Still faraway

"And the fifth place goes to..."

Everyone hold their breath, the Keiron music club was trembling hard, please oh Kami! They must proceed to the final round! For the sake of Budokan!

"Congratulations! After School Tea Time!"

They're not illumining, they're not dreaming, they're not... Hey stop that! They are qualified! QUALIFIED! Did oh Kami-sama hear what they say? They are really in heaven now!

"The forth place goes to... XOXO Band!"

A shout from their back and that scares Mio's soul out her body. "Ah! Mio-chan's soul is flying away!" shouted Yui and Ritsu.

"Third place goes to Metallic Band!"

Another shout came from somewhere, clashing and banging can be heard. The girls covered their ears with their hands. "Second goes to... chibi cute band!"

"And first place goes to..."

Everyone holds their breath; the five of them hope that the wing band will flunk. But oh-Kami-sama didn't hear their thoughts then...

"Wing band! Congratulations all top five bands; you were preceded to the finals!"

The five of them soon find them back to hell again; the wing band's the first place! How come? It's true they didn't practice for this song but... Why?

The wing band members walked passed them, giving them their winning look, Mrs. Kimioko grins at Sawako sensei and walk off with her band, left the light music club, feeling there were nothing but darkness instead of light.

The five of them went home quietly; Yui's the first one who reaches her house, her family's back from out station. They sat down quietly together and eat in silent, until Ui broke the silence.

"Mama, one-chan had just participated in a band competition."

"Wow, that's good news! Yui-chan..."

Yui rubbed her head slightly and back to her eating, after that she finishes, she rushes upstairs while she grab a bag full of junk foods. She closes the door, she look at her cell phone, 'Should she call the others?'

Azusa dried her hair with her pink towel and sat down her bed, with the towel still hanging on her head. Her door came a knock, she look up and said softly, "Yes?"

"Your cousin Jyan's here..." Azusa stunned. 'Jyan!' She thinks as her fist curls into a ball shape. Something inside her just snap, but then she took a deep breath. 'Just be cool, Azusa... You can face him without any war...'

She walked out from her room, she combs her hair while she throws her towel into the laundry box, and she walked down stairs. There stood Jyan and his family, while his mother was boasting how good her son did at the competition, Azusa's parents just sit there and listen.

Azusa walked towards her parents, she called her aunt with a low tone, she mostly hate when her aunt starts to boasting around with Jyan's musical stuffs, it annoy her so MUCH!

"Oh Azusa Chan..." Her aunt called out to her, Azusa just simply ignored her and sat beside her mother. Her aunt also ignored her, she continues her boasting. "My son got first place in a band competition; I heard your daughter is in the competition, what position she gets?"

Azusa gulped, if she told them her current position, her parents will be mad at her... What to do... "She got fifth..."

Azusa almost shot out from her sofa, her mother answered that, and she doesn't looks angry... And wait! How she knows that she got fifth in the competition...

"Mom...?" Azusa looked worry, did her mother watched her performing from somewhere all the time, or what? Her aunt seems surprised, but Azusa knew under her heart she's laughing at her, yeah, she, Azusa, lost to Jyan, that's a miracle for them!

"Oh my gosh, is that true Azusa?" Her aunt looks at her, Azusa turned away from her aunt, nodded slightly. Azusa swears, she saw her aunt grins but in just a few seconds, she turns back into her 'worry' expression...

"Oh, it's too bad Azusa... You could win Jyan easily since you're the famous band's daughter..." Azusa grunted and dashes upstairs. Even though her parents show no reaction towards her competition, but her heart aches. She loses to Jyan, for the first time... It's the Keion music club too poor compared to the wing band? Or it's just entirely her problem.

Azusa locked herself in the room, she sighed. The next few days the five of them looks down. Mio still thinking hard for their next song, Ritsu not paying attention at class, Yui munching the cakes and muffins Tsumugi bought to school, Azusa practices hard everyday, during break time and after school.

The girls decided to have an outing to release their stress, too much stress will make the song sounds bad, and maybe Mio can think well in a different environment... They're having picnic in the garden nearby, Yui and Ritsu play ball together, Tsumugi was serving tea, Mio was thinking their new songs and Azusa still practices by reading their scores.

"Ne, Azu-nyan..." Azusa turns to Yui. "I don't hav..."

A cake's pushed inside Azusa's mouth; she soon swallowed it and makes a face I want more... Yui giggles and picks another cake for her. Mio looks at them and sighed, then she focused back to her job. Ritsu seems disappointed...

"Oi, Mio. We come here to RELEASE stress; you're just piling up more stress like this..." Ritsu snorted, Mio glared at her. "If you can think me a new lyrics then I won't be sitting here thinking right now... Plus, this's going to be our final round... I want to write the best lyrics..."

Ritsu rethink and sighed, she can't change Mio's mind that easily, she kneels beside Mio. "So, what kind of lyrics you want?"

Mio looked up to the sky, yeah, if she wants to write a lyric, she needs a theme... Mostly the songs before related to high school student's love, freedom. She wants something new, something that can suits them the most, and she's planning that for the finals, Yui's going to be the main vocal, and the other four will be sub vocal.

"High school life isn't that bad right?" Ritsu said as she lay on the grass, gazed up the sky like Mio did. Suddenly Mio thought of something.

"That's it!"

"What's it?" Ritsu asked, she turns her head towards Mio. Mio was hugging her so tight Ritsu almost loses her breath. "S-stop it! I-I can't b-breathe!"

"Sorry..." Mio rubs her head as an apology. "I got it."

"A new idea for the next song?"

"Yeah. It's going to be us!"

"Us?"

Azusa, Yui and Tsumugi proceeded nearer to Mio; they three too heard what Mio and Ritsu said. Mio stood up and announced like a proud queen. "I got a new idea for our next song! It's going to be about us!"

"About us?" Ritsu speaks and her eyes' shining bright. Azusa was amaze, luckily Yui-sempai suggested we should release our stress and all of them agreed. And thanks to the fresh air, Mio-sempai thought something good for their song and they release their stress too.

"It sounds fun." Tsumugi said, Yui nodded her head with agreement. "So, shall we help you with the lyrics, Mio-sempai?"

"Mio smiled, the five of them had fun that day singing and thinking new lyrics for their song. It's basically like writing what they want or what they did during their high school life. Even though it's still faraway to achieve their aim, but they'll work hard. And one day, they'll be standing on top of Budokan.
