This song-shot is set in an Idol AU. Koro-sensei is a human in this song-shot.
Song (1) requested by: mspotatoes
Saturday
"MA-NA-MI! MA-NA-MI! MA-NA-MI!" the crowd of fans cheers.
Okuda takes a deep breath. This new hit has been selling off really high so her fans at least tripled. The girl sighs. She loved singing; it's just that things did not go the way she thought it would. Okuda used to sing for small couples in the park. After that, a person said that she had a great voice and allowed her to sing for his company. Then the girl became famous and started her celebrity face since then.
She tries to stop her fidgeting, microphone in hand. What has her boss, Koro-sensei (a.k.a Mr. Perverted Weirdo), gotten her into?
The crowd gets louder when she makes her appearance on stage. Okuda clutches her light gray dress. Then she starts singing.
Tell me babe, how many do I shed my tears?
Every Heart,
Every Heart is not a gentle yet
Shall I do?
I can never say my loneliness
Every Heart doesn't know so what to say or what to do
Was afraid of darkness cause I felt that I was left alone
So I prayed for help to distant million stars
Round and round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace forever more
Growing growing woe baby we can work it out
Look up at the sky every heart is shining all today
Show me now,
What kind of smile do I come across?
Every heart every heart can take a step towards the dreams
All of us what to take a lasting happiness
Whenever you feel sad, I wanna hold you
And give you a sound sleep
Someday every hearts gonna free and easy
We have peace of mind
Someday all the people find the way to love
Goes and goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself - Tomorrow's never die
There is the warm heart places on my mind
In my earliest day's there and it's so sweet
There are many stars they have talk with me so kind
They say yes always time's friend of mine-so shine
Round and Round the planets revolve round the sun
And we always seek after love and peace forever more
Growing growing woe baby we can work it out
Look at the sky every heart is shining all today
Goes and Goes the time goes on we are not alone
We live on together and we will find some precious things
Sometime we will smile sometime we will cry somehow
Don't forget believing yourself - Tomorrows never die
When the girl finishes, the crowd bursts into fan screams. Flowers are thrown onto the stage as Okuda takes in all the congratulations that she hears.
"Thank you for that wonderful song!"
"I love you very much!"
"Beautiful!"
"Love your voice!"
"Awesome!"
"Thank you, everyone!" she says into the microphone. "Hope you've enjoyed the song Every Heart!"
More screams and yelling comes on as she exits the stage.
"Good job!" her manager, Kataoka, tells her.
"That song is going to help a lot of people!" Kayano, Okuda's music producer, exclaims.
The celebrity nods. "How much money did we make this time?"
Nagisa, the co-manager and Kayano's boyfriend, looks at a screen. "Wow! With this song, we made over 1 billion dollars!" He smiles. "All those orphanages are going to run smoothly."
Okuda smiles and nods. She became an idol to raise money for her family and those other people without a home.
"Manami-chan!"
The group sees Koro-sensei as he walks over to the group. The man claps the said girl's shoulder and grins.
"Another big hit! Say... Are you ready to perform another song in one week?" the weird man questions.
Nakamura, his assistant, frown while raising an eyebrow up. "You know, it's going to be hard to decide yes or no for your question."
"Huh? Why?"
Kataoka deadpans while Okuda and the others sweat drops. She points to the inappropriate magazine in Koro-sensei's hand. "Is that a question to be answered?"
"NUYAAAAA!" the man yells. He fumbles around for a minute trying to hide the paper. In the end, Koro-sensei just results in hiding it behind his back, the view away from the group. "What magazine? I have no idea what you're talking about," he says with a blank face.
Everyone else sweat drops. 'And yet you wonder why we all call you Mr. Perverted Weirdo,' they all think.
"Bye, everyone!" Okuda calls. She finishes packing her stuff and runs out the door. The rest of her crew calls out goodbye in return.
The black-haired female wears a light blue, knee-length dress with a red scarf that partly covers her mouth. Over her eyes in a pair of round sunglasses and on top of her head is a light brown hat. She lets down her hair to conceal her identity.
If you had gain a lot of fans today, might as well wear a heavier disguise.
"I wonder what my next song will be," Okuda mutters to herself, her feet running continuously. She gazes at the raspberry-pink colored sky.
But her running and thoughts are cut off short when the girl bumps into someone. Okuda falls to the ground with her back first. The first thing she sees when she sits upright is a head of red hair.
"Are you hurt?" a voice asks.
Okuda trails her eyes until she meets a pair of beautiful mercury-gold eyes. The male in front of her wears a simple red shirt with dark blue jeans.
"No..." The female shakes her head.
"That's good..." Realization makes its way onto the boy's face, causing a shocked expression. "Y-You're..."
That's when she realizes her disguise came undone. It must have been the collision. Okuda sees her scarf and hat laying vulnerable on the ground. Okuda touches her right cheek. It's exposed to the world now.
That's not even the worst part. There are fans near her...and a lot of them too.
"..."
Cue the fangirl screams.
"I can't believe it!" a girl with raven hair exclaims.
Another girl with pink hair nods her head rapidly over and over again. "It's really her! It's really her!"
A male with brown hair points at Okuda. "That's Okuda Manami! I'm gonna get her autograph!"
"Me too!"
"Me three!"
"Don't forget! Me also!"
Okuda stares at them in horror. She quickly gathers her stuff in a fast pace to get away from the fans running towards her. "Uh oh..." is all she manages before running.
Unfortunately for the girl, Okuda is not exactly in the speed category. She's about to give up until-
"Come on! Grab my hand!" the unknown male yells.
Seeing that there's nothing else to lose, the idol grabs the hand lent to her. The two run around for about thirty minutes before they are able to lose all the fans. Either they gave up, they were tired, or they couldn't find the duo.
Okuda tugs at her dress. She and the boy are sitting on the cold floor of an abandoned alley. It's dark right now so she has to use her phone light to see things.
"Are you okay?" the male next to her says. His legs are up to his chest since the area they are in is really small.
"Y-Yes..." Okuda blushes at the close proximity. His arms rub against hers with every movement. "But..."
He looks at her. "But what?"
"I don't know your name," the girl says. She at least wants to know the name of the person who had just saved her life.
"Oh." He says, "Karma. Akabane Karma." He shifts a little, touching Okuda's hand for a moment.
"I'm-"
"There're no need. My parents are huge fans of you so I already know who you are," Karma tells her.
She blushes. Good thing that her light is not that bright, otherwise he would've seen her red blush. "Well then. T-Thanks for saving me, Karma-kun..."
Karma laughs. "No need to be shy. If I didn't save you, I would've been trampled over too."
Okuda giggles. "Yes."
The redhead stands up to walk over to the entrance. Looking around for a bit, he turns back to the idol. "Looks like all your fans are gone. You can go back home."
"But..." Okuda holds up her dirty accessories. They have dirt on this with a few tears because of the rocky pavement. "My disguise..."
"Oh," Karma mutters. "I should walk you home since it's already dark."
Okuda stutters, "N-No! I don't mind walking home by myself. I don't want you to get in such a hassle."
The boy shrugs. "Eh, it's alright." He points his thumb outside the alley. "Besides, thugs like to hang out at night. Especially during nights like these. With all the screams earlier, they probably know that you are still wandering the streets." He walks out the alley, a hand motioning Okuda to follow him. "I'll accompany you home."
The idol nods. "O-Okay..."
Karma and Okuda both stand at least half a foot away from each other. The black-haired girl feels weird. Either she would walk home with her crew or by herself while wearing a disguise. She never went home alone with a boy before. Hint the word: boy.
Okuda tries to start a conversation. "Um..."
The redhead turns his head. "Hm?"
"Thank you for offering to take me home," she says.
Karma smiles. "Nah. I don't mind. My parents are out on another trip so they won't be home until next week. It doesn't matter if I'm home late."
Okuda nods again. She flinches again when the boy next to her laughs.
"You don't have to be so nervous. Unlike many of my friends, I'm not a stalker!" he says, laughing again.
The idol doesn't know what it is. It feels...normal to be around this redhead. Like she doesn't need to hide what she is. Okuda feels that he is a person that she can trust.
"Um...Karma-kun?"
The redhead notices the girl a foot behind him and stops walking. He looks at her with question. Okuda fidgets with her fingers.
"U-Um...thanks," she says with a blush on her face.
This time, Karma gives her a sincere smile. A smile that Okuda can't forget.
The next week is one of the best weeks that Okuda has ever had. She and Karma became a couple very shortly. She treasures every moment that they had together.
Sunday
"Take this!" Okuda yells, spraying her water gun at Karma.
The idol, Karma, and the rest of the crew are at the beach to take a break during the summer. The blistering sun was not making things better, so BAM! Kataoka arranged them to go to the beach.
Karma laughs, before spraying water in Okuda's face. "Right back at you!"
"My turn!" Nagisa calls. He points his blue water gun at Karma before shooting water at him.
"I'm not missing any of this!" Nakamura snickers before shooting the feminine-like male with water.
Kayano sprays some more water at her boyfriend. "Don't forget that I'm here!"
Kataoka uses this chance to shoot Kayano. "Don't let your guard down!" she tells the green-haired girl in the donut-shaped float.
Kayano lets out a sound of surprise before laughing really hard with the others. They all continue to play like that until all six of the them are sprayed in the faces. Water slides down their faces as they have dumbfounded expressions.
"Huh...?" That question lingers in their heads.
They all turn to see Koro-sensei standing triumphantly, as if he just won the water gun competition. Behind him is a machine with six water guns in its hold. Okuda and the others deadpan.
'Where did he get that?'
Monday
"Look at these cute animals!" Kayano exclaims. She points to a baby koala.
They are currently at the zoo. Right now, all the girls are staring and making comments about all the babies. The boys are laughing at their expressions.
"Look at this zebra!" Kataoka says.
Nakamura points to another animal, which in this case, is a small kangaroo. "Aww..."
Okuda points to a red panda. "It's red! Just like your hair."
"Haha. Yeah," Karma answers.
"Um..." Nagisa interrupts the group. "...Er...Koro-sensei, what exactly are you doing?"
The group stares at Koro-sensei who is giggling like a little girl while feeding one of the baby animals. A very noticeable pink blush can be seen on his face. Some of the other people stare at him awkwardly.
"You're a cute animal! Yes you are!" Koro-sensei exclaims. He giggles more when the animals continue to eat off his hands.
'What a weird guy he is...'
Tuesday
"Hello~!" Karma greets, before walking into Okuda's kitchen. He smiles when he sees the girl making him some breakfast.
"Here you go," Okuda says, handing him a plate of food.
The redhead stares at the perfectly baked eggs, the few pieces of bacon, and the round sausage patties that are tender. He practically drools at the sight of it. Forget about being a boyfriend to an idol. It's time for some yummy, delicious food.
"Your cookings are always the best!" Karma exclaims. He enjoys the savoring taste of the bacon in his mouth.
Okuda giggles. "Thanks!" She giggles even more when she watches the expression on Karma's face when he eats the rest of the food. An expression of a little kid's filled with happiness.
Wednesday
"Where do you want to go next?" the redhead asks her.
Okuda ponders for a second before seeing a stand. "I got it!" She points to the stand that is near them. "Ice cream!"
Karma laughs. "Sure, my little princess."
Ever since they got together, Okuda has stopped wearing a disguise. Why? Because Karma is always with her. Karma as in "The Redheaded Delinquent who will beat you up if you get on his bad side". Many other people are jealous, but they refuse to take Okuda away from him. Karma only has to beat up just a few people per day.
Seeing Okuda like this makes Karma happy. She doesn't need to be afraid of people going after her anymore. She can just be free again.
At the ice cream stand, Karma picks a chocolate-flavored ice cream while Okuda picks a strawberry-flavored one.
"Do you like it?" Karma questions.
Okuda nods happily. "Mmhm! Thanks for buying it for me!"
"Anything for my girlfriend," he says. Karma pulls back her nags and pecks her on the forehead. Okuda giggles in response.
"It's Okuda Manami!" a voice says.
The duo sees a little girl around the age of five run up to them. Her light purple hair is pulled back into a ponytail as a paper and pencil is seen in her hand.
She holds the material in front the idol. "I know you!" she exclaims. "Can I have your autograph?"
An older version runs over to the trio, an older version of the girl. "I'm so sorry! My daughter is a huge fan and-"
Okuda shakes her head. "No," she says, interrupting the mother. "I don't mind." She takes the paper and writes her name on the picture. "What's your name?" she asks the young girl.
"My name's Rika!" the girl, now known as Rika, exclaim.
The black-haired girl nods and writes down the phrase: "To a big fan of mine, Rika". When Okuda hands it back to the young girl, Rika squeals and gives a surprise hug to the idol. The mother and the couple laugh. What an energetic girl she is.
Thursday
"What song are you playing tomorrow?" Karma inquires.
Okuda shows him a sheet. "I'm playing the song 'Red'. Kayano was able to get it done in time."
The redhead nods, laying his head on his arms. He takes a look around the room. All of the idol's crew is working really hard on the stage setup and her costume. Karma is more attentive on the dress. It's a beautiful shade a bright red to go with the song. The sleeves are see-through, reaching till the elbows. The area above the chest is exposed, showing the heart-shaped necklace. The dress reaches the knees, being slightly puffy. Around the waist is a dark red ribbon that is tied into a flower style. The flower sticks onto the left side of the dress. On top of the chest part, a dark red jewel is in a raindrop shape, the point sticking downwards. For shoes, Okuda would wear a pair of dark red flats with a bright red bow on each flat, the bow being on the near tip of the shoe.
"That's a beautiful dress," Karma says to Nakamura, who is putting the final touches.
Nakamura grins. "Thanks." Her grin turns into a smirk. "And congratulations to you on getting a girlfriend." The blondie motions to Okuda, who is busy with discussing her dance moves with Kayano. "Not many people are able to get close to Manami. You're lucky enough that she trusts you."
Karma stares at his girlfriend. "She's one-of-a-kind," he says. "She's one of the people who I can trust and put my faith in."
Nakamura leans in so she can whisper in Karma's ear. "Listen," she whispers, "if you ever break Manami's heart, I will kill you," she threatens.
Karma laughs. "Don't worry. There's nothing that can ever separate me from her."
"You better be true to your word."
Friday
Okuda twirls around. "Is this it?" she asks.
Kayano nods. "That's good!" She claps.
"Try this," Nagisa says. He twirls around once and then arches his body to look at the floor. He spreads his arms up into the air for the next step. "Do it ballerina style."
Okuda mimics the moves. "I think I have it," she says.
"Mmhm," the blue-haired male hums. "Just practice it."
The girl is about to twirl again when the whole crew, the idol, and Karma hears some snoring. They all turn to Koro-sensei. He is snoring really loud while holding those magazines.
They all sweat drop. 'Seriously, how does the government put up with this kind of company?'
Kataoka grows a tick mark. She doesn't like people who slacks off. Grabbing a water bottle, the girl slaps his head with it. "Get up already!" she growls. "You're the one who told us we have a concert to do for Manami! Do what you say!" She grabs the magazines. "I'll be confiscating these for now!"
"NUYAAAAA!" The man immediately wakes up. "Please don't take those away from me! I beg of you!" He gets on his knees and puts his hands together for effect.
"No!"
"Whhhyyyyyyy?!"
The rest of the group sweat drops. 'This guy...'
Karma scoots over to Okuda's side. "Is he really an adult?" he questions.
Okuda sighs and shrugs her shoulders. "Yes. Despite his weird hobbies, he's actually good at his job."
"I don't know whether to agree with you or doubt you," the redhead mutters. Suddenly, he face brights up. "Hey! Can you sing me the song that you're going to sing tomorrow?"
Okuda shakes her head. "Nope! You'll just have to wait for the concert tomorrow."
Karma pouts. "Aww... Just one chorus?"
"Nope!"
"Oh fine."
But things can end just as they started.
"I'm home!" Karma calls, walking inside his house. He knows his parents are home but it still doesn't matter if he's late or not since he's old enough.
"Oh!" his mother's voice says, with an obvious tone of surprise. "You look happy."
"What happened?" his father asks, placing the newspaper in his hands down.
Karma grins, making his parents more intrigued. "I have a girlfriend now~!"
The expression on his mother's face drops. "Um...Karma?"
The redhead raises his eyebrows. It's unusual for his parents to act like this. Normally, his parents would bother him to get a girlfriend. He has one now, so what's getting his parents so worked up?
"We have something to tell you," his father says.
"What? Tell me what?"
Both of the adults look away. A look of guilt is on both of their faces.
Now Karma's mad. He slams a fist on the table, making them jump in surprise and shock. "Tell me what?!" he screams. "I finally have a girlfriend now after all your nagging!" He points an accusing finger at both of them. Karma's mercury-gold eyes seem to have a darker effect as he yells in anger, "It seems that you don't want me to get together with someone! Just tell me what's on your minds!" The angry- no, furious redhead wants to have answers before he loses it.
"We have a new job," his mother says.
Karma pants heavily after raising his voice so high. "That's it?" he asks. "Then that's all you needed to tell me."
"That's not the problem," his father says. He gives a paper to Karma, who starts to skim through it. "Our new job is in...the US," he hesitates on that last part.
Their son's eyes widen. Karma reads the sheet over and over to make sure his eyes are not fooling him.
Congratulations!
Mr. and Mrs. Akabane, you two have been transferred to the US!
Hope you two have a wonderful time working in Los Angeles, California.
We have already done your request on enrolling your son into UCLA. He is going have a great time there!
Thanks for everything and see you soon!
Karma is speechless. "No...way..." he manages.
"We leave tomorrow," his mother tells him.
"Can't we wait another day?" Karma asks. "I have somewhere important to go to tomorrow!" It's sounds like he's begging, but he doesn't care.
His father shakes his head. "I'm sorry. It's too late to move everything back one more day. All the arrangements have been settled."
Karma grits his teeth. He throws the paper down and stomps his way up to his room, ignoring all the calls of his parents. He slams to the floor and feels tears trickle down his face. Karma slides down to the floor with his back on the door and starts crying.
Oh how much his girlfriend will be so heartbroken.
Saturday
Okuda hums as she dances around on the stage. Just one more hour until her concert starts.
"You're going to look so great!" Nakamura gushes.
Nagisa nods. "I agree!"
The idol giggles. "Thanks."
Kayano looks around and sees Kataoka by herself working on the special effects. "Where's Koro-sensei?"
"I'm right here!"
The whole group turns to see Koro-sensei walking up to Okuda. He holds out her costume in front of her. "Here put this on," he says.
Okuda nods and walks over to the changing room.
"Is the special effects in check?" Koro-sensei asks.
"Check," Kataoka says.
"What about the music?"
"All done!" Kayano holds up a peace sign.
"What about lighting?"
"Yep!" Nagisa smiles.
"Rio, is the stage decorations done?"
Nakamura deadpans. "Yo, Mr. Perverted Weirdo!" she says. "Look around. We're on the stage."
Koro-sensei looks around and nods, a hand on his chin. "Stage is done," he says nonchalantly.
The rest of the crew sweat drops. 'Just how weird can this guy get?'
But everyone's attention is on Karma who is walking in. His face is emotionless, as if he is a doll. Before any of the crew can ask what's wrong, Okuda walks into the room.
"Karma-kun!" she exclaims, wearing the red dress. She walks up to her boyfriend, who just stares at her. "What do you think?" Okuda twirls around. "Do you like it-"
Her question is cut off short when Karma interrupts her.
"Manami, listen." He takes a deep breath.
I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us
Doesn't seem right these days
Life keeps getting in the way
Whenever we try, somehow the plan
Is always rearranged
It's so hard to say
But I've gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now, I gotta go my own way
'Go his own way'? Okuda is speechless. She can here Nakamura screaming 'Akabane Karma! You're a jerk!'. But Nagisa and Kayano are struggling to to hold her in place so she doesn't pounce on the redhead. Okuda can also hear screaming about Karma breaking a promise or something. But she doesn't care. Her attention is on Karma's words.
Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
And I watch them fall every time
Another color turns to grey
And it's just too hard to watch it all
Slowly fade away
I'm leaving today
Karma's leaving?
'Cause I gotta do what's best for me
What's better than leaving his own girlfriend?
You'll be okay
Does he really think that Okuda can move on without him?
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here, I hope you understand
We might find our place in this world someday
But at least for now, I gotta go my way
Finally Okuda manages something.
"What about us?" she asks. "What about everything we've been through?"
"What about trust?" Karma counters.
"You know I never wanted to hurt you," Okuda says.
"And what about me?"
"What am I supposed to do?"
"I gotta leave but I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you..."
"So, I've got to move on and be who I am," Karma sings. Tears fall down his face; he cannot hold them in anymore.
"Why do you have to go?," Okuda sings. Tears also threaten to come down, so she lets them slide down her cheeks.
"I just don't belong here, I hope you understand."
"I'm trying to understand."
"We might find a place in this world someday
But at least for now..."
"I want you to stay."
"I wanna go my own way...
I've got to move on and be who I am."
"What about us?"
"I just don't belong here, I hope you understand."
"I'm trying to understand."
"We might find our place in this world someday.
But at least for now, I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way."
Karma caresses Okuda's cheek. "I gotta go my own way."
Okuda sobs. "W-Why are y-you l-leaving me?!" she sniffs. Her face is red and puffy from all the crying.
Nakamura is finally able to get out of the others' grasp and she runs over to Karma. She slaps him, leaving a red mark on his cheek. "You lied to me!" she yells, furious. "You told me nothing can separate you from Manami!"
'He said that?' Okuda thinks.
"I'm sorry," Karma says out of nowhere. Nakamura stops her ranting and everyone else stares at him in question. Karma continues to explain, "My parents had enrolled me into UCLA. That's a college in the US."
Okuda feels a lot of emotions run through her. Yeah, she's mad and all but yet, at the same time she's sad. Sad that her boyfriend is leaving.
Karma hugs Okuda. The idol sniffles and hugs him back. Kayano feels like she will cry just by watching the scene. Nagisa balls up his hands into fists and looks away, biting his lip for fear he would cry too. Kataoka stares at the couple with a lot of sympathy. Nakamura grits her teeth and looks at the ground. Koro-sensei...well, he is crying like a little baby. Everyone ignores him.
"I love you," Karma whispers. He lifts a hand to stroke her hair.
Okuda is unable to say anything. Instead, she tightens her hug around the redhead. Even though she's not talking, Karma knows exactly what she is trying to get across.
She loves him too.
The crew watches Karma as he leaves. Okuda stares at his fading shadow.
"Don't be sad," Kataoka says. She places a hand on her shoulder in attempt to cheer her up.
Nakamura grins, reverting back to her happy-go-lucky personality. "She's right. That Akabane kid had a good reason for leaving you."
Nagisa steps in front of her. "Besides, college doesn't last that long. You two can still see each other someday."
The four well-beings hear a lot of noise and see that the fans are already seating themselves. Screams of excitement ignite.
"You have a show to put on, don't you?" Kayano asks. She points to the crowd. "Don't let your sadness get the best of you. Go put on a show!"
Okuda nods. "Thanks everyone."
Nakamura pulls the curtains so they can conceal Okuda. The crowd settles down and hushes each other.
"Are you ready?" the blonde asks Kayano.
The girl nods her head and starts playing the music. Nakamura opens up the curtains and she runs to the side stage where the others are: Kataoka, who is managing the special effects; Nagisa, who is doing the lighting; Kayano, who is playing the guitar; and Koro-sensei, who is just watching the idol.
Everyone sweat drops at the weird adult as he claps and cheers.
'At last everything is going smoothly...'
Karma walks with his parents to the airplane's interior. 'Just a couple more steps and then I'm set to UCLA.'
His parents stop to gives the attendant their tickets. The woman checks them and his parents walk inside. Before Karma takes that final step inside, he stares at a picture of him and Okuda. They look so happy together. Karma must have been staring at it for too long because his parents call out to him.
"Karma? Is everything all right?" his mother asks.
"The plane is ready to go. Come on," his father tells him, motioning inside.
The redhead lifts his head and stares at his parents. His head averts to them and then to the attendant. Finally, his mercury-gold eyes land on the picture. Karma wears a determined expression.
He lets go of all his things except the picture.
"Karma?!" his parents asks. Their faces are full of shock, bewilderment, and question.
"I'm sorry," their son apologizes before running off.
"Come back here!" his mother yells, but he is already too far for her voice to reach him.
'Manami...'
Okuda uses the dance moves that Kayano and Nagisa had taught her. She twirls to the beat of the song.
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
Okuda sways her body as she continues dancing.
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Oh, red
Burning red
Before Okuda has a chance to say the next part, another person starts singing.
Remembering her comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from her is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red
The idol turns to see Karma walking to her onstage. A microphone is held to his mouth as he sings. Okuda widens her eyes. Karma...came back for her? Unable to hold the any longer, she lets the tears fall down her face. Tears of joy.
Oh, love is so red
The couple holds each other's hand as they sing the final chorus.
Oh, losing him/her was blue like I'd never known
Missing him/her was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him/her was like trying to know somebody you never met
"And loving her was red," Karma sings.
"Cause loving him was red," Okuda sings at the same time.
"Yeah, yeah, oh so red
And loving her was red
Yeah, yeah, yeah red."
"And that's why he's spinnin' 'round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah."
And they both finish the song.
His/Her love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street.
Claps and screaming goes off. Everyone stands up and cheers for the beautiful duet they just heard. Karma and Okuda pants a little as they stare into each other's eyes.
"Karma...you came back," Okuda says. "Why? Your plane should've left already."
"I would never leave my love hanging like this," Karma tells her. "Even if they cancel my enrollment to UCLA, I would still be happy to stay here with you."
Okuda's lips turn into a heartwarming smile. "Thank you, Karma."
Karma smiles back, the same sincere smile he gave her when they first met. "Your welcome, Manami."
And he kisses her.
Karmanami~! Such a wonderful couple yet the characters are so different from each other... Please don't be mad at me about the staff. I have no idea what roles there are let alone the background of a celebrity's world. =~=" Was Karma too OOC because of the crying part? I made him cry because he won't be able to see his girlfriend again.
I chose the first song to be Every Heart by BoA and the third song is two versions of the song Red by Taylor Swift. Okuda sings the Taylor Swift's part and Karma sings the male part that is covered by Alex Goot. The second song is Gotta Go My Own Way by Vanessa Anne Hudgens and Zac Efron. They are Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton respectively from the High School Musical series. Karma sang Gabriella's part while Okuda sang Troy's part. That second song was really hard to do because they were talking and singing at the same time. So lyrics that were italicized and quoted were them talking. They rest of the italicized lyrics was Karma singing.
To mspotatoes: Here's your request. I wanted to get it done before I get really busy so I managed to get it all done.
To Autistic-Grizzly: Thanks for requesting.
To adera1896: I can do your request but I'll do Megu x Isogai.
Fairy: I see that a person asked to do a Reader x Isogai. I can't add the reader in it because the guidelines says so. I follow the directions.
Karma: We will put the requests on hold since there are more than five on the list already.
Nagisa: It takes a while for Fairy to come up with a good storyline and a good song.
Kayano: So please don't put anymore requests up until we are free again. It's going to take at least a few weeks to get it all done.
Isogai: She is trying the best she can to get it all finished in time.
Maehara: Please understand what we're telling you.
Everyone: But still, thanks for requesting. We're happy that you enjoy this story!
Any storylines? The next one will be a ChiYami (Chiba x Hayami) chapter but I'm having trouble for the plot and song. Suggestions?
Thanks for requesting mspotatoes and hope all of you have enjoyed this chapter! Stay tuned for the next song-shot!
