Chapter Nine: Musical News
Yuta's POV
Itsuki was explaining the stages in which we're picked for the ending performance, out of everyone during the whole explanation I was the only one smiling. Shu and Kakeru were wearing serious expressions, Toru was a worried one, and Kaito had a contemplative and depressed one, all in all everyone but Itsuki and I were depressing.
"Kakeru, he wasn't saying that because he's not used to it he was saying it because this whole room is depressing" Tsugaru said finally showing up, it annoys me that unless Itsuki or I am with him he's always late. I got on stage and twirled getting their attention out of the gutter, their depressing mood is suffocating right now, what Itsuki said was right though we need to be able to attract an audience and votes from them.
"I really want to dance with the high schooler I admire, so we have no time to be nervous Toru" I said and heard Kaito say something in a depressing tone which was rude with how he said it. "Let's make the best performance we can!" I exclaimed and they all nodded their agreement.
I really liked the outdoor stage more than the halls because if my brother had his way he'd have all of Stride coming here instead of being in Stride which is something that can't happen. "You guys want the Grand Performance Hall right?" I asked when we left the hall, Kaito explained why he has no complaints and so did Kakeru which I know will lead to Tsugaru saying something.
"Yuta has performed in front of over five thousand when he was little so the Outdoor Stage wouldn't be a problem for him" Tsugaru said stopping us and surprising everyone but me. "Tsugaru! No one needs to know that and they don't have a reason to know that" I said when I continued walking "you do know someone is watching us right Yu-ta" Tsugaru said in a sing song voice in my ear and I nodded since I saw Akatsuki a while ago.
I handed in the performance letter with Tatsumi and smiled at him when I saw that he was applying for the same hall, it wasn't a surprise Tsubasa would do that. I was in the hall with the rest of my team and Team Hiragi as well as two of the council member's, we were competing to figure out who would use the evening slot.
I ended up losing but as soon as I remembered this game I realized I was being stupid "I wish you had told me the French rules then this would have made more sense to me, I understand the French rules better than the Japanese ones" I said scratching the back of my head surprising them and confusing them at the same time. I was in the practice hall with the others when Itsuki asked about the piece, I knew that would be hard since choosing a piece to play isn't easy.
Itsuki's POV
I told my team about the funds and left to go somewhere when Akatuski showed up, he was a lot more aggressive today than before. "I'm not tormenting him, are you sure you're not the one doing so with trying to get him to make my team and I quit?" I asked surprising him.
"I have a destiny as well and it is a whole lot bigger than this academy and Hiragi knows that, and might I ask what are you to him anyway?" I asked when he started talking about Tsubasa's duties. I continued walking and was wondering if what Yuta said is true, that he wants to dance with me.
Yuta's POV
I suggested some ideas and Kakeru shot them down until the two started arguing which is annoying me, I really wanted to go see the play that Toru was talking about but as soon as Kakeru and Kaito said we have a piece to figure out I remembered I don't have time for that. We watched Shu leave until we walked down the hall "thanks for reminding me by the way I had almost forgotten" I said when Kaito mentioned that we were going off topic.
"You're welcome but how can you forget something like that?" he asked and I shrugged "as soon as you mentioned the piece I remembered I won't be here next year" I said and they were surprised.
Itsuki's POV
"We only got the hall because no other teams wanted it" I said when he asked me why we got it I however didn't notice when Tsugaru walked in until he spoke. "Yuta told you why Hiragi" Tsugaru said and I turned my head to the right to look at him "Yuta is very special and he's always right when it comes to these kind of things" he continued.
Yuta's POV
We were standing in front of one of the halls, it was really big and I really wanted to sing in it however that would be stupid since we're supposed to anyway. We were in the practice hall later discussing how we should do the performance but I don't really like how the percentage is that we'll even be doing it right now, it's at a 38%.
Third Person POV
Tsubasa and a few of the student council members were in Tsubasa's office discussing something amongst each other, Tsubasa didn't like how they were treating someone who is a part of the Hiragi traditions. "I will only agree if Otori does since we might lose our agreement with Stride if you guys keep degrading him" Tsubasa said shocking them.
"What do you mean Hiragi?" Akatsuki asked and Tsubasa sighed as if he was tired "the heir to Stride just so happens to be in Team Otori so if you announce your hate towards that team we could lose Stride" Tsubasa told them making Yuzuriha ask who the heir to Stride was. "Yuta Hoshitani is the heir to Stride the main 'revolutionary' of the group" Tsubasa said and this time they were speechless "If we demote them without proper reason we'll be destroying the Ayanagi Tradition of having everything with Ayanagi in it" Tsubasa said making them look down.
"I'll need time to think about this so if you don't have any other questions you're dismissed" Tsubasa said and they did wondering how this turned around on them. Team Otori was doing what they do when they're stuck, many training, others spacing out, and some cultivating a talent or more.
The next day everyone was still depressed over not having an idea yet however Tsugaru was still as happy as ever even though he didn't like the look on his brother's face right now. As soon as Itsuki showed up though they had inspiration to do something and they did, they sang.
*My heart's beating faster
I'm getting excited
All right! Everything will turn out all right somehow
Sometimes we're wrong
Sometimes we go out of bounds
Everything is correct
Everything sparkles
Let's try doing things we're good at and not good at! (Yeah!)
Everyone's different, but that's good, too (Good!)
It'll slowly get more fun (Yeah!)
We can make what we imagine happen
What about our dream?!
Is it over there?!
Bursting out and shining the way we want
Doing things our way
We're not alone, let's become one
Even if we're small, gather close
We'll show you a dream you've never seen before
(Are you OK?)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
(Dream go!)*
They decided to call it Stardust Musical and the news spread throughout campus like wildfire to, everyone wanted to know what they were going to do and how the performance was going to be. They were having fun doing the work required to do the performance they wanted but the poster that Shu was doing was not very good work in their opinion.
A/N: Hello, I finished writing this on June 22, 2016 at 9:31 P.M. I just realized while rewatching this to write this chapter that Tsubasa looks like a young Kaito to me.
I think I skipped something because I think I'm missing the flashback somewhere about Itsuki and Tsubasa when they were enrolled into the academy. Basically all it was going to say though is what I think Itsuki thought of how much he didn't like how the school's lose win system worked because of a kid being blamed in a team that lost and that Itsuki knows he has a different destiny than Tsubasa and it being about protecting Yuta as his companion in Stride.
Well I hope you like this chapter and will continue reading, I'll see you Thursday.
