Please enjoy the next chapter.
The Devi Dolls and the Demon Kings stood in a lobby of a hotel with their respected managers in front of them, "Girls, I've got some great news for you four," the purple-haired woman spoke.
"And you too, boys," the blond man stated as the four Demon Kings stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes. "Right,"
Rika Raim looked at Orias before she sighed and shook her head, "Right…girls, you've done so well during your interview at Interpol Heights that they're willing to sign you four,"
The Devi Dolls eyes widened as they began talking amongst themselves and Orias spoke, "And you boys…the man was so surprised by the passion in your song that Interpol Heights is willing to give you four a deal," the four glared at him as Orias arched a brow and shook his head, "What?"
"The catch…and we know what it is," the leader of the band spoke before looking over towards the opposing band, "And you four should know what it is too. Why else will two bands be meeting for the same reason?"
Their eyes widened before they looked at their manager and the woman sighed as she shook her head, "Yes, the Devi Dolls and the Demon Kings will be working on projects together. The people at Interpol Heights believe that both bands have great potential and has ample opportunity to grow, but they want the two bands to work together on certain projects and…seeing how both bands lost out on Spin City…we agreed," looking over to the opposing band, the purple-haired woman arched a brow, "How did you boys know about all of-"
"He's been our manager since the beginning and there's always a catch with him," Sabro explained, "For a while, we didn't understand that, but after one of our concerts, he told us we had a deal lined up, and Izama said there's going to be a but in the deal, and the catch was we had to perform at a kid's birthday party…the owner of the company…humiliating,"
The Devi Dolls and Rika looked at them in confusion as Jazz sighed and shook his head, "It was for a 5-year-old kid. We're a heavy metal band, performing for a bunch of ankle biters and we had to do some heavy censoring…damn it was annoying,"
"This is why bands shouldn't play at children's birthday parties," Shax crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, "It'll water the image of the band down greatly and they can lose a lot of chances…but the moron did sign us the next morning,"
"Well…be that as it may…there is one more catch," Rika cleared her throat and the Devi Dolls looked at her in disbelief, "I know I never have a catch when it comes to you girls, but this will seal the deal if you will…both bands are going to have to perform one more time. And for some strange reason, which I can't figure out…whether Orias can or not…who cares?"
"That hurt, love," Orias smirked and Rika rolled her eyes and shook her head, "But yeah…I don't get this one either. Both bands will do a musical mashup for this interview at Interpol Heights…I guess they want to see if you eight can work together on projects,"
"And when is this happening?" Shax arched a brow.
"Tomorrow afternoon," the eight stared at the adults with wide eyes as Rika shook her head, "We know this is a little sudden, which is why both bands will be staying in this hotel tonight and tomorrow morning you eight can discuss which song you will sing in the interview an-"
"Problem with that," the two looked at the leader of the Demon Kings in confusion as he crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes, "I don't have any extra makeup with me, not to mention my hairspray, so once I wash this off, people who know who I am and I want to avoid that,"
"And we didn't bring any extra makeup with us," the bassist for the Devi Dolls narrowed her eyes, "So unless you want to-"
"Relax girls, I asked Bachiko to pick your makeup up for you four," Rika assured.
Orias sighed and shook his head, "And…there's no catch for this one, Izama, but I went and had Robin go to your house and pick up your makeup and spray," turning towards the front desk, the two managers walked towards it, "Let's get you kids checked in." the eight sighed before following their respected managers.

Kerori, Clara, Ameri and Elizabetta, all freshly showered, sat in the room, confused looks crossing their faces, "So," Kerori sighed and shook her head, "In order to get this deal we'll have to perform with the Demon Kings…but Raim should know we don't do that sort of thing and the people at Interpol Heights should've been informed about this,"
"What's the big deal?" Ameri crossed her arms and leaned back against the bed behind her, "We'll perform tomorrow, we'll get the deal, and we might have to do a few projects with the Demon Kings, but I'm not complaining,"
"And we can finally learn who Izama is," Clara spoke and the three looked at her, "I'm telling you, it's not Iruma-kins. Izama is too scary looking to be Iruma-kins an-"
"We've been through this, Clara," Elizabetta shook her head, "Kerori is different when she's Kuromu, you're different when you're Kari, I'm different when I'm Nee-San and Ameri is different when she's Mononoke, so who's to say Suzuki isn't Izama, and if he is, you can't walk up to him as Izama while you're Kari and call him Iruma-kins…they'll figure out who we are,"
Clara moaned and pouted as she crossed her arms and Kerori took a deep breath, "Elizabetta is right…we might as well forget about Izama for now and focus on what song we're going to sing with the Demon Kings tomorrow…and we're going to have to talk to them about this too,"
"And that should be fun," Ameri said sarcastically, rolling her eyes, "Sobnock, Andro and Lied are idiots who didn't try to come up with a stage name before Demon Kings made their first debut, whereas Izama did, and the others seem loyal to him and we can't do anything to have them tell us who he is without revealing ourselves," the others nodded in agreement as the room fell silent.

Iruma laid on the bed against the furthest wall with his arms behind his head while Jazz, Sabro and Shax sat on the floor, "So…what do we do?" Jazz questioned and the three looked at him in confusion, "We're supposed to perform with the Devi Dolls tomorrow an-"
"Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Jazz," Shax groaned as he narrowed his eyes, "We were there when Oswell and that other manager told both bands…what I don't understand is why? We're fine working on our own, and so are the Devi Dolls…so why do we have to do this?"
"Relax you three," Iruma sighed and turned on his side, "Bands collaborate all the time…if I had to guess, the people at Interpol Heights wants to see if the Demon Kings and the Devi Dolls can work together without trying to kill each other,"
"But the Demon Kings always work alone, it's been that way since the beginning…and what kind of song are we supposed to sing with them?" Sabro questioned, "We're mostly a heavy metal band, how are we supposed to-"
"The Demon Kings and the Devi Dolls are going to talk tomorrow at breakfast, Sabro," Iruma inhaled slowly as he sat up and looked at his bandmates, "We already lost the deal at Spin City, and Interpol Heights is giving us a chance and all we have to do is work alongside the Devi Dolls once in a while and I'm willing to say that that's a great deal for a small price," standing up, the blue-haired band leader shook his head, "Yeah, the Demon Kings worked alone since we formed, but if working with the Devi Dolls mean we get this deal then…I say we swallow our pride and get this over with…and hey, we won't always work with them, right?"
"I guess," Shax rubbed the back of his head, "By the way, Iruma…what would've happened if Oswell didn't send Robin to your house to get your makeup or if there were a catch?"
"If he didn't send Robin, I'd call grandpa and ask him to send Opera with my stuff and if there was a catch…then there's not much I can do about that," walking over to the window, Iruma looked out and stared at the street below as cars drove past the hotel, "Like I said, Oswell does look out for us, and while usually this is a catch, I'm glad there wasn't any to get my stuff from the house," the others nodded as the air grew still between the four.
I know I haven't added a song in a few chapters, but the next chapter will have one…enjoy.
