"This is gunna be awesome!" Sora said bouncing in place hugging his bass case. "You think the scout's here yet?" He asked scanning the crowd.
"They'll most likely show up in the middle of the first bands performance." Akira said.
"Why do you say that?" Sora asked tilting his head.
"So that he, or she, blends in and doesn't look like a scout. Keep us on our toes."
"You're over thinking this." Kaede said. The first band was setting up as people were gathered in front of a small stage. The other bands were hanging out along the sides of the stage behind ropes that separated them from the crowd. It wasn't exactly packed but there was a good number of people and besides more might show up for the later shows, though it was more likely that some people would start to leave after they heard their friends play.
"It's really nice of them to have a drum set already here so none of us had to lug one with us." Sora said before looking back at Ren and smiling sheepishly. Ren was glaring at the ground with his arms crossed and two drumsticks in his hand. He'd rather use his own drum set than just some random one that other people would be playing on.
"I should warn you now," Kaede said. "There may or may not be six rich guys coming tonight along with Haruhi."
"Wait what?" Akira asked raising an eyebrow.
"The host club might show up cause they wanted to see me play." Kaede said with a shrug. "But just because they show up doesn't mean you guys have to meet them if you don't want to."
"And why wouldn't we want to meet the guys that enslaved Haruhi?" Akira asked crossing his arms.
"They didn't enslave her." Kaede said rolling her eyes. "She's working to pay off debt. Instead of paying all she has to do is talk to girls; it's not that hard."
"Whatever."
"I wanna meet 'em!" Sora said with a big grin.
"Well if they show up and manage to get to us before we leave then I'll introduce you."
"Do you not what us to meet them?" Akira asked with a frown.
"They can be a little… overwhelming."
…
"Kyoya, hurry up!" Tamaki shouted from outside Kyoya's home. "We're going to be late to see our -….Haruhi?" He turned to the girl who stood beside him in casual clothing. "Is Kaede older than you or younger?"
"Older."
"-to see our eldest daughter's performance!" Tamaki finished.
"I don't understand why I'm here." Haruhi said. "I live in the neighborhood; I could've just walked there."
"But we have to go together!" Tamaki insisted.
"Yeah!" Honey shouted from inside the limo. Haruhi sighed.
"I would prefer it if you didn't shout about us having children outside my home." Kyoya said as he walked up to the limo that was waiting.
…
"The girl who dropped this, do you know if she'll be performing tonight?" Tetsuya asked Kasanoda as they stood at the back of the crowd. Kasanoda shrugged.
"How should I know?" He asked.
She did have a guitar case when she bumped into me though. Kasanoda thought before looking over the crowd. He stopped when he spotted her at the very front behind the rope. So she is performing.
"Young lord?" Kasanoda blinked and looked at Tetsuya. "Something wrong?" Kasanoda shook his head.
…
"Oh I am so pumped!" Sora shouted, jumping. The second band was on their last song. Kaede, Akira and Sora had already tuned their instruments and were ready to quickly set up so they could play. "Are you pumped?!" Sora asked looking at the others. They rolled their eyes and chuckled as they all nodded.
…
"When is Kaede going to play?" The twins asked sounding extremely bored even though everyone else around them was full of energy and excitement.
"Looks like they're getting ready to follow this band." Kyoya said spying the group over the crowd.
"I wonder if Tsuki-chan will see me if I wave!" Honey said before waving his arms. "Tsuki-chan!"
"I don't think she can hear you." Mori said.
"Awe." Honey pouted, as he hugged Mori's head.
…
The band finished and the crowd cheered. They thanked everyone before restating the name of their band and the members.
"Thanks again for having us! Next up is Sacred Knights, why don't you give them a warm welcome!" The band leader shouted before he started clapping. The crowd cheered and he got off the stage. Kaede and the others got up and Akira went to the main microphone as the others set up quickly.
"How's everybody doing tonight?!" The crowd cheered. "We're Scared Knights, I'm Akira Minami I'm the lead guitarist and lead male singer, that's Sora Akiyama-" Sora jumped up and down waving his arms with a big smile. "He plays bass. That's Ren Yukimura-" He said pointing to Ren who simply waved holding his drum sticks before throwing one into the air and catching it. "Our drummer. And also playing guitar and our lead female singer Kaede Tsukino!" Kaede jumped up and down slightly while waving. "We're so excited to be playing for you tonight!" The crowd cheered again. Akira backed away from the microphone and waved to the sound guy to start up the first track – the technical parts that couldn't be played. The music started to play slowly getting louder as Kaede stepped up to the main microphone. Kaede swallowed and took a deep breath.
"Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
than to harm the one I love…" The three guys leaned in to their microphones to shout.
"What have you done now?!" The four started playing loudly and the crowd cheered.
…
The crowd cheered and Sora and Kaede swapped places.
"Hey everyone!" He said cheerfully. "That was 'What have you done now by Within Temptation. Now, I don't normally sing lead and Akira doesn't like to admit it but I have the better voice for this next song." Akira rolled his eyes. Ren counted off using his drum sticks before the group started playing.
"She can be a bit dramatic I'm an addict
For the way she leaks the air out from my tires
I'm not saying I'm old fashion
But I've got this burning passion
For the way she likes to set my things on fire"
…
The crowd cheered and Sora jumped up and down.
"That was Psycho In Love by Patent Pending!" He said before backing up and letting Akira back in front of the mic.
"I love to do this next song; it's almost as addicting as its title." Akira said with a chuckle making Ren and Kaede roll their eyes and shake their heads but Sora laughed. "It's also one of the only songs where all three of us sing. Sorry ladies, Ren doesn't sing." Even thought Akira stood at the front mic Sora was the one to sing first.
"Listen up, strap in, notify your next of kin,
You're about to take a ride a little on the blazing side,
Guzzle down your Red Bull, you're gonna need a bucket full,
You're watching me accelerate and tear apart the interstate."
…
"Thank you!" Akira said with a smirk. "That was Caffeine by Jeff Williams. Next up it's just me and Sora, sorry Kaede fans." Akira started off in a low voice.
"(I miss you, I miss you)
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want"
…
"Thank you! That was I Miss You by Blink 182. We have time for one more song!" Akira said. "Be advised there is some mature language." He said before shrugging with a sheepish smile. Akira gestured for Kaede to move to the front before swapping places with her. Ren counted off before everyone started playing. Kaede grinned and started singing.
"In the daylight,
I'm your sweetheart,
Your goody-two-shoes prude is a work of art.
But you don't know me,
And soon you won't forget,
Bad as can be, yeah you know I'm not so innocent"
…
"Thank you, that was Mz Hyde by Halestorm. Give it up for Ren on drums, Sora on bass, Akira on guitar-" Akira came up to her, putting an arm around her shoulder and grabbing the mic.
"And the lovely Kaede!" He shouted. Kaede shoved him playfully and he kissed her cheek with a laugh. "And we're Sacred Knights, the night's not over yet, give it up for- !"
"Yo boss, it's over." The twins said. Tamaki was sitting on the ground covering his ears and shaking his head as he rocked back and forth.
"She says one curse word and he shuts down." Hikaru said as both twins shrugged.
"You have to admit she has a strong voice though." Kaoru said and everyone but Tamaki nodded.
"Let's go meet Tsuki-chan's band!" Honey shouted.
"I think we'd better make sure Tamaki's okay first." Hikaru said as Kaoru waved a hand in front of the host king's face.
"Young lord?" Tetsuya asked looking at Kasanoda. He noticed a light blush on the other boy's face. "Are you alright?" Kasanoda blinked.
"I'm fine."
"Well now you know her name." Tetsuya said. "Maybe you should try to talk to her at school on Monday."
"She ran away after one look at me." Kasanoda grumbled as he started to walk away.
"Maybe she was in a hurry." Tetsuya said. Kasanoda ignored him and kept walking. "You could even go up to her now, she and her band look like they're going to be staying for a little longer." He saw Kasanoda hesitated before he picked up his pace.
