For Rel
Note: Before I get anymore reviewers get confused, onyx is another word for black. So, 'the black haired girl' and the 'onyx haired girl' are one and the same. There aren't four girls. Just wanted to get that straight.
Before I forget, I don't own Gundam Wing or the characters, and I don't own any of the songs in here. They all go to their own respectable anime. In short, there are not just Gundam Wing songs. I just own Adam and any other different characters.
WARNING: Not lemon or anything like that, in this chapter there are song lyrics. My advise, skip over them, they're just taking up so much space. They're only there because I couldn't find a way around them. Sorry, if any of you have an idea how I can get around them, drop me a line than.
"Now signoras and signores, welcome, to our main event of the evening! Please welcome the one, the only, 'For Rel'!" an announcer stated through a microphone, which was most likely on the platform. Following the announcement was the dry applause from the few drunks in the bar. Even a few of the former gundam pilots and the girls gave a rather lame applause, than again they had no idea what the group was.
"What's so special about this band that you have us see them?" questioned Catherine turning to Sylvia.
"They're one of the very few lyrical bands still left actually. My friend, Sage, and his brother formed the group with their friends about five or four months ago while in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Than they decided to move here about three months ago to try their songs here, and it turns out that they can bring in quite the crowd," replied Sylvia.
Lights returned to normal when the sound of amps being tune were heard, and on stage were the three girls from earlier along with two African males. The black haired girl was standing in front of the head microphone, the blond held a Vantage t218 electric guitar, and the green haired girl was standing behind a keyboard. One of the African boys, one with dozens of tiny braids, had a bass guitar, and the other boy, with dread locks, was seated behind a drum set of six drums and eight symbols. There were six microphones and stands on the stage, in front of each instrument, including the piano that was off towards the end of the platform.
No one in the group moved until the electric guitarist started up only to be joined by the drums, than the bass guitar player and the keyboardist.
"Doko ka he ikitai
Da kedo doko he ikeba ii no ka
Wakaranai mama ni
Kyou ga owatte iku yo ne
Hitori de nayande
Migi to hidari to ue to shita to
Kotae wo sagashite
Itsu mo ittari kitari sa
Hitori-botchi de iru to
Minna hanbun ni naru…
Tanoshi koto mo oishii mono mo
Fushigi na kurai dekakete ikou
Kimi to I'll be your friend," sang the onyx haired girl as she grabbed the microphone and moved around in front of the first row of tables, without tangling the cord. There was a brief singing pause where the lead female singer got back onto the platform and the bass guitar man stepped up to the microphone in front of him.
"Tooku ni kirameku
Yuke wo miagete 'ru bakari da to
Jibun no i-basho wo
Miushinattari mo suru sa
Yozora ha mugen no hoshi wo
Kira-kira Kagayakasete
Kizuite 'nai dake
Kimi no kokoro to onnaji
Dare ka go soba ni iru to
Minna ga hanbun ni naru…" Once again, the singing switched back to the black haired girl as she returned to her place in front of the first microphone.
"Kanashii koto mo nayami-goto demo
Fushigi na kurai hagemasareru yo
Shinjite goran mahou ja nakute
Kimi no yasashisa ha subete no chikara
Boku shitte 'ru!"
An instrumental break took place as the electric guitar played a solo part where the drums came in for a few beats every once in a while. Than the drums really did join in along with the bass guitar and keyboards for the last ten seconds of the twenty-three second break. Instantly, the song returned to the lead singer.
"Kanashii koto mo nayami-gota demo
Fushigi na kurai hagemasareru yo
Shinjite goran mahou ja nakute
Kimi no yasashisa ha subete no chikara
Boku ha I'm your friend!"
People applauded but not as most people during concerts do after hearing the band or orchestra do a grand performance. This kind of applause was more like a golfers' applause, soft-almost audible! About the ONLY person that could be heard in the entire bar was Duo with his whistling and stomping of the feet. Obviously he enjoyed and wanted to show just how MUCH he had enjoyed the performance.
"Thank you all for your unenthused gratitude as always, except for the guy with the braid. Are you giving out clapping lessons at all?" joked the black haired girl. "Since we're boring you all, I'll take a short time and introduce ourselves. I am Draca Ison, lead vocalist, thank you! On bass we have Adam Cole!" Adam held up the rock'n'roll signs from the twenty-first century. "Yeah, he's the insane one. Than we have our electric guitarist, Lynn Voc. Say 'hi' Lynn."
"Are we really THAT boring people?!" Lynn asked through her microphone after playing a few cords. "Silence is to be taken as a no, than."
"Sage Cole on drum set and small percussion," continued Draca. Instead of standing up Sage just held up his drumsticks in the form of a cross. "Not cute Sage, they're not evil! Last, and the least, Salimar Reigns, our keyboardist and pianist! I sincerely hope that did just come out correctly and not in some sick form." Moss green haired girl gave a small bow and than waved.
"Say Heero, did you ever find or get a lead on the Vice Foreign Minister?" Sylvia whispered to Heero, for she knew all about Heero's activities concerning the search for the runaway.
Heero stiffened but kept his expressionless mask on as he replied, "No, we haven't. What are you suggesting Sylvia?"
"Well, here's my idea; perhaps she had changed her name to something completely undistinguishable and she's staying with friends. Friends whom you never knew about," explained Sylvia. In return she just got a disbelieved grunt from Heero, which she nudged him for. "You never know, it could be very possibly."
"One problem though, there is no person alive with the name Taye Chap, who had owned the house that Relena had called the night she had ran away. Somehow, don't ask me how, we can't get a hold of the conversation. Personally I think someone either deleted them from the database or destroyed them," countered Heero.
"Why do you want to find her so badly?" inquired Sally having overheard the conversation.
I'm ending here for the sake of not boring any of you. Also, to spare you from more lyrics. Unfortunately, there's more and I'm still attempting to somehow get around all of that. Just remember to skip over the lyrics if you don't want to read something useless. Promise to make the next chapter longer and end this whole bar scene.
Guess on who Relena is:
Black/onyx haired girl: 2
Blond/golden haired girl: 1
Moss green haired girl: 0
