Ichigo
"Ichigo, wake up." Someone was whispering in my ear.
"Aoi, I don't want too." I looked at her, but my eyes would not open all the way.
"Come on, we are going to be late for the plane!" What is she talking about, we were not getting on a plane, and still I should probably get up.
"I'm up!" I look around half asleep; I'm still looking for my Starlight uniform, in this unfamiliar room.
"Ichigo I have it right here!' Even though she looks different she still know exactly what I'm looking for, she turns around after handing me the clothing.
"The boots are down stairs, we will have to sneak past the parents' rooms, as well as the boys' rooms, but we should be able to make it." She grabs my hands and hands me a pink backpack and a pink bag and we sneak past a few doors and I am still lost but she knows what she is doing, I have no idea why we are sneaking out.
"Naoto-niisan!" Aoi spotted him before I did.
"Aoi, Ichigo, you should not be doing this, we just got Ichigo back, now your leaving to join AKB."
"It's just an audition! And you know both parents are okay with it being that we are related to famous Idols!"
"Aoi, they have never said that you could go what if something happened to you! And what do you think will happen to them they could be thrown in jail, and leave Raichi without parents or siblings! Do you realize what you're doing?!" He was talking in a really loud whisper. "And Ichigo, your going with her plans?!" All I can do is nod, I trust this Aoi.
He shakes his head and steps away from the door. I spot my boots, so I grab them and put them on as Aoi puts on her shoes as well.
"Come on Ran is waiting for us!" She takes off and I follow her, we run up behind a violet haired girl, tied in two long braids.
"Ran!" That girl turns around and she looks exactly like the Ran I knew but she has violet hair, I will not be able to get used to this.
"Aoi! Ichigo! We better get going or the plane will leave without us!" as we come along side her she grabs my hand and Aoi's and takes off running.
"Yea, we made it." The three of us were out of breath as we went to our, wait not seats cabins? This is not like any plane I know. (She does not realize she is now on a space ship.)
"Ichigo, Ran we are in the same room!" Aoi starts to giggle and it contagious. Ran gets stern looks on her face making the two of us laugh harder, Ran gave in and started laughing too.
"Well, we should probably get some sleep." Aoi is so smart, but I'm not sleepy I'm hungry; it must have shown on my face. "But we could get a snack before, but then you are going to rest Ichigo, also let's put our bags in our bunk." I nod my head, I love snacks, and I want a Strawberry Parfait! Ran just shakes her head, I still can't get used to the purple hair. We put the bags in the room and then I follow the other two to a large open space, lots of people.
"Whoa she's gorgeous!" I look in the direction that Ran was looking, and I recognized her, it was Mizuki-san with brunette hair!
"Mizuki-san!" I take off to go say hi; I hope the other two are following. She looks at me, she looks confused.
"Do I know you?" Oh this Mizuki doesn't recognize me, darn.
"Sorry for my sister, she can be a bit energetic." Aoi you didn't have to say that.
"So you two are sisters, I wish I had a sister." She looked very wishful. "So can I be so bold as to ask your names?"
"I'm Aoi, Suzukawa Aoi and this is Ichigo, my sister." I smile brightly at Mizuki.
"I'm Ran, Murasaki Ran. Um what Is your name?"
"The funny thing is your friend here seems to know my name. And seems to be on first name bases."
"I, you looked a lot like a Mizuki I know. Sorry." This is weird she is exactly like the Mizuki I know.
"Well in that case I'm Mizuki, Ryuu Mizuki." She smiles at us. A girl with orange hair that goes to her shoulders catches my attention; she's doing magic tricks, Kaede! I run to her, Ran and Aoi at my heels, when I look behind me Mizuki is also following.
"Hello!" This has to be Kaede! "I'm Kaede, Momiji Kaede, you don't have to stare at me so hard!" Oh I was staring? She giggles
"Sorry about Ichigo, your only the second person she has done this to tonight." Is Ran embarrassed? She pointed to the brunette Mizuki.
"No problem!"
"You really should be careful where you do your magic tricks?" Mizuki looks so graceful as she flicks her hair behind her. Okay this is getting weird because I think I just spotted Sakura with lime green hair and pink eyes, I go to investigate. This time I have four girls following me, but Ran and Aoi no longer run after me. I see the girl that I spotted on the floor in a busy place. I grab a hold of her hand and pull her up and out of the way into a less busy place.
"Thank you.."
"Ichigo!" The girl looks shyly at me.
"Thank you Ichigo-sama!" She calls me the exact same this as my Sakura! "Oh I'm being rude I'm Sakura, Amarante Sakura"
"Wow Ichigo you are making friends both left and right!" Aoi shakes her head, she is smiling.
"This light is too bright!" We all turn to see a pigtailed green haired girl a black umbrella over her head, the exact umbrella Yurika-san owned! She even looked like Yurika, I bet you that is her name.
"Yurika-san, you should probably go back to your coffin to regenerate your dark powers!" She turned to me.
"Who are you and how do you know my name?!" Oops
"A lucky guess?" She looked peeved at me.
"Well the great Yurika-sama would also like to know who did you know I was a vampire." I pointed to her umbrella.
"I heard stories of the great Yurika-sama that was in a group one summer called Star Anis, She was also part of Tristar!" Ichigo smiled.
"So you have heard of me then?"I nod knowing that this is not the Yurika from where I'm from but this one is just a cool!
"So do you still go by Toudou?" Yurika rolls her eyes
"No that name became old long ago I know go by Tsuki Yurika." I nod my head.
"I have family history with Star Anis, my great great many great grandmother was both part of Tristar and well as Star Anis, in fact I was named after her!" Kaede looked ecstatic. Everyone else coming to similar conclusions.
"The three of us we are related to the famous Soeil, we are also named after them!"
"If so we are missing one?" I look around at these new versions of my friend, wait I am in the future! Way cool, but we are missing Otome. The give me confused looks not really understanding what I said.
"What about Otome!" The plane starts to rumble and shake and an alarm goes off.
"A DES attack!" We all run for the nearest bunk which happened to me mine with Ran and Aoi. Fitting seven girls in one bunk only meant for four was going to be torturous. I don't know what DES is but the fact that it was an attack scared me.
"This ship is now under the control of DES, we received reports of seven girls bound for the AKB0048 auditions, if anyone has information concerning this please talk to one of us, if not just be as giving as you can. As for you girls if you turn your selves over, no harm will come to you." We hear over the com, we need to get out! I don't like this, Sakura is crying, Mizuki and Ran are both stoic Kaede is looking around very nervously Aoi and Yurika are looking around with a calculating eye. I know realize that we are all headed in the same place.
"This way!" Aoi always knows what do; I help Sakura and follow Aoi as we head in a direction we all follow. Aoi ducks behind some large metal containers with everyone at her heels.
"They're going to find us!" Sakura is really panicking
"Shh!" Aoi puts her finger to her lips as we head to another hiding spot. But the big guys found us so the group splits into two and we dart in different directions. Sakura trips and falls.
"I'm sorry, just leave me behind!"
"I am not doing that!" I help her back up and we start to run as their guns start to go off, I am really scared, but I have to be strong for Sakura's sake, even Yurika is staring to crack, I still don't know how she still has her umbrella in her hands.
We finaly make our way to a room where the ship's crew has brought a lot of people to try to protect them thinking that we lost our tails, but they came up behind us Sakura screamed and Yurika whimpered, I started to cry as I pushed the girls farther into the room. We heard music coming through the speakers, not anything I recognized, but it seemed to calm both Sakura and Yurika.
"AKB0048!" They both squealed.
"They've taken over the ships intercom again!" One of the mean machine men said. A bright light shown in through the large window behind us is causing us to turn around. There was a big ship outside the windows lights coming off of it and wait we are in outer space! I can't believe this!
All the sudden there were girls on these floating platforms all around, they where gorgeous!
"Acchan! Takamina! Yuuko!" Both Sakura and Yurika became very excited.
"You must be the new audtionees! Find somewhere safe, we'll take care of this!" The sandy blonde one said.
"Yes Yuuko!" Sakura took my hand and Yurika's hand and dragged us from the room, but we didn't get to far because there was more DES weirdoes so we had to back track towards the room. As we came back in the room a long pink haired girl zooms to the DES behind us.
"Heart Attack!" Her pink stick with a heart on it shocks the guy behind us. "Nyan-Nyan the 8th at your service!" She winked at us while holding out her pointer and middle finger over her eye. Several girls are fighting the DES men and singing at the same time this is awesome if a little scary.
"Come on we need to get you out of here, you girls are auditionees correct?" A girl with blonde pigtails high on her head followed by another pink haired girl with a cute headband and a red headed girl came up alongside us as we nodded. The blonde grabbed my hand and pulled me onto her floating platform as the pink one grabbed Sakura and the red one grabbed Yurika.
"Hold on, we'll take you to the air lock!"
"Okay!" We all said still very shocked.
When we made it to what the blonde called an airlock then let us off and I spotted Aoi, Ran, Mitsuki, and Kaede and we ran up to them and I gave them all a big hug I even brought Sakura and Yurika into the hug.
"Well it's not time for celebrating yet! Mayuyu, that suit is unmanned!" We turn to see the girl with blue high pigtails extend her arms towards some DES weirdos and the strangest thing happened, her arm opened up and a gun came out of it and she took the edge of her skirt and feed it into the gun.
"Ichigo! Let's go!" I turn and enter the shuttle? With the rest of the girls.
