Yep, same lame excuse, but nearly time for my holidays and I can write as long as I want! Down side, I have to do homework while I'm in Singapore :(

Runo: Finally! I thought you were dead for a while

Me: I was doing school work, so I basically was

Runo: So true

Me: Now I know you guys think that the romance is about to come in, and it will soon, just, not so much now. I promise it will be amazing! I just don't want to rush the relationships. And since I have delayed updating for so long, I made this chapter a little longer ;) Well actually, I just couldn't stop typing XP

Mira: This will take a while wont it

Me: Probably

Mira: (Shrugs)

Runo did have to say that, it just had to be done XD And you on the right trail with Shun ;) Hikari1127, Hydron isn't Masquerade, but he is definitely arrogant. Hi flippy17, and yes, well sort of yes. Runo is making Dan her official boyfriend but only to her parents. And yeah, Miss B is gloomy isn't it, but it is how I wanted it to be... I think XP Hydron didn't nearly hit her, he just forced her back to the tree, and right... it was the camera crew... hehe X)

Runo: AsianBunny owns the story, but none of the songs, characters, JYP Entertainment or the ESteem modelling agency


Chapter Seven: Hit Me?

No one's POV

Another morning, another lesson, and one that the guys wouldn't enjoy.

It was Sunday, and dawn was just arriving through the windows of their kitchen. They were all up preparing their own breakfast. This time it was Dan's turn to cook, and you'd better get there fast if you wanted anything to eat.

As he wore a black apron that wrapped around his waist and was flipping a pancake, the guitarist glanced at his leader, who was carelessly sitting on a wooden stool by the counter, with his eyes shut and his chin in the palm of his left hand as the other was resting on the top, along with a cup of green tea in front of him now gone cold. The brunette turned back to the food and proceeded to speak, even though there was a good chance the ninja wasn't listening "Don't let that model get to you dude" Billy, who was drinking a glass of orange juice agreed completely "Yeah you don't have to take in his arrogance. Go and tell him off!" The bassist on the side had his back to the counter as he laid his elbows on it and rolled his eyes despite what they said was true. He just didn't want to take part in their rant.

"Let, him be. It's not like I care" Apparently Shun was listening. He was just in an unanimated state. Dan placed the finished pancake on the stack beside him and moved the plate to the counter "Still, don't you need the upper hand if we want to get ahead of the girls? I mean we have to win this, right?" He questioned in a sincere tone as the raven haired vocalist stared at his meaningful eyes. He sighed, got off his seat and stuffed his hands in the pockets of his pants "Well just have to do our best and see what happens. I'm not letting that conceded model get in my way" With those words he left the kitchen, not even bothering to eat anything.


"Are you ready?"

Hydron asked the eight who were now at the agency in a line at the lobby, with the cameras filming them once again "Today I'll be taking Miss B for their personal training..."The mint haired boy internally scoffed. Of course, I would have expected that from him. He thought to himself as the model continued speaking "... While you remaining four will be going to our costume department to choose your outfits for your final shoot on Thursday" The Australian stylist groaned in disappointment as her head dropped to the floor, she wanted to be the one to arrange their costumes first. Alice and Runo attempted to comfort her, but failing, while Mira laughed a little uncomfortably on the side. The violet eyed model clapped his hands as a sign that he was finished "Now, since we will be separated, so will the cameramen, so good luck you guys" As the blond was finally done, he, along with Miss B and one of the two crew members followed them down the hallway to the photo shooting area. The B. Brawlers all looked at each other, unsure where exactly the costume department was.

"Need some help?"

A familiar voice offered. However they couldn't locate the body of it "Ahem... down here you nitwits!" The guys followed what they directed and found their stage designer below them. Ace recognised her immediately

"Nene? What are you doing here?" The small, yet older woman smiled as she folded her arms and closed her eyes "I was assigned to guide you for this mission. Considering you are guys and have no sense of fashion" You'd think that they were insulted, but this situation involved clothing, so it wasn't much in their area of expertise. The orange head giggled as she reopened one of her orbs "Just kidding. You guys clean up pretty well. I'm just her to refine the outfits you choose. A supervisor, if you will" The four slowly nodded as the cameramen behind them was jumping up and down attempting to capture Nene in his shot. A vein popped on her head as she pointed fiercely at him while her other hand was on her left hip. The musicians moved two on both sides of the crew member for her to get a clear view "Hey you!" She yelled at him, causing the cameraman to shake "You'd better get my good side" She warned sternly. Then almost at an instant she turned back into a sweet misleading little girl once again "Now, shall I show you to the department" The purple orbed stage designer gestured the way to the glass elevator, leading the four boys and a slightly frightened crew member.

{~X~}

Hydron and the girls arrived in a spacious room with a high ceiling. It was filled with tall light stands, reflective shields for manipulating the tone of brightness, and a blank canvas set held by a black frame. The model stopped in front of the photographer setting up his camera on a tripod "This is where you will have your last shoot, so today we are going to practice here, just to get you familiar with how things are usually done" He explained as the person beside him used a cloth to clean the lens.

The blunette, who was carrying the half dead silver haired girl, suddenly felt the weight being lifted as Julie finally regained her composure and began scanning the room. She was soon was jumping with enthusiasm, wanting to try out a few snapshots as she hurried over to the set "Come on you guys! Let's get our poses on!" The remaining three stared at their all too energetic friend, but complied with a smile as they began walking to her side. As the both cameras were doing their job, Hydron began coaching them as the flashes from the photographer began capturing the girls in a four way shot. The model turned up the stereo on the side for inspiration as their debut song on S.T.A.R.Z. began playing on a station "Now, as I said before, each one of you have their own sense of charisma, so express that in your pictures. Although you're all in one photo, you are still individuals, so show me that!" The Miss B members were taking what he was saying and tried to give a realistic, yet appealing stance while still working together in their group.

{~X~}

"Where the heck are we!"

A stressed Dan screamed to the high ceiling. They finally made it to the costume department, but it was so huge that they couldn't remember where the exit was. It was like a maze of clothes, footwear and accessories. The B. Brawlers have been wondering around for who knows how long with Nene and the cameramen at their side. The stage designer fanned her right hand up and down at them along with a reassuring smile "We'll worry about leaving once we get your outfits" The guitarist and drummer weren't so sure, but the other two were completely calm with their personalities an all.

The brunette sighed as a sign of defeat "Fine..." He began to look on both sides of him at an intersection between the racks of costumes "...Let's go left" Dan suggested. Nene smiled with closed eyes at him "Thanks" She then turned to the rest behind her "Alright guys, let's go right" The short person waved with her arm to follow, and they took the command and did so. The guitarist was stifled that he was being ignored "Hey! I thought we were going left!" No one cared enough to answer, so Ace slightly turned his gaze to him as he continued walking forwards "I'd trust her more than you, direction wise" Billy shrugged as he gave a sheepish smile to his friend "Sorry dude, I have to go with them. The last time we let you lead we ended up in Nagoya" All his leader did was nod at their statements. The brunette shoulders slumped down a little as the aura around him darkened, but he drearily followed the disapproving group to the next turn anyway.


"Ok, take a break" Hydron instructed to the exhausted four who had cramps from all the posing they had done in the past hour. They slowly made their way off the white set onto the sturdy smooth floor. Their teacher had a smile on his face as he each handed them a water bottle "That was great. You really took in my advice. Now all you have to do is what you did today in your final shoot and you'll be set" The girls gave him a somewhat grateful smile as they exited through the entrance doors into the hallway. As they each unscrewed the drink caps and gulped nearly a litre down, they sighed in unison with one another. The blunette closed the now empty bottle and sighed "That was so tiring. And he kept on repeating the same things over and over again" She stated annoyingly as they made an agreeing sound through their closed lips. The dancer had a thought come to mind "I bet he was just checking us out" The red head took another sip of her drink before shooting the waterless container in the blue recycle trash bin on the side of the hallway. Julie shrugged as her eyes shut "He's worse than the other vain people we've worked with" Their leader smiled as she spoke earnestly "Guys, I know he's really hard to handle, but bear through it for a little while longer" They all nodded as they returned her smile. At that time Julie's mobile vibrated in her shorts. She took it out and read a text she received. Mira glanced at the device curiously "Who is it?" The stylish shut her cell a little too quickly as she twisted her head towards the Vestal "Just my pen pal" This action reminded the rapper of something. She slapped her head as she stopped in her tracks. They all turned back to the blunette with confused faces "What's wrong Runo?" Alice asked worryingly. She let her hand drop to her side as a sigh escaped her lips "I left my phone back at the shooting room, now have to go back and probably see him" She then swivelled around and began walking back to their previous training area in a disturbed manner, with the sound of three voices in the distance encouraging her nervously 'Good luck...'

{~X~}

"So are we going to be wearing these?" Dan questioned as he examined the clothes draped over each of their arms. The stage designer looked at them sceptically while rubbing her chin, thinking deeply about the combinations they have chosen from the labyrinth of costumes they were still lost in. She placed her hands on her hips as her head tilted to the side "Something's off about this" She stated as the B. Brawlers glanced at the clothing of each member and their own. The drummer asked out of curiosity as none of the others spoke up "What is?" Nene instructed them to spread out their outfits on the floor, before telling them the reason why. But they didn't go against it.

As they did what they were told, the orange headed woman paced around staring at the individual pieces they've chosen. She clicked her fingers on instinct as a smile lit up her face "That's it!" Dan was about to question what exactly, however he stopped himself as she began swapping this and that from their clothes pile. Once she was done, the purple orbed guide wiped a trail of sweat with her right arm "Done"

The four boys were still in the dark and wanted a few explanations from her as they each gave the stage designer a questioning look. She noticed this right away and directed their vision to the outfits on the ground that were now rearranged "You see, you all had great pieces, but they just didn't match with your personality very well. I just swapped a couple from some others and now they seem better don't they?" They all nodded slowly as she told them which outfit was now theirs.

{~X~}

The blunette returned to the room they were just shooting in and began searching for her cell. She looked all over on the table covered with widely printed headshots, and by the stereo, but still couldn't see it "Did I drop it on the ground?" Runo wondered as she bent down to her knees and started crawling for her mobile.

"Found it!"

The green eyed girl said victoriously to herself as she moved a magazine pile on the floor to find her pale yellow phone. As the rapper stood up straight once again, she flipped the cover open and saw she received a couple of texts from her Mother that said 'Why didn't you tell us you had a boyfriend!' And several others from her Father repeating 'You are grounded young lady! Just because your Mother approves of you dating, doesn't mean I do!' Runo giggled at her Dad's overprotectiveness "How can you ground me when you're not here?" She said to herself as she closed her mobile and placed it in the pocket of her overcoat dress. The singer had been getting the same messages for the past twenty four hours. Including e-mails, video requests, and at one time a carrier pigeon as they thought sky writing could affect her career in a negative way if they wrote what they were going to say.

As she was about to reach the door to leave, it opened automatically before she could even touch the handle. She was met with the model they were badmouthing just minutes before. The blunette wasn't really in the mood to be talking nice to him, but did anyway "Hey Hydron. Forget something?" The violet eyed blond smiled playfully as he moved and made room from the doorway for her to exit "No. I just thought that a lady shouldn't have to do these troubling things on her own" She walked out into the hallway as he closed the door. How is opening a doorway troubling? She thought as her emerald orbs rolled unbeknownst to him. The rapper began walking in the direction she ran from, but realised he was pacing alongside her, with their steps in sync.

"So your Alice right?"

She cocked an eyebrow as her mind started to give harsher thoughts about the model "No actually I'm Ru..." The vocalist was about to give him her actual name when he cut the blunette off "So Alice, do you have a boyfriend? Cause if you don't, I'll be willing to take that position. I'm sure your popularity will go up if you do" He said filled with pride. He wasn't even listening to her. More like in his imagination about the answer he wanted to hear, but wasn't going to get.

She was beginning to get infuriated with Hydron's attitude, but knew she had to keep it cool, so she supressed her anger. The blunette was about to retort something in return, when a gleam of shining light caught the corner of her eyes at the end of the hallway. She closed her mouth and got a hint of suspicion in her mind. Is it my imagination? Or was that a flash?

She shook it out of her head and turned back to the model "Sorry teach I have to get back to the girls. See you later" With a faint wave she began jogging away from him. His face turned grim as he watched her fleeting figure disappear around a corner.

"Ooooooooo, rejected"

A voice commented almost amusingly to themselves as they held their camera in a darkened hallway that concealed their bodies. The rapper that was running just passed by them, but took no notice, making their job that much easier. They continued deeper inside until their silhouette couldn't be seen in the daylight any longer.


It was the day after the last, and this meant it was the guys turn to take some lessons, which they weren't so enthusiastic about.

The four boys were now in the room Miss B occupied the day before. They were standing by the blank set, a little hesitant on stepping on it knowing that they would have to get photographed with Hydron watching their every move. The model was not all that interested in coaching them either. For one, he was still pissed at Shun for interrupting his talk with Alice yesterday. And because he didn't feel comfortable talking to them while they were posing for the camera. But he sucked it up and did his job "Are you going to stand there all day? Cause you need to get a move on if you want to at least try and win this competition" Those harsh yet slightly encouraging words pushed them into walking onto the set and getting ready for the lesson he was about to teach. As the photographer began flashing the pictures of the B. Brawlers, the violet orbed blond began to repeat the same things he said to the girls when he was with them "Just like I said to the other group..."

{~X~}

While that was happening, it was the girls turn to pick their outfits. But Nene was not there to guide them as Julie reassured her she could to the job. Besides, when they first came to the Esteem agency she already raided the department, so the stylist knew her way around unlike the other group who got lost in there for hours at a time.

"What about this one! No, this one! But wait, that one's cute as well!" The silver haired Australian began zipping from rack to rack picking out random pieces she found appealing, while the others trekked behind her, not knowing what to say to the excited girl. Soon enough she had a humungous pile in her hands, causing her vision to be blocked from everything else. The rapper sighed as she halted to a stop "Julie, we know you're our stylist and everything, but we can't wear the entire department!" Runo started out calmly, but grew into an irritated yell later on. The tanned skinned girl attempted to get a glance at the blunette, but all she was able to catch was her right ponytail in view "Ok, ok, I get it" She took a breath as her hands released the clothes on the floor between one of the crossing intersections of the closet "Let's sort these ones out first. I've picked some that go with your tastes perfectly! Aren't you glad that I know you all so well?" She praised proudly as she clasped her palms together beside her right cheek, and lifted her left leg up. The girls all giggled together as they started forming their costumes.

{~X~}

"Ok, that's all for now" Hydron broke the tyring teens from their photo session and left the room not caring what time to tell them to return. They weren't worn out from all the posing, but the incessant nagging from the blond model. Dan took a large stretch as he tried to regain his natural posture from his hump back. Once he did he rubbed his spine wearily as he walked off the canvas "How can girls do this all day?" The drummer was massaging the left side of his neck as he put an arm on Dan's shoulder "Don't ask me dude" He answered his rhetorical question, but that didn't help the guitarist at all.

Ace was glad that they were free from the so called lesson they had been taught, and was now able to proceed with his agreement. The bassist made his way to the door, and as he held the handle he looked back to the three "I'll be out for a while. Call me if I have to return" With that, he left the studio as Dan and Billy nodded their heads understanding his departure.

{~X~}

Miss B had taken enough time to gather all their pieces of clothing to create their own individual outfits for the shooting on Friday. Mira exhaled a deep breath as she wiped some sweat drops off her forehead "I'm glad that we're done. Now... how do we get out of here?" The three, excluding Julie, looked around at all angles, wondering where exactly they came in from. Their stylist giggled softly at her clueless friends "Oh you guys, its right over there..." She paused as the Australian pointed down one of the lanes "... Just follow me" With her costume draped over her left arm, as was the rest of them, they all took the silver haired girls lead down one of the many isles of the department.

After several minutes they made it to their destination. The blunette sighed happily "We've made it!" Julie cocked an eyebrow at her with a smirk tugging at her lips "Calm down Runo, you'll get out of here soon enough, so no need to get hasty" She said teasingly. The rapper huffed in response as they walked to the left side of the doorway where an empty rack was given to them to put their outfits on, along with complementary garment bags to ensure their protection.

As Mira was about to take one, her phone rang from inside her pocket. She delayed with packing her bag and answered it "Hello... Yeah I'm free... Really! You have it in stock! I'll be there as soon as possible!" As the red head shut her cell rapidly, she looked as if she was going to start jumping with joy. Alice smiled at her cheerful group member "New record disk in the shop?" She read her mind exactly as the Russian knew her all too well. Mira always went to the same music shop that brought in different styles from all over the world, and it didn't matter if it was brand new or classically old, she just loved everything it brought in "Yep!" The Vestal replied excitedly "I'll see you guys back at the loft ok. I'm headed to Rockin' Records" Each girl hooked their clothes on the inner hanger and zipped it up to the top. But before Alice, Runo or Julie could hang them on their personal rack, the dancer zoomed off out of the door as the sound of metal sliding onto a pole was made. The blunette shrugged as she placed her costume beside Mira's "She really loves her music huh?" They all giggled and agreed at the rappers comment.


As the red headed dancer exited the agency, she didn't know that a pair of eyes was following her every move. And they weren't the only ones.

Mira walked down a couple of blocks to the inner corners of the city where the streets were filled with busy with shoppers, businessmen, and other faceless people. She turned down a path and was met with a large rounded, modern looking store that took up the entire building which was more than ten storeys. There was a large television screen at the top connected to the building as it displayed music videos from various singers. The screen was under a spacious circular platform, mostly used for live performances, as it, along with screen could be seen from below by the people passing by.

As she entered the automatic glass doors, the sensor picked her up when it made a dinging sound as she passed the threshold. The dancer walked over to the cashier on the left and greeted the person who was stationed there "Hey Jake. Where's the new record?" The bulky guy grinned at her typically "You just get straight to the point don't you" Mira and Jake had known each other for a few years when she permanently moved to Tokyo, and she, being a lover of music, became a frequent customer at his store.

She didn't take in his joke lightly "I'm serious here" He lifted both of his hands as a sign of defeat "Alright, alright, I give. But you're going to have to find it yourself" The orange headed employee pointed to one of the various sections of the store. The Vestal groaned, but was more than determined to find her disk.

As she was searching through one of the lanes, she noticed at the side of the shop had several black headphones installed to the wall that was connected to a CD spinning on a player. She walked towards it and examined the artist "Oh, these were the winners of the previous season of S.T.A.R.Z." The dancer took the phones off the hook and placed them over her ears as she pressed the play button on the panel. She was holding on to both sides as she shut her eyes and got into the beat. They're really good. I wonder if we'll ever be...

The Vestal was brought away from her thoughts as someone had silently tapped her shoulder. She was startled a little bit as she shot her sapphire blue orbs open and turned to the person behind her "Hydron? What are you doing here?" The blond just shrugged as the dancer removed her headphones and rested them around her neck, but she kept the left one in her ear so that she could still listen to it. What is he doing here? This can't be just a coincidence. Her mind was thinking of every possible answers to why he was here right now, but she couldn't concentrate as he finally spoke after the short silence "I've heard of these singers before, but I don't remember their names" He's on the show, but it clearly shows he doesn't watch it. Mira brought a forced smile to her face to make the situation friendlier "They're really good, you should listen to them. There's pair of headphones over the..." The red head was about to point in the direction of another set, but he instead went for the one she occupied. Hydron twisted the right side of the headset so that he could hear. He's a little too close for comfort. She thought as his proximity made her quite irritated. The Vestal gave up on saying anything further, as she remembered what Alice said to them earlier and didn't want to complicate things, and she already had enough on her plate as it is, with her cooperating with Ace, their rival in all. As she was about to close her eyes again to concentrate on the melody, a glint of something bright hit her orbs by the wide glass front window that showed the outside street in front of her. It's supposed to be cloudy today isn't it? Well I never really did trust those weather reporters. The red head turned her attention back to the music, despite her and Hydron were listening to the same headset.


"Well it was great running into you Mira. Why don't I take you out to lunch while we're at it?" He suggested as the song reached the end. The dancer raised an eyebrow at the model "Don't you have a lesson to teach to the B. Brawlers?" He turned away at the sound of their band name as he twirled a strand of his hair "They'll be fine. I'm more interested in spending time with you" The blond said as a grin replaced his grimaced expression. Mira, just like Runo, politely declined, or found a way to decline him at his request "I apologise but have some important things to take care of, so maybe next time" Or never at all. Hydron's facial features became emotionless as the Vestal girl walked off to another part of the store, returning to her original goal of finding her record. He left in a silent, but infuriated state as the doors opened for him and the sensor sounded at his departure.

"Wow, another one. Looks like that famous model isn't as cool as he appears to be"

Someone recombined the fragments of yesterday's events, and compared that with what just happened. They were leaning against a brick wall next to Rockin' Records, just beside where the window lost its view. A smirk grew on his lips as they pulled out their cell, and dialled a number.

"Hey boss..."

Back inside, the red headed girl remained searching for her desired album, but once again was interrupted by her ringing mobile. She stopped walking and sighed "I guess I have to go back" She stated to herself sadly. However when she checked the caller ID on the screen, it wasn't any of her three group members. She pondered on answering for a while, but decided that the person wasn't here so she could hang up on them if she wanted to "Hello" She finally answered as she held her cell to her ear. The dancer continued looking for her record as she listened to the other end "Just so you know, Hydron was following you to that music store" Mira had already figured that out when she was with him by the headphone set. She turned in to another lane as she examined the covers "Yeah I already knew Ace. He can be really annoyi..." The Vestal paused at the realisation of something "Hey wait. How did you know I was at a music shop?"

The line went silent for a moment as she heard the tone of a cancelled phone call made by an end button on a cell phone. She turned around and was met with a mint haired boy standing there at the centre of the isle, and in his hand was a black mobile. The bassist shut the cover and stuffed it in his pocket, then turned to her once again. They had exchanged numbers only for the deal she made with him, so it would be easier than if they were to meet personally.

He finally answered her curious question she asked just a second ago "I saw him following you back at the agency. So I went on his tracks" Mira cocked an eyebrow "Wow, a two way stalk. That's what every singer wants from her fans" She said sarcastically as her attention went back to the CD racks "So what do you want Ace? If you think I'm giving any personal information about Alice to you then you're dead wrong" She questioned in an almost threatening tone. The B. Brawler trailed her from behind as he replied "I thought you were supposed to be helping me with this scheme" She was listening to the words coming from his mouth, but just continued flicking through the old record covers searching for the new track to add to her collection "Who ever said I would help you?" She replied plainly.

The dancer's smile lit up on her face as she lifted up an old record from one of her favourite artists, one that she had been searching for ages. Her eyes stared at it adoringly as she shut them relishing the moment. Ace grinned at the fast changing red head in front of him as he turned away and shook his head at her childlike behaviour. Looks like I'm on my own on this.

{~X~}

Meanwhile as the dancer left her remaining friends back at ESteem, they were with finally finished with today's work, so they can now return back to their penthouse apartment. Kato arrived just at the entrance and opened the door for them as the three have been waiting patiently out front for him.

As they got in, someone from above was leaning against the glass window, staring at the leader with half closed amber eyes "When will I find the truth about what you're hiding?"


Tuesday was the day that the two groups would have to examine the pictures they have taken, and see which poses would be best for their final shoot.

At the moment the eight singers were in a conference room at ESteem, sitting on tan leather seats by an oval table facing one another in the silence. They were all waiting for the model who was supposed to arrive here personally to hand them their shots, however he was more than an hour late, causing the two groups to get irritable from the aura the room was emitting. The cameramen on both sides of them grew weary of all the unexciting things not happening at the moment while they were filming. One yawned out of boredom as he covered their mouth with his left hand that was slipped in the camera strap. Almost immediately at that time, the double doors flew open, causing the two crew members to shoot at the entrance. It revealed the awaited model, slowly making his way to the end of the table where an extra seat was set for him. And in his hands were two yellow folders that he placed on in front of him as the violet eyed boy sat in his chair "Sorry for the wait, I forgot that today was the day for your results" He explained tiringly while handing one of each leader their files.

Alice carelessly took it out of his right hand as Shun did the same on the other side "This is not very confidential if our competitions in the same room" The orange head stated as she opened the sealed envelope. The raven haired vocalist ripped the folder as well while agreeing with the girl across from him "She's right. What was the point of doing this together in the same room?" Hydron, as them, didn't seem all that interested with being there "It was too much of a nuisance to this twice. So I decided it was better to do all at once"

The orange head flicked through the photos in the folder and resealed it "Well since we've got our pictures now, we'll take our leave" Alice declared while getting up pushing her seat away. The other girls did the same and they followed her out the doors.

The model shrugged and allowed them to leave without complaints. The bassist on the end eyed at him aggravatingly, then closed his grey orbs as his arms folded across his chest "Hydron, if you don't mind leaving, we'd like to see our snapshots as a group" He told him coldly. The blond was insulted by his request as a sort of scowl was made on his face. The model made a 'Humph' sound as he didn't shift an inch. Shun wanted to move this along so that they could get to analysing their pictures "I'm sorry, but could you please leave. We need some privacy if we want to examine our progress thoroughly" He said while beginning to skim the photo pile in his hands, not really caring how the model reacted.

Hydron pushed his chair away a little too forcefully as it hit the window behind him, then stormed off, leaving the B. Brawlers in peace, just as they wanted.

The Miss B members were by the foyer of the agency as Alice began surveying their out coming shots. Mira and Runo trailed beside her, but their stylist was hanging back, looking a little down. Their leader noticed the tension she was giving off, so she stopped and turned her head to the silver haired girl "What's wrong Julie?" She asked curiously as the said Australian played with her fingers "It's just..." She paused as a single tear fell from her right eye. Julie wiped it away and continued "... I didn't even get to say goodbye to the costume department" The dancer and rapper fell anime style as Alice had a sweat drop over her head with a twitching smile on her lips. Their leader placed the photos back into the envelope and walked up to the tanned skinned girl while putting a hand to her shoulder "We'll give you one hour. Come back to the apartment once you're done so we can get started with your evaluation ok" With a playful wink, she along with the two that were just getting up from the floor, exited out the revolving door to Kato who was waiting outside to escort them home.

The stylist smiled at them sincerely as she made her way happily towards elevator.

{~X~}

"They seem pretty good" Dan commented as he passed picture after picture down to the others after Shun was done with them. Their drummer agreed as he gave the last one down to Ace "Yeah, I think we'll be fine on Thursday" Their leader got up and tucked his left hand in his pocket as the other took hold of the folder "We can't slack off yet. We're not even halfway through the competition, so don't get cocky" He then made his way behind them and placed the file in front of Ace as he continued walking out the door, leaving his members behind for the time being.

{~X~}

Julie was taking one last look inside the costume department as she closed the door, letting the inside drown back into the shadows. She sighed as it clicked to a shut. The stylist was sad to leave the designer clothes behind, but she soon bounced back as her phone vibrated in her shorts pocket. A wide smile replaced her frown as she texted back the message. When she entered the glass elevator, she realised what time it was on her cell "Oh no it's five. I'd better head back before it gets dark" The Australian exited the lift and out the door, sending one last message before shutting the cover. There was a taxi on the other side of the road, so she decided to catch that instead of calling Kato as it was more convenient, considering it was right there in front of her. She looked left and right to make sure it was clear, which it was, before crossing. But when the silver haired girl laid her right foot on the street pavement, a gold Lamborghini convertible halted to fast stop, just centimetres before it could even touch her. This made her jump back onto the sidewalk out of shock as she glanced frightfully at the driver.

"Hey Julie"

She was greeted by none other than the model that had been teaching her and everyone else for the past week. He lifted his sunglasses up with his free hand that wasn't on the steering wheel, and grinned at the stylist playfully. The Australian for the first time was stifled to say anything, considering he nearly ran her over. She just waved at him a little tensely "Hey... Hydron..." The violet eyed blond leaned over and opened the passenger seat "Hop in. I'll drive you back" She was hesitant, but she knew she had an obligation to Alice, so she accepted his offer and got in. He once again placed his glasses back to his nose and revved up the engine for a speedy start.

As Hydron was driving down the main road, Julie had her head out to the side, letting the wind fly through her hair. It stopped when the car slowed down and parked outside a fancy clothing store. It was entirely complied of glass, along with white pillars escalating to at least seven storeys, and the words Lock and Key written in rainbow stained glass in front the entrance.

The stylist stared at it for a while as the model exited the vehicle and went over to the other side to get the door for her. She got out and remained examining her surroundings "This isn't my loft" He nodded knowing that already, but instead of saying anything, he grabbed her left hand and guided her inside the shop.

A sales lady arrived greeted and guided them to the women's section, where it was stocked with the season's new styles "Hey Julie, I didn't know you brought you're boyfriend" She whispered silently to the silver haired girl. Her face shivered in disgust as she leaned over and spoke in a quiet tone "Eeeewwww! That's just gross Mui! I don't even know why he drove me here!" Mui knew Julie pretty well as this was one of the stores she shops on a daily basis. The brownish blond clerk smiled anyway as she brought them to their destination "I'll leave you two to browse" She then left them back to the entrance and welcomed another customer.

The Australian didn't really understand what was happening as she walked beside the model "What are we doing at Lock and Key?" She questioned curiously as she wasn't getting an answerer for the entire time they've been there. Hydron just sat in one of the many waiting seats by a white column and smirked "Choose whatever you like. It's my treat today" She was shocked by his answer "You mean, clothes" The violet orbed blond simply nodded, but the tanned girl waved her hands furiously at him "Look, that's a nice gesture but I don't want any..." She was stopped as two other saleswomen hooked her arms from behind and dragged her to the changing room.

After a few minutes she came out wearing one of the many dresses from the new autumn collection. It was sleeveless, tied to her neck, and flowed from the waist down to her knees that was wrapped by a red sash. The fabric was lightweight yet surprisingly warm, and had a maple leaf pattern with different shades of red, brown and other soft season colours all over. She twirled a little uncomfortably in front of the body length mirror, while the model stood behind her, just watching. When all the clothes were worn, they then moved to the shoe section. Each time a pair was given to her be a sales clerk, Hydron always bent down to put it on her. And she would just give a small fake smile in return. Soon enough the store floor was covered with hundreds of shoes that she'd tried on.

As the model was putting on another heel for her, the faint sound of a shutter could be heard from somewhere inside the department. The stylist glanced here and there to reassure herself that it was nothing. But her mind told her something was off. This place is giving me this weird feeling. And not the kind I usually get when I'm shopping here.

"This time he's using a different tactic. And I can tell she's not so happy about it"

With their photographic device in hand, and hidden stealthily behind a trio of mannequins, they once again gained another picture saved in the SD card inserted inside a compartment of their camera.

"Thank you for shopping at Lock and Key. I'll see you next time Julie" Mui said as she scanned the items by the cashier and handed her the purchases Hydron had paid for with his credit card.

He then drove Julie back to her apartment complex building, along with the things he bought for the stylist in her lap. However it blocked her eyesight of the street. As he dropped her off and sped away back to the main road, she sneered at his departing vehicle, walked over to the trash bin to the side, and threw the bags in. With one last look at the fleeting car, she walked inside the lobby with her head held high. She exited the lift to the penthouse level and stomped to a stop once the double doors closed to a shut "Can you believe that Hydron dude!" She exclaimed to the girls in front of her who were sitting in the living room with the television on a random channel. The Australian continued "He just totally went egotistical on me and took me out shopping! And he paid for everything!" Runo raised an eyebrow "I thought you liked shopping. Isn't it your favourite exercising activity" She half stated half joked. The silver haired girl placed her hands on her hips and gave the rapper a pouty look "Not like this!" Mira, who was flipping through the channels, had her eyes on the T.V. but still listened to her friend "Then why don't you have any bags?" The tanned girl lifted her left hand up in an all knowing way as she shut her midnight blue eyes "I threw them in the trash" She explained. The three remaining member stopped what they were doing as their faced turned to the stylist shockingly "You, throw away clothes!" They shouted unbelievably in unison. Mira nearly fainted "You would never do that. You're supposed to be our stylist!" Julie sighed as her head dropped "It was the hardest thing I had to do..." She paused as she lifted her body back up "... But I definitely won't wear anything he chooses for me" Alice and Runo giggled while the red head smirked "I guess you're right with that one" She said agreeing with her stylist's reasoning.

Their leader stopped the giggles, got up from the white leather couch and took the photo file off the glass table. She walked over to the Australian and handed it to her "We've already chose our best poses, so it's your turn. Show us which one you're doing, and when you're done we'll discuss how to plan out the final shoot" The silver head nodded and made her way to her room on the right.


It was Wednesday. Twenty four hours before their shoot was going to take place. And everyone was resting up to get their energy moving for the day.

At the moment, Shun had someone to meet someone for lunch. Although he just told his group members he was going out, with no information on where, like he usually did, and like they usually accepted.

He was now being escorted on the ground level of D&H to the Japanese room. It was like the ones you'd usually find in Japan, and since the person who reserved the room liked the old style, Shun didn't complain. The suite had a sliding shoji screen door made with translucent paper, one by the entrance, and one that led to the outside which, featured a pond scene lined with bamboo plants and a spitter by its edge, repeating the same sound as the water ran through it. The ground had tatami flooring that featured a low rectangular wooden table and two zabuton sets on each side. There were some traditional antiques lined on the wall to the left, as well as a tokonoma space that hanged a decorative scroll along with an ikebana.

The ninja opened the screen door as he took off his shoes and left them out on the other side "Hey Gramps, I'm sorry I didn't catch you the last week. I had some... business to take care of" He wasn't lying. At that time the amber orbed singer was pursuing his inquiry about Alice, so he texted him that he couldn't make it then. The elderly man slowly nodded once understandingly as he motioned him to sit "Its fine. I was quite busy at the time at the company, so I was going to cancel anyway" Shun did as he was told, and sat over the set on his legs. His Grandfather was the CEO of a martial arts chain that reached to all corners of the world, but he lived in a dojo in the countryside so he hardly ever got into Tokyo.

"You've been in the city for quite some time haven't you?" He asked, attempting to create a conversation out of the unbearable silence. The man nodded as his answer while a waitress brought in a Japanese style tea set and placed it on the table. She poured the green tea that was pre brewed in the pot for each of them, then left the two inconspicuously. Neither one touched the cups that were situated in front of them. And neither one spoke for a long period of time.

"When are you going to give up on this fantasy of yours?"

He questioned out of the blue almost tiringly as he closed his eyes and drank the hot tea. The vocalist looked down and faced the tatami floor of the room, letting his fringe darken his eyes. He's so straightforward. It's the same thing over and over again. When will he stop?

Shun's hands that rested on his lap clenched tightly as the gloves made a tight compacted sound "I'm not going to give up" He stated in a harsh yet determined tone as he lifted his gaze to his Grandfather. He held it unwaveringly for a while, not hesitating on taking back the words he said.

The raven haired ninja got up abruptly, and left. Not bothering to say goodbye to his relative, who remained unfazed by his actions, and just continued to sip his drink, while Shun's tea turned cold.

As he stormed out of the building, he had his hands stuffed deeply in his pockets and his teeth grinding against one another. Just less than fifteen minutes with him and he's already pushed me to my limit. I should have known better.

{~X~}

Alice's POV

I didn't understand what he was saying but I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I was walking through the streets as it was our day off, and I had some errands to run before returning. I had my earphones on as I placed my iPod in my right pocket and continued to pass the bystanders around me, listening to every word it played.

I sighed as it stopped and was no longer running. I wasn't really watching where I was going exactly, until I heard the slight sound of a horn beeping repeatedly from my right ear that still had the phone. I quickly jolted, realising I was in the middle of a crossing, and that the figurine post on the other side was flashing red. There was a horizon blue Porsche heading my way, and I panicked. My body felt tensed as I was shaking. This never happened to me before. I shut my eyes tightly and waited for the impact to hit me.

However I felt almost relived... I know I shouldn't be, but there was a part of me that wanted that car to hit me. So I could leave. So could be...

No one's POV

The vehicle began attempting not to hit the orange headed girl at the centre of the road, but they were unable to hit the breaks in time before it was swerving out of control.

As the bystanders gasped, unable to do or say anything, almost at an instant someone appeared by the vocalist and took her waist. Alice opened her eyes, but before she could see the shadowed person, they wrapped their hands around her and swiftly brought them to the other pathway.

The orange head now had her legs over the concrete on her left side as her upper body was being held by someone from behind. She turned and found a pair of amber eyes connecting with hers "Shun...?" Soon enough the witnesses gathered around the two, whispering worried and frightful scares to one another. The car that almost ran her over halted to a stop for a split second before speeding off, not wanting the authorities to get on their tail.

"I'm fine. You can let go of me now" She said as if nothing had happened. The amber orbed singer did as she instructed, and released her figure from his grip as he stood up straight. The Russian steadily got up to her feet that were still a little timid, and was about to say something else, but she noticed that her ears were free from the phones she just wore. The vocalist checked her shorts pocket, and found it was empty. She quickly looked back onto the crossing and found it was located out at the centre, with the cars continuing to pass it. Her eyes went wide as she wasn't thinking clearly and was about to run out on the traffic filled street "Oh no!" But she felt her left wrist being pulled back behind her "What do you think you're doing! Are you trying to kill yourself again!"Shun's voice dripped with seriousness as his eyes narrowed at her. Alice gritted her teeth as sharp breath escaped.

Once the road was cleared, the onlookers went back to their own lives. The street lamp flashed the little green person, allowing them the walk over to the other side. The Russian beauty ripped her hand away from the captive and hastily made her way to her iPod. She bent down and picked it up, checking whether it was damaged during the chaos. The singer sighed in relief as she got up. The people were passing by her as she stood still, staring at the device.

The ninja walked up behind her and whispered in her right ear "You should be more careful" And that was it. He brushed passed her and made his way to the other side.

Alice broke out of her relieved dream state and tilted her head. That's it? He's not acting like he usually does. She thought as her steps rushed to the curb before the cars restarted their course "What? No harassment? No interrogation? What's with you today?" She questioned sceptically as she, for some reason followed his trail behind. He continued to ignore her and just walked down the sidewalk "I'm not in the mood" With that, he quickened his pace around a corner, but when Alice caught up, he was nowhere in sight.

Huh. So he is pretending to be someone he's not. I have to say he's a pretty good actor, but not enough to deceive me. He can't keep that mask up forever. I'll catch him when he least expects it.

A smirk grew on her lips as she took one last look, twirled around, and made her own way back.

{~X~}

"Dammit! He's getting to me again!"

The raven haired vocalist took out all his frustration as he slammed the side of his tightly clenched fist to a brick wall of an empty alleyway. I can't get her secret if she knows I'm playing her. I have to stay calm, and not let my guard down.

{~X~}

"I've got the photos boss" A voice confirmed as they slid a blue memory card on the desk. It stopped just in front of a red leather chair that had its back turned to their photographer.

"Good job Komba. I'll call in Julio so he can get started on the article" The person in the chair started as they swirled towards him and picking the SD card in their hands. His employee bowed understandingly "Yes Klaus" With that he exited of his editor's chambers, searching for the said journalist somewhere else in the building.

The misty green eyed editor in chief stared at the card as he played with it in his left hand that was elevated by his elbow resting on his oak desk. As the sun was just setting in the atmosphere, the room went dark "Looks like Masquerade Publishing is in for a very exclusive piece" He said out loud. The German placed the memory disk back down onto his desk, and switched it for the telephone beside it. After a few buttons were pressed, a voice answered on the other end "We need to discuss some matters concerning..."


The next day, the four were preparing for their final shoot as they had to get to ESteem early in the morning to get ready.

The two singing groups were separated in their own dressing rooms, filled with workers putting on their makeup in front of the lit up vanities as they sat in black fold out directors chairs.

The girls had already gotten into their costumes. They were just waiting for the cosmeticians to finish their jobs. As the one on Alice completed applying her lipstick on with a thin brush, she was done and ready to get to the set. The orange head got out of her seat and double checked everything in the mirror just in case, then turned to her girls "I'll see you guys there ok" They responded with an agreeing sound as they were either getting their face powdered with blush or lining their eyes with black liner. She giggled as the Russian made her way past the rushing employees towards the door.

{~X~}

The B. Brawlers were done faster than the girls, and they were currently at the studio they were sharing, waiting for the S.T.A.R.Z. crew to show up so they can roll their progress for the show. It now occupied two blank canvases, as they will be both be shot at the same time. One of the photographers was growing impatient as he tapped his foot incessantly by the background set. He finally had enough of his time being wasted "Argh! That's it! Take five until they get here. I can't stand TV people!" He complained in a frustrated manner as he stormed out the door to who knows where. The other photographer sighed and just continued to prep up his equipment. Shun the others watched as it shut to a close. Billy pondered at the silence for a while before speaking "So what are we going to do now?" Ace shrugged while the guitarist was stuffing his face with the table of food by the side of the room. The blond was about to get the opinion of his leader when he realised he was no longer in the room. He sighed deeply to no one in particular. This is the problem with ninja's. You never know where they run off to.

{~X~}

As the orange headed vocalist made her way to the photo shooting set, she halted and placed her right palm over her forehead as she shut her chocolate eyes "Sometimes I wonder if you really are a stalker" She said tiringly as she exhaled a deep breath. The Russian was referring to the singer with jet black hair who instantaneously appeared behind her. Alice glanced from her side with a frown as she continued walking.

"What happened yesterday?"

He asked curiously as she stopped abruptly on the white tiles. Alice's expression became serious, and almost deadly. Her breathing was as soft as ever as she closed her orbs once again "What are you talking about?" She retaliated as if the question at hand was nothing of concern to her. Shun got back to his original intention and let what happened with his Grandfather the other day slip out of his mind, so he continued on "I doubt that you would think I'd forget. Were you trying to kill yourself?" The beauty turned her head to him with glazed eyes and spoke in a nostalgic tone "Why would I do that? I'm not done here to let it all disappear from my grasp. Do you really think I would let a car be the end of my career?" As she spoke her last sentence she was fully face to face with him, their gaze was so strong they didn't say a word for a while.

"Speaking of which, what about you? Yesterday you seemed more... angry. Different than the rival I knew" Alice was turning this situation against him, but will he fall into the trap? "If you're not going to answer my question, why should I answer yours?" The orange head simply smiled, ignoring his serious voice "I wasn't expecting an answer from you. I was just stalling for time to avoid your question because it's about time to head to the shoot" She turned and was about to walk away but was stopped by the most surprising words.

"You looked more beautiful without makeup"

The singer spun back to his direction "Humph, what a line" Alice spat back with smirk crossing her lips as she looked away from him to her upper right. He closed his amber orbs as his hands reached the inside of his pockets "What? You said I acted differently yesterday. Didn't you want the me from before?" Her facial features became grim as her eyes lowered on him "I don't like fakes" Shun blinked his eyes open, a little shocked that she knew he was pretending to act like a totally different person. Alice let out a somewhat amused laugh, but her expression changed as she remembered what he did for her the day before. It was softer, something he hasn't seen of her "But, thank you... For yesterday..." Shun was surprised be her words. She never acts like this. The orange head then continued "But don't this this changes anything. This is still a competition that I'm going to win" There it is. The ninja thought at her usual behaviour "Well see about that" He said as a grin plastered on his face.

"Um, guys..."

The two looked at the voices direction, realising someone else was there with them. It was Runo, seeing the two at arm's length. "... Shooting begins in ten minutes, so don't be late..." With that, the rapper walked off, her mind filling with curiosity. Alice, are you going to use him, or is he just for your amusement?

{~X~}

"Sorry we're late. Traffic" Baron apologized as the crew came flooding into the studio. One person gave him his mike and the workers of the ESteem agency were clearing out of their way. Billy shrugged and made his way on to the right blank canvas background "We don't mind, but one of our photographers went insane" He said emphasising the last word. Their host sweat dropped as the crew were just about done setting up.

Mira and Julie arrived not long before Baron, and were already prepared to pose as they were directly facing the camera lens with their own photographer behind it. Runo walked through the doors shortly after. The stylist waved enthusiastically to her "Hey, where's Alice?" The blunette was a little hesitant on saying anything as her steps paused for a second before her pace grew slower "She'll be here any minute" The rapper answered with a small smile.

Then almost as if on cue, the missing leader entered through the doors, well, two leaders actually.

Ace watched suspiciously as he and Dan made it to Billy's side. Alice parted form Shun and took her place on the set by her own members. As the raven haired vocalist casually walked over to the blank canvas in his usual stance, eyes shut and his hands placed in his pockets, the guitarist nudged him from the side "Where were you just now?" He whispered to the ninja on his right. Shun half opened his amber orbs and took one last look at the group behind him. Concentrating on the beauty with the locks of orange hair speaking with her friends "Just coming up with a new plan" He replied nonchalantly as he continued further to the centre of the set.

As the two groups were preparing for their shoot, the doors flew open once again to reveal their now calm photographer "I'm sorry for blowing up before. Now that the TV crew is here..." He took one annoyed glance at the host before finishing off his sentence "... we can get to business" The other photographer rolled his eyes and lowered his posture to remove the camera off the tripod to begin. The two then told them to relax and start posing, with the television crew recording and Baron giving some commentary to the scene for the viewers "Are you ready?" The photographing duo asked.

The four on both sides gave a competitive look to each other as they got into their stances. With one last glimpse they turned staring directly into their own lenses, and the flashes of light began.


The shoot was now over, and the crew from S.T.A.R.Z. packed up their cameras for the day and headed back to the studio, as well as the people from ESteem clearing the set and photography equipment.

"Wow its late" Mira stated as she checked her cell for the time and realised it was about seven thirty. The girls were just finishing up inside the changing rooms as they were now in their regular clothing and their costumes were placed back in the garment bags they had before on the rack that the workers moved for them. But the company said they could keep them as a gift, so they are sending it to them later on.

She shut it and turned to the rest of her friends who were just about ready "We'd better get back soon before it gets too dark" The others nodded and prepared to leave the ESteem modelling agency.

They exited the facility and into their private van, driving back to their penthouse, waiting for the surprise they had in store for the show.

"I hope tomorrow won't give me a heart attack like last time" Runo stated as she stared out the window with her elbow resting on the armrest holding her chin in the palm of her hand. Mira laughed a bit before responding "I know right, I think everyone had one besides the winners and Julie" The stylist huffed as she crossed her arms and closed her eyes "Hey! Just because was partnered with one of the winners doesn't mean it didn't shock me either!" The blunette raised an eyebrow with an amused grin as she glanced behind her releasing her chin "You wanted to have a heart attack?" She said comically. The Australian let her tense body loose and pouted a little "I just didn't want to be left out" The girls all soon started laughing over their friends reasoning. They really enjoyed being together, that's what made them such a group in the first place.

Suddenly a ring was heard from Alice's pocket. She stifled to stop her giggles as she reached for it and answered "Hello..." Her expression turned curious as the other line finished and brought the dial tone to her ears. The three noticed this and waited for their leader to speak. The orange head placed her cell back, and turned to them a bit confusingly "Mylene just called. Joe wants to see us at the studio" They all exchanged worried glances. Their manager would never see them personally this late in the night unless it was urgent. They all nodded, wondering what could have come up. Alice turned to Kato "We need to get to JYP" The butler understood his mistress's orders and made a U-turn for the agency.

{~X~}

"I did as I was told, so have you got my pay?" Hydron demanded sternly. He was now in an alleyway in the dead of the city night. Only a few passed by the portion that wasn't lit by the streetlamps that just begun flickering on.

There were three other shadows in that concealed space. The person he was negotiating with handed him a bulky envelope filled with a stack of fresh bills. The model opened it to check it was all in there and nodded. They smirked as their back leaned on the opposite brick wall of the blond. The one on his left had their arms crossed over their chest as their eyes were shut emotionlessly "You did you're job, but none of the girls bought that charade of yours"

"Those girls weren't even worth my time" He said scornfully, but truth be told, he was angry at himself for not being able to woo one of them. The violet orbed boy sneered at the trio before leaving them with the rats that scoured the cold floor.

The last remaining figure let out an amused laugh before they followed the other two down the end of the alleyway, and disappeared behind a steel door.


Me: Sorry if this wasn't what you were expecting. Long time since I got writing as homework turned me into a mindless zombie. But I will make the upcoming ones better!

Dan: You still are one ever since Halloween

Me: Don't bag zombies! I saw a ton of them in the city. It's like the most popular costume or something

Billy: Well you better keep writing the next chapter instead of arguing with Dan

Ace: Yeah, it will take you a few days to write it, but it will take a week to stop Dan from shutting up

Dan: Hey!

Shun: They make a valid point

Dan: Why do I even try (Slumps head)

Me: Well I'll update as fast as I can, and hopefully find a way to make the plot in my head fit ;)
