Chapter 2: Who?

-The next day; Yaya's POV-

The day began with me and the girls heading to our entertainment agency, Chara Entertainment, to go to a meeting with the producer and practice for our upcoming single. Currently, we're on break. Only Tamo-chi and Yaya were in the practice room as the other girls were in the cafeteria getting drinks.

"Hmm…"

Nothing

"Hmm,"

Still nothing

"Hmm!"

"Oh my goodness, Yaya. What do you want?!" Tamo-chi yelled. The mere sound of anger set me into a panic. "Wah! Tamo-chi is so mean to Yaya."

Obviously aggravated, Tamo-chi strained to calm down, "What is it, Yaya?"

"Well, Yaya was wondering if Tamo-chi had any candy with her."

"Yaya, you know I don't have any with me," Tamo sighed, I pouted. Work is so boring sometimes. I mean, just sitting here waiting for Yukairi-tan to come is agonizing. Just when I thought Yaya was going to die of boredom, Amu, Rima, and Utau came into the room.

"AMU-CHI! RIMA-TAN! UTAU-TAN!"

"God, Yaya, we're right here." Rima sighed. I was currently attached to Rima, clinging to her like a baby monkey would to its mother. She eyed Yaya to get off and Yaya quickly did before there was some type of punishment that would occur for touching her.

"Sorry,"

Utau-tan handed the drinks out and Amu-chi sat down. "Anyway, where's Yukairi?" Amu asked.

Tamo-chi and Yaya shrugged. And at that moment, Yukairi walked in. She was happier than usual. She walked, more like skipped, towards us with bright smile. Whereas, normally, she walk in professionally with a serious face and had a business-like aura around even when there was no work related business to attend to. Sometime it scared Yaya how serious she is.

"Ohayo, minna!" She chirped.

"Yukairi-tan, why are you so cheerful today?" I asked curiously. The rest of the girls gave approving nods towards the question as to why our ever-so strict manager was in such high spirits compared to the normal 'I'm happy to be here with you guys, but you really annoy me' look.

"Well…" Yukairi-tan trailed, avoiding eye contact,

"Well?" We all questioned.

"I've got great news!" She smiled.

"Is it about a new candy store being opened in the office building?" Yaya asked excitedly.

"What- no." Yukairi said. I frowned.

"Then what is it? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" Utau asked. It took a few minutes before Yukairi exploded; "I'm getting married!" The practice room was filled with the shrill squeals of overtly happy females.

"Oh my gosh, congratulations!" Amu-chi spazzed.

"To whom is the lucky man to take our wonderful pain-in-the-butt of a manager and make her into a beautiful bride?" Rima-tan asked playfully.

"…"

"What did you say? We didn't quite catch that." Utau said. We were reveling in this moment a bit too much.

Yukairi sighed and repeated her statement in more louder but sheepish tone, "To the Dark Knights' manager, Nikaidou Yuu."

…

"WHAT?!"

"And he and the Dark Knights' are coming over to discuss a collaboration music video with you for the song you were rehearsing this afternoon. As well as the music video shooting will be held this afternoon." Yukairi breathed in one breath.

The very thought of doing a collaboration with those douchebags caused a set of nerves to snap. Rima's eye was twitching, Amu choked on her Starbucks coffee that she was drinking, Utau had snapped the pen she was playing with in half, Tamo dug her nails into her hands causing them to bleed, and I was clawing at the table nearby leaving marks. Awhile Yukairi stood motionless, scared for her life, thinking 'This is going to be terrible.'

-Ikuto's POV-

We left our company, Shikin Shine Entertainment, heading towards Gakuen Studios to meet with The Guardians and, I guess our manager-in-law, to talk about collaborating on a song we're working on after receiving the shocking news from our foolish manager Nikaidou.

-Flashback-

The guys and I were talking, with the exception of Kairi who was too immersed in a book about anthropology he was reading, about recent news of a secret collaboration rumor that had been going around the company involving us and some girl group for our new music video. Then, I took notice of Nikaidou looking more skittish than usual. "Yo,"

Nikaidou flinched slightly before speaking, "Uh, guys, I have great news."

"What? You're leaving us for some new cookie-cutter boy band?" Kukai said jokingly.

"No, I'm getting married." Nikaidou stated proudly. I fell, shocked, out of my chair at that statement.

"What? Ow!" I said, rubbing my head, realizing that when I fell, I hit my head against the table.

"Wow, congrats, man! You're finally became a man!" Kukai smirked. Kyo and I snickered.

"What?! I've was man before." Nikaidou stated.

"Whatever, congratulations." Nagi sincerely said.

"So, who's the lucky girl?" I asked.

"Or guy," Kyo added smugly.

Nikaidou glared at him, "HER name is-"He stopped.

"What is her name?" Kairi asked not looking up from his book.

"Uh, well…" Nikaidou started. It took him sometime to think how he was going to word his next statement properly. Sighing, he finally said, more like whispered, "Yukairi."

…

-THUD-

We were all taken aback by Kairi sudden speed as he pinned Nikaidou up against the wall so quickly he couldn't get away. Kairi had flung his book so fast we were amazed that he didn't hit one of us with it.

"You're getting married to my sister?!" Kairi murderously asked.

"Y-yeah," Nikaidou said nervously.

It took a few minutes for everything to settle down and it took both Kyo and Nagi to get Kairi off Nikaidou. I thought deeply as to why Kairi was so surprised to act that way toward Nikaidou. I looked toward Kairi, "Dude, you didn't know he was even dating your sister?"

Kairi looked away and answered, "No."

"Wow." Kyo sighed looking at Kairi in a new light of stupidity that would closely resemble how he looks at Kukai from time to time.

"And before I get manhandled again, I just thought that I should tell you that you'll be meeting with The Guardians this afternoon for your collaboration."

Suddenly everyone came after Nikaidou as here ran from the office into the parking lot.

-Flashback-

Thinking about this rivalry that has grown and became a mutual hatred between the Dark Knights and The Guardians, I found that we really don't hate them or anything; we just dislike their attitudes towards us. But that still doesn't change the fact that we totally beat Nikaidou's ass for this so-called collaboration. Upon entering the studio, however, we were completely stunned by what we saw.
