A/N: So, after a long time of not writing anything at all, my mind and my hands became lazy. But when I listened to Rin Matsuoka's catchy character song, 'Aqua Gate', it reminded me of sexy Ichinose Tokiya from UtaPri since they both have the same voice actor. Miraculously, with some sparks of fujoshi fantasy, I finally have a new crossover fanfic! I hope you will enjoy reading this since I really enjoyed writing the prologue while imagining some ****** things that I'll write for future chapters (with unstoppable nosebleed) ~! ^^

Also, this fanfic will focus mostly on music, being idols, and the passionate love among sexy boys (so I killed Nanami Haruka here), but don't worry! Nanase Haruka is still obsessed with pools. (*^o^*)

About the pairings here, I guess I'll stick with STARISH x Haruka x Rin + Swim club members, since I love Nanase Haruka for being an adorable tsundere but it might change depending on the flow of my story, so don't get your hopes up just yet! It might disappoint you later on.

Warning/s: Yaoi (so if you don't like it, don't read this!), some grammatical errors, and slight OOC-ness.

Disclaimer: I don't own Uta no Prince-sama and Free! – Iwatobi Swim Club.

Summary: Tokiya lost his voice due to trauma after witnessing Nanami Haruka's sudden death. Without their composer and Tokiya, STARISH stopped appearing on the spotlight. When everything was about to fall apart, an unexpected hope appeared as a new pair took the Master Course. Will STARISH shine again with these new recruits, or will they disband because of new conflicted feelings for a certain raven-haired composer?

Prologue

Flashes of light almost lightened the dark night sky as the distinguished idol group, STARISH, got out from the white limousine, parked in front of the entrance of the biggest concert hall in Tokyo. Fans, cameramen and reporters flocked immediately around the idols while the guards gave their best in blocking the troublesome crowd so the idols could proceed inside the concert hall. While walking towards the entrance, the red-haired idol, Ittoki Otoya, waved his hands wildly and showed a big smile to his fans, who squealed loudly in delight. The dark-haired idol, Ichinose Tokiya, slowed his pace to nag his fellow idol with a frown.

"Otoya, we're not here to entertain them right now," he whispered irritatingly. Well, he never really liked people flocking around them crazily just because they were so famous. He would greatly appreciate it if they could give them some space sometimes.

Otoya just grinned at him like a kid as he patted Tokiya's right shoulder and ignored his complaint. "Tokiya, come on! Don't act like an unsociable old man for now! Even if we're just gonna watch our kouhai's debut concert, it won't hurt to wave and to smile at our loyal fans! Without their support, we couldn't make it this far as idols right now, right?"

"That's right, Icchi. Show some gratitude to these ladies. And also, frowning is bad for the face, you know," the orange-haired idol, Jinguuji Ren, joined the conversation while winking and blowing flying kisses to the fans, who fainted one by one by his flirty gestures.

"Jinguuji, stop flirting with the fans. We're not here to flirt," the blue-haired idol, Hijirikawa Masato, warned Ren strictly. Ren gave him a teasing smirk.

"Don't worry, Hijirikawa. I'll flirt with you later."

"No, thanks," he declined coldly.

The short, blond-haired idol, Kurusu Syo, had a difficult time waving at his fans since the tall guards were like walls to him. Noticing his distress, the curly-haired idol, Shinomiya Natsuki, picked him up like a teddy bear and waved him to the fans.

"Can you see your fans now, Syo-chan?" he asked cheerfully.

Syo showed a terrified look right after Natsuki picked him up suddenly. He was glad that he finally overcame his fear of heights so he calmed down a bit, but he quickly glared at his tall childhood friend and shouted, "Put me down, you moron! My fans will definitely think of me like a kid-!"

"Syo-kun~! You're so cute~! You're just like an adorable kid~!" one of the fans screamed abruptly, causing Syo to blush in embarrassment.

"My pride as an adult . . . is gone now . . . ," he murmured in depression as he covered his face with his hands which nails were black-polished.

The tanned, green-eyed idol, Aijima Cecil, showed a puzzled look after hearing him. "What are you talking about, Syo? You're still 17 -"

"Shut up, Cecil! You're making me more humiliated, you idiot!" he retorted back angrily as he quickly removed himself from Natsuki's grab. While observing all of the idols like that, the peach-haired composer, Nanami Haruka, chuckled softly and smiled at them. They also smiled back at her in return. For them, she was the most important person in their lives because she was the one who made their dream come true. Who would believe that a clumsy, soft-spoken girl like her was the one who formed STARISH, the number one idol group in Japan right now? Everyone from STARISH truly admired and loved her. However, there was only one special someone who stole her heart right from the very beginning. Holding her tiny hand, Tokiya faced the girl who changed his life completely.

"Haruka, are you fine?" he asked gently, making her blush a bit.

"Ye-yes!" she stuttered nervously since they were holding hands in public.

He showed a worried look. "Hm? Don't you like holding hands with me?"

"It's not like that . . . I'm happy that we're holding hands but at the same time, I also feel shy . . . It's like I'm very lucky to have you, Tokiya-kun . . . ," she explained timidly with red cheeks which made the dark-haired idol chuckle happily.

"Cute," he complimented before kissing her cheek. Her face was literally bright red after he did that to her. The other members of STARISH were totally jealous as they watched them being lovey-dovey to each other. Even though Shining Saotome finally allowed them to have a romantic relationship with someone, they still had a hard time accepting the fact that Haruka chose Tokiya over them. Many people thought that if you were an idol, it would be a piece of cake to get the love of your life, but it seemed like that was hardly true for them. Also, they weren't given a chance even once to prove that their love for her was stronger than anyone else. Well, they understood that Tokiya was the reason why she became a composer, and what could they even expect in return from a very dense girl like her even if they give the world to her? That just proved how hard and unfair love was. As the hearty atmosphere between the two lovebirds became unbearable for the others, Ren tried to break it by making them conscious of their presence.

"Hey, Icchi. We're here, you know."

Understanding his statement, Tokiya bowed a little to apologize and to respect their feelings since he was a fellow man, too. He knew that everybody else loved his girlfriend. Even if he was proud to have her, he still considered their feelings for her.

"Sorry, guys. I'll control myself next time," he said. Hearing his honest words, the other guys became relieved but somehow, it still irked them a bit when he mentioned the 'I'll control myself next time' part. When they were almost close to their seats, the peach-haired girl halted abruptly from her tracks while rummaging through her red handbag anxiously.

"It's not here . . . ! Where did it go . . . ?" she mumbled, sweating nervously.

"Haruka, what's wrong?" the dark-haired idol asked when he noticed her anxiety.

Biting her lower lip while thinking about something important that she probably dropped off somewhere, she suddenly thought of an idea where she dropped it accidentally. Thus she turned around and quickly ran away.

"I must have dropped it there . . . !" she exclaimed, causing the whole idol group to panic.

"Nanami, where are you going?!" shouted Otoya as they immediately ran after her.

"Haru-chan, will you tell us first what's wrong?! Haru-chan!" screamed Natsuki, trying to run as fast as he could but he was not a fast runner and Haruka started running first before them so the distance between them were too big. Even Syo, the most athletic one among them, was having a hard time catching up with her. It would take a while before he could outrun her.

"Nanami, it's dangerous to run while wearing tall heels! Slow down!" the blue-haired idol shouted desperately for he didn't want her to trip down and to get herself injured. However, Haruka was somewhat more determined than them. When she finally exited the building, she still continued to run until she spotted the most important thing in her life that she dropped off accidentally – the sapphire bracelet that Tokiya gave her during her birthday. Without hesitation, she ran towards the road. Her action made the idols pale and stiff.

"Haruka! Don't go there!" warned Tokiya, seeing that the stop light became green, and vehicles started to run forward furiously.

Everything went slow when Haruka ignored her surroundings just to retrieve the bracelet in the road.

"Please, stop . . ."

An incoming truck's horn rang through the area as it tried to warn her to back away but her body suddenly froze due to terror right after she picked up the bracelet.

"Run . . ."

Haruka's golden irises shrank rapidly when she saw the truck almost close to her.

"Haruka, get away from there!" shrieked Tokiya nervously as he tried to run there to protect her, but it was too late as the screeching sound of a halting truck echoed through the silent night.

"HARUKA!"

Without mercy, she died right in front of him while still holding the most wonderful gift she received throughout her life.

A/N: That's it for the prologue! I know that everything went too fast here but I think this might really happen to Haruka since she's clumsy and careless, you know. So the FREE! cast aren't mentioned here yet but they will be introduced in the first chapter so look forward to it~! Reviews are greatly appreciated so I hope you leave a review to make me know about your thoughts here. See you next time~! (^_^)v
