" If we win, Nanami will quit being STARISH's composer, and will become HEAVEN's composer instead!"

HEAVENS SONG

STARISH SONG

Wow! Both songs were so powerful and amazing! I hope STARISH wins! I thought to myself as I turned my attention back to the announcer. " And the Uta Pri Award goes to..." I listened intently and watched the members of STARISH. But what if HEAVENS won? I dismissed the thought before I could dwell on it. Of course STARISH would win. They had too! I was trembling in anticipation. I was so focused on the stage that I didn't see the shadow that left out of the concert hall. That shadow... Would change every thing.

The announcer had just gotten an update on the score. It seems one more vote was made. He smiled. Now the score wouldn't be confusing. He turned to the audience. "And the Uta Pri Award goes to..."

"HEAVENS!"

I stood up shocked. I saw the shocked looks on the members of STARISH. Looking at the score, My eyes widen.

STARISH:51460

HEAVENS:51461

So close! We almost won! But... Almost wasn't good enough. I sat down again. " now what would happen?!" The condition of both groups singing a song I wrote, was... The loosing group was to disband. And STARISH... lost... I couldn't believe it. STARISH would disband... And I... Would have to become HEAVEN's composer.

*Flashback*

"I look forward to working with you!" I start Walking back from the room. I started up the stairs. " huh?" I look Up. The members of HEAVENS were walking down the stairs in front of me. "hehehe. Meeting you now must be fate. Good." "uhh.." I take a half step back as Eiichi's face came close to my own. "How does it feel to wait for the dissolution of STARISH?" Eiichi smirked. "After all, we're going to win. Right Kira?" Nagi said with a smile. "yes." Kira agreed. "And you'll happily become our composer. Isn't that great?" Eiichi went on. "excuse me." I was carrying a heavy box and I didn't want to talk to HEAVENS right now. I slid sideways trying to get past Eiichi. "Hold on." Nagi intercepted me." "don't be like that. Come with us, and we'll let you watch us rehearse." Eiichi smirked and chuckled. "please move." I didn't want to talk to them right now. " you look great when you're upset." Eiichi grabbed my shoulder. " come with us. We'll show you a fantastic dream." something about the way he looked at me for a second, stopped me from protesting immediately.

" Stop acting so disgracefully. " a voice called out.

" Kurosaki-senpai!" I exclaim.

"Kurosaki Ranmaru." Nagi says "Settle your matters through song!" Ranmaru calls down at HEAVENS. Smiling, Eiichi speaks. "Things have already been settled." "See you later!" Nagi calls as he walks past me along with the rest of HEAVENS. "come on, lets get this rehearsal done." Nagi tells them.

I look up at Ranmaru. " Kurosaki-Senpai. Um..."

"hurry up and go." he tells me. I bow to him. "Thank you very much! Goodbye." I run past him.

"Wait."

I stop and turn. "What are friends to you?"

"what?" I smile then reply. "to me, friends are people who feel each others passion up close." He turns to look at me.

"who will be awarded the Uta prince award? will it be the top new idol group, and favorite, HEAVENS? Or will it be STARISH, who came into the limelight like a comet? You don't want to miss this battle!

Tomo , who was sitting next to me, suddenly pumped her fist in the air. " yay! STARISH! You can do it!"

" whats this? Raging Otori, and Shining Saotome!" the announcer boomed." The presidents of both agencies have arrived! The time has come to settle their long standing feud!"

" lets go saotome. Give up! Come, HEAVENS! The greatest warriors of music! Raging storm!"

HEAVENS started their performance.

"a-amazing..." their performance!

Back in the waiting room, STARISH was amazed as well. " that was surprising, wasn't it, Hyuga san?" " I had no idea they were this good. Their scorching singing still burns my skin." "HEAVENS has shown us something truly unbelievable!" " how can they be this good?" - asks. "Its hard to believe they are amateurs." Camus relied. " They've grown even stronger than before." Ai remarked. I looked at Eiichi. My eyes widened. He was looking at me... And chuckling! I remembered what he said earlier.

*Flashback*

"And you'll happily become our composer" "Come with us. We'll show you a fantastic dream."

*End of flashback*

Ringo walks out on stage. "good morning everyone! Reporter Tsukimiya Ringo here." "well done HEAVENS. having finished singing first in the stage battle, how do you feel?"

Eiichi snatched the mic out of Ringo's hand. " this is nonsense. Challenging us was foolish. HEAVEN's victory was decided long ago."

Nagi spoke next. "STARISH, you should start thinking of what you want to say when your group is dissolved."

In the waiting room, STARISH watched the TV. " Those guys..." syo was mad.

"wouldn't you rather see us preform instead of this farce, Angels?" Eiichi spoke once more. The crown cheered 'HEAVENS Concert!' Nagi spoke. " that's right. That's what you want to see."

" HEAVENS has already announced their victory. " the announcer said. "STARISH is engaging the overwhelming power of HEAVENS. After their impressive debut song,'maji love 1000%', what will they sing next? Wait and see after this!"

"What's going to happen, Haruka?" Tomo asks, but I'm not there.

"I have to thank you Saotome. That girls song is impressive. To think it could empower HEAVENS so much..." " I am grateful to you as well... Dankeschon for creating a wonderful arrangement for miss nanami's song. Thanks to you, my test was a success! I wanted to see if a special type of wave in miss nanami's songs would disappear with another person's arrangement. I'm pursuing one of the few waves in the world... The Happy Pulse!"

" they're unbelievable."

" I cant believe that was Nanami's song."

"It had such intensity."

I stood behind STARISH.

the door opened to admit HEAVENS. "it" really gloomy in here. Nagi said.

" what are you doing in here?!"

Eiichi smirked and walked in. "we have no more business with you." he walked over to me and grabbed my hand. " We have won. Come with me." " stop!" syo yelled as he slapped Eiichi's hand away from me. "no matter what happens, I will never stop being STARISH's composer!" I spoke defiantly.

"didn't you see us preform? We are the ones who can make the most of your songs. With us and your songs, we can create the greatest music in the world."

" you're wrong. STARISH sings my songs more Wonderfully than anyone else."

"are you saying we cant do it?" I didn't say anything.

"she rejected him. Kira said suddenly.

"Kira, don't put it so bluntly. You've got some nerve, turning down HEAVENS' invitation. Don't come crying to us if you regret it later."

Eiichi spoke again." Interesting... If you're sure about that, I look forward you seeing you preform."

STARISH preforms~ They might be able to win!

*The happy pulse takes effect*

Kira smiled. "happy, I'm happy."

"Kira!" Nagi turns. " I think they broke Kira!"

" so this is the power of 2000%... same level as ours..," Eiichi said

. "how... How could such a song exist?" nagi asked.

I was overjoyed! But result time has come!

*End of Flashback*

"I announce the dissolution of STARISH!" Saotome announced.

" wait!" I ran up to HEAVENS. " I... I will become HEAVENS' composer... But don't dissolve STARISH!" I looked at Eiichi with pleading eyes. I didn't know, but he wilted under my pleading gaze.

EIICHI POV

"fine." Somehow... I couldn't say no to her... "we request that STARISH not be dissolved."

... The request was granted...

But Raging Otori had one last trick up his sleeve. "I have an Announcement to make!" ... "Eiichi and Nanami are now engaged!"

my jaw dropped. So did the members of STARISH, QUARTER NIGHT, Nagi and (surprisingly) Kira. Eiichi looked shocked, confused then, a little happy, (although he didn't show it).

The Uta Pri ended and I went to see STARISH. "hello?" I called nervously. Stepping into the room, I was met with stares. Some sad, shocked and mad. Otoya was the first to break the silence. "Nanami... Why... Why did you protect STARISH from dissolving at the cost of becoming HEAVENS' composer?" "I-I don't want you to dissolve! " I spoke sadly. " Why are you and that Eiichi guy engaged?" Ren asked and everyone held their breath, waiting for my answer. " I don't know... " I answer. Being engaged to him us the last thing I want! QUARTER NIGHT came running in. I was enveloped by strong arms and pulled close. Looking up, I see Ai. "Ai-kun?" I ask nervously. "No!" he shouted suddenly and squeezed me tighter. "Ai-kun... I... Can't ... Breathe..." he loosened his grip on me, and was pulled back by STARISH as the pull me into a group hug. Without a second thought, QUARTER NIGHT, joined in. " we'll catch up to you... We promise!"
