CHAPTER 1

A New Band Member

"WE DON'T NEED A NEW BAND MEMBER!" yelled Syaoran angrily

Eriol, a handsome young man around the age of eighteen blocked his eyes. He had midnight blue hair and dark sapphire eyes.

"No need to shout, Syaoran." A young woman, a year younger than the boys muttered. Her dark hair was tied up high with a black ribbon and her beautiful amethyst eyes sparkled with amusement.

Syaoran gave a huff of annoyance and folded his arms. With messy chestnut hair and fierce amber eyes, he was very popular with the ladies.

"Syaoran, be logical. We need a vocalist if we want to make it big," pointed out Eriol.

Syaoran turned away and left the room, slamming the door as he did. Eriol and Tomoyo exchanged weary looks.

Syaoran walked outside, enjoying the gentle snow falling on his face. He held out his hand, catching the snow-his face expressionless.

Flashback

"I'm leaving," said Meiling. Tomoyo and Eriol stopped talking and Syaoran stared at her.

"What?" he asked.

Meiling took a deep breath and smiled lightly. "I'm leaving," she repeated. "I'm going to join Zero Velocity."

Flashback end

Syaoran smiled grimly to himself. Meiling had left him. She had left their band, Black Ribbon. Slowly, he trudged through the snow, oblivious to the cold.

"Do you think he will be alright?" asked Tomoyo anxiously.

Eriol stared out the window before replying. "I think he needs time to get use to the idea of a new band member."

Tomoyo sighed. She couldn't believe Meiling would have walked out on them like that! After all, they had all been best friends! And even Syaoran and her….

Tomoyo sighed again. Things were way too complicated. How were they now going to be able to enter the main stream of Japanese music without a singer?

"We shall have to look for someone soon," said Eriol, voicing Tomoyo's thoughts.

Tomoyo looked up, startled. "You mean a vocalist? I'm not sure if Syaoran will be up to it."

Eriol smiled. "Well then, he doesn't need to know, right?"

Tomoyo laughed and returned his smile. Eriol could be so understanding and funny at times!

So secretly, the next day, Eriol and Tomoyo tried to spread the word that they needed a new vocalist and that auditions would be held on Sunday in the Tomeda Hall. They knew Syaoran would be at his mother's function, so it was a perfect time to do it.

"Woah!" said Eriol as he opened the hall door on Sunday. A rather large group of people-mainly girls-stood clustered together, looking eager. Tomoyo raised an eyebrow.

"Looks like we have our hands full," she whispered to Eriol.

They walked over to where a table and two chairs had been set up, slightly self conscious due to the fact that every single person in the hall was watching them.

Eriol fixed the application papers on the table. "Okay. When I call out your name, please step forward. Others, who aren't performing at the moment, please move back."

Tomoyo bit back a laugh as the large group all took a step back simultaneously. They all looked frightened.

"Yumi Nakimisima."

A young girl stepped forward and looked like she had seen a ghost. Tomoyo smiled encouragingly at her. She opened her mouth and began to sing.

Tomoyo shuddered, trying hard not to listen to the horrible girl's voice. Tomoyo tried to look neutral, but her insides were withering. This is going to be a long day…

Eriol and Tomoyo went through five hours of hell. Some could sing a little bit but still it wasn't good enough. Once the group left, Tomoyo banged her head on the table in defeat.

"We are never going to find a new band member!" she said, disheartened.

"Um? Hello?"

A soft clear voice echoed in the hall. Eriol and Tomoyo stared at the girl before them.

She was beautiful! Her medium auburn hair was tied to the side. Her startling emerald eyes shone like jewels. She wore a plain blue singlet with a creamed coloured cropped jacket on top and a short (but not too short to make her look like a slut) black skirt and long brown boots.

She shifted uncomfortably under their gazes. Tomoyo hoped this girl could sing! She could use this girl to model for her! She smiled at that thought.

The girl padded over to them and gave them her application form. Eriol scanned through it, impressed.

"Sakura Kinimoto. You can sing, play the piano and guitar?" he asked. "And also write and compose songs?"

She nodded.

Tomoyo approved of Sakura. She seemed very talented. "Well, let's see what you can do!"

"Do you think I could also play the piano as I sing?" Sakura inquired, pointing to the black sleek piano in the corner.

Eriol nodded and Sakura made her way to the piano. Lifting the lid up she took a deep breath and began to play and sing.

Heaven (Piano Version) by Ayumi Hamasaki

Saigo ni kimi ga hohoende
Massugu ni sashidashita mono wa
Tada amarini kirei sugite
Koraekirezu namida afureta

Ano hi kitto futari wa
Ai ni fureta

Watashitachi wa sagashiatte
Tokini jibun o miushinatte
Yagate mitsukeatta no nara
Donna ketsumatsu ga matte ite mo

Unmei to iu igai
Hoka ni wa nai

la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la

Kimi ga tabidatta ano sora ni
Yasashiku watashi o terasu hoshi ga hikatte

Soba ni ite aisuru hito
Toki o koete katachi o kaete
Futari mada minu mirai ga koko ni
Nee konnanimo nokotteru kara

Sakura closed her eyes, reaching to the climax of the song.

Soba ni ite aisuru hito
Toki o koete katachi o kaete
Futari mada minu mirai ga koko ni
Nokotteru kara

Shinjite aisuru hito
Watashi no naka de kimi wa ikiru
Dakara kore kara saki mo zutto
Sayonara nante iwanai

Ano hi kitto futari wa
Ai ni fureta

Before Tomoyo knew it, she was crying. The song was so sad and Sakura sang it with so much emotion. Her voice was perfect!

Eriol also seemed spellbound. "That was…"

"Beautiful!" finished Tomoyo, standing up and clapping. Eriol followed. Sakura blushed.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes!" said Tomoyo. "Did you write and compose that?"

Sakura nodded. Tomoyo and Eriol turned to face each other and nodded to each other.

"Sakura, welcome to Black Ribbon!" cried Tomoyo.

SORRY FOR MY MISTAKES!

Well, that's done for the Chapter! . Short, eh? The song that Sakura sang was Heaven (Piano Version) by Ayumi Hamasaki. I love that song! It's so sweet and sounds really good! All credits to Ayumi Hamasaki.

Er, you might be wondering why I named their band Black Ribbon, right? It sounds funny I admit…

Well, Black is for you know darkness and everything while Ribbon suggests elegance and innocence. " I know that sounds really retarded. But I liked it.

And for Zero Velocity, I was doing Science so thought 'What the hell? Let's name them after a science term' Yep stupid names .

Please don't flame me or anything! Remember to review! XD
