Healthcaregov- Wow. Thanks so much for the review. Sorry about the grammars since I'm not that really keen when it comes to English grammar. I hope I don't disappoint you with the next chapters! And I would consider your suggestion


"That's great, son!"

The voice of one Kamijou Touya is currently blasting like a jet destroying the sound barrier as he is currently talking to his son, who was already on the process of signing the forms that Svento gave to her, "Dad, there's no need to be so loud in the phone…"

"Oh sorry son," the elder Kamijou sheepishly apologized then said, "Well, if you're really interested in pursuing music, then I won't stop you. We'll support you in your new endeavour, Touma."

"Thanks dad," Kamijou said as he then realized that his father had hung up already. He must be sleeping by now. It's quite late, to be honest. He then checked his clock as it read 10 pm. He then immediately signed the two documents given to him by his manager. Done and done. He then out away the papers in his bag and then happily went to his own bed room, which is actually the bathroom, since his real bed was occupied by Index. But even before he can lay his body in the bathtub, the English nun suddenly came rushing into him.

"Touma! Touma!" Index cried as he held a plate to him, "Please, cook some midnight snack since I'm extremely hungry and Magical Powered Super Android Girl Kanamin would have a special segment this midnight…"

"Huh? Oh…just wait a minute," Kamijou groaned to himself as he raises his already-exhausted body from the bathtub to go to the kitchen. Why can't Index learn to cook for herself!?

The next day was quite the normal one for the Imagine Breaker user and that would mean encountering misfortune like almost getting bitten by a stray dog, slipping in a puddle, getting chased by a group of Skill Outs and as usual, having a run-in with the Railgun Misaka Mikoto, who chases him for no reason until he managed to reach his school. Once he was in school, he then went straight to his room where he found his two friends going at it as usual, Himegami sleeping in her desk, and Fukiyose fixing her hair. Sitting down on his desk, he then notices that the time is still too early so he decided that while Komoe isn't yet here, he'll practice another round. Pulling out his guitar, he then adjusted the tuning keys before starting.

It's just the cutest thing

When you get to fussing (cussing)

Yelling and throwing things

I just wanna eat you up

I don't mean no disrespect

When I start staring

Knowing that it makes you madder (uh, oh)

I'm sorry but seeing you mad is so sexy

-Hook-

Could it be the little wrinkle over your nose

When you make your angry face

That makes me wanna just take off all your clothes

And sex you all over the place

Could it be the lil' way you storm around

That makes me wanna tear you down

Baby, I ain't sure, but one thing that I do know is

-Chorus-

Every time you scream at me

I wanna kiss you

Baby when you put your hands on me

I wanna touch you

And when we get to arguing

Just gotta kiss you

Baby, I don't know why it's like that

But you're just so damn sexy

When you're mad

Baby, don't think I don't take you seriously

But I just can't help the fact that your attitude excites me (so exciting)

And you know ain't nothing better

Then when we get

Mad together and have angry sex (I'll blow you out)

Then we forget what we were mad about

-Hook-

Could it be the little wrinkle over your nose

When you make your angry face

That makes me wanna just take off all your clothes

And sex you all over the place

Could it be the lil' way you storm around

That makes me wanna tear you down

Baby, I'm not sure, but one thing that I do know is

-Chorus 2x-

Every time you scream at me

I wanna kiss you

Baby when you put your hands on me

I wanna touch you

And when we get to arguing

Just gotta kiss you

Baby, I don't know why it's like that

But you're just so damn sexy

Every time you scream at me

I wanna kiss you

Baby when you put your hands on me

I wanna touch you

And when we get to arguing

Just gotta kiss you

Baby, I don't know why it's like that

But you're just so damn sexy

When you're mad

He then stopped singing and once again, he realized that everyone is again listening to him while the boys in their class were gaping. It is at this point that Komoe had entered the class.

"Good morning, my dear students," the pinkette teacher then noticed that everyone was behaving so abnormally, "Oh my, I think Kamijou-chan once again made another music session. If you're having one, don't sing until I get here. Now, give me another round!"

Shouts of "Yay!" erupted around the class as the spiky haired boy felt sulking in his chair. I might just practice during lunch time. Nevertheless, he then readjusted the tuning keys and began to sing another song.

Do you remember when I said I'd always be there?

Ever since we were ten, baby.

When we were out on the playground playing pretend.

I didn't know it back then.

Now I realize you are the only one

It's never too late to show it.

Grow old together,

Have feelings we had before

Back when we were so innocent

-Chorus-

I pray for all your love

Girl, our love is so unreal

I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me

(I must be dreaming)

This is something like a movie

And I don't know how it ends, girl

But I fell in love with my best friend

-2x-

(I think I'm in love)

(I think I'm in love)

(I think I'm in love)

I fell in love with my best friend

Through all the dudes that came by

And all the nights that you'd cry.

Girl, I was there right by your side.

How could I tell you I loved you

When you were so happy

With some other guy?

Now I realize you were the only one

It's never too late to show it.

Grow old together,

Have feelings we had before

When we were so innocent.

-Chorus-

I pray for all your love

Girl, our love is so unreal

I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me

(I must be dreaming)

This is something like a movie

And I don't know how it ends, girl

But I fell in love with my best friend

I know it sounds crazy

That you'd be my baby.

Girl, you mean that much to me.

And nothing compares when

We're lighter than air and

We don't wanna come back down.

And I don't wanna ruin what we have

Love is so unpredictable.

But it's the risk that I'm taking, hoping, praying

You'd fall in love with your best friend

I pray for all your love

Girl, our love is so unreal

I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me

(I must be dreaming)

This is something like a movie

And I don't know how it ends, girl

But I fell in love with my best friend

I pray for all your love

Girl, our love is so unreal

I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me

(I must be dreaming)

This is something like a movie

And I don't know how it ends, girl

But I fell in love with my best friend

-Outro-

I remember when I said I'd always be there

Ever since we were ten baby.

When he was finished singing, he then looked up again and realized that now, everyone in the class was practically staring at him weirdly as if they can't believe it was Kamijou Touma singing that song. Even Fukiyose, who claims to hate the boy so much, can't say anything as she was amazed at the delivery of the song. We have heard his songs but this is by far the best one!

"That's it, Kami-yan!" Aogami suddenly shouted in anger as he raised his fists, "We better kill him now before…"

"That's enough, Aogami-chan," Komoe interrupted him before he can complete his sentence, "Okay, everyone, back to your seats!" Thus, the boring day had started.

#

It was lunch time and Kamijou and his friends are in the roof top eating their lunch. But for the spiky haired boy, he wasn't really feeling hungry as he was busy practicing his notes for his single album. To think I have Sylvia as my partner and Rusalka in the same company, I'll really be dead if I mess it big time. He was busy practicing his own version of "Let Her go" by Passenger as he was really plucking his strings. While he was singing, he then remembered Sylvia's pretty face, which he deemed angelic.

She's the prettiest woman I have met recently.

She's the same age as mine.

Her purple eyes are like Amethyst polished through the hands of a deity.

I did say my type of woman are the onee-chan type but she…

She's someone who can make me go in the climax without the need for sex.

He was already dreaming (or rather, lusting) about Sylvia being his wife and that they have quintuplets as children. Damn, that was a heavy dream. He then refocused on his guitar and plucked some more. No, that won't do.

"Kami-yan!"

I don't want to embarrass myself in front of a large crowd. I wanted Sylvia to be proud of me.

"Hey, Kami-yan!"

Shit, am I getting paranoid or what!?

*Wack*

"Ouch!" Kamijou felt a hand slapping in his head as he turns to face his two friends, "Dammit, what was that for!?"

"Tsk, just because someone just entered an audition doesn't mean you can ignore us," Aogami murmured while biting his bento consisting of garlic bread and pasta.

"What are you saying, Aogami?" Kamijou drawled at him, "It's not like something has changed, isn't it? Besides, could you two just let me go?"

Both of his friends stood in front of him with arms crossed with a serious expression in their faces.

"You think you're a very great singer that you'll just flat-out ignore us!?" Tsuchimikado gritted his teeth, "We know how much of a playboy you are but we don't expect you to forget his friends, rain or shine!"

Kamijou felt a headache is coming as he stares at the two pests. No matter what I say, it just won't go through their heads. But before he can even reply, his phone suddenly rang and quickly, he opened it and discovered that he got a new text message.

Touma, have you signed your papers? If yes, then let's meet again at Macronall and I'll drive you to Rotkiv Entertainment again. You'll have your first song recorded as well as your album cover and your photo shoot!

~ Sylvia

Isn't this too early!? Kamijou screamed in his mind as he reads and rereads his text message. But seeing his two friends grinning to him in a creepy way, he then stood up immediately and said, "Excuse me, guys! I have to go since I need to sort out something else so I'll asked another excuse slip from the principal."

"It seems our dear Kami-yan has been in some serious business," Tsuchimikado said in a sing-song voice, "We better leave ya now, right?"

"For once, you're right, Tsuchimikado," Kamijou sighed as he then jumped off and went ahead of his two backstabbing friends as he immediately proceeds to the faculty office to request another excuse permit.

#

"That was a close one."

The spiky haired boy is now currently on Sylvia's car after they have met once again at Macronall. For the boy, he was relieved that he got his exit pass after telling Komoe that there is an emergency in his family. If I'll tell that I will be absent to have my music recorded, there's no way in hell that she'll let me go.

"You seemed to be a little over edge," Sylvia smiled to him as she is now steering her wheel carefully to avoid making the boy beside him sick again just like yesterday, "Does it have anything to do with my driving?"

"No, Not really though you drive smoothly today," Kamijou commented as he then slumps into his chair, "It's just my teacher is a bit strict when it comes to matters like this so I'm quite relieved that I was able to get out of school."

"That's good," Sylvia replied as she looks back at her path, "By the way, I have big news for you. Rusalka would be coming over later afternoon some serious work so chances are, you might meet them personally."

"Sugoi…" Kamijou said genuinely as he perked up a little bit, "By the way, besides recording the song, what do you mean cover album and photoshoot?"

"You don't get it, do you?" Sylvia teased him as she continues to drive, "Well, when debuting, artists usually have their single as a way to promote themselves and the same thing goes with having a photoshoot. Oh and I forgot to mention it but you need a logo as well for yourself."

"Huh? Seriously?" Kamijou said in despair as he slumps anew in his chair.

"The logo won't be much of an issue if you're already a veteran or at least you have a duet with me but since you're just a rookie in the industry, is it a must," the girl explained.

"What a mess," the boy sighed as he then looks at the fleeting view beside him as the car drives on.

"Do you want me to sing for you?" Sylvia suddenly said as they are now outside Academy City.

"Uh sure, so what will you sing? Hey, wait…is it even okay since you are driving a car?" Kamijou eyed her with scepticism as Sylvia smiles at him.

"Don't worry about me," she chuckled, "We'll be safe since it's all music memory so no need to think further."

Somehow, that just sounds so wrong for me, Kamijou inwardly shivered as the girl then opens her mouth and sings.

In my eye and in my way

In the sky so far away

Are you hiding in the grey

I am on my way to find you

In the shadow where you lay

In the darkness I'll be praying

one by one in a lonely lullaby

Dancing like a lonely feather

In the windy weather

Looking for a beacon and some clarity

Long to fly again together

And I wonder whether

We will ever find our melody

Over mountain and below the stars

Light my way so I know where you are

And find me,

Anywhere and anytime I sing my song for you

My tomorrow my today

It is time for you to find your way

Kamijou was speechless as he heard Sylvia sing for the first time. Though he had heard the song already on radio, it was a different experience hearing it personally, much less from a person who originally wrote and sang it. That voice is captivating

"Did you like it?" Sylvia asked as he notices that they are now nearing Rotkiv Entertainment HQ, "That was the very first song that I wrote last year when I was just debuting at that time."

"That…that was splendid…" the awestruck boy didn't know how to describe it properly, "I heard it the first time on radio and I thought it was already good but hearing it in person…"

"Amazing, ne? I wanted to make my fans happy with my singing," she said in a hushed tone that Kamijou actually noticed, "In this time and age, life isn't easy for a lot of people so at least, believe I can help ease that part by singing for them."

That's quite admirable of you, Kamijou thought as he then realized that he has a similar thinking from here. He really hates seeing people suffer and that's why he won't hesitate to help others even if this means his own life is in danger. Perhaps, we have the same principles in life…

"We're here again!" Sylvia's voice awakened the spiky haired boy from his thoughts as they are now standing in the familiar white building.

#

The two then entered the same building again and then they headed to Svento's office where they found the woman seated on her office desk as if she was already expecting their arrival. "Greetings, Kamijou-san," she smiled warmly while her hands are clasped like a villain, "I presume you have brought your signed documents?"

The male teen nodded and then took out the forms from his bag and handed them to Svento, who seemed pleased to see that his formal entry into their company has been finished. "Follow me, kids," Svento suddenly stood and ordered the two to follow her upastairs.

The three then rode the same elevator like yesterday and after reaching the third floor, they immediately headed to room 310 where the office and recording room are located. They immediately entered and was greeted by an ecstatic Aihara, who seemed to be confident about the result of nabbing the boy into his fold. And that was only tripled when Svento gave the documents signed by Kamijou. The president then took out a party popper from his pocket and blew it.

"Conragtulations!" the chubby man said aloud as he shakes the boy's hand, "You're now officially a member of the Rotkiv family! Now, let's get down to business since we've got bunch on things to do. Svento…Sylvia…remember what I told you?"

"Hai!" the slim girl said and then faced the boy, "Today, we will now record your first music. You have prepared it, right? Then I'll leave you to our music producer then…"

As if on cue, a tall man with slick hair and thick-rimmed glasses suddenly entered as he then said, "Good morning, President, Sylvia-san, and Svento-san! Is this the boy you're talking about?"

"Yes, Taro," Aihara said, "Explain him on what to do."

The tall man then walked to Kamijou and greeted him, "Hello, there lad. I'm Kirihara Shintaro and I'm the music producer of Rotkiv. Since today will be the first day you'll record your music for your debut single, I'll teach you the basics of it and I swear it is easy as cutting a piece of pie. Do you see that recording room? That's where you have done your auditioning. Now go inside."

Kamijou did as he was told and went to the recording room which was separated by a glass wall.

"Please, use the mic in front of you…" Kirihara told him through a video and intercom inside the room.

The Imagine Breaker user then touched the microphone in front of him.

"Now, we're in the process called sound checking so just speak anything you want in the mic since it's testing for the sound quality."

The spiky haired boy nodded once again and starts saying things, "Hello…Hello…sound check…"

After some few tweaks, Kirihara then spoke on the intercom and flashed his thumb, "Okay, Kamijou-kun, we'll be almost ready to record your music but before that, you'll be using an electric guitar so please pick it up and pluck it so I'll see if it will sound right in the guitar amplifiers. If needed, you may use the adjusting keys." The boy did as requested and he plucked the strings.

After a few more tests, the tall man then said, "Okay, we're clear now, Kamijou-kun. Go sit on the chair there and wait for my signal." As the boy then sat on the plastic chair, Kirihara suddenly thought of something and pulled out a wireless headset with a mini mic. He calibrated and adjusted the volume before walking inside the recording room. He then reached it out to the spikey haired boy. Kamijou then wore it and Kirihara adjusted it, "This would make the quality better. Alright! I'll give you the countdown and you can start."

He then went back to the office room and from that point, he then sat down and faced the boy who was anxiously waiting (though he didn't show it). He held up his fingers.

The lanky man then gave Kamijou the thumbs up to start his music. Seeing this, the boy mustered all his courage and he then strummed his strings before he started to sing.

-Intro-

[Harmonics]

(Ouu Ouu Ouu)

(Mmdouou... Ooh)

(Ouuohh Ouuohhouuoh wouh)

(Mm... Ah)

-Opening-

Want to, but I can't help it

I love the way it feels,

Its got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real

I need it when I want it, I want it when I dont

Tell myself I'll stop every day, knowin that I won't

I got a problem and I don't know what to do about it

Even if I did, I dont know if I would quit but I doubt it

Im taken by the thought of it

-Chorus-

And I know this much is true

Baby, you have become my addiction, I'm so strung out on you

I can barely move but I like it

And it's all because of you

And it's all because of you

And it's all because of you

And it's all because

Never get enough,

She's the sweetest drug

Think of it every second

I can't get nothing done,

Only concern is the next time, I'm gonna get me some

Know I should stay away from, cause it's no good for me

I try and try but my obsession won't let me leave

I got a problem and I don't know what to do about it

Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit but I doubt it

I'm taken by the thought of it

-Chorus-

And I know this much is true

Baby, you have become my addiction, I'm so strung out on you

I can barely move but I like it

And it's all because of you (all because of you)

And it's all because of you

And it's all because of you

And it's all because

Never get enough,

She's the sweetest drug

Ain't no doubt, so strung out

Ain't no doubt, so strung out

Over you, over you, over you

Because of you,

And it's all because of you,

Never get enough

She's the sweetest drug

-Chorus-

And I know this much is true

Baby, you (baby you) have become my addiction (my addiction)

I'm so strung out on you, I can barely move but I like it (but i like yeah)

And it's all because of you

And it's all because of you

And it's all because of you

And it's all because

Never get enough, (oh, never get enough)

She's the sweetest drug

-Outro-

She's the sweetest drug…

When he was finished recording his debut song, everyone from the other side of the room clapped as Aihara grabbed the mic from Kirihara and said, "That was a wonderful piece, Kamijou! Very wonderful for a genre that's more famous in America. Well then, Taro, get everything fixed!"

"Yes, president!" Aihara said as he began to copy the audio in his USB.

#

After an hour, Kamijou, Sylvia, are facing each other in the President's office as Aihara went out for a while to attend a matter and Kirihara is now doing the final phases of the recording by sending the song to the music mixers. "So, Kamijou-san, have you thought about a different stage name? If you're able to think of something, we'll be able to proceed with your music video, promotional video, photo shoot, and logo by tomorrow Thursday. As for the music video, there will be dance steps and sensitive parts but don't worry, they'll be easy to learn."

"Oh….wait a minute. What do you mean that there are sensitive parts!?" Kamijou's voice raised an alarm as he almost choked in his orange juice.

"You'll see," Svento made a smile that the boy wasn't sure of he should trust it.

"Okay," Kamijou replied nevertheless, "But those stuffs seemed a lot. Don't you think that it's too expensive?"

"You don't know yet, I suppose, but you already have a large chunk of share in our budget," the manager smiled as she brings out a paper, "If you want, you can read this document stating that you'll have a separate allowance and budget for your expenses in your music. And if you're lucky that your debut album sells like hot pancakes, you can earn much more."

"I see," the boy sighed and then continued, "Well, about my stage name…uh…can we just go with TK? Since I can't think of anything at all, I might as well use my initials."

""Hmmm. It does sound so nice," Sylvia then said as she smiles at the boy, "Svento-san, let's go with Touma's idea."

"Very well, then," Svento agreed as he folds her hands, "TK would be your official stage name. I shall right it down in your profile now…oh wait…someone's in the door…" The manager then stood up and opened it and it revealed a group of five female teens about the same age as Sylvia and Kamijou. They all look pretty as they are all wearing pink uniforms.

"Ru-Rusalka? Your all early than what we've discussed," Svento was genuinely shocked as the girls simply barged in without shame. The girl in fronts, who seems to be the leader, then walked in and bowed to Sylvia, "We're sorry to intrude, Miss President, but we're all excited to see Mr. Kamijou!"

"Wait…what do they mean President?" Kamijou asked in confusion as Sylvia simply smiled at him.

"I'm the Student Council President in our school and we happen to attend the same campus."

"Eh? Seriously?" the boy was genuinely shocked as all the girls now gather at his front. This made the boy sweat dropped, "Uh…hello?"

"Hi! Nice to meet you!" the girl who earlier asked Sylvia stepped forward and greeted herself. She had brown hair tied in a ponytail, "I'm Monica and I'm the guitarist and lead singer of Rusalka!"

"Hi mister!" the one in navy blue hair stepped in, "I'm Marie and I'm the drummer of the group!"

"I'm Nina and I play the bass guitar!" said the cute-looking, auburn-haired loli that made Kamijou think of Aogami for a reason.

"Good afternoon! I'm Anna and I wield the electronic guitar!" the girl with greenish hair waved her hands.

"And finally, I'm Paivi and I play the electric keyboard!" the girl with chestnut hair smiled as they made a vertical line.

"And we are Rusalka!" the girls said in unison.

Svento couls only smile awkwardly as she was used to their antics while Sylvia clapped (even though she was getting bored of this introduction of theirs). As for Kamijou, well, he was quite taken aback by this.

"Uh…nice to meet you…hehehe," the boy sweat dropped as he made an awkward wave at the girls, "So I'm Kamijou Touma and a boy from Academy City. Nice to meet you all…"

"Gyaaaah!" the girls wanted to hug to poor boy to death but Svento stopped them at the last minute.

"Girls! Calm it! You're scaring the new comer," Svento slightly reprimanded them as team Rusalka forced it down, "By the way, if you're finished seeing Kamijou-san, they you're all free to leave. I'm sure Mr. Aihara is waiting for you in the other room!"

"Yes, manager-san!" Monica said and they all bade their farewell to the group before going out of the room. Kamijou heaved a sigh as he was able to drink his juice again.

"Now back to the topic," Svento then took out another bunch of papers, "Since we'll first start with your music video tomorrow, you should be here by early morning tomorrow. Maybe 6 am."

Six in the morning!? The boy was shocked as he nearly spitted his drink.

"Second, our choreographer will teach you the basic moves to incorporate in your music video. We'll also give you a script to use tomorrow. Oh and you'll be working with Sylvia and Rusalka in the video. But of course, Sylvia would be your leading lady. Got it?"

"Okay. Okay. But…" Kamijou then asked something else, "What kind of video we would be working tomorrow?"

"As I said, you'll see," Svento then smirked, "But to give you a hint, it will be something that can leave your imagination in the climax."

For some reason, that sounds so horribly wrong, the boy inwardly groaned as he made a weird expression.

"As for your PV, we'll get some parts from the music video and we'll incorporate it into your interview this Friday. And for Saturday and if needed, Sunday, the photo shoot and your logo unveiling would be done." The manager explained it thoroughly.

"I see. So that would mean I would have to be absent from school tomorrow?" Kamijou asked as he suddenly remembers that there are still two school days tomorrow.

"If anything, you can secure an excuse slip," Sylvia said as she puts down her cup, "And I'm pretty sure that one of these days, Aihara would come into your school hoping that he can excuse you when big projects have started and you got catapulted into the big leagues."

"Okay…" Somehow, the boy was relieaved so he had to worry only Index, his two backstabbing friends, Fukiyose, Komoe, and (most especially) Misaka. The latter one was what made Kamijou worry enough as he knew her well enough to conclude that once she got information about this, she won't hesitate to join him here in Rotkiv and worst, she might also audition here or simply force herself in.

And can she even sing?

Pushing those thoughts aside, the boy was looking forward for tomorrow.

I'm getting fired up, huh?
