Rivals to Lovers

Chapter 1:

Summary: AU The upcoming Pavillon festival of the year is in another four months. It's the perfect chance for two rivaling bands to show how great they are. It's gonna be Secret Stars vs Shock Zone. Problem is they're going to work together for the event instead of fighting each other. Will four months change their lives forever? AxI RxN UxK YxK YxY OCxOC All song requests are accepted!

Hey there, this is my first Shugo Chara Fanfic! :D I'm not sure if this is gonna be good or not, but I'll try to get better each chapter :)

This is an AU some of these places are made up (aside from the countries). No Shugo Charas here and everyone in the series of Shugo Chara (all) are either pop stars or models or some other famous profession.

And yes all song requests are accepted! Just add it to your review! (e.g. Nagi: Payphone, Rima: On the floor feat. Ikuto, etc) But please stay with English, Japanese or Korean :D

Also, constructive criticism and advice in any form are accepted! :)

Here are my OCs!

Inoue Meiku

Appearance: She has caramel brunette hair that flows to just at her waist with long side bangs reaching her shoulders, framing her almost tan face. She has chocolate brown eyes with rather long eyelashes

Inoue Meiku is the rapper of the group and is known for her fan-made nickname, Boyish One. She is an impulsive and naive person and is always ready for an adventure, complementing her courageous and bold persona. Meiku is known to be an extreme tomboy and loves to skateboard, taken after her father (a martial artist), giving her a rather aggressive and competitive character and her ability to fight and defend herself. Despite her tough and independent self, she is a considerate and honest individual, taken after her mother (a famous baker).

Tsukino Minoru

Appearance: He has messy greyish-blue hair and matching greyish-blue eyes

Tsukino Minoru is the cool and quiet one of the group, complementing his nickname, Cool One. He is composed and collected, rarely acting uncontrolled. He is shy towards people he doesn't really know and is cautious and rather distant towards them. In spite of that, he is a warm and compassionate individual, caring towards both people and animals. Minoru is the Tsukino CEOs' only son and is the future heir to the Tsukino Financial Group, making him a well-behaved and polite fellow. As a result of his homeschool and course-taking life before, he is shown to be multi-talented in sports, cooking and playing instruments, namely basketball, soccer and the guitar.

Meiku's P.O.V (3rd January)

(What Is) LOVE? by Jennifer Lopez

All:

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

The stage was simple, but hey, simple is good enough. The stage smoke covered the stage; the only things seen are our shadows. The concert hall was packed with Koreans. I could hear the fans behind us, practically screaming our names and trying to get their hands on us. But thank Kamisama for high security in Korea.

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Not that I need it of course, I can defend myself after all. I adjusted my microphone-headset, using the stage smoke for advantage. At my cue, I turned around. Walking closer to the front stage, I gave them my signature playful smile, earning myself wolf whistles from the guys and screams from the girls.

Meiku:

People told me I should write a love song

Girl, you sound so angry, you could use some variation

But I'm lonely, negative relations

I've been hurt so many times I don't have the patience

Amu turned around, facing the crowd with her cool and spicy expression on. Fans were swooning and cheering for her as she struck a pose, putting one of her hands on her half-clad hips. She gave the crowd a cool two-finger salute and her signature expressionless pokerface, making the crowd go wild.

Amu:

But I've wished for so long for someone to come and show me

Lead by example 'cause I've been waiting

I've tried every age, I'm so tired of the game

I wanna be somebody's girl, would you show me the way?

Yaya twirled around and gave the fans kisses and a cute wink. I can already see her fans having heart-eyes. Literally. She skipped to her position behind me, still giving kisses. She gave the crowd another wink and placed her peace sign fingers right beside her right eye.

Yaya:

What if I never find and I'm left behind

Should I keep hoping for love?

What if I'm still the same

Status doesn't change?

Gotta keep hoping for love

All:

What is love?

What is love? (M: Somebody show me)

What is love?

What is love? (U: 'Cause if you told me)

What is love?

What is love? (MU: I wouldn't be lonely)

What is love?

Please show me

What is love?

Utau-nee really outdid herself with her outfit. She gave the crowd a sexy smile, tilting her head to her shoulder. Yep, more than a quarter of the guys in the crowd fainted. Utau-nee started tracing her body from the sides, starting from her bust to the lower thighs, leaving guys drooling over her.

Utau:

I've had blind dates, hooked up with some real flakes

I've gone out with church boys, musician's are the worst

I've tried so hard 'cause I'm just so die hard

Tried my best to play the part, wish you could see inside

Rima kept her body still, choosing to turn her head over her shoulder instead, letting her curly blond locks be thrown back. She placed a hand behind her head and used the other for playing with the end of her locks. The perfect pose captured full attention from the guys.

Rima:

But I've wished for so long for someone to come and show me

Lead by example 'cause I've been waiting

I've tried every age, I'm so tired of the game

I wanna be somebody's girl, Would you show me the way?

Yaya:

What if I never find and I'm left behind

Should I keep hoping for love?

What if I'm still the same

Status doesn't change?

Gotta keep hoping for love

All:

What is love?

What is love? (M: Somebody show me)

What is love?

What is love? (U: 'Cause if you told me)

What is love?

What is love? (MU: I wouldn't be lonely)

What is love?

Please show me

What is love?

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na

"There you have it Korea! Japanese's own girl band sensation! Give your love to the Secret Stars!"

(SS Private Jet)

"Great work today minna!"

"Arigato Sanjou-san, this concert practically boosted our popularity more than enough," Utau cheered.

"Cheers to yet another successful concert!" Amu said, raising her wine glass.

Clink!

I let the burning liquid enter my throat. I stuck out my tongue in disgust and chugged down a bottle of water. I hate alcoholic drinks. I checked the time and it showed 2:00 AM, two hours left till we arrive in Japan. I plopped down on one of the beanbag chairs and grabbed a Wii remote, followed by Utau-nee.

One hour passed and everyone was now doing their own thing. Our manager, Yukari was by the bar station, drunk, with our tsundere pinkette friend, Amu constantly trying to keep her away from the glasses of liquor placed on the counter. Flaming auras were surrounding me the brunette tomboy, Meiku and the blonde leader, Utau-nee, turning us to ferocious, competitive monsters as we were playing Wii Kart. The hyperactive redhead, Yaya was stuffing herself by the refreshments table and the comedy-loving blonde, Rima was reading the latest release of her favourite gag manga.

Yep, quite a strange team indeed.

I probably shouldn't say this, but at times I get so scared… When I think about the previous… Relationship we shared…

The ringtone kept going on and on. It was '7 things', my first single and my audition song. It was released around ten months ago; I'm still surprised it hit the hot 100 charts the night it was released.

"Meiku, your iPod!" Amu called. My vein throbbed, I originally wanted to groan but it accidentally came out as an annoyed roar, yeah roar, scaring the living daylights out of the pinkette. My bad.

With an exasperated sigh, the irritated petite blonde got up, grabbed the iPod and frowned, "It's a tweet from Lulu." Lulu is my childhood friend and is a famous MC and hostess of talk show, Hey y'all!.

I had pressed the pause button a little too hard and shot up almost immediately, dashing to her while grinning like an idiot, "Why didn't you say it's Lu-chan?"

Everyone except Yukari instantly sweatdropped, each thought identical to the other. I was positive they thought something like 'Is she bipolar?' or something like that.

I glanced at the screen, reading it to myself, "Hmm? She wants me to read it out loud… Should I? Or… what? What do you guys think?"

If there's anything Utau-nee and Rima have in common, it's their quick temper. The two impatient blondes simultaneously yelled, "SPILL IT WOMAN!"

"Fine, fine," I made an 'ahem' sound and started reading, imitating Lulu's Nagoya accent to make it sound more real, "Howdy y'all! Congratulations on the huge success this past year, Secret Stars has been mentioned millions of times in my talk show. So anyway, the Pavillon festival is held in four months and I'm hosting it! The festival arranger said I can choose two main entertainment performers for the festival and guess what? I choose Secret Stars! The other one's a secret though, so don't bother asking. Be at Suprema Studios in Luxis city by 4th January at 8 AM sharp. Don't be late, wouldn't want the other band to wait long would you? That's all, ciao! See y'all tomorrow!"

Silence.

Everyone in the room was quiet, but I broke it, adding a tilted head to my already confused expression, "Uhh… what is the Pavillon festival?" Gasps were heard and the girls surrounded me as if I was going to be arrested.

"You've never been to the PAVILLON FESTIVAL?!" I felt my eardrums explode and suddenly felt faint, managing to stand up with the support of Yaya.

Once I felt strong enough to stand, I shrugged, "I'm from Mizuka, remember? Plus I'm not really interested with festivals." Mizuka is a countryside-like town on the edge of Japan. It's a famous tourist attraction, but most of the inhabitants are lower classed, including me.

They made a small group huddle and began whispering, then returned back to me with serious expressions.

"Well the Pavillon festival is the biggest festival of the year," Amu said. I had my eyebrows raised, questioning no one in particular.

Yaya stopped munching on her candy and began explaining, "Every super famous superstars, bands, performers and such are usually asked to perform there." Hmm… now that you mention it, Secret Stars just got noticed as eye-catching a year ago…

"It's the perfect opportunity for showing how talented you are," Rima distinctly added. Wow, that's one way to put it plainly.

Utau-nee suddenly smirked with a vengeful expression on her face, "It's also the perfect chance for us to show Shock Zone how amazing we are!"

I was frightened by Utau-nee's expression, but managed to stutter out, "Sh-Shock… Z-Zone…?"

Minoru's P.O.V (SZ's Luxis Penthouse)

"There you have it Korea! Japanese's own girl band sensation! Give your love to the Secret Stars!"

The sounds coming from the TV was obviously heard from the kitchen. Although I can't see a thing from here, I'm certain the setting of the show was in a concert hall, proved right by the loud cheers emitting from the TV.

Nagihiko-san and I peered at the others from the kitchen. Ikuto-san was feeding his cat, Yoru with sardines, Kukai-san was watching TV while drooling for some reason and Kairi-san was reading a book, occasionally looking up at the TV. Nikaidou-san was nowhere in sight and I reckon he's in his room or going out. Nagihiko-san and I were doing the dishes.

"Yo Kukai, there are flies here, you know," I heard Nagihiko-san mentioned from beside me. Kukai-san remained, unaffected and I watched as flies literally got into his mouth.

"I got it," Ikuto-san set Yoru on the carpeted floor and closed Kukai-san's mouth for him. I watched as he choked on the flies and tried holding my laughter, to no avail.

Once Kukai-san stopped choking, he gave us a reassuring grin, "I'm fine! Gomen, it's just… she looks so sexy…" I assume he was talking about Hoshina Utau, his ex-girlfriend. Although I'm not sure what happened, he always says how he misses her a lot and thinks about her all the time, which made me assume that he regretted it.

I wiped my hands on a stray cloth and made my way to the living room. I watched the TV. Secret Stars was still on. My whole body froze when I saw her. Her eyes, the ones that always captured my attention. Her hair, that always makes me want to reach out and stroke it. Her smile, that never fails to make my heart skip a beat.

"M-Meiku…chan?"

Kukai-san gave me a puzzled look, "Huh? No, I meant Utau."

I then realized, I had blurted her name. My face flushed red in embarrassment and I had secretly hoped no one noticed. "Your face is burning, Tsukino-san." I turned to Kairi-san, wondering how he noticed and how he said it so plainly.

Everyone except Kairi-san suddenly closed in on me, smug expressions plastered. Ikuto-san was first to speak, his smirk ever-so evident, "You like her, don't you?"

Nagihiko-san had a smug smile, hidden beneath his fake sickly sweet smile, "How sweet."

Kukai-san had chanted the 'kissing in the tree' song, but before I was aware what had happened afterwards, I noticed Kukai-san on the ground, a fist mark apparent on his cheek. That was very unlike my self-controlled-ness.

Unbeknownst to them, I had my grip tightened on the red string bracelet around my wrist.

"Gomen, man. I didn't think it was such a touchy subject." I helped Kukai-san up and plopped down at the luxurious white leather sofa, trying hard not to think of the brunette.

I glanced at the wall clock. 6 AM. Two hours before we have to be in Suprema Studios. Lulu-chan did say we have to be there at 8 AM sharp. I wonder who the other band is?

My train of thoughts was brought to a halt as screams were heard from the TV. It was fans, screaming in the background.

"Italy! Let's give a warm welcome to our favourite Japanese boy band! Give your love to… Shock Zone!"

All of us turned to the TV, unamused. We just had that concert yesterday and it's not a surprise it'd show up in TV a day later. That's what you get for being a sensational boy band.

Halfway There by Big Time Rush

The concert hall was filled with fans, laser lights flickering to all directions. The stage itself was dark, a few spotlights moving around wildly. We were exposed finally when the spotlight flashed at us, thousands of fangirls screaming.

A single spotlight shone on Ikuto-san and he gave the crowd a wink, sending girls swooning all over. He then twirled, giving a paw gesture and a tongue out combo, resembling much of a cat, making the fangirls go crazy.

Ikuto:

When the chips are down

Back against the wall

Got no more to give

Cause we gave it all

Seems like going the distance is unrealistic

But we're too far from the start

Kukai-san did a backward flip and gave a toothy grin at the crowd, making girls blushing and screaming. Afterwards, he gave fans high-fives and a charming wink.

Kukai:

So we take what comes and we keep on going

Leaning on each other's shoulders

Then we turn around

And see we've come so far somehow

Nagihiko-san played with a thorn-less rose and threw it to the fans; his fans then started a mini World War III for it. He then smirked and seductively blew a kiss to the audience, once again declaring war amongst his fans.

Nagihiko:

We're halfway there

We're looking good now

Nothing's gonna get in the way

All:

We're halfway there

And looking back now

I never thought that I'd ever say

We're halfway there

I saw myself on the TV did a cool two-finger salute at the spectators, watching as my fans turn into untamed animals. I then did an attractive hair flick and smirk combo, making my fans screaming as loud as they can.

Minoru:

If we never flew

We would never fall

If the world was ours

We would have it all

Nagihiko:

But the life we live

Isn't so simplistic

You just don't get what you want

Kairi-san turned his head to the side in a disinterested manner, making his fans screaming for his cool indifference. He then turned to the crowd and crossed his arms while pushing his glasses up, his fans roaring once again.

Kairi:

So we take what comes

And we keep on going

Leaning on each other's shoulders

Then we turn around

And see we've come so far somehow

Nagihiko:

We're halfway there

We're looking good now

Nothing's gonna get in the way

All:

We're halfway there

And looking back now

I never thought that I'd ever say

We're halfway there

Kairi:

How are you ever gonna reach the stars

If you never get off the ground

And you'll always be where you are

If you let life knock you down

Minoru:

We're halfway there

We're looking good now

Nothing's gonna get in the way

All:

We're halfway there

And looking back now

I never thought that I'd ever say

Nagihiko:

We're halfway there (Kairi: We're halfway there)

We're halfway there (Kukai: We're halfway there)

We're halfway there (Ikuto: We're halfway there)

Minoru:

We're halfway there (Kairi: We're halfway there)

We're halfway there (Kukai: We're halfway there)

We're halfway there (Ikuto: We're halfway there)

Kairi:

We're halfway there

Kukai:

We're halfway there

And with that, Nikaidou-san appeared and turned the TV off.

Nikaidou-san smirked at us, "Ready to show Secret Stars what we're made of?"

DONEEE! :D
