Scarlet Phoenix
Chapter 2: Meet the members of the Scarlet Phoenix
-Airport-
The airport was unusually crowded, the majority of which was the female population with a lot of reporters on stand-by. As the passengers of a private airplane disembarked, the crowd swarmed them. The girls were screaming as reporters tried to get near the four passengers who had just arrived.
Everyone was screaming: "The Scarlet Phoenix is really here in Japan!"
The famous band, Scarlet Phoenix, has been a hit since their first concert. They toured around the world, having concerts, modeling, filming commercials and a whole lot more. The group consisted of four young men who were known as Tamahome, Hotohori, Nuriko and Tasuki.
Tamahome, a young man with short dark blue hair and golden eyes, was the band's lead singer. He was also the most famous of the four.
Hotohori, the keyboardist, had long black hair and golden-hazel eyes.
Nuriko, the drummer, had long purple hair and pink eyes. And Tasuki, the guitarist, had short red-orange hair and amber eyes. They were accompanied by their manager, Chichiri, a man in his twenties with short blue hair and brown eyes. Tamahome, Hotohori and Nuriko smiled and waved at the squealing fans which made some drool, faint and scream. Tasuki and Chichiri were engrossed in talking when suddenly…
"WHAT?! No way!" Tasuki yelled angrily.
Everyone looked at him in surprise and curiosity. His band mates stared at him in confusion.
"Tasuki, be quiet! There was no need to shout!" Chichiri scolded.
Nuriko raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's up Tasuki? What's with all the commotion?"
Tasuki turned to look at him with eyes filled with dread. "We're going to school!" he answered hysterically.
Tamahome and Nuriko's jaws dropped while looking from Chichiri to him and back again while Hotohori massaged his forehead. Chichiri studied their reactions nervously.
"You're joking!" Tamahome finally said after the initial shock had left him.
"No, I'm not! I wish I were but--ask him!" Tasuki said, pointing a finger at Chichiri.
Chichiri laughed nervously as everyone, including the fans and the reporters, stared at him intently.
"Well…uhh…I…I…" Chichiri stammered nervously.
"Well what?" Hotohori asked, glaring at him along with the other three.
"Umm…well—" he started but he was cut off by the squealing and screaming fans.
"The members of the Scarlet Phoenix are going to school!?" one of them shouted.
"OHMIGOD! Which school!?" another yelled.
"Tama-baby might go to the same school that I go to!" yet another screamed.
And with that, the crowd went wild. The reporters tried to find out more from the group but the fans were too excited and were going crazy for them to be able to get near enough the group.
Chichiri instructed the boys to leave as they fought their way towards their waiting car. It wasn't easy with crowd screaming and swarming them like that but after some considerable effort, they managed to get near the exit of the airport.
"Why don't we split up? We'll take another route to loose them then we'll meet up with you at the hotel." Tamahome suggested.
Chichiri hesitated but, seeing the crowd catching up with them, finally agreed. "Alright but be careful!"
Tamahome grinned and dashed off down the street followed by Nuriko and Tasuki. Hotohori followed Chichiri inside the car and they sped off away from the airport.
After twenty minutes of running and turning, they finally managed to loose the fans and reporters that had followed them. They were running down an empty street and Tamahome, the one in front, was about to turn around a corner he bumped into someone from the other side.
Author's Notes:
I'm sorry for the short chapter. I dedicate this chapter to the first reviewer that I ever had in my whole entire life (I'm serious) Fiction101. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the review that you gave me. It really inspired me. Unfortunately, I had a major headache while I was editing this chapter. I still do and I seem to have a fever which is really pissing me off since I still have to finish my projects. And to add to my luck, two days from now, we are going to have our periodical exams. I have to study three languages for that week-long. Perfect. Oh and the deadline for my projects is on the first day of the exam. Lucky me! Ugh, never mind my school works; it is no excuse for the short chapter. Hopefully, I'll be able to make the next chapter longer. I'm already half-way through; I just need to get my head cleared to finish it. Reviews, comments, criticisms, recommendations, suggestions, etc. are welcomed except for ill words. I don't take too kindly about it. Suggestions for songs to be used for the story are also welcomed as well as suggestions for the pairings. That's all. Au revoir. And thanks again to Fiction101!!!
