Black Waltz: Hello, all. Sorry for not updating. You all have to understand that I enjoy your company and all but I have a life outside of writing, I'm even trying to write my novel and it's hard for me. All I'm saying is, in a kind way, stop asking me when I'm going to update, please.

Anyway, enough of that enjoy this chapter of Azuknot.

Osaka bashed on her drums as they did the outro of one of their songs, Kagura following with a chords of her guitar. Another great time they had of lessons; Mark shouted, cheering at them for their great rehearsal that they had did. "You girls did great," he commented, giving them a round of applause.

"Who says girls can't rock," said Sakaki, dropping her microphone to the floor. They talked till Tomo came up with a question. "Hey, Mark, I need to know... Just in case we were to break the instruments, would we have to pay for them?"

He shook his head. "Nah, if you break them, I'll replace them for you, no charge. I get a new shipment once a week, so there's no need to worry."

"No catch or anything?" asked Yuka.

"Nope," he replied.

After a few minutes of relaxing, they went back to their instruments for another practice at one of their songs that Sakaki had made. Chihiro went to her sampler and pushed a few buttons, making a weird sound from the instrument, and then these words repeated over and over...

The whole thing I think is sick

While that line kept repeating, the girls each got into place; Chihiro toned away the sound as Sakaki gave a growl and Miruchi and Tomo pounded their percussions. The girls were going crazy with the music, with Sakaki moving like she was having a seizure, Tomo shaking her head rapidly from side to side, Miruchi following, Yuka banging her head up and down, and Chihiro bobbing her head.

They paused, and Sakaki spoke from her song...

Here comes the pain!

And they went back to being crazy, till they toned it down and Sakaki got ready to sing their song.

Enemy - Show me what you wanna be
I can handle anything
Even if I can't handle you
Readily - Either way it better be
Don't you fuckin' pity me
Get up, get off...
What the hell am I sayin'?
I don't know about malevolent
Sure as hell decadent
I want somebody to step up, step off
Walls! Let me fall! FUCK YOU ALL!
Get a grip, don't let me slip 'til I drop the ball

Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!

FUCK IT!

Who the fuck am I to criticize your twisted
state of mind?
You're leavin' me suspect - I'm leavin' you grotesque
Feels like a burn from which you never learn
Cause and effect, you jealous ass
Press your face against the glass - SUFFER!

Fuck this shit, I'm sick of it
You're goin' down, this is a war!

I've just begun
It's about that time
Gotta get mine

I've just begun
It's about that time
Gotta get mine

I've just begun
It's about that time
Gotta get mine

I've just begun
It's about that time
Gotta get MINE!

YOU CAN'T KILL ME
CUZ I'M ALREADY

INSIDE YOU
YOU CAN'T KILL ME
CUZ I'M ALREADY
INSIDE YOU!
YOU CAN'T KILL ME
CUZ I'M ALREADY
INSIDE YOU!
YOU CAN'T KILL ME
CUZ I'M ALREADY
INSIDE YOU!

SIC!
SIC!
SIC!
SIC!

HAHA!
YEAH!

The girls rocked out their hearts, putting all their energy into their music, making it as best they could. After their song, their instructor cheered them on again, praising them. Chiyo-chan even came up with her own style of head banging...

"I call it drunken head-banging," she says to the others

"Interesting," said Yomi.

"Very interesting," Osaka added.

"Hey, Chiyo-chan, you think you're parents might be able to help us out?" asked Kagura.

"What do you mean?"

"If the nine of us do reach fame and fortune then they would have to finance all the money we earn, not to mention finding us the jumpsuits."

Chiyo-chan pondered about that... so very true. With all the money that they will hopefully be earning, they needed some way to keep it safe, and her parents were the only ones who could do that, with their millionaire-like status. "That's true; I'll talk to them tonight."

Mark then gave them their goodbyes as the girls gave him devil horns as their farewell; he returned the gesture and they made their way out of the store, walking back home. "You know, we need to make flyers after school," said Tomo.

"Good point," Chihiro said, "if we're going to be noticed, we need a way for them to come to it."

"How 'bout after school we all head over to Chiyos' place, there we can make as many flyers as we need," said Miruchi.

"That sounds great, my dad has copy machine we can use and make the flyer design on his computer," Chiyo said.

"Sure your dad won't mind?" asked Tomo.

The prodigy DJ shook her head. "No, he usually has other things to do."

The others went back home while Sakaki greeted her parents before going back to her room. Inside, she took her mask out of her bag, gazing at it... this was her mask she was going to wear at their first performance as a band, but Chihiro didn't bring hers to show; reason why was because it was too big... she'd show them when they were at the club.

Next day at school, Sakaki walked through the doors while Kaorin was looking at her with a blush. Silently, she went up to the tall girl while the singer faced her. "Miss Sakaki, good morning. How are you today?"

Instead of doing what she had done to her in the cafeteria, she smiled and said, "I'm doing fine, how about you?"

Right then and there, like Hinata Hyuugu, she collapsed in a faint while Sakaki just shook her head and tried to wake her up. Yomi and Tomo came in, seeing her trying to wake up Kaorin, but the girl was out like a light. "What happened?" asked the bassist

"All she did was ask me how I was feeling and I told her I was fine, and asked the same to her, and then wham, she hit the floor."

"Sounds like something she usually does."

"Nah, I think she does it all the time when she's around Sakaki," said the percussionist.

"Help me get to her desk." The two helped Sakaki carry Kaorin to her desk while Yomi pulled out her chair and they set her in, pushing the chair forward. Soon, other classmates came in, including their teacher... just another 'normal' school day for them. After school, the gang then met up with the other two members and went over to practice at Mark's shop where they yet again did great. They would practice till they were perfect.

After they had left, they all headed over to Chiyo's, making a beeline for her dads' office, going onto the computer, into creative program to began to make a handout, making sure to make it good so it would get the persons' attention to come and see them. When the handout was decorated to their liking, they printed it out and made numerous copies of them.

"Should we set them up over town now?" asked Osaka.

"Sounds like a good idea to me, considering the number of copies we made," said Miruchi.

"Well then, let's get movin'!" said Kagura.

They left the house, with Chiyo telling her father that they would be out for a while on the town. Even while going there, they set up a few in the neighborhood along the way, and then when at the town, they posted them up at places where people would pass by. Hours melted by and their handout ammo was diminishing, soon they were done.

"Looks good, but you guys think people'll come?" asked Tomo.

"Sure," Yomi smiled. "Besides, that design is sure to attract people. I just hope Mark can send the stuff over the club when we do our show."

"Good thing I told him before we left," added Yuka.

They left, going back home one by one. Everything was going good, and soon they would spread the sickness throughout the town, going from as many clubs they could play at. Maybe this idea of Tomo's would make them famous...

Maybe it would.

Black Waltz: There's another chapter. Sorry about the wait, I was having some trouble trying to piece this chapter the way I wanted. On that note, the next chapter would be fairly easy for me, so keep you eyes peeled for it.

Please review.
