Ambitions – Song Lyrics
This is important. I just realized I only have five weeks until school starts, and I still have three books to read, an SAT test to study for, three packets of 4-page worksheets to finish, AP Bio work to finish, work to do for other stuff, and a whole mess of other things. I'm sorry for all those that really like this story, no don't worry I'm going to stop writing it, I'm afraid I might have to lengthen the time in between chapters. It might be from 2 to 3 weeks in between each chapter. I am very sorry about this, but becoming a Senior in High School is stressing me out a lot to where I can't even think of some of my fanfiction without worrying about school work. Again, sorry that I'll have to lengthen the time in between when I post. I think I'll do what SkyGem is doing on her profile page and post little journals on my profile once I get rid of all the profile stuff on my page. Please enjoy the chapter and wish me luck with all my work heehee~
Beat 10: Secret Ambitions
"Come on Ochibi! You have to come to the concert!" Kikumaru yelled at the young prodigy at the end of school while they were in the changing room.
"I am telling you, me and the others have someplace to be!" Ryoma said back not wanting to yell. 'Why me?' he thought to himself as he continued changing.
"We already bought the tickets for every single one of us including the other five that hang out with you," Momo replied back hoping to convince Ryoma to go.
'Why me?' Ryoma again thought to himself. "Fine, we'll go with you," he replied causing Kikumaru and Momo to cheer and get him into a bear hug.
"What?" the five hosts yelled at Ryoma once they realized what he promised. "You have to be kidding! How are we going to actually work with them following us then?"
"We sneak backstage," Ryoma replied calmly even though the others were in his face.
"You better make sure of that," Yuki growled. "If we can't work, Crash is going to have our heads," she said trembling at the thought.
Everyone shivered at the thought of an evil Crash just looming over them.
"Well we have to go anyway. The concert is tonight, so let's get moving," Skyway commented going up to his room to prepare. The others nodded in reply and went up to their own rooms to get prepared for the night as well.
"Okay, we're here," Tenshi said in her casual clothes along with the others.
"Ochibi!" a person yelled before Ryoma was tackled to the ground. The others look to see that it was none other than Kikumaru.
"Come on!" Momo yelled running up to the group and pulling them by the hands, "Let's go inside already!"
"Oh no," the five muttered under their breaths to avoid anyone hearing them. "Not good at all."
"Come on already you five! Sit down!" Momo yelled pulling them inside with Kikumaru's help.
On another row of seats by the door, a group of four looked toward the door and saw the regulars pulling the group of six into the concert arena. They all sighed before muttering in unison, "Seriously? Not again with this." The four stood up and walked over to the group before yelling out, "Hey you guys! Been a long time hasn't it?"
The entire group of regulars and hosts all looked toward the source of the voice and saw four people walking over to them. There were two males, one boy and a man, and two girls.
"It's been a while hasn't it Yuki?" one of the girls said. She had purple hair down to her waist that had light pink highlights on the ends. She had silver eyes and was wearing a blue cheongsam that went to her knees. She had a golden ribbon choker on her neck and blue slippers on her feet. She had her arms out for a hug which allowed the group to see the dragon and phoenix bracelets she wore on her wrists.
"It has Crystal-chan," Yuki said running up to the girl and hugging her.
"Same as always huh Tenshi?" the other girl said putting a hand on her hip with the other one reaching over to shake Tenshi's hand. This girl also had white hair except it had silver highlights and was down to her knees. She had golden eyes just like Ryoma's that were also cat-like. She was wearing a light blue tank top along with white shorts and white sneakers. She had a small bag on her side along with a red rose in her hair tucked behind her ear.
"Uh huh Rose. Nice to see you onee-chan," Tenshi said walking up to the girl.
"She's your sister?" the group yelled causing Rose and Tenshi to laugh along with the other two boys.
"They aren't actual sisters. They are more like adoptive sisters. They each adopted the other as a sister when they first met," the first boy said with a chuckle. "My name is Timmy by the way. I'm like the older brother to Crystal and Rose as well as Tenshi occasionally when she isn't playing pranks on me along with the other girls." He had brown hair that went down to his shoulder along with light brown eyes. He was wearing a maroon-colored polo shirt along with dark red dress pants and slip on-shoes. He had a hand behind his head as he laughed and showed the shark tooth necklace he had along with the two black bracelets on his wrists.
"And I'm Crash," the last male said. The group of six recognized him from work. "I'm these kids' boss at work," he said motioning over to Ryoma and his group of five. "Nice to see you kids again and may I know your names?" he asked the regulars while moving over to draw their attention to the side.
While the Seigaku regulars were introducing themselves, Rose, Crystal, and Timmy each dragged Ryoma and the others to the backstage door.
"Thanks a bunch you three," Tenshi sighed in relief once they made it backstage.
"This always happens to you somehow!" Crystal yelled playfully punching Yuki on the arm. "How does it always happen? I remember last time we had to sneak you in here. The fans were chasing you all over the place, and we had to give out signatures just to make them stop."
"Well what can we say?" Ryoma asked turning around to go to the changing room. "We are good after all."
The three helpers smirked before laughing and yelling out, "We'll see you guys later. Do a good job out there and rock it."
"Will do!" Tenshi yelled back waving to the group before heading off to the changing rooms with the others. 'Let the show begin,' they all thought unanimously as they went to change.
"Where'd Ochibi go?" Kikumaru asked as soon as he looked around. They had just finished introducing themselves to Crash when he noticed that Ryoma and the others were gone.
"Oh they probably just went up to the front seats," Crash said scratching the back of his head. 'Thank god some fans are actually helpful,' he thought to himself thinking back to Crystal, Rose, and Timmy. The three kids were always helpful in getting the group backstage when something like this happened.
"Let's go then!" Momo yelled dragging everyone to the front.
"Wait a minute!" Oishi yelled trying not to trip. "Shouldn't we wait for the others?"
"They probably already got seated Oishi-san," Fuji commented smiling at the boy causing Oishi to shiver before letting go of the subject. "Let's just sit down then."
Once everyone was seated, they saw Crystal, Rose, and Timmy in their own seats talking to one another, but they didn't see Ryoma or the others in sight.
"Where are Ryoma and the others?" Kawamura asked looking around.
Crystal, Rose, Timmy, and Crash smirked before smiling and saying, "Just sit back and watch the show. The band is really popular, and you might even get a surprise."
As soon as the regulars had themselves seated, an announcer was up on the stage. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the concert of the month! Today, we have one very special group with us today. Clap your hands for Secret Ambitions!" he yelled into the microphone getting a cheer out of everyone there. "Their first song today is Save the One Save the All! Give it up! For Secret Ambitions!" he yelled walking off the stage.
The lights turned off a second as the music started playing. The crowd started cheering as the first lines of the song played out.
ichizu nara kono yo no hate demo
mamoru omoi wa hitori ja nai
The song lyrics paused as a light suddenly turned on revealing the drum player and guitarist.
"You have to be kidding!" Momo and Kikumaru yelled as the recognized the two males on stage causing Timmy and Crash to smirk at them.
Spade was on the drum set wearing a black tank top that showed his entire back showing the markings. He was wearing dark blue skinny jeans that hugged his legs like a second skin as well as black boots. He had on black fingerless gloves along with a black necklace hanging around his neck along with a silver chain from his belt.
On the guitar was Skyway who was wearing a ripped silver dress shirt to show the music notes on his back, and his hair was fixed up with gel to show the writing on the back of his neck. He wore this along with ripped blue jeans. He had on silver Nikes along with a silver bracelet on one wrist. On the other wrist was a bandana.
hazushita taga wo kakechigaete tagitta honki yakeru shin ga
zenryoku no hou ga kuse ni naru
geeji wo raku ni furikitte
"No way," Oishi and Kawamura muttered under their breath which made Crystal and Rose giggle at their faces.
The two girls on stage were back-to-back with the pianos in front of them. The girl on the stage's left was Estrella who was wearing a long-sleeve tight blue shirt that had a low 'v' showing only some cleavage to the crowd. It was able to show the word on her chest along with the notes on her wrists. She was wearing a white skirt over light blue tights that hugged her legs that led to her dark blue slippers.
The other girl was Yuki who wore a pure white midriff halter top that showed the word 'Secret' on her stomach. She was also wearing peach white mini-shorts that showed the notes on her knees. Underneath the notes wore a pair of knee-high silver boots with small heels on the back. She was wearing a pair of snowflake earrings.
jidai ni netsusserareteku kaze wo dokomade oikakerareru?
The final two lights appeared showing the last two members of the band.
The sight caused the rest of the regulars to gape which made the four helpers laugh at them all before saying, "Told you that you would be surprised!"
Tenshi was on the stage next to the singer of the song. She was wearing a tube top that was a darker tone than her skin color to stand out. It was able to show the two notes on her hips, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail that was held to the side by a hairpin to reveal her 'Secret' marking. She had on a blue plaited mini-skirt that reached her knees along with a pair of light blue high-heeled sandals.
Ryoma had his hand pointed at the crowd with the other hand holding the microphone. He was wearing a dark maroon red tank top that showed his shoulders and showed some of his chest, thanks to the neckline being a little lower than usual, to show the markings on him. He was wearing tight-fitting dark green jeans leading to black dance shoes on his feet.
ichizu nara kono chi no hate made asu dake ga yume wo hashiraseru
mukau senaka ni kotoba nado nakute mo
mamoru omoi wa hitori ja nai ima nara
hokyuu kikanai tamashii ni mezashita saki de kowareru nara obieru jibun wo mi mosezu ni doushite tooku e ikeru?
tsumi mo itami mo buchikonda
sono hahen demo nokoshitai
ichiru demo nozomi wo moyashite kyou dake no yume de owarasenai
nobasu ryoute wa hikari wo atsumeteku
mamoru kizuna ga hitotsu ja nai ima koso
uchitsuzukeru kodou ga shakunetsu no kusari nara
tada setsuna ni tsunagareta inochi dake wo shinjiau
The music was slower as Ryoma stopped moving so fast and slowly moved along with Tenshi. The expressions on the two's faces were more serious than before which appealed to the audience. The slower movements seemed to convey more emotion before the beat of the song went back up to a fast-paced rhythm.
ichizu nara kono chi no hate made ichiru demo nozomi wo moyashite kyou dake no yume de owarasenai
mukau senaka ni kotoba nado nakute mo
nobasu ryoute wa hikari wo atsumeteku
mamoru kizuna ga hitotsu ja nai
ima koso!
The music stopped immediately causing the crowd to cheer for the band. "Thank you everybody!" Ryoma yelled in the microphone in his hand with a large smile on his face.
Tenshi gently gripped the microphone attached to an ear piece she was wearing and yelled, "Do ya guys wanna hear more!"
The crowd cheered making the band smile before they all smirked, and Tenshi yelled, "I can't hear ya! Let me hear ya yell! Let me hear ya scream! Let us hear it loud!" This got the crowd cheering even louder getting a happy smile onto the girl's face.
Ryoma smirked at the crowd before he yelled out, "Our next song is Hitomi no Tsubasa! Give it up everybody!"
The crowd cheered as the song started along with the band. As soon as the beat started Ryoma and Tenshi were already moving to the beat along with the other four. Ryoma lifted his microphone to his face for the song lyrics.
itamu basho wa dare ni mo iwanai
isogu kokoro ga kakushita yume wo
kowaresouna hitomi de mitsumeru
Ryoma and Tenshi had their heads down as the instrumental part started before their heads shot up for the next part.
Osaekirenai CHIKARA dake
Hanasazu ni tobitatsu
Meguri ai ga ugokidasu
Unmei wo hayamete
The crowd cheered as they watched Ryoma and Tenshi move to the beat of the song.
"Wow," was the only thing Kikumaru could say as he watched Ryoma on the stage.
"Ii data," Inui said writing information in his notebook again.
"So that's what with the markings and their jobs," Fuji said putting a hand to his chin in thought with a sweet smile on his face.
Tezuka stayed stoic as ever, but if you looked close enough, you could see the small bit of shock in his eyes.
Oishi, Kawamura, Momo, Kaidoh, and Kikumaru were all gaping at the band still in shock at finding out Ryoma and the rest were in a band.
Jibun wo dakishimeteru ryoute wo
Kimi no tame ni hodoite miru kedo
Todokanai sabishisa ga aru dake
Ryoma took Tenshi's hand and danced around the stage with her. They moved together perfectly as if they were on a dance show.
Kazoekirenai negai nara
Azayaka ni hikiyose
Kanau you ni furesugita
Setsunasa ga kienai
Ryoma had dipped Tenshi on the last word in that stanza before pulling her up and moving to the instrumental music. They danced like that together until they pulled apart and started moving to the fast-paced music once more.
Osaekirenai CHIKARA dake
Hanasazu ni tobitatsu
Meguri ai ga ugokidasu
Unmei wo hayamete
Semete kimi ga kakenukeru
Isshun wo oshiete
Ryoma had one hand over his face as the last word drawled on for a bit before pulling it away a bit to show his eyes. The eyes looked fierce which caused the female fans in the crowd to go crazy. The male fans went crazy for Tenshi who had her arms crossed over her body. Her right arm was crossed over to reach her left hip while her left arm was bent to reach over her chest to stay on her right shoulder. Her head was tilted to the side, and she had a smirking serious look on her face.
'Holy cow that's hot,' one person thought looking at Ryoma. He smiled even wider when Ryoma got out of his position and yelled, "Thank you everybody! We hope to see you again at the club everybody!" before the entire band threw a small smoke bomb at the stage and disappeared.
Someone touched Fuji's shoulder which made him turn to see Crash looking at him and the other regulars. "Come on you eight," the boss said, "Let's get you backstage along with Crystal, Rose, and Timmy."
