Hello GUISE! BabyCandy here!

Finally, I finished a new chapter.

Hope you guys like it.


Haruka's POV :

Today is finally the day of the showdown. I have practiced everyday with Senpai, so I should do fine.

" Haru-chan, ready to go? " Kotobuki-senpai asked me.

" Yup! " I replied.

" Let's go! " He said cheerfully.

The Senpais and I then walked to the car and we drove off to the location D:FI's concert was held. I was wearing a short dress that reached a little above my knees. I accompanied that with a pair of white heels. I did hair extensions to my hair so my hair is now at my waist level and I tied it up to a high pony tail. This was my outfit for my first section of the showdown. I brought another set of outfit for the second section of the showdown. Luckily, the location wasn't too far away and it only took us 20 minutes by car to reach. When I have reached the location, the concert was almost ending. The showdown will only take place after the concert, when D:FI have finished singing all of the songs and performing all of the segements. Hence, I walked to the waiting room to wait. When I walked into the waiting room with the Senpais, STARISH was already in there.

" Yo Nanami! " Syo-kun greeted me first.

" Hello Syo-kun. " I greeted back polietly.

" Looking pretty there, lady. " Jinguji-kun said and I thanked him.

While the guys and I was chatting, the door opened and a staff walked in.

" Nanami-san, 5 minutes till you step on the stage. " The staff said.

" I got it. " I replied as I stood up.

" Good luck Nanami-san, we will be watching from the audience seat. " Ichinose-san said and I nodded.

The guys begun to walk to their sit while I walked to the stage. Just then, my phone vibrated. I received a text message from Nagisa.

" Your best friend Shibuya Tomochika is with me now. If you do not wish for me to hurt her, you better forefit this showdown and never appear within my sight again. "

I dropped my phone, how could she do this. Tomo-chan was my best friend! Tears begun to stream down my cheeks. That's right! Call Tomo-chan to verify if this is real! I managed to dail her number and gave her a call. The third beep gone off and no one picked up the phone. Is Tomo-chan really caught by Nagisa? I was really worried. I didn't knew what to do. Should I ask the guys for help? Wait, no. They will overreact. What should I do!

" Nanami-san! On stage now! " The staff called.

I wiped away my tears and walked towards the stage. I will talk to Nagisa later.

STARISH/ Quartet Night's POV :

We are now currently seating on the audience seat, waiting for the showdown to begin.

" Thank you everyone for coming to our concert! " Nagisa said and the crowd screamed.

D:FI started to walk towards the backstage and Ringo-sensei appeared.

" Gonbanwa Minna-san! I am Tsukimiya Ringo! " She ( He ) said.

" KYAA! Ringo-chan KAWAII! " The crowd said.

" Minna, I know the concert is over but please don't leave yet! " Ringo-sensei said.

" Eh? " The audience said.

" Because today we have a special segement! Showdown between Nagisa and composer of STARISH! " Ringo-sensei said excitedly and the crowd went wild.

" Let's invite them on stage shall we! " She said and both Nagisa and Nanami walked onto the stage and the fans screamed.

" I bet you guys know Nagisa-chan very well but no one here know Haruka-chan right? Let's have her introduce herself. " Ringo-sensei said as she handed the mic to Nanami.

" Hello everyone. My name is Nanami Haruka. It's nice to meet you. For today, please take care of me. " She said as she bowed.

" KAWAII HARUKA-CHAN! " Some fans shouted.

" Thank you! " She smiled in return.

As expected of Nanami, gaining fans so soon.

" Let's not waste time and start the first section of the showdown! The first section is to sing and dance. The choice of song is up to one's decision. Let's give the girls 5 minutes to prepare and the showdown shall start shortly! " Ringo-sensei winked and the girls exited the stage.

Haruka's POV :

As soon as we left the stage, I grabbed hold of Nagisa's wrist.

" What's the meaning of your text message? Where is Tomo-chan! " I said.

" Just like what I have wrote in the text. Your bestfriend is with me now. " She replied.

" Why are you doing this! Why use such cowadly methods! " I yelled.

" Cowardly methods you say?! If you hadn't be so close to STARISH, I wouldn't have do this! So just forfit and leave the agency already! " She boomed and I stayed silence for awhile.

" If I leave, will you release Tomo-chan safe and sound? " I said, sobbing slightly.

" Of course. " She answered simply.

" Fine, If that's what you want. I will leave and lose this showdown. " I managed to say.

" Great, now excuse me. I need to go and get changed. " She said.

" But on one condition. " I said.

" What? " She asked.

" Let me finish this showdown. I need to convey something to the guys... for the last time. " I said.

" Sure I will accept that. Now excuse me. " She left.

I just stood there, crying.

" Sorry guys. " I whispered.

STARISH/ Quartet Night's POV :

We were sitting there, waiting or the showdown to start.

" Thank you for your patience everyone! Let's start with the showdown right away! " Ringo-sensei said.

" Let's first start of with Nagisa-chan! " Ringo-sensei said, walking away from the spotlight.

Nagisa sang and danced beautifully but she was no match for Nanami.

" Thank you Nagisa-chan! Now, Nanami-chan show her what you got! " Ringo-sensei said and Nanami appeared in the spotlight.

For some reason, she look kind of down.

" Music start! "

Nanami have finished singing and dancing, it was perfect. But yet, something was missing. It was her emotions and heart.

" Good job both of you! Both of you were spectacular. " Ringo-sensei said.

" Hai, the first section of the showdown is over. Now let's continue with the second part of the showdown! We will continue the showdown shortly in 10 minutes! " Ringo-sensei said.

Haruka's POV :

I exited the stage and procceded to my waiting room. I changed out of my blue dress and wore a sleeveless white dress that goes longer at the back and shorter at the front. I let my hair down and wore the same pai of heels I wore before. Then, I heard a knock at the door.

" Nanami is us, we are coming in. " It was the guys. They opened the door and came in.

" What's up guys? " I said, trying to be as cheerful as possible.

" Did something happen? " Camus-senpai asked.

" Nope nothing happened? What's with that so suddenly? " I smiled.

" No nothing. Probably my imagination. " He replied.

" I need to go. See you guys later. " I said.

" Why so early, there is still 5 minutes. " Syo-kun said.

" There is a place I need to go first. " I said and waved them goodbye.

I entered the broadcasting room and greeted the staff.

" Sorry to disturb you. I would like to change the song I am using for the second section of the showdown. " I said as I handed them the CD and he recieved it.

" Sure no problem! " He said and smiled.

" Thank you so much. " I said before leaving the room and heading to the stage.

STARISH/ Quartet Night's POV :

" Thank you for your patience once again Minna-san! " Ringo-sensai said.

" Now let's begin the second part of the showdown! First off we have Nagisa-chan! " She said and left the stage.

Nagisa entered and sang a rather fast-paced song. It was good. After Nagisa left the stage, Nanami entered and she looked beautiful.

The music started and it wasn't the melody of the song we practiced back at the dorms.

" This isn't the song we practiced. " Mikaze said.

" Yeah. Is this a mistake? " Ranmaru said.

" But that woman isn't panicking. " Camus said.

" Let's see what happens. " Kotobuki said and the rest nodded.

Vanessa Hudgens - Gotta Go My Own Way Lyrics ( I kind of changed the lyrics. ^^ )

STARISH, Senpai , listen

I gotta say what's on my mind

Something about us

Doesn't seem right these days

Life keeps getting in the way

Whenever we try, somehow the plan

Is always rearranged

It's so hard to say

But I've gotta do what's best for me

You'll be okay

I've go to move on and be who I am

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand

We might find a place in this world someday

But at least for now, I gotta go my own away

Don't wanna leave it all behind

But I get my hopes up

And I watch them fall every time

Another color turns to gray

And it's just too hard to watch it all

Slowly fade away

I'm leaving today

'Cause I gotta do what's best for me

You'll be okay

I've got to move on and be who I am

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand

We might find a place in this world someday

But at least for now, I gotta go my own away

What about us?

What about everything we've been through?

What about trust?

You know I never wanted to hurt you

And what about me?

What am I supposed to do?

I gotta leave but I'll miss you

So, I've got to move on and be who I am

(Why do you have to go?)

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand

(I'm trying to understand)

We might find a place in this world someday

But at least for now

(I want you to stay)

I wanna go my own way

I've got to move on and be who I am

(What about us?)

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand

(I'm trying to understand)

We might find a place in this world someday

But at least for now, I gotta go my own away

I gotta go my own way

I gotta go my own way

The song ended and I ran off the stage. STARISH and Senpai came and sang the last part with me. I think they got what I was trying to say. Now I have to leave. I ran out of the concert hall.
Now, this is really goodbye. I called for a taxi, just when I was about to enter, someone called for me.

" Nanami! " the voice called. It was the guys. I didn't want to look back. It will make me harder to leave.

" Are you really leaving? " The guys asked.

I didn't reply as I was crying.

" Turn and face us. "

I didn't turn as I didn't want them to see me in this state. But they turned me by force.

" Why are you crying? What happened? " Jinguji-kun asked me.

" Nothing. " I managed to choke out.

" Then why are you crying. " Kurosaki-senpai asked me.

" I-I am leaving. " I said.

" Why? The results are not out yet! " Ittoki-kun said.

" No matter what are the results I have to go. " I said, still crying.

" Why? " The guys asked.

" Gomen. I need to go now. " I said, entering the taxi.

" No, Nanami don't go! " Syo-kun said.

" We will see each other again. Promise. " I smiled and the taxi drove off.

This is the end guys. Till we see each other again.


Hope you guys like it.

See you in the next chapter! CIAO!
