Into the fire
Summary: Easy. Yukina and Shizuru are the agents of the two top bands around, Power Pulse and the Don't Play With Fire. (I made up the band names. I'll change 'em if I find something better.) Yukina manages Power pulse, a rockin' guy band. They are on the top of every 'to do guy' list, and Shizuru manages Don't Play With Fire, the hottest girl band around, these two girls are on every guys 'date and keep' list. What will happen when these two bands meet? Stand back and watch the fireworks. (Pairings revealed soon enough.)
Chapter 1 – freaking out the press. (Short, more of a prologue.)
"Botan! Botan, over here! I'm Miss Fera with the Hip Hop Monthly magazine. You and your friend here, Keiko, are one step from the top. How do you feel about this?" "Keiko! How did you and Botan meet?" "Botan! What's your favorite song?" "Keiko, are you involved with any one right now?" Botan and Keiko sighed in defeat. They'd run all day, but the damn press wouldn't leave them alone. Botan was one step from snapping. "Botan this?" and "Keiko that?" it got on her nerves so much.
"Botan! Are you involved with any one?" That did it. She snapped. "God bloody damnit! If I wasn't ten minutes ago, what makes you think I am now!" She jumped up from where she was sitting, glaring at the cameras. "We were just trying to keep your fans updated…" She growled at the woman and ran her hands threw her long blue hair, "Look, we're called Don't Play With Fire for a reason lady. And if you don't stop stalking me, I'll show you why!"
The woman gave her an indignant look, "This is a live broadcast!" Botan smirked, "Good, then you can't mess my words around. Alright fans, listen close. These 'updates' on our lives the press are 'asking' for, were not asked for. They dig around our trash, stalk us all week, and wire our houses to find out we hugged our brother. And they turn it into a love affair." Botan stopped and let Keiko speak, "Yeah. I haven't been able to use our washrooms in our place for a month. Do you girls know what it's like to have a stalker who's trying to kill you? Well the press is just like that. They're trying to tear down our music, make our words into weapons."
There was a click and the TV. screen went blank. "Girls, what have I told you about snapping on the media, during a live broadcast?" Botan rolled her eyes at their manager, "Say what you can before they can turn it into 'I like pink'?" Shizuru sighed, "And?" Botan nudged Keiko in the ribs. "Oh yeah. Don't say anything to anger them?" "Yes! And look what you've done! Now we have to move! Again! And I know just where, it'll keep you and the press happy."Botan turned to Keiko, "I don't like the sound of that." "Me either." They turned back to seizure when the phone rang. They watched their agent, and friend, put it on speaker phone and a nice, cheerful, slightly stressed voice came out of the speaker.
'Hello Shizuru, how are you?' "Hello Yukina. I'd like you to meet my clients, Don't Play With Fire. I trust you saw their, um….outburst earlier on TV?" 'Yes I did. And I completely agree with what you talked to me about. All we have to do is slip something to the press, and they can stay here until it blows over.' Shizuru smirked at Botan and Keiko's look of horror. "You don't mean…." "Not that!" "Anything! Please no! I thought we were friends?" It was so pathetic when they begged. She loved it, it gave her power.
"As you can hear Yukina, they get it. Do your boys need any convincing?" 'No, I can just block all their TV channels until they agree. You can move in tomorrow.' Botan could hear some whining and complaining on the other end. Well at least the guys weren't into it either. "Ha, they're being forced to do something they don't want to!" Keiko slapped her hand to her forehead, "Umm, Botan? Yeah, so are we."
They heard a soft click as Yukina hung up. They had met Yukina, seen pictures of 'her boys' and read some interviews. But they'd never met the guys. But they knew Yukina and Shizuru were up to something. And it meant boy trouble for them.
