Uta no Prince Sama ~ Brand New Breeze ~ Chapter 1: Meet Nozomi.
Starish and their senpais, Quartet Night, along with Haruka Nanami, their composer, were heading towards the meeting room because they were summoned by the President.
"I wonder what will be this time?" Otoya asked.
"Is it another announcement for the Utapri Award?" Syo answered.
"Whatever it is, we should do and accomplish the task given to us." Masato said.
"Ah!" Haruka saw the image of the three idols who were so familiar with them.
"What is it, Nanami-chan?" Reiji asked.
"Umm.."
Just then the group also noticed what Haruka saw. It was them: Heavens.
"We meet again, Haruka." Eiichi attempted to approach Haruka but...
"Get away from our composer." Syo said annoyingly as him, Ottoya and Masato guarded Haruka in front.
"It's these guys again." Ai asked.
"Oh they have additional pretty boys with them." Nagi gave Ai aw bored look.
"That's not how you treat your senpais." Ranmaru gave Nagi a piercing look.
"Senpais?" Then as if remembering something he widened his eyes and, "Oh! Quartet Night. Nice to meet you."
"Yeah Right." Ranmaru scowled.
"Some attitude for a senpai." Nagi smirked.
"Some attitude for someone like you." Camus talked back.
"Ran. Camus." Reiji sighed.
"What's with that? You guys, are nothing." Nagi trying to provoked them.
"What?" Ranmaru raised an eyebrow.
"I said you guys are nothing." Nagi repeated.
"Come again."
"What's happening here?" In the midst of the tension, they heard a husky voice from somewhere. "So unproffessional. Is this how your agency taught you?"
The whole gang saw someone going down from the stairs. A never seen face, it has the same face of a man and somehow soft like a woman. "What's with the ruckus?"
"Mi-chan-!"
"Nozomi-san!"
Both Reiji and Haruka exclaimed. Both are surprised.
The person chuckled. "Seems like you can still remember me." It was very pleasant to hear. It sounds almost like a girl but it was deep like a guy's. The person rolled his eyes to eye everyone and seemed to be pause when he saw Ai and smiled at him. Everyone in the hall fell silent.
"Seems like your little argument was interupted by me. That's better since this is not a place for fights."
"We were not fighting..." Syo tried to explain.
"Hmm?" Nozomi looked at the short person.
"..." He looked away and was left speechless.
"Who are you?" said in a rude way.
The person smiled, "My name is Nozomi Miharu for those who don't know me. I am Reiji's childhood friend and..." he moved closer to Haruka and took her hands like they were bestfriends, "Haruka's sensei."
"EH?!"
They arrived at the large meeting area unsettled and still bothered. All of them are there and no one's talking still waiting for the President. The teachers were busy talking with themselves, and Nozomi is another mystery person appeared.
Back in the hallway...
"Nanami's sensei... you mean..?" Otoya said in a confused manner as he moved his head from Nozomi to Haruka.
"I was the one who taught Nanami how to play instruments better. Though I think she learned it first from someone else, I nourished that talent... and her composing." Nozomi answered.
"Nozomi-san was also the one who recommended me to enter Saotome Gakuen." Haruka said smilingly.
"What another ally from the losers?" Nagi butted in.
Nozomi heard it and move towards Nagi and flick his forhead. "Ouch what did you do that for?" Nagi shouted while touching his head.
"I don't like how your mouth functions, I'm gonna discipline you until I'm satisfied." Nozomi smiled.
"WHAT?" Nagi seemed to be annoyed of this new fellow.
"Mi-chan, since when did you arrived from America?" Reiji asked.
"Earlier morning." Nozomi answered.
"You didn't even contacted me?" "I'm sorry. I didn't have time to do that since it was so sudden." He chuckled and continued, "The offer was so interesting I just have to cancel all my plans in America and go home here instantly for the contract." He rolled his eyes again to Ai and stared at him, "And I heard something from someone so there's something I need to do here..."
"Something?"
Nozomi smiled at Reiji's confused expression.
"Hey, you, I don't know who you are but- Ow!" Nagi tried to talk once again but was then flicked in the forehead by Nozomi. "That's the second time-"
"First!" Nozomi raised his finger, "You have no right to bad mouth me."
"WHAT-"
He raised another finger, "Second, we will have more time together, -san, since I will be with you 24/7 from now on."
"WHAT?!"
"Nice to meet you, Heavens. I am Nozomi. 14. Your new composer. Let's have a good time together." Nozomi smiled.
That made everyone even more dumbstruck.
Now, they are all waiting for the president to come and they actually wanted to leave immediately but they are really curious on how good this Nozomi person is.
"Ne, Nanami-chan, is that Nozomi really good?" Otoya whispered to Haruka.
"Eh? Yes, everyone call Nozomi-san a genius and a prodigy back then since Nozomi-san can play more that 5 instruments." Haruka answered back.
"EH?!" Otoya exclaimed.
"Otoyan, you're loud." Reiji tried to rebuke Otoya.
"Reiji-senpai, you know that person right? Tell us something." Syo entered the conversation as the others were listening.
"Yeah I'm also quite curious about it." Masato added.
Reiji looked quite troubled with his kouhais pleading eyes. He sighed "Okay." He eventually gave up. "Like Haruka-chan said, Mie-chan is a young genius in music. Mi-chan can play various instruments in a young age and can sing different pitches of notes without any difficulty."
"Hmm..."
"What is it, Cecil?" Reiji noticed Cecil.
"Seems like it is not only Haruka who is gifted by the muses but also this person... I can also sense power in that person's inner soul." Cecil explained.
"Eh? Is it that dangerous since that person is going to be that other group's composer?" Otoya said in an alarming manner.
"Yeah." Reiji said smilingly. "But have faith in Haruka-chan, ne, Haruka-chan?"
"H-hai! I'll do my best." Haruka said.
"By sing you mean, that person was also an idol before?" Ai asked. The other were surprised because it was rare for Ai to ask and be curious in a person but Reiji still tried to answer him, "Y-yeah." He answered in a low voice than usual. "Mi-chan composed his own songs and... also composed songs for me and... my other friend back then."
"Whoa! That's amazing!" Syo exclaimed.
"A new person from America, who can sing, play instruments and compose at the same time." Ichinose muttered.
"Well, isn't that interesting." Ren smiled.
"But he looks like a nice person to me!" "Eh?" Reiji was surprised with Otoya's statement.
"Why?"
"Err.. nothing anyways... Mi-chan can also dance and act... He's... he's a true expert in every field of being an idol."
Everyone fell silent and stared at the new person who was talking to HEAVENS. The three people were surprisingly behaved.
"Hmm..." Ai left thinking.
"But Mie-chan left for America to pursue voice acting and study showbusiness. It was a long time ago since I've seen him. Though I hear his achievements on TV's and News." Reiji added.
"Such person entering as a rival could be really tricky." Ichinose said.
"Nanda, we got the Lady with us and our skills. We won't lose." Ren said.
"Yeah!" everyone said in chorus.
"I wonder about that?" A sudden voice from somewhere was heard inside the room.
"Gek. It's the president again." Ryuya said in a somehow disgusted expression.
Out of the sudden, he appeared from above. "Shining!" Ringo greeted him.
"Ha-ha-ha! It's really good to see you again, Miharu-san. You're looking better than the last time I saw you!" Shining greeted Nozomi.
"Thank you very much, Saotome-san. I am also happy to see you so well." Nozomi greeted back.
"Ha-ha-ha!"
"He can actually go with the president's antics." Otoya whispered to Syo's ear.
"That Mie-chan for you." Reiji smiled approvingly.
"I got an approval from Raging for you and HEAVENS to be part of this project!" Shining said excitedly.
"It's a little sudden but yoroshiku ne, Nozomi-chan." Ringo continued.
"Hai!" Nozomi answered.
"That's right. Nozomi will be the composer for Heavens from now on and a rival for Haruka. Is it nice to have you sensei and senpai as your rival?"
"..." Nanami paused and looked at Nozomi.
Nozomi seems to realized what Haruka was feeling at the moment and tried to say something, "To be honest, I am really happy that I could see how you do Hana-chan. I'm so proud you are already in this stage in a short amount of time. Let's do our best together." Nozomi moved to give Haruka a handshake.
Haruka was a bit troubled with the thought of competing with Nozomi. She looked up to the person and he was smiling at her. His eyes were happy, it was not a lie when he said he was happy to see her and wishing her luck. She smiled back and grabbed his hand, "Yes, me too. Nozomi-san."
Nozomi chuckled.
Shining clapped his hands "A very good sportmanship. Miss Haruka, Nozomi desu. Though all of you will be going in the same place for a trip in one month. You have to come back here with your own solo songs and 2 group songs to present."
"WHAT?" STARISH in chorus.
"No one told you that?" Nozomi looked at Starish wondering.
"NO! So we have to be with those..." Syo looking at HEAVENS who looked bored enough to leave.
"That's our line, we don't have time to be hanging around with- OUCH!"
An eraser flew on Nagi's head. "Your badmouth needs to be fixed." Nozomi smiled.
"You deserve it." Syo said with a tongue out to tease the other party.
"Huh?!" Nagi was about to stand when he noticed Nozomi looking at him.
"Syo-chan!" Natsuki interfered.
"Nagi." Eicchi called Nagi to settle down.
"I forgot to mention... Mie-chan is a master of 3 types of martial arts. I don't think you want to mess up with him." Reiji warned Nagi. He seemed to take the warning and went back to sit.
"Ha-ha-ha! I'm really amused! This would be an interesting trip!" Saotome said cheerfully.
"Indeed." Ringo said smilingly.
"Interesting, you say. Looks like trouble." Ryuya sighed.
Nozomi smiled.
