Chapter 2:
Mikan Sakura
I cannot believe this is happening! And in front of the entire country too!
When I finally regained my senses, I peeled his hand away from me and took a step closer to Tsubasa, who gladly draped his arm on my shoulders. I glanced at the arse beside me and found him acting as if nothing had happened. He waved to the crowd like we all did and a young female voice rung through the studio.
"And those, ladies and gentlemen, are your judges for the first season of Stardom!" She exclaimed. When she did so, the crowd went wilder. I finally got to have a good look at her. Slim, tall like a model, and raven hair. When she turned to us, I saw her eyes. They were crimson. A bulb flickered in my head. Ah. It's Aoi Hyuuga. She smiled at our direction.
"Well, before we begin, let's have an opening word from our judges." Her eyes scanned the four of us. Finally, they landed on someone.
"Koko, just tell us… what is this show really about?"
I looked at him as he spoke into his lapel mic. "Well, Aoi. This show is really all about the voices of the people out there who are just hiding their true talent. Talent can come from anywhere in the world, and this show will give them that chance to step up and share what God has blessed them with: a voice!"
Then, I heard Tsubasa continue. "And so, to formally welcome you to the competition, we, the judges, have a little surprise for you." And as if on cue, the lights blacked out on stage. I stood at the middle of the stage like they told me to, knowing well that the other 3 went to their own side of the stage. I asked the director what I needed to do, but all he said was "Be yourself." I took a breath.
I heard the intro start to play. It's showtime.
The lights went on under the glass stage and behind me, at the LED tv.
"Just shoot for the stars, if it feels right.
And aim for my heart, if you feel like
You take me away, you make it okay
Yeah, you really make me wonder about you."
I wink at the crowd as I finish my part and they scream. I grinned and suddenly felt a hand grab mine. Then I was pulled into someone's arms. I looked up. It was Tsubasa, smirking as he sang the next part.
"Oh, baby it's hard when it feels like
You're broken and scarred.
Nothing feels right, but when you're with me
I'll make you believe
Girl you really make me wonder about you." He twirled me and let me go as he ended his part with a 'whoo!'
I sat down on the small stairs in the stage. I made my eyes look sad and turned away from all three boys.
"I've wasted my nights, you turned out the lights
Now I'm paralyzed."
Then a pair of feet walked beside me and Koko sat beside me in the stairs. He cupped my chin and made me face him.
"Still stuck in that time when we called it love,
But even the sun sets in paradise." He moved in to kiss me.
Then I was grabbed again by another person. Natsume pulled me to my feet and held me close. He cupped my chin in his hand and looked at me intently. His face was so close.
"I don't mind spending every day."
I joined him like I was supposed to. "Sunday morning rain is falling."
"Out on your corner in the pouring rain"
"Steal some cover, share some skin."
He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Look for the girl with a broken smile."
I looked Natsume in the eye. His eyes were still as beautiful as I remembered.
"Sunday morning rain is falling."
"Ask her if she wants to stay a while."
We both sang the next lines. "And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And I won't go home without you."
We both pulled away as the short instrumental played. I stood in the middle of the stage and was quickly joined by Natsume and Tsubasa.
"I know it's hard to remember, the people we used to be."
The raven-haired lad grabbed my hand and lifted it to his lips. "But I am in misery."
"You say it's too late to make it, but is it too late to try?"
Tsubasa knelt in front of me and grabbed my other hand. "Why won't you answer me?"
I pulled away from both men as I just walked forward, singing to the crowd. I spread my arms as I sang.
"Baby you are all I need,
In darkness, you are all I see.
Come and rest your bones with me!
Driving slow on Sunday morning…"
Suddenly, an arm sneaked around my waist and pulled me aside. I looked up to brown eyes. Koko.
"And it goes like." He sang as he pulled me close and started pacing the stage
"This love has taken its toll on me,
She said goodbye too many times before."
I turned to him and grabbed his face to look at me. I smirked.
"Now take me by the tongue and I'll show you.
You are the moves like jagger, I got the moves like jagger."
Then I was twirled again and landed in another pair of arms. I mentally growled. Can they stop twirling me?
This time it was Tsubasa. "My heart is breaking in front of me,
I have no choice, yeah I won't say goodbye anymore."
I pointed at my eyes. "Just look into my eyes and I'll own you
With that moves like jagger.
I GOT THE MOVES LIKE JAGGER!"
Then the clapping came. A hand grabbed mine and this time, I was led away gently. Finally. It was the jerk. At least he's leading me away slowly.
Once the clapping ended, I started singing. "Now I'm at a payphone."
He cut in as he led me across the stage. "I don't mind spending every day."
He started to lead me down the stage, to the aisle in between the crowd, still holding hands. "All of my change I spent it on you."
"Out on your corner in the pouring rain."
"Where have the times gone?"
"Look for the girl with a broken smile."
"Where are the plans we made for two?!" Then I started to pull both of us to the stage.
"Ask her if she wanna stay a while!"
Tsubasa and Koko then met us at the end of the stage. "And she will be loved, and she will be loved."
I sang the next part alone. "And she will be loved, and she will be loved."
Tsubasa and Koko sang the next part. "And she will be loved."
Then all at once, Koko grabbed my waist, Tsubasa, my hand, and Natsume, my chin. I froze.
Natsume sang the last line. "And she will be loved."
The crowd went beyond wild as the song ended. One by one, they pulled away and pulled me up. I gratefully complied and we all stood together in a line. Then a guy with green eyes and silver hair came up to us. Youichi Hijiri, Natsume's kohai. He had a mic in his hand. A co-host perhaps? Now that I think about it, the beginning announcement was in a guy's voice. It must be him.
"And with that, ladies and gentlemen, our show has started! Give them a round of applause!" The audience did so. He then turned to us. "Judges, please take your seats in the table in front of the stairs."
We all went down the stage and looked for our seats, since there were already names. Mine was the 2nd to the left, beside Tsubasa and Natsume. I took my seat. In front of me, a buzzer was installed and I had to resist the urge to push it.
"Now, guys, let's get this show on the road!" Aoi said, lifting her arms up in an arm thrust. Everyone did the same.
Youichi smirked as he led both of them to the side of the stage. He then quoted the "Hunger Games. "
"May the odds be ever in your favour."
I smirked. Let the games begin.
