Prologue

Life has been good to me so far. Sachiko-sama, who I admire so much, became my Onee-sama, I've gotten to spend time with her, and I've made a new family in the Yamayuri. There were several hiccups along the road, but Onee-sama and I's seour relationship got stronger through these hardships. No more secrets between us. Well, except for one huge mega bomb I'm keeping. Me, Fukuzawa Yumi, is a vampire popstar. Outrageous I know, but believe it.

My family actually comes from a long line of vampires. No, the sun does not burn us to a crisp. I don't have to drink blood yet, so that's good. Vampires grow like humans. So, right now I'm not at the drinking age, when the craving hits. I should be okay. Anyway, I will probably stop aging around my twenties and then very slowly progress from there. It is possible for a vampire to turn a human, but the high council frowns upon excessive turns for pleasure. Murder is also something they frown upon. They believe it's best to keep a low profile and would rather keep the existence of vampires discreet. So only drink to satisfy and not for greed. When vampires are in bloodlust or angry, their eyes turn different intense colors. It depends on the person. And no we don't have psychic powers. Our lives would be so much easier if we did though.

Besides all this hardcore vampire stuff, onto the excitement, I am a pop star. I got by the alias Blood Rose, or just Rose. It all started before I ever encountered Onee-sama. My grandfather and one his old acquaintances decided to make a music studio together. His acquaintance also had a grandson around my age, so instead of having me go alone, we partnered up. I wanted to live a normal and not just be a star. I wanted air and freedom. Suga-kun thought otherwise and just flaunts himself about. We worked well together though and made it big fast. We decided not to go international until I graduated. I really wanted to stay with all my friends.

Yuuki is decided to be our manager. It wants to study business so he can watch over me. Sometimes I wonder if I really am the older twin. It just shows he cares, and I'm glad. He will always be there for me.

Oh no. I spent too much time rambling about my life and now am late to be at the Rose Mansion. Onee-sama is going to kill me. Well here goes another year, hopefully it will be just as exciting as the last.

Surprise Tickets

Yumi cautiously heads up the stairs of the Rose Mansion, knowing full well that an upset Sachiko waits on the other side. Taking a few breaths before the scolding, Yumi opens the door, head down, hoping she isn't noticed, only to take a peek and see her Onee-sama's eyes on her. Here it goes Yumi thinks.

"Yumi, you're late. Where were you?" , Sachiko questions her petite seour.

Yumi tries to come up with something, but knows she can't lie to her Onee-sama, "W-w-well, ummm, I just, ummm….., I'm sorry Onee-sama." When in doubt apologize.

"Be more aware of your surroundings Yumi. A lady is never late", Sachiko remind Yumi.

"Hai, Onee-sama."

Yumi takes a seat at the table, thankful Sachiko has gone easy on her today. Out of the blue, Sei-sama and the rest of the graduated Yamayuri members enter the room.

"Sei-sama!", Yumi exclaims as she stands from her chair.

"Ah, Yumi-chan, missed me already have you." Sei finds it necessary to nearly glomp poor Yumi with her whole body weight, earning a disapproving glare from Sachiko and a squeal from Yumi.

"Sei-sama, would you be so kind as keep your hands off my seour. How about showing affection to your own seour." Sachiko reprimands Sei, barely holding in a growl of protest. Yumi tries to wiggle free.

"Sei, what did I tell you about picking on my rose family?" Youko states.

"Only do it to Yumi when Sachiko isn't around", Sei jokes and gives a playful smirk.

"What!", Sachiko exclaims as she smacks he hands on the table and stands quickly.

"Sei!", Youko yells.

"Hai, hai. Hands off. I got it. It's not my fault she gives the best reactions." Sei graciously lets Yumi free from confinement, putting her hands up in mock surreneder, as Yumi dashes to the other side of room.

"What is with the surpise visit Onee-sama?", Sachiko asks.

"Why don't you tell them Eriko. You love excitement."

"Gladly. Well I suppose you all know about the band with Blood Rose and Suga", Eriko announces. There are nods from everyone, except Sachiko who gives a questioning look to the prior Roses. Yumi notices the looks and is saddened that Sachiko hasn't heard her music. Wait a minute. They aren't gonna say, "Let's go to a concert", are they.

As Eriko continues, "I was lucky enough to apprehend enough tickets for all of us."

"No Way!", Yoshino practically screams. Shimako gives a light chuckle as Rei attempts to get her ears working again. "Eriko-sama, I love you!"

"The concert is this weekend. It would be a nice outing for all of us. We can have dinner before and head over. Don't worry Sachiko, this is one of their smaller concerts, so there will be fewer people." Youko explains to the group.

"I still don't know who this Blood Rose or Soka is." Sachiko says.

"Sachiko-sama, they are only the hottest band right now! They have such a wide range of music and are incredible, and it's Suga, not Soka", Yoshino says.

"I can't go."

Everyone points their eyes towards Yumi, shocked Yumi wouldn't jump on the opportunity to spend time with Sachiko. "Yumi-san. What do you mean? Going to these concerts is a big deal", Yoshino persuades.

"Yeah, but I have to visit my grandfather this weekend, but you guys enjoy. I heard the concerts rock."

"Are you sure Yumi?, Sachiko asks.

"Of course, Onee-sama. This is your last year. Enjoy it to the fullest."

Sachiko was sad that Yumi couldn't join them, but Yumi insisted she should go. Ever since her parents annulled the marriage between her and Suguru, she has been into experiencing more things with Yumi. She needs to grow now and try to experience something without Yumi's help. Plus she wanted to see this so called Bloody Rose.

The Concert

Fukuzawa Residence…

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Yuuki, they are going to the concert, what am I going to do? What if they recognize me? Oh they would know I lied to them. And…and…and…"

"Yumi, look at me and breathe." Yumi takes deep breaths as her brother calms her down. "Now they aren't going to recognize you. There is a reason we bought you contacts and a wig for your alias."

"B-b-but, what if the wig comes off and…"

"No. That has never happened before and it's not going to happen now okay. Suga-kun will protect you on stage okay. We won't let anything go wrong alright. We're behind you one hundred percent."

"Thanks Yuuki. I'm just a little stressed. This is Onee-sama's first time seeing me perform and I can't calm down."

"You'll be alright. Now get ready. Suga-kun will be here to pick us up any minute to head to the stage."

"Ahhh….Why didn't you tell me sooner. He is going to be so mad, if I'm running late again!" Yuuki just shakes his head and leaves his sister to prepare for the show.

Concert Hall…

"They're here!", Yoshino screams like a crazed fan girl. The Yamayuri turn their heads to see a car pull up and the crowd being pushed back by security. Sachiko glances through the crowd to see a man with short white hair and bangs that hang close to where his eyes are, but they are shielded by his sunglasses. Who wears sunglasses at night? He also has on dark skinny jeans and a dark grey v-neck with a black blazer. The fan girls are going crazy, reaching to touch him. He just walks towards the backstage doors, as if no one existed. Looking back towards the car, Sachiko sees another man with shades and a hat on. Must be the manager. He has his hand extended towards the door. As if in slow motion, the palest hand grasps his hand, and then a gorgeous figure his brought forward. She has light auburn hair that reaches to her mid back. She's wearing a red tank top that cuts off near her chest to show off her well-toned abs. She's also sporting a short-sleeved black jacket that also cuts off. Her black shorts and red heels show off her long legs. But what captures Sachiko is the pop star's gaze. Her eyes have a beautiful hazel nut color. Sachiko soon finds the star's gaze looking straight back at her. Something feels familiar but she can't put her finger on it. Next thing she knows, the star winks at her and continues backstage, being far more generous to the crowd than her partner.

"Did you see the legs on that one?" Sei can't help but comment and add a wolf whistle.

"They are gorgeous, aren't they? Well let's head inside and try to get up close." Youko advises.

Backstage…

I winked at Onee-sama. I can't believe I winked at her. What the heck was I thinking. I only caught her gaze because I felt it calling me. I must be going crazy. I just need to calm down and make my fans happy. Yumi pumps herself up and heads to join Suga-kun by the side of the stage. It was going to be a long night.
