Bleach Star

Chapter Eight– Just Maybe

Inoue, along with Tatsuki, was singing the chorus of the second song that DYNA was performing. Lyrics weren't hard for her to memorize since she was also Sun.

"And we're trying to keep it all inside but this thing wants to guide, I can't control my own feet, it's this rhyme that's telling us to meet….."

"Hey! I'm hungry going to get something before Sun Hime and Moto come on!" Rukia shouted over the singing.

"Hey! good idea I'm going with, you guys please keep our spot." Tatsuki said to the others. 'Coming Inoue?"

Inoue shook her head and continued to sing.

"Ok, see you guys in a bit."

Tatsuki and Rukia stepped down and disappeared in the crowd leaving just the rest.

"I think I like this band."

Inoue looked at Renji and shook her head. He was pretty sure that he wasn't at all talking about the music. Shee knew Renji's eyes were glued onto the lead singer the girl that Sun met backstage.

"I'm sure you do." Ishida replied, then snickered along with the other guys.

Inoue was having such a great time, she found her body doing just like in the song swaying to the beat. She was trained in dancing of course but this was different. She wasn't doing a routine she practiced continuously for a video or a performance. She was just like every other kid that was there to enjoy the music. Music that wasn't hers. Still singing Inoue danced forgetting everyone around, it just her and the music.

Ichigo liked the band too. For a completely different reason than Renji, he was sure. The atmosphere was perfect. The music was loud enough to drown out his thoughts and that made it easier to keep up his façade.

"This isn't so bad." Renji replied with huge grin on his face.

"You are so sad." Ichigo stated,

"No, I just have eyes that's all."

Ichigo shook his head and turned to see Inoue.

"I have eyes too." He muttered quietly surprising himself.

She was amazing. Sure, he had seen girls dance before but she wasn't just dancing. She wasn't even there. Her body was just moving to the beat and her lips moving to match every word in the song. He remembered the time on roof when Tatsuki and Rukia were talking about the Mix Cd. She didn't seem to like singing much but there she was; a girl in an element all her own. Ichigo looked quickly to his side to see if Renji noticed but he was still ogling the vocalist of Dyna. Was he ogling Inoue he wondered?. He didn't think so, he was watching a girl that wasn't hiding anything. She still hid her eyes but that was physical. He wondered why she hid them. They weren't ugly at all and not nearly as bold as his hair. He didn't hide physically but she did and she didn't hide emotionally but he did. Ichigo wasn't so sure if that made sense. Running his hand through his hair he sighed.

"WE"RE NOW GOING TO PERFORM OUR LAST SONG FOR THE NIGHT!"

Just like the song ended Inoue did. She looked onstage then through the mall to the exit. Her eyes met Ichigo's in a pained way.

"Ummm…I'll be back soon."

"Where you headed?"

"Umm…uhh…outside…I have to call my sister…and I can't hear anything in here." Inoue stammered out,

"To go all the way out there and back you'll never make it back before they introduce Sun and Moto." Ichigo replied,

"I know but I really not that big a fan of them."

"Oh…want me to come with?"

"You don't have to." Inoue replied,

"Are you going somewhere Ichigo? Cause if you are I want a burger." Renji butted in.

"You guys could have asked Tatsuki." Ichigo replied, "Money?"

"Don't you own me from last time?" Renji asked,

"Renji-"

"I'll like a burger too with a soda if that's ok Ichigo." Ishida added,

"I'll just have fries."

Inoue smiled as Ichigo glared at all his friends.

"You all owe me."

"Such a good friend Tiki Torch."

"Let's go." He said to Inoue after shooting another glare to the others.

"Uh…yeah."

"WE"RE GOING TO SLOW IT DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT! A NEW SONG CALLED JUST MAYBE. HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE!"

"I thought you didn't like singing?"

"Huh?"

"I said thought you didn't like to sing?"

"Um..oh…well this is a really good band."

I've searching for something that I didn't even know that I was searching for

"Been to many concerts?" Ichigo asked,

Inoue looked amused as she answered, "Yea, a few."

And I'll keep on looking till I find it 'cause this is all I want to know

Ichigo took his eyes of her for a second as he navigated through a section of the crowd. When he looked back she was gone.

"Inoue!"

And I'll pray that you're looking for me too cause if not it'll break me

"Inoue!" Turning Ichigo pushed his way to where he last saw her; he couldn't see her at all. It was like the crowd just ate her.

Even so I know I'll be searching on and on till I see your face

"Inoue! Excuse me, move! Oi!" Ichigo was fighting against the crowd now because no one wanted their spot to be taken.

This is unbelievable. He thought.

You see I want to live this dream that I been having, a dream that we could be

She was just here.

He then spotted a pink hoodie in the distance, he couldn't see her face but her behavior gave her away. She was twirling around anxiously trying to gather her bearings in the huge crowd. In the battle of her against the crowd she was losing.

So if you hold my hand when I reach out to you, then maybe, maybe just maybe

"How did she get so far so fast?" he muttered to no one in particular.

Shaking his head, he pushed harder past the crowd and squeezed himself through every available space and there were hardly any. He kept his eyes on Inoue hoping that she wouldn't just disappear again.

We could be, what I see, deep within me, and I can say to the world to day

"Inoue! Inoue!"

She turned and sheer relief swept across her face then she attempted to pry through the masses desperately.

I found you and you found me and together is what we'll be, forget the maybes

In a minute Ichigo was by her side and he looked down at her as he held her hand,

"Where did you go?" he watched as her eyes lingered on their hands.

"Um…uh…sorry…I just lost you."

"Well, it won't happen again, let's go."

Leading the way again this time hand in hand, he walked as quickly as he could trying to ignore the lyrics the vocalist was repeating.

I found you and you found me and together is what we'll be, forget the maybes

It is all just coincidence, forget the song.

That was the thought that was Inoue was forcing through her mind endlessly for four minutes after Ichigo found her and held her hand.

He's just making sure I don't get lost again, that's all!

She looked at the hands again then wish she hadn't because if he turned and looked her face would be red for sure.

Snap out of it Inoue!

She, then began just singing along to Dyna when she remembered that they were performing their last song. Glancing ahead she saw the huge exit and the dark of the night. She didn't want to go, she didn't want to let go but she had to.

"Ichigo, thanks but I have to make that call." She said slipping her hand gently but swiftly out his.

"Um are you sure? I can-"

"I'm sure, meet you later." waving quickly she rushed out to the door. It was easier since this crowd was smaller towards the door.

As soon as the wind hit her, she let out a breathe of relief and pulled out her phone just incase. Just then it vibrated.

"Hello?"

"Where the hell are you? I said half an hour." Moto blared through the phone,

"I know." With a click, Inoue hung up and ran to the alley.

Running all the way she stopped barely in front Toushiro.

"Quick get in."

In she went and off everything Inoue went and on was everything Sun. She took up the mirror and saw her face, just a touch of lipgloss like Inoue would have liked it.

"Oh no, my face."

Then she remembered the conversation with Toushiro earlier.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't do this, I can't be two people." Inoue choked out.

"You're Sun Hime and Inoue, you already are two people." He stated,

"Matsumoto was right."

"Maybe but you haven't tried to prove her wrong."

It wasn't much of an inspirational speech but she remembered it. She was two people. Each of them knew the other in and out and knew how to be the other. She had seen numerous make-up artist worked on her and her sister's face a hundred times. She could do it.

Digging deeper into the compartment she found a makeup kit. Positioning the mirror she started where the woman at Mosaic did and worked her way along as quickly and as carefully as she could. Throwing aside everything, she looked at her reflection and sighed. Just then Toshiro knocked. She stepped out and allowed him to analyze her.

"The shoes."

Gaping she switched back to her boots. "How about now?"

"Nice to have you back Sun. You proved them wrong"

With a smile she entered the mall back in the hallway and into the V.I.P room.

"There she is! Sun hime, you and Moto are on in three minutes." He was the coordinator Sun recognized speaking,

"I'm sorry I got lost."

"Pffft-"

Sun turned to glare at her sister, "Ready for this sis?"

"I always am."

"…HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IT AND HERE IT IS, THE GIRLS WILL COME AND SAY THEIR GREETING BEFORE THEY PREPARED FOR THEIR PERFORMANCE."

Someone directed them out the V.I.P room and to the stairs that lead to the stage. It was hidden so no one could see them enter. There were two, Moto were directed to the ones on the left and Sun to the ones on the right. From across Moto flashed her sis a huge smile and Sun flashed one back. She was fully Sun Hime and she was excited.

"Ready?" asked a crew member,

"Yes!"

Moto replied the same from her end and the MC was given the signal.

"HERE WE HAVE IT JI MALL, A TOTAL DYNAMIC DUO IF THERE WAS EVER ONE! SENSATIONAL SISTERS SONGSTERS PROMOTING THEIR FIRST EVER CONCERT! GIVE IT UP FOR MOTO AND SUN HIME!"

The screams, applause and energy were just surreal. Sun never really got use to it completely but Moto was an all out expert. Walking simultaneously onto stage they both appeared to the crowd. An excited stagehand gave them their customized mics, Sun's yellow and orange and Moto's purple and blue.

"GOOD NIGHT JI MALL!" greeted Moto

The crowd roared.

"HOW'S EVERYBODY DOING?" Sun Hime asked,

The crowd replied with a mixture of screams and answers. Moto and Sun were charged by the crowd's energy and immediately ready to perform. It was power of the stage that changed them from normal people to the stars that they were.

"I GUESS THAT'S GREAT! WE'RE HAPPY TO BE HERE TOO! KANKURA IS GREAT!" Moto said before more screams,

"IT'S SO GREAT TO HAVE ALL OF YOU GUYS HERE!" Sun stated, she was look into the crowd trying to focus and looking for her friends at the same time.

"WELL AS YOU GUYS KNOW WE'RE HEAR PROMOTING OUR FIRST CONCERT EVER!"

More screams.

"IT'S CALLED ONE STAR AT SEA!"

"BECAUSE WE WANT THE CONCERT TO BE A TOTAL SURPRISE TO NIGHT WE WILL NOT SING ANY OF OUR NEW SONGS!"

There were a few boos this time but the screams overruled them. Sun tried to focus and her sister went on about the concert but she couldn't she was searching the crowd for where she was a few minutes ago.

"…THERE WILL BE CHANCES FOR FIVE OF YOU TO WIN TICKETS!" Moto said looking at Sun,

"HOW CAN THEY WIN THESE TICKETS SUN?"

Sun Hime jumped out her search and replied, "BY WRITING US A SONG! YES A SONG THAT ONLY TWO SISTERS COULD SING! EMAIL IT TO US ON OUR OFFICIAL SITE!AND-"

"- THE WINNER TICKETS, BACKSTAGE PASSES AND DAY ON THE TOWN WITH US! COOL ARE WHAT? WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT GUYS!"

"SO WE'RE GOING TO GETTING READY NOW SO HANG ON!"

"AND ENJOY SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC BY TECHNIK!"

With more screams Sun Hime and Moto exited the stage.

"You have an-"

"Half an hour I know." And off Sun was.
