I didn't want to talk about this. "That pizza was really good! Did you get it from that place around the corner?" I tried changing the subject and I nervously looked at him again. He had on a serious face. I hadn't seen him so serious before, normally he is so playful.
"Please don't change the subject Kagome." He said. I couldn't read what his expression meant again, It confused me,. "What I was going to say is please forget about it." I was kinda shocked and felt a pang of sadness when he said that, especially with such a big smile compared to how he spoke to me last time. It confused me. "Please forget that embarrassing stuff I told you. It was wrong of me to blame you for stuff I haven't dealt with. I can try being friends with you and being there for you but I'm not sure if I'll be a good one." His voice was steady, cool and collected.
"Okay…" I said quietly, "It's forgotten." I was happy to hear him say that… but only to some extent.. After he left that night I couldn't help feeling an emotion of overwhelming sadness though. I didn't know what was wrong with me. This is what I wanted after all.
The day had finally come. It was my first live event. I would be singing one solo song as an opening for GyaruCODE's concert. They were still on tour and had made their way back back here to Tokyo. I've met Kagura-san of CG before but I haven't met any of the other five members. GyaruCODE was a very popular idol group. As idols they were always very, very pretty and worked very hard as a group. They were successful, very successful. They last single release reached up to over 500,000 sales. Their newest song was called 'Girl's Counter Attack.' It was about a girl learning the importance of herself and her self confidence. When I heard this song it actually inspired me to do well. I hope that one day I can become as popular as them.
I was walking backstage in my white dress and was nervous to go on. The staff-san said I should go introduce myself to CG since this would be my only chance until they are done touring. I nervously made my way to their green room and knocked on the door. A voice told me to come in so I slowly opened the door and stepped inside. And there they were, all the GyaruCODE members.
I bowed and did my normal introduction. "Hello, I'm Kagome Higurashi, the newbie of SingUnLIMITED Company." I bowed to them again, I was nervous. "I will be your opening act for today, that you for working with me and I can't wait to work with all of you today." I smiled and was greeted by each of their smiles. They all had different make-up artist so they couldn't get up to greet me properly. Since Kagura-san already met me she just gave me a simple hello.
Then the rest of the members introduced themselves to me. There was Sango-san, A nineteen year old with short black hair that to her hips with chocolate eyes. There was Kikyou-san, a twenty year old with long black hair that went to her hips and eyes just a few shades darker than mine. There was Eri-san, a seventeen year old with straight black hair that went to her shoulders and chocolate colored eyes, Ayumi-san, a sixteen year old with dense curly brown hair and black eyes. And then there was Yuka-san, the youngest member of this company at fifteen years old. She had like brown hair the hung down just past her ears and black eyes.
They were all dressed in a similar outfit. I white dress shirt tucked into a short pencil skirt that varied depending on their member colors. They all looked amazing, like true idols. Each member gave me different words of encouragement on my first performance. Yuka-san gave me words of encouragement that really helped more than anything else. She told me that if this was something I wanted then all those emotions I feel about my job need to be shown on stage. A staff-san came into the green room and informed me that I was due on in a few minutes so I went to the stage side.
It was a rather large crowd of twenty-thousand people. It was a sold out show I was so nervous. I could see the stage and how huge it was. There was a white X marked on the ground for me to stand during my performance. I was handed a microphone and they set up my earpiece so I can hear my song to since along with. The lights went dim and the crowd was screaming and cheering. The staff-san near me instructed me to go on stage and just as I stepped off I heard the slow melody of my song start to play. A spotlight followed me to the marked spot on the stage and everyone was cheering.
It was finally my time to shine. Everything I had practiced so hard for was all for this first moment. My voice came out strong and even. I hit every note perfectly and the crowd clapped along to the beat of my song. As the song was ending I got to the build up of it. The high note was coming and once I got to it, my voice came out perfectly. The crowd erupted in cheers and screaming. I couldn't help but smile as I finished and the slow piano finished it tune my song was over.
Everyone was clapping for me. I held the microphone up to my face and introduced myself. "Hello everyone! My name is Kagome Higurashi, the newest soloist for SingUnLIMITED Company, yoroshiku onegai shimasu!. That was a song from my debut single 'I WISH' My single will be in stores next week so please be on the look out. Thank you!" My voice was steady even though on the inside, I was a mess. I was so overjoyed and full of nervousness and panic. It was a hard emotion to explain. I left the stage waving to everyone.
As I exited the music for one of GyaruCODE's hit songs started playing. I stood on the stage side and watched them. It was amazing to see real professionals work. They danced in unison it was amazing how good they were and how steady and strong their voices came out even though they were dancing. I wonder if I could ever do something like that. I calmed myself down watching them then it was time to return to my green room to change back into my normal clothes.
Along the way a staff-san came running by my and bumped into my pretty hard. I had fallen and the man didn't help me up. I told him sorry but he was already gone. I got on my knees to stand up but when I tried pushing myself up with my arms I felt a shooting pain in my left arm. I looked over and saw red running down it.
"Eh?!" I couldn't hold back the shock as pain ran through my arm. a staff-san noticed I was bleeding and helped me up and to my green room. Our company doctor was called in to look at me. I was glad that he had to be at all performances in case anything looked me over and cleaned up my arm. I didn't need stitches thankfully but there was a large cut on my arm that ran almost four inches. I didn't even realize what had happen. When security came in to speak with me they asked me what happened.
"I was walking down the hall and a staff-san was running, he bumped into me and knocked me on the ground, then I realized I was injured." I recounted the situation calmly. The Security told me they already watched the security footage and the man that ran into had a knife and had cut me. He wasn't part of the staff and they've already contacted the police. They told me that I could go for the evening and they would handle the rest.
Taisho-san contacted me later and said that the media may cover what had happened but if anyone asks me about it, not to comment. I was still shaken up and worried that the cut might scar. It was a long day for me. When I got home I drifted to sleep but I had the same dream over and over again, it was of that man running at me. Why did he do it, I wonder?
