Chapter 7: Dancing with Death Part 2

The next morning~

"S-So, everyone's going?" Sena asked as Suzuna put on the finishing touches to his disguise.

"Pretty much" Suzuna stated, she was dressing Sena up and glamorizing him while the others waited outside the room.

"That's a relief…" Sena said when Suzuna came up into his face and pointed.

"Now do not, I repeat do not touch anything until your nails dry!" she ordered him.

He nodded rapidly as he raised his hands in defense, she flapped her hands in demonstration and he followed her motion.

She then did her impression of Hiruma when he had an idea… "No, no, no flap your arms wider, it'll dry faster~"

"O-Okay…" he nodded and flapped his arms like a bird…

The others entered, right on cue, though Sena was facing the opposite way, he was in drag… and he was flapping his arms … So all he could do was blush because he didn't dare oppose Suzuna, especially when she got that 'stop and see what happens' look on her face. (I really think Suzuna's older brother isn't Taki… but Hiruma, switched at birth or something… By the way he's still missing since yesterday… Where is he?)

"Fucking Chibi!" Hiruma shouted scaring the living daylights out of Sena.

"HIII!" Sena jumped throwing his hands like someone has a gun to his head and dropped to the floor, his knees felt the brunt of it… (No, Hiruma doesn't have a gun to Sena's head… right now.)

Suzuna stood the sobbing Sena up and turned him to face Hiruma, who had on those headphones you use at a shooting range…

"Keh, you did well" Hiruma smirked as he took the black headphones off, Sena kept his head lowered.

"Thanks~" Suzuna grinned slyly as she watch Hiruma eye Sena up and down like hungry wolf looking at a lost lamb.

"A-ano M-Mr. Hiruma… I-I really don't think people would b-believe… that I a-a boy eto-" Sena stuttered, then shut his eyes tightly spouted, "Can I just not go?" Sena speedily requested still flapping his hands against his lap, his eyes filled with determination, though wouldn't look up at Hiruma… but at the floor.

"Hi-Hiruma, you really shouldn't force him" Kurita tried to help the kid out, but everyone else knew that no one could talk Hiruma out of anything he set his mind to, and as proof Hiruma walked out the door and shouted, probably meant for Sena than most (they already know to go when he says go…), 'to hurry and get their fucking slow ass down in five minutes… if not… there will be a penalty game…' followed by a dark cackle.

"I feel for ya man… but-" Monta looked around the room wearily.

"But? But what?" Sena asked turning to Monta with half closed tear-filled earnest eyes and red flushed cheeks. The rest of the group blushed as Sena looked around, no one could look the boy in the eyes.

"You look really good in it!" Suzuna jumped still in her rollerblades. It was because he did… he had on red wedges with straps wrapping around his ankles and toes, he wore a short bloody red pleated tiered silk halter dress, and had on red bat accessories, such as red bat earrings and charm bracelet. (Why a halter dress? To hide the fact he was wearing a pushup bra and lacking breasts…)

"Hiruma, and the rest of us, already saw that video, you yourself convinced him" Musashi stated as he walked out the door, he knew better than to make Hiruma wait… everyone just nodded.

"W-what video…?" Sena's eyes widened as he remembered yesterday when the show girls forced him to dance and sing… Suzuna was rollerblading all over.

(Flashback)

"S-Suzuna… is that camera on?" Sena asked wearily in mid-step.

"Nope!" she grinned a cat like grin and aimed the camera at the blinking boy.

"O-Oh, okay then" Sena smiled relieved.

(Flashback's over!)

"…" 'Can't believe he fell for that… Sigh…' they all shook their heads, Mamori looked to the roof, shut her eyes and prayed.

'Please… somehow… let him get through this ordeal in one piece…' the others saw her praying, and they all clapped their hands together three times and prayed simultaneously.

"?" Sena looked around and saw people praying so he closed his eyes and prayed as well, though without his nails touching, and it was out loud.

"Please let Shin-san be there… if so I'll die happy" they all turned to Sena and thought,

'… So he's not afraid of dying… that makes things so much easier' but unbeknownst to them that something of that magnitude would actually occur that very night…

Gunshots reminded them that they were lagging behind… only one minute left until punishment so they all rushed out of their like hell was on their tails.

Sena, who was holding his arms out, slammed into the door frame and fell back which meant he was late… so there he was in the limo sitting across from the typing bubble blowing devil… alone…(this is punishment enough…)

"Ano Mr. Hiruma…" Sena cautiously started, looking from his exposed knees and the wall separating them from the rest.

"…What?" Hiruma didn't look away from his laptop.

"W-what's my pun-punishment…?"

"Keh… you'll see" the devil peered out from over his laptop, the light casted from the screen made Hiruma look even more demonic (if that was possible)…

Gulp… Sena quickly looked out the window. After a moment of silence the Devil spoke up.

"Fuckin' midget, got any songs you know?"

"Hm… um I know many songs"

"Good… then do you know this one?" Hiruma handed Sena a sheet of paper.

"… Hai…" Sena scanned the paper once again, "why?" he looked at Hiruma, whom would've put a shark to shame.

"Kekeke"

Sena just shrunk in his seat; he pulled down his dress to cover more of his legs and stared at the piece of paper that read Addicted by K.C…

'Hm… I like her other song better… what was it called… um… oh right, beautiful disaster…'

After getting off the limousine, Hiruma went off by himself leaving the daydreaming Sena to stand there in the midst of crew workers setting things up for the award ceremony.

"Mm… I can't do this… I just know something is going to go down…hm…ch-chotto…. Yo-Yoru-san… Yoru…where'd you go…?" Sena finally looked up from the paper to look around and see… he was all alone. And thus began his whimpering… "Mina…? Dare ka…? Iiya…sobs…hiccup!" And so he, in a red dress sat in a corner sobbing while people run about…

Meanwhile back with the Devils

"What do you mean you left him!" Mamori yelled at the unmoving Devil.

"He was staring off into space so I left him, the damn midget'll be fine, he doesn't need his Mamori-neechan to hold his hand everywhere" Hiruma mocked 'Besides I have him bugged' he grinned bearing every fang.

"You don't know Sena! He is prone to be picked up by strange people!" Mamori flailed her arms about.

"…" Hiruma actually knew that… but he forgot… not that he'd ever admit to it. He just turned around and walked away.

"Where do you think you're going now?" Mamori asked following him, she wasn't done lecturing him yet.

"Toilet or do you wanna follow me?" He snickered as he waited for her reply.

"…" Mamori turned bright red with fury and embarrassment and went off in the other direction to look for Sena. Hiruma then sped away, watching his GPS tracking device.

"He's looking for the kid huh?" Juumonji turned to Musashi and asked, his head jerking in the direction Hiruma left.

Musashi chuckled and nodded with his arms crossed.

"EH!" everyone remaining, besides Suzuna, shouted.

Somewhere on the site,

"Fu~ our rhythms are off, we'll never be able to synchronize" A man with red hair and red eyes, with sunglasses and a red guitar in a black leather jacket followed by a man obsessing with his hair in similar clothing and girl in a yellow blouse with green hair, stated.

"I suppose we can agree on that, Hayato Akaba, why would our managers ever… Kengo Mizumachi, what in the world are you doing?" a tall man with deep ocean blue eyes and black hair asked a tall wild blonde hair man. Mizumachi had stopped in the midst of walking with them.

"Shun, I found a cat! Can I keep it!" the tall blonde asked excitedly, turning to his friend.

"Sigh… no you may not, now let's go, the producers are waiting…" he looked tired, and sounded that way as well 'Really now, a cat… wait, why would a cat be on set of a…'

"Aw… but it's so cute, look at this face, can you say no to that" Mizumachi picked it up and held it out for them to see… Sena dangled from the tall blondes hand; he made a sound like a kicked puppy as tears ran down his face…

"Hm, I could have sworn it was a cat… so you're a puppy?" Mizumachi made a puckered face, that only made Sena blink.

"Mizumachi… put her down…"

"Huh, but"

"PUT HER DOWN!"

"Fine, fine… sheesh" Mizumachi set Sena down slowly.

"Are you okay miss, I'm sorry for my friends reckless behavior"

"…sniffles…" Sena just nodded.

"Hm, her rhythm seems off, are you by any chance lost?" Akaba asked.

Sena took in a gasp of air and nodded.

"Oh, poor thing, we'll escort you, we have time don't we?" the green hair girl spoke up.

"Actually…" before the tall brunette could finish his sentence Sena looked up at him with pleading hopeless tear-filled honey brown eyes that said 'please don't abandon me'

"I-I suppose we can…" the man gave in, who could not help a person that looked so helpless.

"Atta boy Mr. Kakei" the girl smiled "Hey there sweetie, what's your name?"

"Se-Sena" Sena squeaked, voice exactly like that of a little girl's.

"Oh and how old are you?"

"Nine-Nineteen"

"…" the group stared at Sena, causing him to panic.

"Are you sure you're not thirteen?" the man with the comb, which he used to point at Sena, asked.

Sena nodded rapidly, he wasn't even thinking of anything, he just wanted to find his group and go home soon, so he answered every question they asked.

"What are you doing here?" "Where is your group?" "Where are you from?" "Do you wear a kimono?" (Last one was asked by Mizumachi).

"I'm here with my group" "I don't know" "Japan" "Sometimes, but not always…"

"By the way, my name is Julie, and that's idiot number one Kotaro, and idiot number two Hayato"

"I'm Shun Kakei, and this is"

"Hiya I'm Kengo Mizumachi! How do you like America so far?"

"Um, well… it's dangerous here… but… there are people whom are very kind, and I'm glad I've met. Including everyone present" Sena finally smiled contently.

"…what a lovely melody"

"T-Thank-you" Sena blushed.

"Wa-wait, you understood him"

"Um, he said, I had a nice personality… I think"

"Fu~ correct" Akaba strum a chord.

"Ah, sometimes I say things like that, like if I'm panicking I say randomly say staccato, which is most of the time, it's so silly, I mean not that you're silly Hayato-san. I mean, I uh" (Staccato, I took music so long ago I think it's short and fast notes)

"Staccato" they all said in unison.

"Great harmony" Sena piped smiling brightly as he clapped.

"Ah…"they all sounded them turned to each other and smiled.

"Maybe we can cooperate… for the album" Julie stated.

"Yes, it seems possible" Kakei agreed.

"That's smart Sena" Kotaro whispered to Sena.

"What is?" Sena asked also in a hushed tone.

"You unified us" he stated "Thanks to you, our producers won't go bald"

"… Oh! From stress, hehehe I'm glad to be of service" Sena saluted them.

"Oh. So. Cute" Julie pinched Sena's cheeks.

"Hiii…" Sena whimpered as he rubbed his sore cheeks, that's when,

"Sena!"

"Ah, it's… Taki-san?" turned to meet with the blonde with no sense of direction.

"I have finally found you mademoiselle Sena, we're so worried sick, you can't run off and elope!"

"…" the quintet looked at Sena and blinked.

"Ex-excuse me?" Sena asked the delirious blonde…

"You can't not with Suzuna, you are both female!"

"…wow, so you have a girlfriend, Sena?" Julie asked patting Sena's head as though he were a child.

"N-No… I don't… but… I do have someone I like"

"Who?"

"Shi-Shi-Shin-san!"

"Shin… oh Seiko Shin, well she's an upcoming star, especially after having to struggle with the critics about her singing in a foreign language" Julie solemnly smiled.

"Ah, yes… I admire her greatly… for the last fifteen years of my life…" Sena smiled.

'Oh admiration… Wait a minute…' they all thought, except for the blondes.

"… Wait… fifteen years! That would mean…" Kotaro asked in awe and started to count.

"That would mean you knew her when you were four" Kakei stated.

"Uh-huh, she was my neighbor, but left when she was nine…"

"Ah, to be in love… with an older woman, good luck!" Mizumachi cheered.

"Thank-you! I'll need it… since I haven't seen her in fifteen years" Sena smiled.

"Eh!" Julie and Kotaro shouted.

"But, then?" Kakei asked.

"We kept in contact through telephones, postcards, and emails, but mostly postcards because she's horrible… and I mean horrible with technology"

"Really?" Julie asked.

"Yes, everything she touches, electronically, explodes" Sena laughed wearily.

"…" 'That's not I was asking but okay…'

"Oh, Mademoiselle Sena we should be on our way, Monsieur Hiruma would not be pleased that you were missing for so long…" Taki warned Sena.

'Actually you're the one who was lost… but I guess what he said is true' "Um, if you'll excuse me"

"Wait… don't tell me… you're working for …HIM…?" Julie asked with wide eyes.

"Ah, yes… I sign a contract… in hopes of seeing Shin-san I'll do anything" Sena nodded, but then started to sob… "Actually he tricked me… but I'll get to see her… so its okay, sobs…"

"Poor child!" Julie embraced Sena.

"May God be with you" Kakei stated.

"Ah, Agon-san where!" Sena shouted and duck "Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me"

"… " 'So she met Agon too… poor thing… no wonder she thinks America's dangerous…' they all thought, except for the blondes.

"May the God of the Sea be with you" Kakei rephrased his choice of word choice.

"O-Oh… wait a minute… I've heard that before… ah, you're of the Oceania Poseidon's right?"

"Ah, so you're heard of us even in Japan, Shun did you hear that we're famous!" Mizumachi grinned.

"Actually I have most of everyone's CDs, um you're the Bando Black Widows, right? Spider poison was the only album I purchased though, sorry…"

"Why?" Kotaro asked, he put his comb away.

"Um, because it's hard to find American CD's in-"

"No I mean, why do you purchase everyone's CDs?"

"Oh to compare" Sena stated.

"…?" they all looked confused.

"You know how fans always shout, that their favorite artist is the best" they nodded; most of their fans were like that.

"Well, I don't know if she's the best or not, so I have to listen to everything, then I could fairly say, she's one of the best… though I suppose she doesn't really care… but… I still love listening to her sing" Sena smiled embarrassed about admitting all these to people he just barely met.

"Oh, you're such a sweetie… good luck with the Devil" Julie stated as she pointed behind Sena.

"Huh?" Sena turned around and came face to face with sharp emerald green shards piercing into his golden brown orbs.

"Yoru…san… uh… you-you're the one who left me! S-so don't!" everyone at this point was amazed by her courage…

"Don't kill me!" Sena ducked and cowered.

"…" everyone blinked three times. Then Hiruma bent over and picked Sena up, threw him on his shoulders and walked off.

Again everyone blinked, except Taki who ran after them while spinning…

On a stage, Hiruma placed sunglasses on Sena's face… though Sena thought that would never work as a disguise then got lectured by Toganou that it works for Clark Kent, it'll work for him. Sena and everyone Sena had just met, and some other people, along with Hiruma sat on the seats right on stage. Sena didn't want to be on stage, but Hiruma promised to let him meet with Shin right after… their introduction…

But instead of watching the old man, the man in charge, speak of the dog eat dog lifestyle of the music industry, he let his eyes drift away into the crowd of people, 'Huh… what's that…?' Sena thought, he saw something bright reflecting off in the distance…

'Shi-Shin-san!' Sena spots the girl in white in the audience… but then there was a man that bumped into her…

"Shitsurei… (how rude)"

"Shut up fucking midget, and listen for your cue…" Hiruma grinned.

'M-my cue? What does he mean…' Sena wondered, but then turned his attention back to the audience… the man who bumped Shin was hiding behind a pillar… but Sena, could see something… it looked familiar, 'Ah right, Yoru has a bunch of those… it's a …!'

"GUN!" Sena shouted, people panicked and looked around into the crowd.

"Shit…" the man cussed, but he had a job to do, so he aimed… right at Hiruma's head.

BANG!

"… fucking… midget" Hiruma gasped for air…

"Yoru…" Sena touched his side… Sena had been shot…

"Sena!" Mamori shouted from the crowd, Sena looked over hazily from atop of Hiruma… his reflex had apparently kicked in and he pushed Hiruma out of the way without even thinking…

That's when he spots the man going for a hostage… not just anyone… Shin…

"TEME! (BASTARD!)" (wow Sena cursed…) It was a scene to behold… one minute Sena laid wounded atop of Hiruma… then next he ran off the stage at an amazing speed and leapt, flying, right at the man with the gun, before the man even know what hit him he was on the ground… though after experiencing pain!

Sena gave him a flying knee, Sena dropped to the ground on one knee, kicked the man's leg with a leg sweep causing the man to fall forward right into another knee, scoring a hit on his chin making him fall backwards, but oh no… Sena isn't done yet…Another heel kick across the right cheek and the man went flying to Sena's right…

Sakuraba, a blonde man who was standing right beside Shin just said "Wow" at the flying girl dressed in red, her haired flowed as she swiftly did away with the assassin…

"S-Shin-san!" Sena came over to Shin in a hurry.

"S-Sena…?"

"Y-you remember me… ah! Are you okay, did he hurt you anywhere?" Sena asked worriedly with tear –filled eyes.

'She really is only worried about Shin…' Julie thought, she was touched by Sena's kindness… as were everyone in the crowd and on stage.

"No, I'm fine… but you're bleeding…" the tall brunette pointed to Sena's side.

"…Huh… oh yeah, I was shot…" Sena laughed wearily as he touched his wound, then promptly fainted…

"Ah! Sena!" everyone who knew Sena shouted.

TBC…


Did Sena get hit in a vital area… will he be hospitalized for a long time? Will he live, after moving so much… and losing all that blood…?

KH: Ah, the Halloween OMAKE will be up soon~ And then Chapter 8~
