Sorry for the crappy grammer--and the late update...phew...luckily i finished this... anyway enjoy,ne?

A challenge

The six of them stand in the hallway desperately. Azusa sighed; she can't believe that her cousin brother, Jyan Nakano will take part in it. But it can't be help; their family is a famous jazz music band. Of course, they will have a talent on playing instrument.

But Jyan was a different one, he have no talent for playing any of the instrument. But by being force and getting pressure by his mother, he learned the electric guitar. With that, his mother will think that he will win Azusa.

A lot of her relatives hate Azusa, Azusa was very talented in playing electric guitar, and she does process her parents' music genes. A lot of them were envy of her, hatred starting to fill Jyan when every time his mother talks about how great Azusa is.

That really annoys him, he hates her. He wanted to win her. And that's why he keeps on playing the guitar, to win Azusa.

Mio and Ritsu sighed as well, they both thought of last time. Rika and Hisana were supposed to be their friend, but because of one argument...

-Flashback-

Rika and Mio learned the bass guitar together, so does Hisana and Ritsu. The four of them were best friend. They formed a band; they called it, 'Forever'.

It was full of meaning in that name, friends forever they think. But until...

"Mio-chan!"

"Rika?" Mio lift her head up, her ocean blue eyes meet the nature green ones. And it was furious.

"Did you participate in another band contest without me and Hisana?"

"Y-Yes... Rika..."

"How dare you Akiyama Mio!" Rika slapped Mio face as hard as she could. Her tears fell out, it drop on the hard solid floor, so does Mio.

"Ouch!" Mio cried, she hold up her left hand, she thinks she starches her hand. And with this, she can't play the bass guitar for one week. And the contest was this week!

Ritsu came in. She was shocked what happened inside Mio room. "Mio!" She called out. Bringing her up to her feet.

"Why do you do that for!?" Ritsu shouted at Rika, Hisana came in as well; she heard what Ritsu shouted from the outside. She rushed to Rika side.

"Both of you're liars!" Rika shouted at Ritsu and Mio, who is now crying. Ritsu try to comfort her, she shouted back, "What liars you mean!?"

"You and Mio participate in a contest without us! You're so selfish!"

"R-Rika, I-I can explain..."

Mio cried, she tried to explained to the two furious friends, but it was worthless. Hisana was also shocked by the explosive news, they were abandoned. Such friends they are.

"There's no need to explain. We are leaving!" Hisana and Rika picked up their instrument and their coats.

A big bang was heard from the door. Mio cried harder, Ritsu sighed. "I-I tried to explain... it was meant to be a surprise..."

"Mio..." Ritsu pat her shoulder softly. Since then, both of them moved away. Mio and Ritsu never attend that contest. Their band was like never exist before...

-End of Flashback-

Mio sighed again. Tsumugi sighed as well; she never thought she'll be here. It was a long time she hadn't meet Yuri as well. She was also her friend; everything broke out when her parents started that conservation.

-Flashback-

"It can't be, Tsumugi is making friend with a plain citizen?"

Tsumugi mother's voice rang loudly beside her ears. Not noticing Yuri was just outside the door, listening every thing they said.

"Mama, Yuri isn't a bad girl..."

"Tsumugi, you know who you are? You are a milady! And you are our only child."

"Mama, I know that, but..."

"No buts, Tsumugi! Send her home and stop being friend with her. Look at her, poor and dirty. Bring her out from this house!"

"Mama..."

Click, the door opened slowly. There standing a short brownish red hair girl, with tears in her eyes.

"Yuri-chan..."

"It's okay. I understand. You are the milady; I'm just a... nothing."

Yuri dashed out the room, Tsumugi tried to chased her back, but was stopped by her mother.

Yuri never shown up again... never...

-End of Flashback-

Sawako sensei sighed as well, she thinks back. She might have been rude to her when she was fifteen. Teenagers, girls, will do anything to win a boy...

She wanted that guy so much, much more then anything else. She can change for him, more wilder, more and more. But she was the one who get in her way, she challenge her, win, you get, lose, get lost.

Kimioko Nagata was her classmate; she doesn't know her very well. Kimioko joins the Keion music club when she was fifteen, same age as Sawako sensei. Both of them were guitarist, from that day, they became friends.

Sawako was the first one to declared her love to the boy she love, the boy reject, he said he likes girl which is wild. That stabbed Sawako's heart, wild she thinks... She can change; she can be wild for him... Until...

-Flashback-

"I-I..." The words were just like it stuck inside her throat, she clenches her fist, her short reddish brown hair was blown according to the wind, before she could said anything, the boy cut off her sentences.

"I-I, I love you, Nagata-san!" The boy cheek blush a little, his arm was on Kimioko arms. Kimioko blushed, she was happy, she leaped on his arm. From far, Sawako clenches her fist harder. 'Damn you Kimioko!' She thought.

In the music room, Sawako slammed the door opened. She shouted, "Kimioko!"

Kimioko, who was now tuning her guitar stood up quickly, she knew that voice, and this doesn't sound good. Kimioko turn to Sawako, the other band members walk away from the room, now, there were only she and the angry Sawako.

"S-Sawako, w-what..."

Before she can finish her sentences, Sawako strong palm landed right on Kimioko's cheek. Kimioko pressed her cheek, she can taste blood in her mouth now.

"Why do you snatch him away? I was the one confessed to him first!"

"S-Sawako... It's because..." Kimioko take a deep breath. She stood up, she look at Sawako. "Because he loves me..."

That word was just like cooking oil, pouring into a very hot pot. She grinned, then she grab Kimioko's collar up. "Why don't we compete? If you win, fine, you'll have him... But if you lose, get lost from this school and never come back!"

The competition went on wild between them, of course, they kept it as a secret from the boy. Everyone knows, Sawako will definitely win, with her brilliant skills and her look, she will win anyway.

Kimioko's guitar skills was just moderate, she looks cute as well, but the chances of winning is very low. Then, before the night both of them compete, Sawako cheated. She change Kimioko's guitar string into a less quality one, that way, when she plays her guitar, until the half way the strings will all torn out. (Her guitar was in the music room before Kimioko leave. And in the moment Sawako was changing her guitar strings, she went to the washroom which was quite far away from the music room.)

The day they compete, Sawako was the first to play. The students went wild, every one love her song, even though it's a little noisy. When Sawako finished, she walked pass Kimioko with pride, looking down at Kimioko's guitar string, she grinned. The show was just getting started...

Kimioko was playing her song mildly at first, then when it's time to make it wild, the strings betrayed her, it torn and some of the strings yank out from Kimioko's guitar. Kimioko stared and look at her guitar, helplessly. 'How?' she thought.

She remembered she did check the strings, but why now... She turns to the back stage, looking at Sawako evil grin, she understands now, so it's all Sawako's work, her plan!

But no one can proof that Sawako changes Kimioko's string so they declared Sawako as the winner. Kimioko was furious, and then she left. And not much seen her again.

-End of Flashback-

Yui munched on the sweets and cake Mugi bought, she look at her four depressed friends and her very very depressed teacher. And anyway, those peoples must be the cause of this problem. They were the 'wing' band, the band which also mostly focused on light rock song, like them.

"Ne, Mio-chan, Ricchan, Mugi-chan, Azu-nyan, Sawa-chan sensei, what's wrong?"

Mio look at Yui, giving Yui a sad smile, she replied. "Yui-chan, you were so lucky."

"Lucky?" Yui was confused, she munched another cookies.

"Aah, aah... Yui-Chan's really, really lucky. You have fewer enemies..." Ritsu smiled, she cupped Yui's cheek.

"Enemy?" Yui head popped to a side.

"So, can we call that as a challenge?" Azusa said. She was ready to challenge ANYONE. She looked at the other four. Ritsu looked at Mio and grinned, she let a thumb up, Mio and Tsumugi nodded as well. Well, that's what competition for anyway.

Sawako sensei was eager and she can almost set the whole studio in fire. "Okay! After School Tea Time, let's fight till your head drops!"

All of them have a sweat drop, "We didn't want to involve something so violent..." Five of them said together.

The results came out and they made it to the semi finals, so does the 'wing' band. They all take a deep breath, yes; they will win them for sure!

Okay, i know it's a crappy ending for this but...plz forgive me!!!i'm running chap13 eh!!!! ENJOY!!!
