AN: Alright if you look up the dance battle from Chipwreck and then any other dance battle movie you will know where I was trying to go with this.
The two dancers battled against each other to the song "We No Speak Americano/Conga". Hips swayed, hair was whipped around, and attitude radiated off them. Everyone watched the two dancers and even a few placed bets on who will win.
Ren and his friends were able to push through the crowd till they were up front next to Reiji, Ranmaru, Syo, and Natsuki. " Damn it, too late now," Ren said when he saw the two girls in their fierce battle.
Ranmaru look at his junior, " Oi what's going on? Who is she ?" he demanded while pointing to the blonde girl on stage. The personality that girl showed didn't sit well with him and he felt protective of Mai right now. Ren seemed tenser than usually and it raised his suspicion that his junior knows something, "Start talking."
"Ran-chan what makes you think I have all the answers-," he was cut off when the tsundere character grabbed the front of his shirt and yanked him closer.
"Kurosaki that's enough," they looked over and saw Camus and Ai standing there with un-amused looks on their faces.
"If you want positive results you have to try using a different method," Ai said and Ranmaru let out a sigh before releasing Ren.
"Jinguji what did you do to make Kurosaki-senpai mad this time," Masato said as he and Tokiya approached their large group of friends.
"Well looks like the gangs all here," Reiji tried to lighten the mood then one by one everyone looked at the strawberry blond waiting for him to explain this situation.
"Hey, I did nothing wrong. Mai and I only talked about this girl only one time so here's what I know..." Ren of what Mai has told him after the dance competition.
Quartet Night was a bit surprised that they didn't know their lover as well as they thought they did. "Why didn't she tell any of us about this earlier...?" Ai asked softly.
"Saymi probably wanted to put the past behind her. I would have done the same thing if I met a jerk like that," Syo jerked his thumb over to the blonde girl that was 1,2 stepping.
~With Mai~
Our heroine was starting to feel exhausted because she has been dancing ever since she found this dancing boxing ring of torture, but she still loved it. What she didn't love about it was that she couldn't simply walk away from Leiko's challenge. Mai wanted to crush her opponent face to face but her energy was draining fast and she needed to rehydrate. She didn't even notice that Leiko stuck out her foot while Mai was in mid-spin, however, a certain glasses wearing blonde noticed.
"Mai look out!" She heard Natsuki yell but it was too late. She tripped and skidded along the mat till she reached the edge of the ring in front of her friends.
"Oooo..." everyone that saw slightly cringed and murmurs were heard around the room. Her friends gathered around the at the edge of the ring, trying to see in she was okay.
"Saymi say something!" Otyoya exclaimed.
The injured dancer grabbed onto the rope and pulled herself up," T-That..." Once she was on her feet, she winced and looked down at the freshly made red mark that covered her tanned thigh, "That bitch!" Mai clenched her fist and turned to see her opponent staring at her with a smug look on her face.
"My I didn't know someone as clumsy as you was able to get this far in the dancing business," she let out an evil giggle. "You should have quit while you were ahead."
Mai let her anger get the best of her, "I can say the same thing for you!" She took a deep breath, "If you think I'm out then you got another thing coming!" The music change to something that had some edge to it then she began to move with the music and got into it. She swished her hair and squared her eyes at the blonde. She sashayed over to her and in 8 seconds she did a sweep kick, knocking her opponent onto her back. "Oh clumsy me..." a smirk graced her lips and she kneeled in front of her, "The next time you pull a dirty trick like that again, I'll tap dance on your face after ripping off your silicone boobs." The smile she gave to Leiko was everything but friendly. Once she got back on her feet she looked over at the crowd, "Well that was exciting wasn't it everyone!"
Everyone cheered in response and the announcer stepped up and stood next to Mai, "Who do you think won that battle, guys ?"
Mai glowed with pride when she heard the loving audience chant her name, 'Best party ever!' She pumped her fist in the air in victory, "Wooooo!" After she left the ring, she met up with the group she came in with.
"About time you finally got out," Ranmaru said and tossed her small jacket back to her.
Mai was still on her victory high, "I did it! I finally did it!" She grabbed his face and kissed him hard then quickly pulls away. Next, she gave the same treatment to Reiji, Ai, and Camus, but what really caught every off guard was not her sudden public display of affection. It was when she passed on her kisses to two others outside of the relationship, Ren and Natsuki. Even though theirs were on the corner of their mouths it still left them blushing.
"Mai!" Quartet Night yelled, bringing the hyped dancer back into reality.
"Huh?" She looked around and realized what she did, "Oh... I am so sorry!" she lets out a nervous chuckle and rubs the back of her neck. Victory really has gone to her brain because she gave a kiss to her old dance partner and to the man that almost killed her with food. "I'm going to go drink now..." she made her way to the bar.
"Hey don't just walk away from this like it's nothing!" Ranmaru followed behind her.
"Mai you forgot your skirt!" Reiji followed behind the rocker as he held up her rip-away skirt.
"Consider yourselves lucky peasants," Camus turned to follow his band mates. He knows Mai doesn't just kiss just anyone for no reason so somewhere in her subconscious, she wanted to kiss them. He wants to find out why since it is their business to know who will be added to this freakish relationship of theirs.
Ai just stood there for a moment in silence then calmly followed the older members.
Ren and Natsuki stood they're stunned from what just transpired. Both of them thinking the same thing, "What the hell just happened?"
"I think you guys were just chosen," Cecil said bringing them back to the present.
"W-What do you mean Cecil-kun?" Haruka asked she was still shocked that her friend kissed so many guys in under 20 seconds.
"Camus-senpai said 'Consider yourselves lucky' " the foreigner explained further, "So that either means be glad this is just an accident and no one gets beat up or you have been chosen to be a part of their love circle."
" Mai is in a love circle with Quartet Night ?!" Haruka exclaimed and a few party goers that were within earshot looked at the group. Everyone silently cursed when they remembered that the polygamous relationship was supposed to be kept a secret from her.
"Um... Yeah, Saymi-san is in love with the new song Circle by Quartet Night !" Otoya said out loud and the party people shrugged and went back to their conversation.
"Nanami, Sayami didn't want you to find out or have anyone else know," Syo explained.
"W-why? She doesn't trust me?" The composer was so confused because she never knew such a relationship existed and she wouldn't have thought that the dancer was in that kind of relationship with people she works with.
"It's not that she doesn't trust you. She probably wanted to tell you but she didn't know how you would react or she didn't want to ruin your image of her," Tokiya said calmly.
"She doesn't want anyone outside of the Master Course to find out because people will be quick to judge her and careers will be ruined," Ren said.
"Judge her?" Tomochika tilted her head in confusion then chuckles, "I congratulate her! This is like the dream ending to an anime! Why be forced to choose one favorite ice cream when she can have all 31 flavors." Everyone but the composer stared at her with slackened faces.
"I don't think it works exactly like that," Syo said.
~With the love flock~
Mai was sitting on a barstool sipping her Sarsaparilla as her boyfriends interrogated her. "Guys I didn't mean to I just got too excited and they were next to you," she told them.
" Honey we are not mad we just want to know what's going on with you," Reiji placed his head on top of her and wraps his arms around her. "You were ours first so we deserve to know who else snuck their way into your heart." He looks over at his other band mates, "Right my loves?"
"Don't ever call us that again,"Ranmaru said from his barstool.
"Just because we share the same girl doesn't mean you're our boyfriend," Ai said with his hands in his pockets.
"Two years ago that night says otherwise," The four blushed and looked away.
"It was sex education for Mikaze!" Camus was on the defensive side.
"Come on you have to admit you guys feel some spark between the five of us," Reiji his smirk in Mai's hair.
"You're really trying to make Quartet Night one big orgy aren't you," Mai questioned him. He was always touchy freely with them but she just assumed he was joking.
"Yes, I am!" Reiji admitted happily, "You know the saying the more the merrier."
"That doesn't apply to this! This is our love life. A bond that can be shattered if we let the wrong people into our hearts." Everyone staredRockstarwith shocked faces because they never saw him this emotional before.
"Ran... Are you worried that if we do let someone new in then we might split up?" She knew he wasn't a big fan of females because of the idea of having another band be split up because of them. So perhaps that still applied to this relationship as well. Ranmaru stayed silent, confining her suspicion. She gave a small smile and reached over placing her hand over his, " I'll control myself then. Even though I grew fond of Ren and find Natsuki so cute that I would eat his cooking for him, I will put your guys' happiness first..."
"Really...?" They all asked her and she nods her head.
"Of course. I love you guys so much," she pulled them all in for a group hug. The guys looked at each other and came to an agreement. They need to have a group meeting about this.
~With STARISH~
Otoya, Tokiya, Tomochika and Haruka were but the snack table eating finger foods. Ren and Natsuki went off to look for Quartet Night and Mai. Finally, Cecil wanted to have a small meeting with Syo and Masato.
"You know if those two did like Saymi in return then that will be two fewer people to compete for Haruka's affections," the prince said. The other two thought about it for a moment. To Syo he wouldn't have to worry about his best friend bursting in on his moments with the composer because he will be busy putting his energy into the dancer. To Masato, he wouldn't have worry about his family competitor winning the girl of his dreams.
"So if we helped Ren and Natsuki get accepted into the love circle... That's two fewer people in the contest," Syo said.
"What about Ittoki and Ichinose?" He asked and Cecil nodded his head to the snack table. They looked over and saw the redhead trying to feed a cookie with sprinkles on it to his roommate.
"I think they're going to be just fine on their own," the prince said and the trio smiled the two from a distance.
~With the antagonist of this fanfic ~
"Wow I must say we are really disappointed in you Leiko," Eiichi said casually. He practically set her up for failure when he had her challenge Mai and win at any cost. "Tripping another dancer in front of everyone and once again coming in second place, you're embarrassing Raging Entertainment."
"This shouldn't count as a real lost! It was not even a real contest." Leiko argued.
"For her. If you didn't cheat she still would have beaten your butt," Nagi said as he ate his cupcake, "It was very dishonorable of you, right Kira?"
The boy with black hair nodded his head, "Dishonorable."
"My father just responded to the video I sent him and I'm sad to say that we have to let you go," There was no sympathy in the group leader's voice.
Her blue eyes widen, "W-what?! You can't do this to me!" She was creating a scene.
"We just did, I suggest you call a cab and go pack your things, " He put his hand in his pockets and the group walked away.
"Finally! We got rid of her," Nagi exclaimed.
"Now we just need a temporary substitute," the gave a small chuckle, "And I know just the dancer."
(( Would you believe me if I told you I thought strawberry blonde was a shade of light red hair and not orange. I think it's an innocent mistake on my part since looking at all the pictures of actually strawberry blondes they look like they have orange hair XD ))
