Things are starting to heat up! Let me know what you guys think of this story!
The group of males burst into chatter amongst themselves after Otoya's initial outburst. Of course with the exception of a stunned and slightly embarrassed Tokiya standing there with his mouth slightly agape. They all were so wrapped up in their studies at Saotome and their debut, they hadn't even realized a unit from their own agency had reached the number one spot. Most importantly, these idols were going to train them. It wasn't everyday that newbies in the business got an opportunity like this.
However, their chatter was abruptly interrupted, as a loud clap came from the behind the group.
"Ahem!"
Yuichiro stood there with his hands pressed together, a small smile on the boys soft face. The males all quieted down as Umiko rose an eyebrow at Yui, clearly a little annoyed he had taken her spotlight temporarily. As if on cue, the STARISH composer walked into the kitchen, papers in hand.
"Eh? What is everyone doing here?" Haruka questioned, her head tilted slightly, clearly confused at what was going on.
"Miss Nanami, what good timing!"
Yui flashed her a bright smile, adjusting the red rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose as he continued,
"Since STARISH will officially be having WINGS as their mentors, that also means that I will officially be yours!"
Haruka blinked her eyes a couple times, seemingly processing the information. Umiko rolled her eyes, though before she could spit out a passive aggressive comment, someone else interjected.
"But Haruka's songs are already amazing! She has the blessing of the muses!"
Cecil exclaimed, not letting Haruka get a word in in response. For a moment the room fell silent as Yuichiro took a few steps forward to where his own idols stood. A look of superiority formed on Umikos face while Momo simply averted her gaze to the side.
"You know…"
Yui started in a low tone, the group having to strain to hear him as he looked down at the floor. Suddenly he looked up, standing in between the two female idols. Their gaze also fell onto the group, and all at once they emitted a menacing aura. This aura was suppressing, and all at the same time extremely powerful. STARISH, Cecil and their composer were all frozen in their spots, unable to do anything against this feeling.
"...It is the composer who gets their idol group number one, yeah?"
A dark glint shone in Yui's eyes that sent a shiver down all eight of their spines, his smile giving off a completely opposite energy of what it gave off before. The eight knew right then and there, that this group was a force to be reckoned with.
"So…!"
cheered Yui, the pain of suppression suddenly disappearing as he turned back into the soft spoken boy from moments ago, "I'll be helping Miss Nanami!"
"I-I'll be in your care!" stuttered out Haruka, the first to break from the frozen stance as she bowed deeply at her senpai.
"Good luck, you're gonna need it," snorted out Umiko, crossing her arms over her chest as she cocked her head to the side. Her partner, Momo, said nothing, though gave the composer a curt nod.
"Well, no time like the present to start!"
Yui suddenly burst out, grabbing the composer by her wrist to drag her out.
"E-Eh!? Hyakuya-senpai!?" Haruka sputtered out, stumbling over her own feet as she was tugged out of the room, the boy laughing cheerfully.
"O-Oi…!" shouted out Syo, the group of males clearly getting defensive on behalf of their beloved composer. However, Umiko wasn't having it, and she stood at the entrance Yui and Haruka had just left through to block their paths.
"Now now, you didn't forget about us, did you?"
A terrifying smirk beamed on her pink lips, her hands resting on her hips as she stood practically face to face with the blonde male.
"You're our piece of work now, so don't think you can do whatever you want when you're on our time. When we say jump, you say how high. Got it? If you wanna be the best, you gotta prove it to us. We won't let you pass us if you're more concerned about your dear princess than you are about becoming the best."
The seven males had all been taken back, though they knew what the purple haired girl said was true. They were the best shot they had to become the best of the best.
"Oh, and you, aggravating prince boy," Umiko turned her sharp gaze to Cecil, "Get lost. We're here to train STARISH, I didn't sign up for extras."
She stuck her thumb up towards the door, clearly not impressed, trying to usher him out.
"Eeeeeh!?" Cecil whined, clearly upset that he would not get in on this training as well. As Umiko's gaze turned more menacing by the second, he was quickly intimidated and decided to leave while he was still intact.
"Now that he's gone, we can get down to business!" Umiko declared, chuckling slightly. She walked towards the door, Momo shortly following suit.
"What do you mean Tanaka? What are we doing?" questioned Masato, not quite sure what her words meant.
"Meet in the first practice room in an hour, and if you're late I'll beat the crap outta you!"
Umiko laughed to herself as she left, though somehow they knew that she wasn't joking. Momo peered back at them one last time as they exited, giving an emotionless stare before scurrying along with Umiko.
"This'll be fun," mused Ren, a grin on his face.
"I want to learn how to flip like that!Wasn't it so cool Tokiya!?"
gushed Otoya, Tokiya simply grumbled to himself, clearly unhappy about the situation. He was too quick to judge, and he of all people should have known that they were number one.
"Well, let's see what comes out of it."
An hour had passed, and the six idols gathered in the practice room waiting for the two girls.
"Didn't they say an hour on the dot?"
Masato was certain they were all punctual, he would have never mixed up the time. The rest of the group looked inpatient, some seeming more annoyed than excited.
"What did I say," started Tokiya with a deep heave, "We don't nee-"
In the middle of his sentence however, the lights suddenly went off, making the room pitch black.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Natsuki looked around, barely being able to make out the faces of the members that were close to him. All of a sudden music started to play. It almost sounded like a music box. In a split second blinding lights appeared, and two shadow figures appeared.
"Saint Crash"
The music suddenly bass dropped, an entirely new feeling coming from the music. It was intense, passionate, and dark. With this new sound the lights dimmed, a purple and dark magenta swirling aura surrounded them. Revealed were Umiko and Momo, a dazzling confidence radiating from them.
Umiko was the first to step forward towards them, her signature smirk plastered on her face. She wore what seemed to be a deep purple dress. It went off her shoulder with sleeves going down to her elbow, a large magenta sash resting on her gold embellishments along her torso and the trim of the dress shone as brightly as she did, a black lace garter resting on her exposed thigh. Adorning her hands were black fingerless gloves, black and purple roses decorating her pigtails. She walked straight towards Tokiya, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Someone's scenario Dreaming future"
Suddenly, Momo seemed to appear out of thin air, changing positions with Umiko. She wore a dress similar to her taller counterparts, with shorter sleeves and a sheer collared top covering her chest and collarbone. Her small hands looked delicate in black gloves that reached her elbows, her pink rose hair clips replaced with black bat wings.
"No more trick, no more trap."
As though they moved as one person, the two fluidly danced around, each face to face with Syo Kurusu and Natsuki Shinomiya as they sang in sync.
"A not to be deceived Dreaming future. I don't need it Bye-bye."
As they sang the words bye bye, Momo backhand springed away from the fedora wearing boy, Umiko blowing a kiss and winking at his tall partner. They came together in the middle as Umiko sang, and STARISH knew what this song was. They had heard them practicing this with Yui the other day, though the aura it gave off was completely.
"CRASH MIND! The answers have appeared after the breakdown."
When they performed, the girls became one person. They were in perfect sync, and their movements were like an extension of each other. Their singing and harmonization was perfect, and the intensity of their music was taking the boy's breath away. They were worlds above STARISH, even worlds above Quartet Night. This is what a group looked like.
"CRASH MIND! Even if I cry and get lost I won't let it fail."
Umiko had made her move, strutting up to Ren and pulling him down by his tie. This had clearly been a slice of payback for his comment the previous day. Momo following suit, approached the bluenette next to him, her head tilted slightly as a hand traced down her porcelain cheeks.
"No matter what happens to My trust"
STARISH felt as though they were in another world, watching the girls perform. They were rockstars. Something completely different.
"No more trick, no more trap! No more trick, no more trap!"
With the last line the music trickled down, leaving the girls to strike a final pose. As the music stopped the aura seemed to dissipate, much similar to the Quartet Night performance previously. Standing there was the two girls, shining on as they held their pose. It was dead silent for a few moments, Umiko taking the chance to speak.
"Now that you know what a real hard work looks like, let's get started."
