"Blair control yourself!" His words shot out like lightning in a storm. "I'm not your toy so get off of me."
"Souuuul~" The sound of her voice made him sick, the way she purred her words as if knowing she had him wrapped around her finger. She was sitting in his lap practically rubbing
herself against him, "Come now Soul, I was just flirting. You know I'd never force you to do something you didn't want."
To hell with her words, they weren't true and they both knew it. He wasn't about to let her take advantage of him again. "Fuck off Blair." She seemed taken aback by what he said, narrowing her eyes in anger.
"Now now, don't bark if you won't bite. Let me be the one to remind you who found your worthless ass on the street, took you in, raised you, and funded your own fucking band. You're nothing without me, so if I want to play with you one minute you better come when I call and when I'm done with you, you'd be wise to sit in the corner and wait for instructions."
He didn't say a word, rather contemplated how he wanted to put what he was planning on saying. Sure she found him after her ran away at the young age of thirteen but that was four years ago. Besides, he shouldn't have to listen to her - she was only three years his elder. The only thing that tied him to her was that she was the daughter of a rich family and willing to pay for his up and coming band "Resonance" when his parents had bashed the idea. Of course, no one in the band was found of her horney ass and wanted her gone. The only catch was the thirty-one thousand dollars they owed her. They were about half way done with clearing that debt but until it was gone for sure they were stuck with her. And somehow, he was the one who got the brunt of the deal. Blair had been after him ever since she found him, he only wished he could go back and stop his stupid thirteen-year old self from agreeing to her fundings. Too late now.
Soul's eyes shot open, knocking himself out of his daze. There was no time for distractions, not now... Not on stage. He took a deep breath and flashed a huge grin showing off his jagged teeth. "Thank you all for coming out tonight, I promise you that you won't regret it!" The crowd began screaming out the band's name.
"It seems your all already acquainted with us," Soul said with a wink, "Never the less we're Resonance!"

Maka ran out of the door after making sure to see her father's red car pull out of the small, dead end neighborhood. She was already late she noted to herself looking down at her watch that now said 9:48
Of course this had to be the one night her father took longer to get out of the house. Usually he was home from work one minute and out the door heading to Chupacabres the next. She hated him. It was because of him that her mother was dead. For that, she'd never forgive him.
She sprinted down the empty streets, panting as she went along. Finally she heard the sound of blaring music and saw the bright purple, green, and blue strobe lights. Looked like they were still in one of their first few songs.
"Thank death..." She mumbled to herself, holding out her ticket to 'Resonance' world tour stop in Death City, Nevada.
She saved up for months and it would have sucked to miss it because her papa couldn't leave the house quick enough. She strolled up to the entrance - or at least what she thought was the entrance - and found nobody there to take her ticket. Confusedly she walked up to the door and knocked on it. To her surprise it swung open.
"Damn it Black Star I told you to lock the door, the wind keeps blowing it open!" A female voice said from the other room. Black Star... That name seemed awfully familiar.
A loud obnoxious voice boomed out in return before Maka managed to place the name. "A god like me doesn't have time to lock doors, now quiet peasant I have to finish getting dressed before we go back onstage."
"Please forgive him Liz... I'll go shut the door." A much gentler voice said, as she rounded to room's corner. Maka's eyes widened as she realized it was Tsubaki, the bass player of Resonance. Nervously she bowed, her face redder than a tomato at its ripest. "I-I'm sorry! Wrong door!"
Tsubaki gave a sweet smile, "It's no problem, it could happen to any of us!" Bless Shinigami she was understanding. Maybe this wasn't so bad, she could probably get out of this without being called security on.
"Well-" before Maka was able to get out more than a word a much harsher, raspier voice spoke. "What the hell's taking you so long Tsubaki, we're on in five!" Yet another person swung around the corner.
A quizzical look crossed his face but quickly shifted into a grimace. "Look no 'guests' are allowed back here. Get out," the boy practically barked, his ruby eyes staring daggers into her emerald ones.
Great... It had to be Soul, the band leader. Her heart both skipped a beat and dropped in embarrassment, "I'm sorry! I thought this was the entrance... Obviously not, I mean here you are lead vocalist... Possibly invest in security? I-I mean... Ignore me. I'm leaving." There she went on rambling, more than likely making the situation worse considering even Tsubaki's courtesy smile had faded into a blank expression. There was more talking from the room they both came from but Maka didn't stay around to confront them too. She bolted for the door, unbeknownst to the fact her jacket caught on the side of the door and her phone fell to the floor.

"Soul, Baki, what was the hold up?" Black Star asked as he headed back towards the stage. Both answered at the same time.
"Just a lost fan."
"A tiny tit stalker."
Black Star laughed obnoxiously at the difference between the two. His laughter continued as he ran onto the stage earning countless screams from the crowd. He was shortly followed by Tsubaki, Patty, Kid, and finally Soul.
Soul took his spot by the mic and winked to a group of girls in the front who proceeded to fight over who it actually was he winked at.
"Sorry for the brief intermission, I hope you all are ready to rock out some more!" Upon Soul's words the crowd burst out into even louder fits of screaming.
"This song's a little one I like to call 'Any Other Way'. It's a brand new song, and y'all are the first to hear it!"
Tsubaki began playing the bass, followed quickly by Kid and Patty strumming their guitars. After a couple of seconds Black Star began banging on his drums.
Finally Soul began singing.
(italics - Soul | underline - Kid/Patty back up vocals)
I am wide awake
And I'm standing tall
Up against the world
Up against the wall
If even possible the crowds cheers grew louder, quickly catching on to the beat clapping along and bobbing their heads.
Between the love and hate
They can hardly wait
To watch the hero fall
You could give me hell
You could give me death
Right before I bend
I will have revenge
Fire through my veins
I will fan the flames
Until my dying breath
The crowd seemed to pause as if time stopped, each person eagerly awaiting the chorus. Soul grabbed the mic and sang into it with everything he could, his bandmates perfectly accompanying his voice.
'Cause I will never go down
Any other way (way)
I will never go down
Any other way (way)
Gasoline pumping through my veins
Dancing on top of the flames
I will never go down
Any other way (way)
I will never go down
Any other way
By now the entire crowd was pumping their hands in the air while jumping up and down. The strobe lights were flashing every which way, only adding to the experience. Each band member putting their all into the music.
Feel the poison now
Slipping through my skin
I'm not giving up
But I'm giving in
To my darker side
To my every sin
So I can fight again
You could give me hell
You could give me death
Right before I bend
I will have revenge
Fire through my veins
I will fan the flames
Until my dying breath
A couple of people in the crowd started singing along to the chorus after have picking up to it the first time through.
'Cause I will never go down
Any other way (way)
I will never go down
Any other way (way)
Gasoline pumping through my veins
Dancing on top of the flames
I will never go down
Any other way (way)
I will never go down
Any other way
Woah oh oh
Ohh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Ohhh
Any other way
Woah oh oh
Ohh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Ohhh
'Cause I will never go down
Any other way
I will never go down
Any other way
I will never go down
Any other way (way)
I will never go down
Any other way (way)
Gasoline pumping through my veins
Dancing on top of the flames
'Cause I will never go down
Any other way
I will never go down
Any other way
'Cause I will never go down
Any other way
I will never go down
Any other way
Gasoline pumping through my veins
Dancing on top of the flames
I will never go down
Any other way
Any other way
Patty and Kid began to sing the countless "woahs" and "ohs" as the song drew to a close.
Woah oh oh
Ohh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Ohhh
Woah oh oh
Ohh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Ohhh
Woah oh oh
Ohh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Ohhh
Whoa oh oh
Ohh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Ohhh
As the song died down the crowd grew to life, cheering for them to continue. Soul gave another signature smirk as the next song started up...
The lights all dimed and but the crowds voice still filled the air. Everyone exited the stage and chatted amongst themselves.
"I think our crowd was bigger than usual." Kid spoke with a smile of accomplishment.
"It just means more followers for me YAHOO!" Black Star pumped his fist in the air obnoxiously as Tsubaki gave a nervous laugh. Liz grabbed Patty in a headlock giving her sisterly support. "I see my clothes were a crowd favorite, and I told you matching outfits would be a hit" Liz smirked remembering Soul and Black Star's complaints when she said all of their costumes for this concert would look similar. Soul just shook his head, ignoring her comment. "It's a good thing we had a big crowd, it means we're that much closer to-"
"To what Soul?" Blair asked popping out from around the corner. "To get rid of me?" Soul frowned at how quickly she guessed his intensions, but at least he didn't have to pretend he liked her. "Pretty much." Soul said keeping up his nonchalant, 'cool' exterior.
"Tch" Blair grimaced when she spoke, "You may be a growing band but you have a long way to go before you'll be out of debt with me."
"Yeah whatever Blair, why don't you go find someone else to play with."
"I swear to god Soul-"
"Now now Blair you know Soul didn't mean it, he's just tired after performing." Kid stepped in between Blair and Soul quickly stopping an upcoming argument. Content with his excuse Blair smiled and skipped away humming.
"Kid you have to stop treating me like-"
"Treating you? Treating you like what Soul, a preteen kid? Because your little 'banters' with Blair put this whole band at risk. As much as you hate it she funds us so suck up your pride for one minute and think about someone other than yourself. So until you stop acting like a 12 year old I'm going to treat you like one." With that Kid stormed out of the room to join up with the rest of the band.
Maybe Kid was right, maybe he had a good point. It didn't matter though, Soul was too prideful to ever admit he was wrong. Why did Kid and him always fight? It wasn't until recently but it seemed like every little thing Soul did sent Kid over the edge.
His train of thought was quickly interrupted by Black Star's snickering. He padded into the room to see what the cause of laughter was. To his surprise Black Star was holding someone's phone.
"Whose is that?" His voice sounded angry, but the band members disregarded it.
Tsubaki was the first to speak up, "I think it's that girl's from before.
Well there it is, the introduction. Sorry if it's a bit fast paced, it'll slow down from here on out. I just wanted to get the basis of this story out and the characters in their places.
Anywho, I plan on adding more songs into each chapter as time goes on, but since this chapter was pretty short I decided to just stick with one.
the song I used in this chapter is 'Any Other Way' by We the Kings
If you have a song you like though, feel free to comment and I'll try to use it!
Remember to follow/review/favorite!
Until next time
