So I am back with another chapter for this! XD I'm really looking forward to writing this story! So disclaimer, I do not own Burn by Ellie Goulding. That's basically the only song I used for this chapter. Also don't own sekai or an of it's characters. I do own the sassy twins that are known as Aki and Haru XD Anyways enjoy the chapter~


Chapter 2

We had found Chiaki hiding in a corner of the meeting room, blocked by boxes full of fliers.

"What the heck are you doing Chiaki?" Chiaki's manager, slash my cousin slash Haru said.

"I'm contemplating life" Chiaki says in a fake voice, that you can tell he's just making up an excuse.

"In a corner, blocked by boxes?" Kisa asks raising an eyebrow.

I sigh having encountered this scene many times. It's just Chiaki trying to escape his busy schedule. That or he's trying to hide away from Hatori again. We usually threatened him with calling Hatori, when he gets like this. I mean I don't blame him; I've been in a similar position before. I've wanted to escape from my hectic schedule, but when you become famous there is just no time at all for anything!

Plus it's not like I can escape with the kind of manager I have. Kisa and I both got stuck with Aki as a manager and you do not want to piss him off! Trust me! Just thinking about it makes me want to run and hide in my room. Again, not like it can be possible since he has the keys to my house. How did he get them again? That was my fault for wanting to get away from work for a couple of hours, which ended up in him knocking down my door. In as it turned out, he made me give him my spare keys to the house.

"Okay we get it Chiaki you want to hide, but do that at a later time. We've got plans for next weekend" I say taking his arm, making him stand up.

"Oh and they are?" He says intrigued.

"We have to perform as a group at some publishing company party" Kisa says losing interest and sitting down on the couch nearest to us.

"Wait… Don't tell me the company is named Marukawa?" Chiaki says paling up.

"How did you know that?" Haru says curiously.

"No no no! Anywhere else, but there!" Chiaki says waving his arms from side to side frantically.

"Is there a problem with that? Plus it's not going to be held there necessarily, it's going to be held at the Teito Hotel. So make sure to dress in a fancy, comfortable, looking pop outfit" Haru says nudging his glasses up, trying to sound smart.

I will not even question why the heck he is wearing glasses. There is always something new happening in his mind. I would not want to know what is going up there in his brain at all! It's probably full of dirty thoughts of him and his boyfriend Yuu. Oh gosh, just thinking about it makes me gag! That it's not something I should be thinking about when it comes to my cousin!

"Where the heck are we supposed to find that kind of outfit?" Kisa asks looking confused.

"Leave that to me newbies!" Aki says entering the meeting room in high heels, and dressed like a girl like always.

This is so going to turn out well right? I can just feel the excitement in the air! Yeah right! Aki has this weird fashion sense that I do not look forward to finding out what he will make us wear now.

~Meanwhile at Marukawa~

Takano P.O.V

"So you're telling us that a group of singers are going to be the attraction of the party?" Yukina says looking as confused as the rest of us.

"Of course! Who else?! By the way Yukina you will also perform a song" Isaka says crossing his arms in front of him and giving us a smile. The smile that says, you can't disagree with me on this one, because if you do gods help you.

Leave it to Isaka to come up with something ridiculous. I mean even if the party is just for editors and authors, who's to say this group is any good? I do feel bad for Yukina though. Ever since Isaka found out he's good at singing, he's been making him the attraction of parties. He has the looks for it, but he refuses to show his face in public, so he hides behind a mask when he sings at our parties. Pretty smart in my opinion, I wouldn't want people getting all over my personal space either if I were him.

"Dang it not again Isaka-san!" Yukina whines sighing in defeat.

We all learned that dealing with Isaka is a lost cause, so we just agree with what he says. No matter how hard it is to say no.

"Well it is settled! I'm not giving out the names if the singers, because I figured you'd be criticizing them, so you'd just have to wait and see" Isaka claps his hands and immediately looks at me once he finishes.

"Hey how am I supposed to now if they are any good? You know how I am when it comes to criticizing songs and or books. I need actual material to like" I say shrugging.

No one argues with me on that one. I do tend to look at everything from different angles, but I need to be interested in your book or song, or you as a person really. If I don't like it, I just don't. When it comes to my authors though, I try to make them redo something that is out of place.

"Anyways that concludes this meeting. So pay attention to your emails, I might ask some of you to help out at the party. And Takano your one of them" Isaka says smiling and leaving the room before I could protest.

Great now I'm stuck going to the party and helping out.

~A week later cause no one wants to wait probably (I know I don't)~

Ritsu P.O.V

"Is everyone ready?" Haru says coming into the room that we were directed to change.

"Yes, but why the heck are we wearing these long kimonos?!" Kisa say yelling in frustration.

I merely laugh at the sight of Kisa struggling with his kimono.

"Shut it Ricchan!" Kisa says giving me a glare.

"Honestly, I don't know what Aki was thinking. But hey we got the okay of you guys wearing those clothes, so I'm sorry but you're stuck with them" Haru says sounding unimpressed, not like he actually finds this amusing. In which he actually does.

I got stuck with a green almost emerald kimono. All our kimonos have the same designs of cherry blossoms on it. Kisa got a light blue kimono, while Chiaki got a dark blue one.

"Well we are ready so let's go!" Chiaki says suddenly enthusiastic.

He was totally faking his tantrum earlier. Or was it real? Anyways it was all because he didn't want to perform in front of his childhood friend Hatori. Not like he should be shy now, since he's a popular singer around the country. So why the heck was he so nervous?

We made our way out of our room and headed towards a hall, where it directed us to where the party was held. When we opened the door, everyone got quiet and all stared at us.

"Somehow I'm more nervous now." Kisa whispers to me as we make our way towards the stage that was set up for us.

"Tell me about it. We are practically in a room full of people that are technically more famous than us." I whisper back trying to smile.

"Ugh guys don't make it worst!" Chiaki whispers, flailing his arms a little.

As we got on the stage, we were handed microphones from the assistants.

"Umm hi. I'm Onodera Ritsu." I say nervously into the microphone.

"I'm Kisa Shouta" Kisa soon says.

"And I'm Yoshino Chiaki" Chiaki says nervously.

Once we had introduced ourselves, people had started clapping. I sigh in relief. That just made me less nervous for some reason. Soon music started playing from the speakers and I began to sing.

"We, we don't have to worry about nothing"

"Cause we got the fire, and we are burning one hell of a something" Kisa soon sings his line.

I noticed some people had grabbed dancing partners and tried to dance to the beat of the music. It failed at first, but they soon got it, somewhat.

"They, they are going to hear us from outer space, outer space. Light it up, like we're stars of the human race, human race" Chiaki continues the song.

"When the light started out they don't know what they heard. Strike the match, play it loud giving love to the world. We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky" As soon as I finished my line, we raised our left hands.

"Cause we got the fire, fire, fire! Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire" Both Chiaki and Kisa sang.

"And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn. We gonna let it burn, burn, burn. Gonna let it burn, burn, burn. We gonna let it burn, burn, burn" We all sang the chorus in unison.

I remember during practice we could not sing that part at the same time for the life of us. It was almost torture because the devil twins wouldn't let us leave until we got it perfect. It took a couple hundred tries until they were finally satisfied.

"We don't want to leave, no. We just wanna be right now, r-r-right now" Chiaki sings perfectly as he started to sway to the beat of the music.

"And what we see is everybody's on the floor acting crazy, getting loco 'til the lights out" Kisa sings his line, and I noticed that a certain brunette had been staring at him amused for a while now.

I'm somewhat in a similar position. I swear that the guy with raven hair has been staring at me for quite some time. I'm just probably overthinking it. I try to focus back myself on the song. If I mess it up, I will never hear the end of it.

"Music's on, I'm waking up, we fight the fire, then we burn it up. And it's over now, we got the love, there's no sleeping now, no sleeping now." I sing starting to sway back in forth as my favorite part of the song is getting near.

We sing the chorus with a few lines of the chorus mixed in to previous lines we have sang so far. And then the lights turned off, and my favorite part came. Everyone in the room was panicking, while some were confused as to what was happening.

"We can light it up, up, up." I sing and we all slowly moved our hands up, as the colorful floor lights on the stage light up.

Everyone stared in awe at the display of colors. This was my own little touch to the event. It was actually the only safe idea, because Kisa had mentioned using real fire. So for safety measures, they chose my idea.

"So they can't put it out, out, out" Kisa sings and we all slowly lower our hands as the colorful lights faded with our movements.

"We can light it up, up, up" Chiaki continues with enthusiasm and the colorful lights came back on.

It's a good thing we didn't get distracted by the lights. I figured that could've been a possibility since we are dealing with Chiaki here. Luckily as we got near the end of the song, no one had gotten distracted and or messed up.

As we finished the song, the lights came back fully on. The room had turned silent for a second, but loud claps soon filled the room. We bowed and made our way off the stage, and joined everyone else on the dance floor. This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

"You guys were not bad. I actually enjoyed that. My name is Takano Masamune" I turned around towards the voice and noticed that it had come from the raven that was staring at me earlier.

He hands me his business card and I accepted it. When I look down at the card, I noticed that it had said editor-in-chief.

"Thank you" I say bowing my head in respect.

"Well I'm sorry I can't talk to you much, but I was put in charge of looking at the door for anyone that came in late" He says excusing himself and leaving.

I looked back down at the card and flipped it over. On the back it had his number written in pen. What the heck am I supposed to do with this?

Kisa P.O.V

So in the end this party wasn't as lame as I thought it would be. It was full of hot guys, I will tell you that. Turns out all the guys in the shojo department are supposed to be hot. I already met the editor-in-chief, and he's quite something. But I already noticed he had his eyes on Ritsu, lucky him.

And of course there's Hatori, but Chiaki can have him all to himself. He's too much of a workaholic. That's the air I got from him when I first met him and whenever Chiaki would talk about him.

Everyone suddenly starts clapping and I look towards the stage. Only to find out that someone else was going to perform a song. Not just someone, it is a tall brunette with a guitar. But you can't see his face, because he's wearing a blue fancy looking mask. I wonder what that is all about. I mean he looks like he could potentially be a hot person, probably. I seriously need a boyfriend. Then again not all my relationships turned out great to begin with.

I look back at the masked brunette. Maybe I can get his number… Nah not going to happen, it's clearly obvious that he is straight. You can tell by that flirty smile he gives off whenever he lays eyes on a girl. Then why does it seem like he's looking at me? Yup I'm totally turning delusional! What the heck is going in that brain of yours Kisa?!

I freeze up though when I hear his voice. It's like an angel singing. I've totally turned crazy haven't I?


So I decided to make Yukina sing. I figured he has that capability to do so. Plus he's an editor now, but don't worry he still does art as a hobby. Anyways the suspense building though! Well not really... Anyways you get to see what Yukina sings in the next chapter, I'm trying to incorporate one song each chapter, but I doubt that will last with the way I get writers block and won't update for a while... Again sorry about that! Anyways that is all, Bye-bye!
