I do not own anything.
I know, I know. I should update more, but I have competitions this coming Thursday. I've had to practice in my spare time. . IF ANYONE IS READING THIS, please continue reading. If anyone would like to be a Beta Reader for Hana-chan, the author of Meet the Twins, please just PM her and you'll probably get the spot. No experience needed. She needs a Beta Reader for her new and upcoming story Seven Seas Treasurer (summary: Amu is a mermaid princess about to marry and take over the thrown. Now if only that wasn't her worst nightmare... On the night before her sixteenth birthday she runs away in search of a new life but ends up caught in a fish net; and as a last resort to escape, she turns herself human but in the process loses, not only her memory, but also her face! Going from once a tall honey-golden eyed rosette to a short brown eyed brunette is probably not the first thing Amu was expecting but one thing is for sure. The last thing she could have seen coming was being a new weapon's master in a pirate ship! ) Remember if you get on her good side you might get more updates for her story Meet the Twins. Her birthday's coming up as well. Just putting that out there ;D BETA READER NEEDED!
"This…" The MC's voice was buried in the sea of voices. The fans wouldn't just sit there, for they knew the results were wrong since the people around them voted for Amu and not the red head. It was clear in everyone's heads.
"Listen up, people!" Utau called for their attention, and everyone's heads snapped back to look at their idol. "I know all of you think that the polls are rigged. I do, too; but how else are we supposed to be settling this? Barking like dogs? If you want to have a practical show down, let's see who is more compatible with the band. I already have a game in store if you the fans will agree to my request. It's a game to see who knows the most about and matches our lovely Tsukiyomi Ikuto the better. All in favor of this game stay silent for a few seconds as we prepare the game. If you oppose, scream like there's no tomorrow."
The room fell dead silent. Grinning like the geniuses they are and looking around, the crowd was about ready to jump on anyone who was willing to scream. The staff didn't find any problem with this at all. The more viewers the more money. The staff in black moved a couple of tables on the stage and left three keypads.
"Okay now may our main characters take their seats." The blond gestured to the three seats, seeming to enjoy the control she had. Saya sat at the far left, Ikuto the middle, and Amu the far right. There was a keypad for each of them, and there was also a wall in between each of the three. "This is how the game will go. I will ask a question, and you the players will type down your answer on that keypad. Make sure not to peek because our fans will automatically disqualify you.
The fans cried in triumph with the widest grins they could make.
"Our first question: When is Ikuto's birthday?" Utau spoke.
"January 1" was Saaya's answer.
"December 1" was Amu's and Ikuto's answer.
"Amu gets the point," Utau announced and was backed up by the crowd's roaring response. The competition went on with the basic questions, such as his favorite color, restaurant, food, animal, and other sorts.
"The scores are 50:50. I don't get how Saaya could get that many, but anything is possible in this competition," Utau said. "Now our next challenge is called 'Is that Ikuto's hand?' game."
After a few minutes, the preparations were complete. Amu and Saaya were blindfolded as the mysterious huge cardboard wall with men behind it came. There were twelve holes with a curtain covering it. In unison, twelve hands popped out of the curtains.
"Now as the title suggests, figure out which hand is Ikuto's. When you've found him, holler to us," Utau sat on a chair provided for her.
Ikuto's POV
I knew Utau was up to something. Sigh, this game is just stupid; but I can't lie. I would like it if Amu chose me. What would I do if she did? No, Ikuto, you shouldn't be all up in the clouds. Amu doesn't even like me much. I have to be thinking what I would do if she didn't. But- Suddenly a hand grabbed mine.
"Ikuto?" Saaya asked. I decided not to respond, and she moved onto the next person. Isn't Kukai three people away from me? If Saaya continues on doing that, Kukai will probably just say yes.
A hand grabbed my hand which seemed to incase her. It was Amu. Saaya's hand wasn't this soft and warm. Amu's hand was slowly slipping away, but as her fingers reached mine, she lingered for a moment and tried to snap her hand away. Before she could, I grabbed her hand. I should've just let her go and not tell her who I am, but I wanted her by my side longer. I knew that if she lost, I wouldn't be able to be with her.
"Ikuto, let go." Amu knew it was me, but why would she just give up?
"Why?" The question that would always pop up in my head at every action she had done so far in my life.
"I don't deserve-"
"It's not a matter of whether you deserve it or not. I want you by my side," I squeezed her hand.
"I-" I loosened my grip to let her have room.
"FOUND IKUTO'S HAND!" Saaya hollered from three people away. Amu tore her hand from mine.
"I've found it as well," She yelled, hanging onto another guy's hand. I knew it was the guy next to me because he was laughing. How I would love to punch him?
Normal POV
"Sorry, but you both haven't gotten Ikuto. Amu, you were so close; but he was the hand to the right of you," Utau sighed. She already saw the whole thing but knew that the way to mend their relationship wasn't to make Amu choose him. Amu laughed it off, but Amu and Ikuto were thinking the same thing.
"If only she/he would understand how I feel," They both thought simultaneously without knowing it.
"Since you are still at a tie, I have already prepared a game to see who wins. Blindfold them." After a few minutes of being blind folded, the cloths were removed from their eyes that were met by the bright lights.
"Okay, now this is the last round," The male MC replaced Utau's easy going, bossy tone. "Find Ikuto, Kukai, and Nagi. As for bonus, you have to find U-" The MC stopped as one of the girls pointed at the crowd.
"Ikuto. Kukai. Nagi. Utau." The girl moved her hand according to the name and face in the crowd.
Thanks for reading. There's only one chapter left. I left a cliffhanger there so that someone will become HANA-CHAN'S BETA READER! I'll update this story during the weekday if Hana-chan reports to me that she actually has one. I know I'm becoming hostile and all, but her birthday is coming up! I don't know what else to get her! TT-TT
