Chapter 1- Opening note
The crowd was going wild. Cheers filled the whole auditorium as the set finished playing. Up on the stage a group of four young males were waving to the crowd, taking their bows and preparing for an encore. Emblazoned behind the band was their name 'The Teenage Wolves'. Lights danced across the crowd as a surge of noise enveloped the band. The lead singer turned to his band mates flashing a quick smile, indicating that they start the new set. His name was Yamato Ishida, he had platinum blond hair, sparkling azure eyes and a smile which melted the hearts of most females. The rest of the band was made of Yutaka Kyomi –the bass player, Akira –the keyboard player, and Takashi Yuki- the drummer. Takashi, a dark-haired male with green eyes, began a beat and the song kicked off to a mass of screams from the crowd...
"Yama-kun that was another awesome concert. Well done." Yamato's best friend Taichi Yagami walked into the dressing room. On top of his head rested the nest of unruly brown hair that was the topic of many arguments with Tai's parents.
"Yo, Tai-kun!" Yamato clasped his friend's arm and pulled him into a brotherly embrace. The dressing room door opened again and the rest of the Teenage Wolves piled in, jumping onto the two friends.
"Woo-hoo!" Yutaka exclaimed, shaking his blond head in excitement.
"I love a good concert and that was wicked, man!" Akira said. Yamato laughed, Akira rarely spoke preferring to listen to whatever was currently on his iPod but whenever he did say something, he generally said the truth.
"Good enough for a record deal?" Takashi asked the question that was weighing on everyone's mind. The Teenage Wolves had been together for two years, performing at random venues, slowly building up a solid fan-base. The logical next step was to properly enter the showbiz industry, however they had been unsuccessful thus far in procuring a contract.
"Guys, you're fantastic and I'm sure you'll get that record deal soon." Tai said in an effort to lift the rapidly sinking spirits in the room. Taichi was the unofficial member of the group, doing as much as possible to try and help the band get noticed. He even went as far as to help set up a website with Koushiro Izumi, their computer-whizz friend. But so far they came up with zilch. Yamato sighed and smiled wearing at his friend, it was hard work trying to reach the big-time, that's for sure. Yamato just hoped it'd be worth it in the end...
Lory Takarada, the president of L.M.E, looked out of his office window and sighed. The office currently looked like a tropical paradise and he was dressed in an outfit to match, bird calls and the sound of running water filled the room. The only thing that showed that the room was indeed an office was the desk that Lory was sat at. He was known for his rather eccentric tendencies which involved dressing in overly extravagant outfits and bringing along props to match- some of his wilder ideas included a pirate ship on wheels that sailed through the halls of the L.M.E building with himself at the helm etc etc.
Lory sighed again. The tropical paradise was supposed to help sooth his nerves but he just had too much on his mind. Damnit! Sometimes he wondered why he started L.M.E but then he'd see some quality talent like Mogami-san and that just made the whole experience worthwhile. Thinking about his young prodigy, Kyōko Mogami brought a smile to his face. That girl was so full of surprises; creating the Love Me section just may have been one of his greater business decisions.
Lory's smile slowly turned into a frown, as his mind wondered to Kyoko's childhood friend, Sho Fuwa. Lory was well aware of Kyoko's reason for originally coming to L.M.E which was one reason why he made the Love Me section- so that she'll learn to love again...But Sho Fuwa was dominating the charts at the moment, it was hard not to be reminded of him when his songs were being played on practically every radio station and music channel throughout Japan.
Lory sighed once more. What he really needed was fresh new music talent that had real potential. They needed to be passionate about their music and they also had to look good. Lory ran his hand through his hair. It'd been worrying him for some time now that none of L.M.E's musicians were getting as much publicity as Queen Agency's Sho Fuwa. This new act had to be good with the potential to knock Sho Fuwa and La Vie Ghoul out of the charts.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in." Lory called. The door opened revealing the head of the music division in L.M.E Seiji Kurosawa.
"Ohayō gozaimasu, shachō-sama. You called for me." Seiji bowed respectfully. Lory smiled, he could see the beads of sweat building up on the side of Seiji's face the minute he walked into the office, eyes nervously surveying the room. Many of the staff just couldn't take his extravagant behaviour.
"Ohayō gozaimasu, Seiji-san. Do you have the papers?" Lory asked. Seiji passed Lory the bundle of files he had carried into the office and sat nervously opposite the President.
"Hmm!"
"If I may shachō-sama, I personally think these two acts have real potential." Seiji gestured to the two files at the top of the pile. Lory skimmed through the contents of the entire pile.
"Yes, ask them to come for auditions. Personally I'm rather interested in this group, I've heard a lot about them from my grand-daughter. They seem to have quite a following for unsigned artists..." The president passed Seiji the file.
"Um, shachō-sama. Do you want me to contact them."
Lory smiled briefly. He turned to Seiji eyes sparkling.
"Not yet, I want to see what they are going to do..."
Author's note: So that's chapter 1. I hope you like. I've wanted to write a fic for both Digimon and Skip Beat! for a while now. I hope you like the crossover idea. Reviews will be greatly appreciated and ideas for new chapters. Trust me there is a lot to come from this story and possible pairings. Thanks, BM16.
