I don't own nothing in the Uta No Prince Sama world
'Cept Ikki-kun :3 LET'S WRITE (Or I will write, and you read
Without his knowing, Natsuki had asked if Ikki would sing any songs with STARISH. Eyes widen, jaws dropped, but there was also some smiles from a few. Nanami was about to reply, giving her opinion that she would think that would be great. For the group and fans, but Tokiya commented first. He asked how would they let him into the group so easily, when they never heard his voice. Masato had argued, that he might sound exactly like Otoya. Tokiya had countered, describing that not everything about them could be the same.
So, thanks to Tokiya, everyone lead him to the recording room to try out a song. That's Tokiya's reason why he was going to be killed. Now Otoya? He didn't back him up when he said he wasn't sure about singing. He wouldn't mind singing in front of anyone, it's just that he had to sing in the smallest room he has ever seen. Otoya said nothing either, he actually encouraged everyone! He refrained from calling Otoya anything, especially in his head.
Ren, who was still by the door, shifted his arm so it pointed to the small room. "May the prince enter his castle" He teased, with a perky smirk. Ikki just glared at him, before glancing at the group for their reactions. Nanami was standing there, with her hands behind he back, smiling. Masato was beside her, showing no emotion, but seemed interested in how he will sing. Tokiya had his arms crossed, looking away as if he didn't really care. Syo was almost the same as Tokiya, but he seemed interested. Natsuki was grinning brightly, and gave him a small thumbs up, before making a motion with his hand to shoo him towards the room.
Otoya was just standing there on the other side of Nanami, smiling, but his eyes shown an apology. He just wanted to hear him sing, you can't blame him. Ikki gave a soft sigh, he couldn't act weak like in the store. Closing his eyes slightly he walked for the room. As soon as he entered the room, he gave deep breathes as he closed the door. All he had to do was sing, for like 3 minutes. He can do this. Masato walked up to the controls, luckily he knew how to work the buttons and switches.
While he set up the headphones, microphone, and sound in the room through the controls, Ikki worked to keep himself as calm as possible. He had uneven breathing, but for now, he was doing fine. He refrained from looking anywhere else beside outside the room, at everyone. Almost everyone was like how they were before, though Ren moved away from the door, by everyone else. What was keeping him calm the most, was that Otoya was standing by the window, smiling and occasionally waving at him.
Ikki didn't respond with anything, but he was grateful.
Then a sudden clash of music sounded in the room suddenly, but only for a second. It caused Ikki to jump a little, covering his ears "Holy sh-!" Otoya coughed loudly, so no one heard the others' cussing. No one heard it, or even commented on it. They were looking to see what caused the sound. Noticing someone missing, they all looked over on the other side of controls. There was Ren, standing innocently, whistling. Masato growled facing him "You pressed a button didn't you?"
Ren pretended to be hurt, but avoided eye contact "I would never!" He claimed. Ikki's eye twitched, before huffing "Ren, you nearly gave me a heart attack!" He raised his voice, but stayed quiet, since he was more frightened then mad. Ren just turned his head away, crossing his arms, silent. Masato sighed, before shifting back to the main controls. Nanami spoke up, explaining to Ikki that he should probably try to sing a little from Brand New Melody. The song Otoya and Nanami proposed.
Ikki just nodded, his fear was already catching up to him. This was not just 3 minutes. A second later, the door opened. Inside walked Otoya holding a piece of paper. He gently handed it to Ikki, smiling "You okay?" Ikki knew what he meant, while the others were confused. He just nodded, looking down at the paper. "Yeah.." Otoya stared at him for a second, before walking out of the room. Closing the door, he returned back to his place beside the window.
Ikki took a minute to look through the lyrics, the pitches, the tones. Otoya and that girl composed this? It's so... cheerful. Just like Otoya. It was obvious the red head had created this song just to make people smile. With a reply of 'ready', Ikki waited for the music, to start singing.
~ Le Time Skip ~
Ikki couldn't wait to get out of the room. As soon as Nanami said that was enough, he quickly headed out the room, lyrics in hand. He stopped in his tracks, silent as he stared at the group. Or rather behind the group. A loud laugh rang out, and some people in the group jumped, while other's had a sudden irritated aura surround them. Behind the group came the laugh, and it came from the only person that they knew could laugh like that.
Shining had laughed loudly, apparently he had watched the whole scene, from all the way from when Ikki-kun first walked into the recording room. Hyuuga and Ringo were standing on either side of him. Ringo had her- Ahem, his hands clasped together, smiling. Hyuuga was only standing there, Ikki saw him sigh a little. "Hyuuga-sensei.." Syo said quietly, looking at, practically his idol. Shining ceased his laughing, to speak.
"Well well, Do we have another Mr. Ittoki here? Surely I am not seeing or hearing things" The man practically rushed over, observing Ikki-kun closely. Ikki stared at him, wide eyes. The man had startled him, and he was too close for his liking. The man leaned back, looking towards the group "How long have you all known about this boy here?" Shining asked, gesturing to Ikki. Just before anyone could reply, Otoya stepped up.
"I known about Ikki-kun the longest, and I took care of him ever since he was found-" He was cut off, by Shining's normal loud voice "How was he found anyway?" He asked, yet another question. Otoya averted his eyes to the floor, it took him a moment to think. "He was in me and Tokiya's dorms, I came back one night, and there he was" He left out the parts about the mess, and everything. Shining looked at the original red head, before the rest of the group. "Now, how long have you all known of.. Ikki-kun, as you named him"
Tokiya answered with an honest "Ever since after noon yesterday". Ren answered with the day after Otoya had found him. Syo answered with a amount of 4 days after Otoya found him. Everyone else, said that they just met him a few hours ago, when their meeting started. Shining leaned back again, thinking. He was processing everything, to the information of how long they known the replica, how he sings, how he was found. He began laughing a little again.
Everyone was either startled or confused on why he was laughing. The man then pointed at Ikki-kun, before speaking "Nanami, compose a song for Ikki-kun and Mr. Ittoki here, a duet. I want to see how their voices sound together" He paused before explaining again, a little more serious "Even if the same looks and body, if you hadn't noticed, their singing voices are a bit different" Nanami nodded, seeming to agree. "I noticed, Ikki's is a little more lower and edgy, while Otoya's is a little higher, and clean" She said.
Ikki huffed, what was that supposed to mean? His voice wasn't clean like Otoya's? Shining continued talking, as he walked towards the door. Ringo and Hyuuga were already standing there, waiting. "I would like the song in 2 days, composed and recorded here in this room" Shining said, and took his leave. Everyone wasn't surprised by the fact that he hadn't made the most ridiculous exit, but that he hadn't said anything about keeping Ikki away from everyone.
Ringo waved a goodbye, wished good luck, before following Shining. Everyone then looked towards either Nanami, Otoya, or Ikki-kun. Had he just got signed up to be a idol?
~ With Shining ~
"He reminds me of someone" Hyuuga had replied, as they continued walking down the halls. Ringo jumped ahead, as if he had an idea "Wasn't there someone like that in a group that had became idols here?" He asked, looking at Shining. Shining had smiled a little, he knew that they had noticed too.
"I'm glad you two noticed" He said in his loud, ringing voice, but he lowered it for his next statement. "He is just like someone that had become an idol here before, and actually, those two are connected, in a few ways" Hyuuga and Ringo both stopped, looking at the large man. Hyuuga thought for a moment, thinking about his reply "Wasn't it someone from that one group... Quartet Night right?"
Ringo nodded, seeming to remember "Oh right! There is someone in the group similar to Ikki-kun" He replied, smiling seeming to remember just the group known as Quartet Night. Shining looked at the two of them, before looking back at the direction that they came from "Ikki-kun is almost like the Quartet Night's member... Mikaze Ai"
Hyuuga and Ringo both stared at him, they knew it too, but they let Shining explain further. "It's true that Mikaze isn't a clone of someone, as we know, but both males are very similar. If you noticed, it's almost as if both were robotic. Each assigned to a job, no matter their feelings they will accomplish it"
Ringo spoke up first, while Hyuuga started thinking "What do you mean? Assigned jobs and to accomplish it? How did Ikki-kun prove that?" Shining gave a small laugh this time, but somehow kept his serious aura. "Ikki-kun is obviously claustrophobic, as you probably didn't notice. But none of the less, he was asked to sing, and he faced his fear to sing"
"And how did Ai-" Hyuuga started, but was interrupted.
"When the group Quartet Night was being formed, the same thing happened to Mikaze Ai. Apparently his father had owned a lab, and Mikaze had always had a fear of small rooms, after seeing a lot of animals and such stuck in cages. Just like Ikki-kun, he had appeared out of no where, found by Reiji. Just like Ikki-kun, he faced his fear, and actually got over it, as he wanted to sing that much.."
Noticed the pause at the end, both Sensei's listened closely, awaiting for the continuation.
"And so, Ikki-kun will be just like Mikaze, completing the STARISH group and over come his fears to sing" Shining finished, grinning as he knew it would happen. Ringo clasped his hands together again, in awe "That's right! Ai-kun was just the same, maybe Ikki-kun really will be the same as him"
Hyuuga nodded, seeming to remember "I remember Mikaze, so it seems we have another person just like him" Shining grinned more, as they seemed to give their positive comments. "Now, we shall wait for that duet, and everything will play out nicely!"
~ Back To Le STARISH ~
Ikki had long gone moved away from the small room, standing beside Otoya and Nanami. Syo had asked Nanami if she could handle writing a duet in just the day after tomorrow. She only smiled, and nodded towards everyone. "I will be fine, besides it will be fun! It's a good chance to know more about Ikki-kun anyway" She claimed, smiling brightly. Tokiya looked away again, sighing, but said nothing.
Ikki looked at Nanami, a bit surprised. He hadn't expected the girl to want to even spend time with him. All well, at least it would just be him, Otoya, and Nanami working on the melody and lyrics for the duet. His own song that he was composing can wait. Otoya smiled, facing Ikki-kun "Yeah! It will be so fun to compose with Nanami again, and this time we will have Ikki-kun's help! He's already trying to compose a song!"
Nanami and everyone else looked at Ikki-kun. They saw probably the most rare thing they will ever see him react with. Ikki had become flustered instantly. He hadn't mind singing in front of everyone, but he wasn't so confident in his composing skills. Natsuki smiled, walking towards him "Really? Are you finished it? I'd love to hear it!" He claimed, staring at Ikki. "I would too" Nanami said quietly.
Ikki shook his head, and his flustered face disappeared. "I haven't finished it yet!... Besides, I don't want to show anyone" He huffed, crossing his arms and looking away. Otoya pouted, but said nothing. Ren smiled, as he faced Nanami "You three, try your best, Shining may actually be giving Ikki-kun a chance to join STARISH, if not, then at least an idol" Tokiya eyes widen at hearing that Ikki-kun might join STARISH. It was bad enough they had to share the same room, but he knew he couldn't do anything. He just had to let it all play out.
Otoya faced Ren, nodding lightly "Thanks for the support, Ren" Ikki looked back at Ren, tilting his head. He didn't say anything, but his eyes said 'thanks'. Each member of the group had wished the three luck, before going their separate ways, after exiting the room. Tokiya was reluctant to leave, but he had places to go too. Now all that was left in the room was Nanami and both red heads.
Otoya turned to both of them, raising an excited clenched fist up "Let's start on that duet now! Im so excited!" He raised his voice in excitement, as he waited for two replies. Nanami placed her hands behind her back again, swaying back and forth, as she thought if she had any work to do "hm.. I don't have any more work to do, so we can start now, if you like"
Otoya nodded, then looked at Ikki for his reply. With a sigh, he nodded "Fine, I have nothing else to do anyway.." There they decided, and they began their new duet.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Sorry fans of Ai, if you noticed this wasn't exactly his story, i'm sowwy ;-; But in a way, both really are similar If you're confused, just ask me any question you'd like, i'll explain AndPleaseDon'tHateOnMyStoryNow D:
