Ryoko – Yo welcome back~!
Rima – Yes, I sing with Nagihiko in this…
Ryoko – Is that a bad thing? –Towers over Rima-
Rima – NOPE! ENJOY! HEHEHEHEHE!
Ryoko – My character exists in this story, and she will play an important role in both this and the sequel!
Rima – You spilled the beans girl!
Ryoko – AH! YOU NEVER SAW THAT! Anyways, this is the link to what she looks like~ yes, she looks very similar to Merleawe from Magical X Miracle. Although her hair is down to her waist and a little bit more purple-ish silver and her eyes are more of a pale blue, plus she's always wearing the outfit Merleawe is wearing when she's working with Rima or being the emcee and it's either blue, or lavender, there's pink too... other times she's wearing Lolita, http[://]media[.]photobucket[.]com[/]image[/]Images[%]20of[%]20Magical[%]20X[%]20Miracle[/]tohruhonda111[/]Earth[.]jpg Just take out the square brackets~! Oh yeah, link to Rima's outfit, it's the one the girl with the long purple hair is wearing. http[://]img10[.]imageshack[.]us[/]i[/]12638278[.]jpg[/]
Rima – This is the very IMPORTANT guide to the songs.
Male Singer: Bold
Female Singer: Underline
Both Singers: Italics
Rima started to bounce off to go change and Nagihiko sighed. He was so upset he had to sing. Why couldn't it be Nadeshiko? he thought. Rima came bouncing literally, back out wearing a cute white dress with a lavender torso and she added a lavender ribbon in her hair, and matching ballet shoes with ribbons strapping up a little bit under her knees.
"You look cute Rima-chan," Nadeshiko smiled.
"Thank you," Rima replied.
"You look hot…" both Nagihiko and Kiraa muttered under their breaths.
"Excuse me? What did you say?" Rima asked sweetly.
"Nothing…" they two boys replied.
"I'll go change now…" Nagihiko said in his boy voice.
"Wait, you're a dude?" Kiraa asked.
"And, you JUST noticed that?" Nagihiko asked turning to face Kiraa.
"I kissed a freaking DUDE on the hand?" Kiraa yelled.
"Yes, now shoo!" Nagihiko dismissed.
A girl around the age of eighteen walked up to the stage and the spotlights turned on. She had waist length purple-ish silver hair; it was all let down, except for two parts of her hair – which were braided into to small braids at the side held with two wing-like shaped clips. She had a metallic sliver headset on her ear, and she was wearing a lavender colored wizard-like-style school girl uniform. She also wore knee high white socks and black platform shoes with dark purple ribbons swirling around them.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen!" the girl greeted. "Today, we are holding a Singing Audition!"
The crowd erupted into cheers and the girl smiled. She raised a hand to silence the crowd, and the noise immediately died down.
"As you all know, I'm Saruwatari Ryoko!" she smiled. "And I'm your emcee for today!"
"RYOKO-CHAMA!!!! MARRY ME!!!!" A bunch of fan boys screamed,
"Moving on," Ryoko said ignoring her fan boys. "The first pair coming up to sing is Kimmi Wakari and Tomou Himinokonira!"
"Heeey Minna-san!" a girl with long brown hair yelled. Ryoko rolled her eyes and turned her headset back on.
"Just shut up and sing…" she hissed.
In the crowd, Temari and Kusukusu looked around the two of the looked for one person. The person who helped Rima plan Nagihiko's torture. Nadeshiko.
"Where's Nadeshiko?" the two asked simultaneously.
"How am I supposed to know?" Koneko retorted.
The golden blonde haired girl and the brown haired girl started to sing. As soon as Rima and Nagihiko heard the lyrics from backstage, they laughed and rolled their eyes.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend; she's upset.
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
The two girls launched into a super hyperactive dance consisting of claps, spins, and head tilting. Oh yeah, forgot to mention the dance moved that looked exactly like the two girls were on something… something like… crack?
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
The girls continued to dance very quickly, which was completely off beat, and Ryoko, who was sitting with the judges snickered. They started kicking and spinning fast.
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong wit-
Ryoko hit a button and the music immediately turned off while the two girls continued to sing oblivious to Ryoko's actions. Ryoko just stood the smirking watching the two girls sing amused by their stupidity. This emcee is a very sadistic girl… Nagihiko thought twitching.
"Girls!" Ryoko said through her headset.
"Hai!" the girls replied as if soldiers reporting for duty.
"Please judges?" Ryoko said.
The four judges wrote something onto their whiteboard with a green or red dry erase marker and each one held it up one by one. The first judge held up her whiteboard and smirked. On the whiteboard was a giant neatly written red X. The next judge held up a green O. Then the next two held up red X's. The two girls ran off the stage crying.
"Ha-ha…" Ryoko muttered. "Anyways, next up is Fujisaki Nadeshiko and Souma Kukai!"
"SERIOUSLY!?" the front row – Koneko, Temari, Kusukusu, Yuka, Akira, Arika and Kiraa – screamed.
"Yes, seriously!" Ryoko replied. (A/n: Now let's pretend this is a real duet between a girl and a boy~ okay? And Nadeshiko's parts are sound certainly more feminine than it actually is in the real song~)
Somewhere in the world now
You're getting out of bed
You're standing on your own feet
To shake your sleeping head
Kukai placed his hand on Nadeshiko's shoulder and looked at her his eyes full of sorrow and regret. Nadeshiko's eyes on the other hand looked cold and careless. Nadeshiko took a step back, and Kukai followed her, his hand still on her shoulder. Nadeshiko brushed his hand off and turned away quickly.
If you win you take the credit
If you lose you take the blame
No one knows where you are
And they never will again
I can still remember the day you up and left
I swear it was a moment I never will forget
You said you'd take no prisoners
But that's just what you did
You took my heart captive
Hope you know that you are missed
Nadeshiko placed her hand to her chest as if heartbroken. She grasped her head and shook her head violently. Fake tears streaming down her face and Kukai ran to her. He lifted her face up with his hand and she slapped his hand away and acted as if she was shouting the lyrics at him – which she was.
Welcome to your lies
Welcome to goodbye
You see the big world
Through small town eyes
Welcome to the point
The point of no return
Let the past ignite and memories burn
I say
Welcome to wherever you are
Nadeshiko walked – more like ran – away from Kukai, and Kukai held his hand out as if reaching for Nadeshiko. But Nadeshiko never looked back. Soon, Nadeshiko was backstage somewhere… Kukai started singing again.
I can see you in the doorway
With the daylight flooding in
It must have hid your secrets
I know more than I did then
Nadeshiko appeared from behind Kukai and kicked him down. She stepped on Kukai's stomach with her high heeled shoe and grabbed the collar of his neck Her eyes looked evil. She tossed Kukai to a side, yes, Nadeshiko threw Kukai.
Looking back I should have noticed
There's a longing in your eyes
And underneath the surface
There's a truth you could not hide
All the time we spend together
Every night we stayed up late
All the looks that I forgotten
And the plans we never made
Do you ever wonder
About everything you left
Do you question your decisions
Do you ever second guess
If you readers guessed, that the innocent and dear Nadeshiko, slapped Kukai, and then kicked him again, you are right! Nadeshiko's fake tears started pouring down her face again and she smiled weakly at Kukai.
Welcome to your lies
Welcome to goodbye
You see the big world
Through small town eyes
Welcome to the point
The point of no return
Let the past ignite and memories burn
I say
Welcome to wherever you are
You are
You are
Wherever you
Are
Welcome to your lies
Welcome to goodbye
You see the big world
Through small town eyes
Welcome to the point
The point of no return
Let the past ignite and memories burn
I say
(you are, wherever you are)
Say
(you are, wherever you...are)
Welcome to your lies
Welcome to goodbye
You see the big world
Through small town eyes
Welcome to the point
The point of no return
Let the past ignite and memories burn
I say
(you are, wherever you are)
Say
(you are)
Welcome to wherever you are
The two bowed and Ryoko clapped happily. She motioned the judges to continue with the judging and the pair received three O's and 1 O with an X in it. Ryoko rolled her eyes at the last judge and then continued on with the show.
"That was such a sweet song, but Nadeshiko-chan was a bit violent now…" Ryoko teased.
"Next up is Fujisaki Nagihiko and Mashiro Rima!" Ryoko smiled.
"I'm going to kill you if you mess up!" Rima hissed at Nagi and turned on her headset.
I'm lookin' for somebody,
Who'll love me and care for me,
Who'll treasure my feelings…?
And never hold back!
Someone who'll love me truly,
Someone who will risk everything for me!
Is it even possible to find a man…
That suits my tastes?
Rima started a series of quick turns alternating feet with progression along a straight line – yes, Rima's doing ballet, just it's not as graceful as ballet really is, it's more of a spam of random movement – then she crossed her arms looking at Nagihiko expectantly. Nagihiko smiled at her and started to sing.
Listen to me girl,
I'll do all that for you,
Never let go of you,
Hold you forever…
I've fallen for you…
Ever since the day we met.
Even if you don't believe me…
I'm still telling the truth.
Rima held out her hand in the 'whatever, talk to the hand' style and then turned to face Nagihiko properly. She hopped p and down twice the pointed at Nagihiko. She cocked her head to one side and then started to quickly sing the lyrics.
Why can't I tell you?
Why am I holding back?
Why am I like this?
I'm trying to say I hate you…
But I just can't say it aloud!
You're like a…
Thorn in my heart,
That I can't remove!
You're like an angel that dropped into my life.
You sunk into my shield of darkness,
You lit up my lonely hole.
Like a magic flame,
That just won't die out!
Could this be love?
No it cannot!
I know that I hate you,
But why can't I tell you?
Rima rolled her eyes in annoyance and Nagihiko walked up to her. He grabbed her hand and put it to his chest. Nagihiko then started to sing AGAIN!
This is true love,
Trust me my girl,
Whoever decided that,
I'll be your girl?
Every time we're near each other,
A wonderful blessing of darkness,
Shrouds around us,
Isn't it wonderful,
Not communicating at all?
You maybe thinking that,
But your coldness breaks my heart!
Why can't you be nicer?
Girl I love you!
The way you look at me,
It's so warm and welcoming,
Yet… I'm trying to tell you I hate you!
Oh my goodness,
You're like a…
Thorn in my heart,
That I can't remove!
You're like an angel that dropped into my life.
You sunk into my shield of darkness,
You lit up my lonely hole.
Like a magic flame,
That just won't die out!
You're like a…
Thorn in my heart, (thorn in my heart)
That I can't take out!
You're like an angel that dropped into my life. (Angel)
You sunk into my shield of darkness,
You lit up my lonely hole.
Like a magic flame,
That just won't… die… out…!
"Yeah…Whooo!" Ryoko said sarcastically, and the results showed onto the screen.
Nagihiko looked at Rima once they got home and Koneko went over to Saaya's dorm. He was pouting. And his eyes looked as innocent as an evil bunny rabbit that will kill you in ten seconds flat.
"Rima-chan," he started.
"Yes?" Rima asked.
"Can I have my present now?" he asked.
"You don't got no present." Rima hissed.
Silence. Rima started thinking.
"Please?" Nagihiko asked.
"No." Rima replied.
"PLEASE!?" Nagihiko begged.
"You're so annoying." Rima snarled.
Rima started thinking again… ping~! A random idea popped into her mind.
"Can I have my pres-" Nagihiko was cut off by Rima pushing him against the wall.
She kissed him. Hard. It wasn't a normal peck on the cheek; she kissed him on the lips. Nagihiko couldn't help but think why the kiss was so passionate yet Rima acted as if she hated him. But all of his thoughts washed away the moment Rima tangled her fingers in his hair. He wrapped his arms around her waist and then licked her lower lip asking for entrance. The kiss continued for about fifteen minutes – oh yes, ONLY fifteen MINUTES – and Rima finally pulled away.
"How's that for a birthday present?" she asked.
"That, was the best present I ever received in my life!" Nagihiko replied.
Ryoko – Kawaii Ne?
Rima – No… -blushes-
Amu, Yuka, Utau, and Saruwatari-chan – KAWAIII!!
Saruwatari Ryoko and Ryoko - We do not own You Belong with Me – Taylor Swift or Welcome to Wherever You are – Ten Second Epic, but we do own Thorn in My Heart – Saruwatari Ryoko.
