasped at his statement, she placed the papers on his table and headed towards the door without a word. This wasn't what she was called for, she was called to turn in the song for STARISH's comeback live. About to go out of the room, Shining's words stopped her, "There are consequences if you don't agree Miss Nanami, not only you will get affected, also the members of STARISH. This is for the better so I want you to think about it."
"What have I… done wrong Shining-san?" she asked her voice as loud as a whisper but can be still heard. A dozen of questions started to roam inside her mind, questions left alone unanswered. It was just like back then in the academy when Shining told her that she's not fit to be STARISH's composer, was he tricking her again? Haruka looked at Shining, full of confidence, needing answers. Shining silently looked at her with a serious mask covering his face, the callousness of his gestures as if a slap on her cheek. Her heart was thumping like no end, she was really nervous at her current situation.
Shining then spoke up, "You know that there are only three types of people in the world Nanami-san, the entertainers, the leaders and the observers. Sometimes we need to lessen them to put up a better show, am I right? The thing is modernization and civilization, STARISH had already a lot of good songs but this is the twenty-first century Nanami-san, we need something new, something out of the box, something better than Maji 2000% love. Plus, Blackjack entertainment will improve your skills Miss Nanami. They are perfect for you."
"I can still create a song better than Maji 2000% love, sensei." Haruka shot back at him, defending herself, not letting him antagonize her skills. At first she joined Shining Agency because he said that what's important is the emotion and not the perfection but she was wrong. She shouldn't have believed their words. She should've known that they were aiming for the better and fame, not to bring joy and happiness to the people listening to their music.
"Maji 2000% love is your limit Miss Nanami," Shining said, his voice filled with malice. Haruka's eyes widened as if hope and courage had disappeared in her soul, it was the first time that she was underestimated this much. Although she was thought to be a girl that is full of kindness, innocence and fragility, even lasses like her can be serious if needed just to protect things that are needed to be kept. She also remembered Otoya's words back inside the Haunted house which were 'I will protect you' the words that made her feel safe.
With that in mind, she stood up bravely in front of him, she slightly looked down at him trying to stop her eyes from watering due to fear as she replied, "No." with that, she went out of the room with the folder containing STARISH's comeback song, if he only wished a miracle to happen she could've have given it to him. Haruka held the folder in her hands tighter as she walked a little faster, trying to get away near Shining as fast as possible. To be honest, he disgusted her with his words.
As she reached the room where the members of STARISH and Quartet Night were, she immediately fell on her knees, all the boys then came flocking around her asking her questions that received no answers from the lady until it was Otoya who asked a question, "What happened Nanami?" he asked, concern a hundred percent visible on his voice and his eyes, he raised her face with his hands to look at her. Haruka looked up at him as tears started to fall from her eyes, Cecil gasped along with the others while Ai, Camus, Ranmaru, Syo and Masato who had no skill and idea on how to stop a girl from crying stood at the corner really concerned as they felt helpless hearing Haruka cry, meanwhile, the others who were near her panicked except for Tokiya and Ren.
"Haruka?" Cecil who took over from Otoya who was nearly fainting asked.
"I did it Cecil-san." she smiled as she cried at the same time, her cheeks flushed from crying. Ren and Natsuki looked at each other thinking what she did and what she meant by her words.
Cecil confused and worried, wiped her tears away and asked, "W-What did you do?" He wondered if something happened at the Headmaster's office. If so, he promised to beat Shining Saotome up even if he's his boss. No one makes his princess cry and gets away with it. Making Haruka cry is like the key to death if you did so. Just imagine seven guys, beating you up to death.
"I'm fine Cecil-san, t-thank you." Haruka said with a bow, standing up from the floor, wiping her tears away. Cecil sat on the floor looking up at her with a 'What?' look. All the boys sighed in relief for she finally stopped crying except the ones who heard her speak for they were still speechless, concerned and dumbfounded about her words and what had recently happened moments ago.
Ren unconvinced asked a question, "What had really happened back there little lamb?"
Haruka stiffened as if a block of ice and the guys noticed her uneasiness, "Well, I thought that Shining-san was going to reject the song but thankfully he accepted it," she said, Ranmaru slightly twitching for he detected her lie. She was a bad liar and everyone knew it. Suddenly, Shining's words had echoed in her mind and it made her head hurt but enduring it was the best way so that the boys won't find out. The words coming back at her were almost as if it was someone whispering from the darkness trying to convince her but still, the justice in her heart prevailed and she didn't mind it.
Night came and Haruka still couldn't sleep, the ticking that came from the clock was all she could hear from the deafening silence her room contains. She stood up from her bed and headed towards her desk, taking out a bunch of music sheets, a pencil and an eraser, she was ready to make music. Hours had passed and it was two in the morning, two hours after midnight, still the stars were there, she had already made two songs with complete melodies and that was when she heard tapping from her roof. At first she deemed and thought that it was the sound of rain falling but then noticed that water wasn't dripping from the clouds, it wasn't raining at all. She stood up from her seat and opened the sliding door that connected her room to the veranda, looking around and not seeing anything, she only heard the tapping that created a melody. That was when she figured out where the sound came from, it came from the roof above her room. She looked above and saw a figure that looked like he or she was tapping knives on the roof and making melody out of it. Haruka's eyes widened in shock, she immediately ran inside her room, scared, but when she was about to close the door, she was grabbed from behind, an object pointed at her neck, it was as if she was ready to be killed by cutting her head off. Haruka who was nervous, kept quiet thinking that it would save her life.
Closing her eyes shut, she nervously and hardly breathed. That was when she heard a laugh comparable to the chiming of bells, the thing pointed at her now gone. She turned around only to see a boy who was about the same age as her, he had frosty white hair and baby blue neon-like eyes. He smiled at her with a beautiful one and said, "Mifune Sora, at your service." He then grabbed Haruka's hand as they climbed up the ladder that leads to the roof. They sat down near each other, their bodies only centimeters away.
The girl kindly, sweetly and genuinely smiled at him in response.
Reaching the roof after a couple of seconds, Haruka decided to ask Sora who was looking at the stars with a smile on his face, "Umm, Mifune-san… wh—" she was then cut off by Sora himself, his gaze still not separated from the stars. It was as if he was in love with them, admiring their shine and beauty. As if the sky itself, Sora's eyes reflected the gems that shone brightly in the sky.
"The stars are pretty aren't they?" Sora asked, his eyes glistening like glitter. Haruka herself had grown to admire the pretty color of Sora's eyes which was in a shade of clear baby blue. Sora's eyes matched some of the star's color and it only made Haruka look at him with awe. As if cloaked with beautiful mystery, Sora looked like an enchanted boy, almost as handsome as a prince. She does not ask him why he loves to look at the stars so much but instead she looks at the same spot where Sora's eyes are focused on. She then realizes that he was right. The sky was clear and no clouds were seen. It was as if she was looking at diamonds and rubies that connected with each other.
"Y-Yes, they are." Was all Haruka could reply, stunned and amazed at the sight. She never thought that anything would be a better view than the setting sun itself, she was wrong and she herself admits it. She giggles and Sora gets amused by her, Haruka doesn't notice that as she stares at the sky, Sora's gaze switches unto her face.
"Did you know?" Sora asked his voice was calm, sweet and mild, his lips then suddenly curls into a smile.
Haruka notices that Sora looked at her but is to oblivious and clueless, it was as if she noticed nothing, she then asks him with a sweet hum of a tune, "Hmm?"
"The oldest stories ever told were written on the stars. Legends, myths, everything," Sora said, his gaze going back to the sky. Haruka looks at him and notices the hope in his eyes for it was as if Sora was wishing at the stars, hoping that a dream of his would somehow come true. She looked at him with a sigh noticing the fault in herself, when had she stopped hoping things? Maybe that's why her luck is so bad. She has no dreams. Haruka slightly frowns and she clenches her hands.
"There is no end for a legend Haruka," the male added.
Haruka tries to say something but is then cut off by a melody with words from Sora, "Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you. Go see the world 'cause it's all so brand new. Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine. It's just a matter of time before we learn how to fly. Welcome to the rhythm of the night. There's something in the air you can't deny," Haruka slightly smiled, he had a very wonderful voice not to mention he sang in perfect English. Sora stopped singing then sweetly smiled at her. He successfully made her rise from her depression seconds ago.
Haruka then realizes what she was thinking and returns to the world, out of her imagination, "By the way, Mifune-san, what were you doing on the roof, tapping err… drum sticks?" she asked looking at his hands, Sora smiled as he threw the sticks unto the air, catches both of it and taps it on the roof. Sora continues to tap and creates a melody it was as if he was a Picasso with the sticks he was holding.
"I play the drums quite well. Anyways, how do you not know about that? You have seen me on the television haven't you? I mean all the fans know that I play the drums as a hobby. You know me, you recognize me, you have seen me before right?" he asked, Haruka signals a reply of 'no'. With that, Sora sighs. How come she didn't know him? It was as if his heart was just broken into pieces, it affected his feelings, slightly.
"I'm from NLive Entertainment, Sora of the unit group WISH. You're just pretending that you don't know me, are you?" he continues his statement and receives the same reply from Haruka. Sora felt an upcoming face palm but his gentlemanliness made it go away. After seconds of silence, he finally recovered. He should've been careful, who knew that a quiet girl like Haruka can easily affect his feelings by saying she doesn't know him.
"Alright, then how about this, I introduce myself fully and you introduce yourself fully too? Deal?" he suggests, giving his hand to Haruka for a handshake. Thankfully, Haruka was kind enough to agree with him even though he was just a complete stranger who was stargazing on her roof.
Sora coughed, "Alright, since I'm a guy, I'll go first. My name is Mifune Sora, seventeen years of age, born in the eighteenth of the month January, my occupation is I am an idol in a certain unit group called WISH, I am WISH's lead dancer, I play the drums as a hobby, currently single and I love to watch the stars. Oh and I have ninja like reflexes, nin-nin." he then made a ninja sign with his hands. Yeah, he had ninja like reflexes because he had managed to go up Haruka's roof without her noticing him after all. Haruka slightly giggled, having fun. Sora smiled at her amused that she's finally laughing for she was so stiff and tense in front of him seconds ago.
Haruka slightly smiled, embarrassed. She hadn't done this kind of thing before so she was slightly nervous, "Umm… My name is Nanami Haruka, seventeen years of age, born in the twenty-first month of May, my occupation is I am a composer of the unit group STARISH and I play the piano to create melodies," she announced. Sora's eyes slightly widened in shock, she was the composer of STARISH?
"Cool! You're the composer of STARISH? Then we get to meet each other again!" Sora asked with a smile on his face, he held both of Haruka's hands in his. Haruka tilted her head to the side, wondering what he meant. Did his group also aim for the UtaPri awards?
"We'll both meet again, where?" Haruka asked so that her questions will have answers.
Holding Haruka's hands Sora winked at her and replied, "At the UtaPri awards, we'll meet there." he carried Haruka bridal style and jumped off the roof unto the veranda, he then let go of her. Now that proved it, he really had ninja like reflexes. He jumped from the roof unto the veranda even though there was a ladder just beside them for he thought that jumping was faster.
"At the UtaPri awards?" she asked, her eyes narrowing, confused. As if Sora never carried her and jumped from the roof unto her veranda, Haruka continued their conversation normally without pauses.
"Yeah, and probably somewhere along the road, my group WISH is also aiming to win the UtaPri awards so don't underestimate us, were pretty good in performing you know. By the way, anytime you need help or miss me just shout my name and I shall swim the seven seas just to see you," Sora teased her as he threw a flying kiss towards her, walked inside Haruka's room and to the door, ready to go out. Opening the door, he mouthed a goodbye to Haruka.
Haruka gulped nervously, "What if they catch you?" she asked. Sora knew what she meant. She meant about STARISH because if they catch him coming out of her room, big misunderstandings will occur. Sora silently smiled at her and made a ninja sign with his hands. Haruka nodded okay. That's right, he had ninja like reflexes. Haruka waved at him goodbye and he happily smiled at her. And with that he was gone in a blink of an eye. Ohh, she forgot to ask him the most important question. Why was he on her roof stargazing anyways?
And just like that, Romeo was gone.
The next day, after Haruka took a bath and changed her clothes, she was welcomed by a scream that belonged to a member of STARISH. She immediately ran towards the living room with her heels on, "Cecil-san, Ai-kun? What happened?" she asked, worried as she ran towards the men who were sitting on the living room's couch. Cecil's hand was getting treated by Masato as he wrapped bandages around his injured wound while Ai who just finished getting treated, sat beside Cecil.
"They were attacked last night, by an unknown person." Camus who was leaning against the wall spoke up. Haruka calmly thought about it. It couldn't be possibly Sora because he was with her and went home nearly in the morning, plus, he couldn't injure someone with a stick, but he had ninja like reflexes and what if- her thoughts were cut off by no one other than one of her upperclassmen, Ai. He had noticed that she was thinking about something.
"Do you have somebody in mind Nanami?" Ai asked, scanning her as if he was a browser. Haruka shook her head and that was when he remembered someone other than the guy he met last night, Shining Saotome. He would do everything just to grant his wishes. Haruka then suddenly ran away towards the Headmaster's office. Of course, he would be the master mind of all this trouble.
The boys just looked at her as she ran away as they asked themselves, what exactly happened?
Knocking on the headmaster's door and opening it, she was greeted by Shining Saotome who was clapping his hands with a smile on her face. She wasn't wrong. It was him. "Sensei, did you know that Cecil-kun was attacked last night?" Haruka asked him. She was trying more like forcing herself to be kind with her words for no one had ever heard her curse before. Her tone also sounded like she was facing a child not an adult. Shining didn't reply to her but instead, he placed the previous transfer form he had shown her on his table along with a pen. Haruka looked to the side trying to stop her tears for a second then walked towards the table and signed the paper. She had no choice. It was fate's undeniable desire that this had happened.
Now she was officially Blackjack's.
