Prologue
It wasn't like she didn't have any choice. It wasn't like she was forced to do it, either. But she'd be damned to Hell if she even admits to the whole world that she was enjoying their little escapade.
Hino Kahoko looked around her surroundings, the sound of blasting rock music nearby was numbing her brain; nevertheless, Kahoko wasn't complaining. She flinched in anxiety when she felt eyes staring intensely at her as if the people present at their location were expecting something major from her, which they undoubtedly were.
Kahoko sighed deeply, almost strumming the wrong string of her guitar as the colorful, bright lights shone upon her. She inwardly groaned, thinking it was a good thing that she didn't commit a mistake during their live concert or else he would have her head as compensation.
Kahoko walked to the center of the stage after their leader's eyes and her own met, a silent order being passed between them. She felt hot and sweaty, even though she was only wearing a black t-shirt decorated with a white dragon, denim trousers that had a ripped section on her left knee, and matching black sneakers. Her fiery red hair was tied up in a ponytail, but no matter how simple clothed she was, Kahoko was perspiring as if she had participated in a marathon.
Once she reached the center, Kahoko grabbed the microphone, cringing when the lights focused on her; their heat escalating to a couple of degrees centigrade, making her sweat even more— Kahoko thought the amount of perspiration she was giving off could match that of the waters of Niagara Falls.
"Are you guys ready to rock?" Kahoko shouted through the microphone, eyeing the eager audiences from above the broad stage. They looked like ants from where she stood; their numbers shocking Kahoko since she didn't expect to have a lot of people listen to their concert. They stretched outwards until she couldn't see the others anymore.
Their audiences gave a cry of excitement, and they either waved their hands or pumped their fists in the air. Kahoko repeated the question, and got a louder response as if to motivate the band further. She grinned, all anxiousness from earlier disappearing bit by bit as she realized that they were enjoying their music.
Kahoko looked up at the night sky; the stars looked beautiful and the silver orb was glimmering ever so slightly, casting gentle rays on the earth beneath it. Kahoko then shifted her gaze to her companions and smiled at them, mouthing something what seemed to be a plan. They smiled back at her and nodded their head in conformity, and their leader gave a thumbs up as if to assure her that he was fine with her decision.
The redhead turned back towards their awaiting audience and, in a clear voice, yelled, "Then we will now present you the second song from our newest album! It's called Thorny Desires, so please listen to us!"
With that, the song began— the drums giving off a catchy, steady beat; the keyboards, electric violins and guitars providing a vibrant and stimulating rhythm.
Kahoko adjusted the strap of her guitar on her shoulder, started strumming a beautiful tune on her own guitar and sang on the microphone.
It was the start of her career.
