A Sparkle of Sunshine

Chapter 2

A/N:

Well I happy to say that I think this story is off to a great start. I hope you all think the same, and I thought to myself…I'll make my story chapters seem like episodes! Hahaha so yeah…but instead of having the theme song in EVERY chapter…I mean episode, it might get annoying so I'll have the opening in this chapter and the ending in the last one! Okay? Okay, on with the chapter!

"Hmm…now I should take…wait I'm back to where I've started! Why am I going in circles!" A young girl cursed at herself, standing still as the crowd made their way pass her. She turned several times, confused as hell trying to find her way. She read the street signs but they didn't make sense. The directions her parents gave her weren't helping at all.

The girl looked at her watch, auditions were in an hour! This was her once in a life time chance! She didn't dream of missing it! The girl panicked and started to jog and turned the corner when-

"Ow!" the girl muttered, wincing from the sting pain that shot through her bottom half as she impacted the ground. She glared up at the man who so rudely ran into her…or maybe she ran into him…either way she wanted to think it was his fault.

"Oh I'm sorry Miss, my apologies." The man with blonde hair smiled, helping the young woman up.

"It's okay sir, but could you help me? I'm looking for NG Productions and-

"I'm on my way there as well, I'll take you." The man offered as the girl smiled and walked next to him, somehow feeling secure with this stranger. The man took a few glances at her, as if she were some alien that landed to take capture of the world and enslave the humans, while force feeding them vegetables!

"Whoa, my mind wonders quite too much…" The girl thought and looked at the guy.

"What business do you have with NG?" the man asked, looking over his shoulder at the young girl who's eyes sparkled, "I'm auditioning to become a singer! It's been my life long dream, well that and besides becoming a writer."

A few awkward minutes of silence passed before either one of them spoke.

"Well I give you my best wishes." The man said and held out his arm, "We're here, time to go our separate ways."

"Okay, and thanks again! You're a life savor!" The girl smiled and entered the building with the man but departed immediately and walked down the hall that said auditions with an arrow pointing to it.

"Another amateur wouldn't you say Mr. Seguchi?" the secretary asked, giggling after the comment.

"Actually, I think we have a winner on our hands." He said, retiring to the elevator. The secretary looked puzzled but shrugged it off and went back to answering the phones.

As the elevator slowly made its way up to his destination, Tohma couldn't forget that girl. She seemed so energic, peaceful, a person who could ease the mood of anyone. She was a lot like-

"Shuichi! Get away from the elevator door! You're not two you know!" Yuki barked, pulling his husband away from the opening doors.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Shuichi." He said, walking down the hall towards his office.

"It's alright Seguchi, Yuki and I just arrived here." He said, following him while Yuki managed to mutter, "Yeah, just arrived twenty three minutes ago."

Shuichi turned and whispered, "You were keeping count?"

Tohma chuckled lightly, opening his doors and lead the two in and they both took a seat, "Now as you know Mr. Shindo, you were asked to judge the fifty people who are here today. You, myself and Ryuichi will be deciding who will be the new members of the band Forbidden Rose. It's a band that we hope to be a successful hit in Japan."

Shuichi quietly nodded his head while the name Rose repeated itself in his head. Out of all the names, why does the band have to have the name Rose in it?

"But Tohma, I thought there were already two members of Forbidden Rose?" Shuichi asked.

"Yes, the two background singers have already been decided, we just need two lead vocalists, preferably a male and female, but we'll see what we're dealt with today." Tohma said, getting up from his desk chair, "Shall we?"

"But what about the keyboardist or guitarist?" Shuichi asked confusingly. Tohma just smiled at him, "This a group singer sort of band, the keyboardists will just be paid to write the melodies to their lyrics."

"Things sure are changing nowadays…." Shuichi thought as he followed Mr. Seguchi into the elevator.

"So have you seen any female vocalists you liked?" Tohma asked, while the next person was about to enter to take their place.

Shuichi shook his head in a no, "It's just, none of them stand out to me, we need someone who will be noticed, someone with what Ryuichi would call, a sparkle to them, especially if they're working for the former member of Nittle Grasper." Shuichi smirked, causing Tohma to smile.

"Well I only produce the best in the business, I mean looked how big Bad Luck became, you even surpassed Nittle Grasper, it would be huge for anyone to surpass Bad Luck's achievements." Tohma said and saw the girl he helped to NG as she took her place on stage.

Shuichi looked at the girl and had a double take. She looked so confident, standing alone with her long strawberry blonde hair, and golden eyes, that seemed to be smiling at the judges. Shuichi smiled and moved around in his seat to get comfortable.

"What song shall you be singing and who's the artist?" Shuichi asked

The girl's smile widened, "I've written my own song if that's alright with you." She said into the microphone, waiting for a response.

Shuichi turned to look at Tohma then Ryuichi, "Well, is that okay?" he asked while Ryuichi gave two thumbs up and yelled, "Let's hear it!"

Uh, uh huh , this is my time

Oooh, at times i felt like i had lost myself,
Cause people try to make you someone else,
I had to learn to trust my heart so
Things can change

I came to a point where i could speak my mind
And not feel im' living in a box and keep the girl i am concealed ..
Oooh i finally found the strength so i can leave it that all behind

This is my time to shine
This is my place to find all that i have inside i never knew
(I never knew)
This is my time to show
What i must have always known that nothings impossible
And dreams come true (and dreams come true)

Oooh .. everybody's got the strength inside all it takes is time to realize
That you and only you can be the one to decide

I can i will i know that everything i want i can do believing in myself
That every wish i make will come true ooo
I took a while to get this far but I'm here now

Overcoming all these things .
Here i finally found my wings...
Now i know I'm ready to flyyyyyyyyy...

This is my time to shine
This is my place to find all that i have inside i never knew
(I never knew no)
This is my time to show
What i must have always known
That nothings impossible and dreams come true
(And dreams come true)

This is my time

This is my time
Yeah yeahhh
This is my time

This is my time
Yeah yeahhh

This is my time to shine
This is my place to find all that i have inside i never knew
(I never knew)

(Higher pitch)
This is my time to show
What i must have always known
That nothings impossible and dreams come true
(And dreams come true)

The three men just sat there…amazed…overwhelmed…they were suppose to stop her after a few verses but couldn't…she was just too cool…too good…

Shuichi looked at her, she just lit up the entire atmosphere with her beautiful voice, and he smiled and wrote down the rest of his comments.

"Hey Shuichi, next person! Hurry up and finish your sheet!" Ryuichi cheered while Shuichi shook his head and finished up.

After the performances were over, people were in the back room adding up total sheets for everyone and so far a male part has been decided. Shuichi got up from his chair and headed out for the main lobby to buy a pack of pocky from the candy machine, to pass some time before Yuki and him went out for dinner.

"Ehh….no! Don't eat my money you money eating mental machine!" a younger girl cried while banging her fists against the candy machine, causing the plastic glass to shake.

"Hey, I can give you money if you want."

The girl spun around and was faced with a tall older man with strawberry pink hair.

"Are you Shuichi Shindo?" the girl asked, stone cold.

"Yeah…I judged your performance, it was very good." He commented, causing the girl to smile, "Oh my Kami, my god has spoken to me and said I was good!" the girl got on her knees and prayed to the heavens.

Shuichi sweat dropped, "Um… so what are you trying to purchase?" he asked chuckling.

"You just don't know how much I love your music, I've been listening to it since I was a little girl! My parents had to import it for me from Japan, it wasn't easy you know, I love your song, Rage Beat, it's an oldie but a classic! I hear you love strawberry pocky? Me too! It's so weird you know?" the girl stopped when she saw the guy just staring at her.

"Do you ever breath?" he asked, letting out yet another chuckle.

"No, not often." The girl said sarcastically and smiled, "But I also heard you are a lot like Ryuichi Sakuma! Is that true? He carries a pink bunny around doesn't he? My parents bought me one when I was in the hospital to get my tonsils removed and I was so happy, you wouldn't believe!"

The girl kept going on and on while she purchased her snack. Shuichi couldn't help but feel she was just like him when he was her age.

"I'm sorry miss, but I have to go, I'll see you around." Shuichi waved and she waved back and called, "Bye Shindo!"

The girl signed, he's so nice. She looked around and couldn't believe how far she's gone. She's alone in a foreign country, by herself with only her talent to guide her now.

"Miss, they're going to announce the female vocalist pretty soon." Someone called out to the girl and she nodded, following him back and took a seat in the audience, so nervous that she couldn't stop eating her pocky sticks. "Hmm...these are pretty good… better than American pocky I buy at Walmart!" she thought as she continued to munch on them.

Just then she saw the man who helped her to NG standing on stage, taking a microphone in his hands and smiling as he was ready to announce.

"As the president of NG, Tohma Seguchi, I am happy to announce our female vocalist." He said, as the girls started to clap, all of them excited.

"That's TOHMA SEGUCHI?" the girl yelled in her mind as her heart was beating faster and faster…she ran into the man who practically has power of the entire country of Japan! She looked down at her hands as happy tears sprung to her eyes, "I touched Tohma Seguchi!" the girl thought as she heard her name and had a double take.

Seguchi was staring at her while the girls clapped for her. What was going on?

"Kari, you are the lead vocalist of Forbidden Rose." Tohma said, only to see the young girl stand up and pass out before his eyes.

"Ohhh….what happened?" the girl asked, her vision still slightly blurring but soon saw two familiar faces.

"Oh you're alright! Mr. Bear was soo worried!" Ryuichi said, waving his bear in her face.

"I guess all the excitement got the best of you now didn't it, well congratulations!" Shuichi said, helping her up from the break room couch.

"Oh thank you, this means so much to me! This must be a dream!" The girl said, hugging the life out of Shuichi.

"Hey, there's some vegetable trays, care for some carrots or celery?" asked Hiro but the girl shook her head, "No thanks."

"Um, don't mind me asking but do any of you know of an apartment I can find?" Kari asked, "I don't have a place to stay since I just arrived here yesterday."

"Oh, you're not from here? What city did you move from?" Shuichi asked, eating some celery.

"Oh, I'm from America, my parents are supporting me though, they know this is my life long dream besides writing and oh my gosh! I haven't called them yet!" the girl ran out of the room but came back.

"Um, heh, where's the phone?" she asked while everyone fell over anime style.

"Well since you don't have a place, I could offer you to stay with me for a day or two until you find a place." Shuichi asked while the girls jaw dropped.

"Me…Shuichi…in his house…my god…for like two days…." The girl whispered as her breath became heavy and she screamed and jumped on him and hugged him again.

"Yes I accept! Oh my this is so exciting! I don't know what to say!" the girl sighed, letting go of her God.

"Just so you know, my husband Yuki might be a little against this but I'll handle it so don't you worry." Shuichi winked, causing the young Kari to laugh.

"Well guys, I'm going to get her to my place so see you all tomorrow!" Shuichi said, while showing Kari to the exit of the building.

Well well well….I hope you all enjoyed, the next chapter will involve Kari, Shuichi and Yuki and some funny apartment scenes! So stay tuned…
