Chapter 7: Who We Sing For
StarLights POV
6:30pm
" From the top " said the producer standing from the the sound booth in the outside auditorium near the amusement park.
We started from the beginning only to once again get stopped for the countless time, feeling irritated by the producers voice he looked at the three us. " Listen guys this isn't working out " he explains only to get us more frustrated, " what are you talking about? " asked Taiki speaking out first on our behalf.
" You do know who we are don't you? " Yaten asks crossing his arms, " yes I'm very well aware of who the three of you are but what I hear isn't harmony amongst the three of you " explains the producer " your just not at where you should be " he added shaking his head before walking away.
The three of us couldn't have been more upset, for the last four hours we've been practicing non-stop for this guy who's a legend in the music industry he's helped many well known celebrities to get where they are today.
He's very opinionated, his judgment is brutal and he doesn't sugar coat anything. There was a rumour that he told a legend who won Grammys and earned a spot in the hall of fame something that it changed his career...
" You will never make it unless you show me now that your singing as though it were your last day on this earth "
That legend proved to him and even earned his respect.
Now here we are getting his criticism like when we first started going to countless auditions and hearing rejection after rejection, there were times when we wanted to call it quits but we succeeded.
" We can't let this guy get to us " said Seiya leading them to the break room, " no shit but what does he want? " asked Taiki grabbing a bottle of water while Yaten let out a grunt clearly annoyed.
" When Matt said he was interested in hearing us during our rehearsal I didn't think we were going to get criticized " said Seiya before glancing at the clock " I gotta go " he added getting Taiki and Yatens attention. " Just where do you think your going? " asks Yaten looking at Seiya's retrieving back.
Just as Seiya was about to respond Matt walked in looking both nervous and serious, " good evening threelights " he greeted us only to make each of us look at him strange, " okay spill it " said Yaten not liking when things weren't said right away.
" Alright I just finished talking to him and he said all of you lack talent " started Matt looking at us " along with how is it that you are even famous " he finished.
" Well you can tell him to shove a microphone up his ass " said Yaten walking out of the break room " well we've heard more worse things " answers Seiya putting his hands in his pockets. Taiki didn't make anything of it, " however he's willing to listen to you guys again tomorrow as long as you don't make his ears bleed " explains Matt once again in a nervous tone.
" Whatever we'll just have to practice in the studio " said Taiki looking at Seiya, " I got personal business tonight I'll meet you guys there when I'm done " explains Seiya heading out the door, " cancel it we've got work to do " said Taiki upset.
" I'll meet you guys later " said Seiya walking out of the room with Matt following, " you got it? " Seiya whispers going down the hall. Rolling his eyes Matt hands Seiya an envelope " also as requested a car with a clean tuxedo is waiting for you near the front entrance " Matt explains standing still.
Seiya's POV
7:00pm
Silver Millennium Theatre
Adjusting my tie once more I look ahead seeing the familiar building once again, " another big audience coming to listen to her " I said smiling grabbing the black fedora hat so that my face look less noticeable.
Thinking back to the day that I was able to come see Usagai's rehearsal along with Haruka warning me to stay away from her still didn't bother me. Unlike the devil that was betraying her who didn't care for the remarkable performances, if I could I would see her every night.
I came out of my thoughts when a valet opened the car door for me, stepping out I was relieved to see countless people who didn't recognize me and no signs of media were present as well. If Yaten and Taiki found out I was here again they'll kill me, I made Matt tell them that I was on date.
As I walked in everyone was mingling before the show started, keeping my head down I took the envelope out then opened it. " I wonder what seat Mr.Watashi gave me? " I asked taking the ticket out, my smile spread and joy took over. " I'll have to thank him personally " I said staring at the ticket that read front row seat.
" I'll be able to see her more now " I thought while getting a drink before heading into the auditorium...
Usagai's POV
" Okay just a few more " said my personal seamstress Megan who was currently working on putting together the small clasps of my dress for tonight's performance . " Of course " I replied as I looked in the mirror admiring another beautiful creation Megan put hard work and time into making.
I always request that the gowns I wear be floor length which was very common. The gown for tonight was a mermaid style dress with a corset like top with an off shoulder part made completely of white and light blue crystals beads, the skirt part touched the floor as though it were a water falling. The colours transcended from a clear water like blue to white. As for my shoes they were light blue heels coated in glitter.
My hair was in a waves with a couple pieces placed in the front, the accessories were very beautiful starting off with crystal tear drop earrings and matching bracelet cuffs finishing with a head piece that looked as if there were drops of water on my head.
" Alright all done you look so stunning Miss.Tsukino " said Megan before I looked in the mirror, " thank you but you deserve to be praised your work is absolutely amazing " I said smiling at Megan " it's my honour to do this for you " she said smiling.
Just then there was a knock on my door " Yes " I answer, " 5 minutes til opening Miss.Tsukino " announced stage crew, " I'll be right out " I replied looking myself over once again.
Seiya's POV
Everyone was beginning to enter the auditorium as the announcement was made.
An usher escorted me to my seat as we walked I kept looking around I was certain someone was watching me.
" Mr.Kou " said the usher gesturing to my assigned seat, forgetting about what I was doing I couldn't resist smiling seeing how I was going to be looking directly at Usagai.
Thanking the usher I sat down then took a deep breath trying to forget what the producer said today, it really was getting to me along with Yaten and Taiki I thought our days of stress were gone but now it's having to deal with someone who doesn't think were talented.
Suddenly the lights dimmed down and the orchestra played a light opening, sitting up straight the curtains open and there standing like a goddess was her.
As she began to sing my heart was beginning to race just like when I first saw her, I didn't think it was possible for someone to look so beautiful. The expression she shows as she sings really touches your soul. Whenever I hear her I feel that she wants everyone to know what's in herself.
9:40pm
Everyone was up on there feet giving Usagai another standing ovation for her performance even myself but it was getting to the end which is a pity because I don't want it to end. I don't think she's even noticed me tonight but even if it's just a second I'd be complete...
As everyone calmed down Usagai prepared herself for the final song, awaiting to begin I smile at her only this time my wish came true allowing our eyes to meet...
Usagai's POV
Hearing the orchestra beginning the finale I look up smiling at the audience, I'm so happy to make people love the opera. As I was looking straight my eyes see a familiar face in the front row, Seiya.
I'm not sure why but when my eyes met with his night blue eyes my heart began to beat faster.
His gentle smile makes me happy...
Closing my eyes I took a deep breath and began...
" Night time sharpen, heightens each sensation
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses "
As I sang the first part for some reason I couldn't look away from him...
" Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night "
" Slowly, gently night unfurls it's splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing, music is deceiving "
I'm surprised to see him again, it was only for a brief moment when we first met but he was kind...
" Hard as lightning, soft as candlelight
Dare you trust the music of the night "
" Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth "
" And the truth isn't what you want to see
In the dark it is easy to pretend "
Bringing my hands together my fingers brushed against the engagement ring making my eyes widen, hopefully I didn't make a mistake...
" That the truth is what it ought to be "
" Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, fear it, secretly possess you "
" Open up you mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight "
" The darkness of the music of the night "
" Close your eyes, start a journey to a strange new world "
Seiya's POV
As the performance continued I express a compassionate expression, it's probably just me but I think she made a light mistake. It wasn't noticeable but with being a musician I can tell.
" Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before "
" Close your eyes and let music set you free "
" Only then can you belong to me "
Smiling once more I recalled in her first performance how when it comes to the end she puts everything towards it...
" Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation "
" Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write "
Once again our eyes met again...
" The power of the music of the night "
" You along can make the song take flight
Help me make the music of the night "
When the orchestra finished Usagai expresses a sad smile at me, standing again everyone applauds. While bowing our eyes still stay connected...
15 Minutes Later
After the show I headed backstage to say hello to Usagai before heading out.
" Mr.Kou you made it " said Mr.Watashi walking down the hall, " good evening Mr.Watashi yes I came and thank you for the amazing seat " I replied shaking his hand, " your most welcome and how was Miss.Tsukino performance? " he asks me smiling.
" She was amazing and expresses lots of emotion into her singing " I answer thinking from beginning to end how it was incredible " if it's alright I'd like to congratulate her " I added...
Usagai's POV
I stared into the mirror in silence while Megan said something in the background, " Miss.Tsukino...are you alright " she asks trying to get my attention, " forgive me Megan I must be a little tired " I answer looking at her.
" Oh I'm sorry how about I discuss your dress next week " she replies nervously, " that's okay " I said before she assists in slowly taking the head piece off, my mind drifted.
Throughout the last part sitting in the front row was Seiya, I couldn't put my finger on it but ever since I first met him I felt a gentle and caring feeling from him.
Looking down at my ring I couldn't help but feel off since Mamoru proposed I was the happiest I could be , I know I love him but why does this feeling of doubt come..
* knock * * knock *
Both of us stopped what we were doing knowing well I wasn't expecting anyone, Megan carefully placed the head piece down as we looked at the door. I smile brightly maybe it's my fiancé I thought happily. " It could be Mamoru " I said quickly spraying a bit of perfume...
" Come in " I said standing from my seat as the door opened I turned not seeing my Fiancé but...
"Good evening Miss Tsukino " greeted Seiya smiling
