If one was asked to describe Ryota Kise, the first thing they'd say is not that he's a member of the currently known as the "strongest" squad in the Elite Division, but the first thing they'd say is that he's completely obsessed with being noticed.

Yes, the cheerful, bubbly, noisy and whiny Communications Head of Elite Squad 1 always wanted to be noticed. It didn't matter how; he just wanted you to direct your attention to him.

On the days that the squad had their day-off or simply had no mission assigned yet, he'd spend every minute trying to make a ridiculous and pointlessly long conversation with any of his teammates, though he never succeeded in making a conversation longer than 3 minutes with the top four, with their own reasons each:

Akane Seijuro – since she's the captain, she's supposed to be busy with paper work. Instead, she spends her day-offs and free time scaring people who pass in the north wing of the team's building. And whenever you want to talk to her about something, you'd always end up running away because the only thing she wants to talk to you about is that she wants to put her sword in your heart.

Shintaro Midorima – since he's the Lieutenant, he should be the one doing the minor paperwork, but he insists on doing all of Akane's work because she is too engrossed in making everyday a Halloween. On top of that, he's really scary especially if you break his porcelain tea cup collections that are supposed to give him luck. The only thing he'd tell you is that he wants to break you in half for interrupting his work time.

Tetsuya Kuroko – quiet and overly confident heir to the noble family Kuroko. He doesn't talk much, but he can come up with millions of insults if you put Shintaro in front of him (why do they hate each other anyway?). If you ask to start a conversation with him, he'd just put his Black Blade inches away from your throat and ask you if you like Akane. It would be wise to swear on your life that you don't like her even a bit.

Satsuki Momoi – boyish genius sniper and strategist that somehow ends up in a relationship with the boy that she is irritated at. It's just, what kind of girlfriend punches her boyfriend square in the face when he tries to be sweet in public? And if you try to talk to her, she'd shove a mountain of papers in your face so that you can occupy yourself with something. A wise man will agree to do it if you don't want a sniper rifle in your face.

And the only choices left are his rival Daiki and the sweet loving giant Atsushi. He didn't want to talk to Daiki, they'd probably yell at each other all day. As for Atsushi… well, he'd just recommend diners that serve the finest food.

Besides being a famous Genesis, he was also popular for being really cute and good-looking. And since Pure Blood girls were far wilder than human girls, if you were popular and went out, there's a 50% chance you'd die because of the crowd. This is the exact reason why Satsuki always left him in the house and never let him go out unless there's a mission.

Today was a really unfair day. They were given a mission but he was left behind, so he had no choice but to stay indoors. "Ah, nothing to do…" Ryota sighed as he walked to the kitchen, reaching for the cookie jar on the cupboard. He put his hand in, but found that it was empty. "Eh? We're out of cookies? I guess that means I have to go out and-"

"Ryota, don't you dare step out of that door."

"HIEEEE!" He shrieked as Satsuki's threatening voice echoed in his head. He began trembling and sweating so much that his uniform's collar got wet. 'W-what should I do? We're out of cookies so I definitely have to go out to buy some… but Satsuki-chi will definitely get angry and skin me alive if she sees me outside, still… their mission will last two days, so it won't hurt to go disguised right?' He told himself.

Wow - where am I going to go？I dunno if regular clothes will work out...
Ahh, everything's getting given up this afternoon...

Wow - if I wear those tall heels, it'll be a little hard to walk
So I'll just throw on this hood, and try not to be found out...

After a while, he decided to sneak into Tetsuya's room and borrow one of his hooded jackets (the guy's addicted with wearing jackets over the long-sleeved uniform, he even has a separate closet for them!). He stealthily exited the door and looked around before running towards the gate. With a shaky hand, he pulled it open and peeked to see if his pink haired watcher was anywhere in sight. He sighed in relief when he saw no sign of her. He happily skipped towards the market and successfully bought a bag of their favorite cookie.

"Now all I have to do is go back home and pretend nothing happened!"

In the shopping district, through back alleys
Ah, my heart is kind of starting to pound...

Suddenly, the wind blows, lifts my hood, and I'm the center of attention;
"...I guess I'm not having a regular weekend after all..."

Unfortunately for him, someone ran into him and fell back, the hood covering head falling off. "I'm so sorry! Wait, aren't you Ryota Kise?" The person who bumped into him said. "Oh my god, it really is Ryota Kise!" After hearing his name, girls flocked around him. 'Uwaa! I knew that it was a bad idea to go out without the team!' He mentally screamed. Luckily for him he was specially trained to run at a speed faster than the normal rate for emergency situations.

It's so harsh, I want to give up - sure, you give me a full house,
But it really makes me blue; so I get anxious - I really stand out...
It's so harsh, I want to run away - that's what I start to hope for.
"Don't look at me anymore!" ...But I stuff the words away in my pocket.

It has been exactly half an hour since Ryota started running away from his flock of fans (which seemed to increase in number every street he passed). He was glad he got along with everyone, but this was too much. 'Now that I notice… I am too popular nowadays!' He told himself.

He was proclaimed a member of Elite Squad 1 at the age of 13 like his "friends". Though unlike them, he wasn't mean or a war-freak or fate obsessed, he was just a crybaby who cried and whined about everything. He even landed last place during the all-member ranking match, and he wasn't even in the arena for 10 minutes. Worst, it was Daiki who had knocked him right out of the game. He really envied Akane and Shintaro; they got to be Captain and Lieutenant while he was left with handling communications. Sometimes Ryota wondered how nearly all of the girls in the kingdom adored him despite being the team's weakest member.

"I wish they'd just let me off normally even if it's just a day!" He wanted to scream out, but he just put his hands in the jacket's pocket, discarding the thought.

Wow - for such a long time, I've sort of caught people's attention,
and I started getting used to even that...

Wow - I've heard it before, but I can't exactly seem to remember...
"Argh, geez! My constitution sucks!" But of course, I didn't ever say it...

The blonde haired Pure Blood sat in the middle of a quiet green field. He picked up a small stone beside him and stared at it.

"How long was it since they began chasing me…?"

He could vaguely remember that it began a few months before his early graduation. Girls everywhere were screaming "marry me" and things like that. They didn't know that he had a crush on the princess's cousin, and when they found out, they became more desperate and began chasing him around whenever they saw him. He was saved from his fans multiple times by Akane, and Satsuki suggested they lock him up in the house, an idea which everyone agreed to.

"Geez, this sucks!"

Ryota shouted as he threw the rock. It hit another rock and came flying back, hitting him in the face.

"Man, can this day get any worse?"

As the streets switch into panic,
It just makes me want to give up on being an idol...

"To think it would be like this..." But I thought so foolishly and simply then,
And I planned out my dreams in the glare of the stage lights...

Thanks to his enhanced hearing, he could hear voices shouting his name. 'They're probably panicking because I suddenly teleported myself out of there,' He told himself. He remembered the day he was notified of his early graduation…

"Ryota Kise of Class B, you have been offered early graduation. It is up to you if you will take it or continue your studies, but I suggest that you accept it. Your friends have accepted the same offer you have been given."

'Now I remember that I took the offer only because they accepted it…' He told himself. 'I never really thought about how difficult the job would be,'

It's so harsh, but I can't say it - I'm drowned in cheering, but...
"Am I really that good...？" I'm just a bore - I don't get it!
It's so harsh, I want to vanish - but I can't speak up
"No. You're making me cry..." But I bury away the words in my pocket...

One of the many jobs a Genesis has to do is risk your life out in the open and take in pain and ignore all feelings of mercy. The one rule of a Genesis was to never have mercy for the enemy, no matter how pitiful looking.

"Even though I'm a member of Elite Squad 1, am I really good enough to be in it…?" He mumbled. Tears started to form in his eyes.

...You can't do this anymore; you hear the cheering, don't you？
The things you dreamed of are already right in front of you...
If it's "harsh," then change it - you know you're not alone!
Now say it - and no need to sound too stylish...

As a kid, he had always wanted attention since his mother had already passed away. He had worked hard to be in the top ten just so that people would cheer for him whenever he was in the arena.

Now, he had all of those - fellow Genesis who feared him, cheered for him during missions, people who watched his back… but lately he felt that having people cower in fear when he was angry was a bit harsh.

"Are you stupid or what? We're not a team for nothing!"

Akane would say something like that if she saw him like this, although she had a point. They weren't a team for nothing – he wasn't alone because he had all of his friends.

Ahh, I think I can do it! I feel like my heart's going to burst,
It's overflowing so much; so can I steal yours away？!
This "dream" is packed to the brim with all that I want to say...
So don't take your eyes off it! And so tomorrow, let's keep skipping ahead!

Ryota came out to the street with his head down. The noise from his fan girls had suddenly died down when they saw him. Instead of the demonic aura they expected, he smiled brightly.

"Say, can I please go home? Satsuki-chi would get mad at me!"

One day later—

Akane and the team came home a day earlier than expected. Daiki brought Ryota a dragon claw as some sort of [insulting] gift from a rival.

"What am I supposed to do with a dragon claw anyway?!"

"I don't know… kill yourself with it?"

Ryota sighed in annoyance and threw the dragon claw out of the window. He suddenly noticed that Akane had a lot of patches on her face.

"Akane-chi, what happened to your face?"

"Akane had foolishly brought all of the cookies along to our trip. She had to be punished for her mistake."

'Shintaro-chi is truly merciless!' He mentally screamed. Since then, no one dared touch the cookie jar before going to a mission, or leave Ryota at home without someone to watch him.

I recently listened to Maika's song (Spanish vocaloid) and she became my new inspiration for writing song-fics. I've decided maybe I'll make it into a mix of song-fics normal story format ^_^
