Chapter 1:- Charming & Kind

Opening:- MIRAI TICKET - Aqours

-The sound of thousands of fans cheering and screaming loudly could be heard from outside of the concert building, A group of nine girls were staring at the stage from the side from within the backstage and watched the band of 5 males singing and playing their instruments to the crowd. The girls were amazed at the sight of the band as they were singing and playing their musical instruments perfectly, though the light orange haired girl said nothing as she turned away from the sight of the band and walked away as the other followed. Few days had passed as the girls were in school and were having their break-

Riko: First live concert performance, huh?

You: W-Well.. Uh..Its good though! D-Don't worry, Chika-chan!

Chika: -She had planted her face on the table as she seemed extremely depressed-

You: Getting 2nd place is actually very good! Especially for us!

Riko: You-chan is right, Chika-chan. Stop being so depressed.

Chika: But I...

You & Riko: Hmm?

Chika: -She got up quickly as she seemed irritated as she would then look at You and Riko with an enthusiastic look on her face- You-chan! What's the name of the group that beated us?

You: S-Soul Cry. The band that played right after us. The group of guys.

Chika: Them?! Darn... I gotta admit that their singing and performance was extremely cool!

Riko: Ehehe..

You: Apparently from the judges, we would have gotten first place until Soul Cry came out and started singing and playing-

Riko: We would?

You: That's what they said at first.

Chika: HHHHNNNGGG! This is so annoying! I'm so mad right now!

You: You don't seem mad though. You're saying it but you're not showing that you're angry at all.

Chika: I know.. I'm just a little frustrated that's all.

Riko: You-chan, I'm sure there are listed names of the members of Soul Cry, who are they?

You: Ah right! Let me see here~ -She looked at her phone and checked the names of the band and started reading the names to her friends- The lead singer's name is Tanaka Sei, the drummer's name is Maiko Ren, the keyboardist is Saitou Jun, the bassist is Nishikino Shinji and the guitarist is Iori Sento.

Riko: Saitou Jun? He sounds very familiar..

Chika: N-Nishikino? Where have I heard that name before..?

You: Maybe we should ask Dia-chan if she knows any of them.

Riko: Well, she's knowledgeable about idols and celebrities.

Chika: They may not be idols though.

Riko: I'm just saying.. -The three left their classroom and headed to the student council's office to find Dia along with Mari and Kanan there together-

Kanan: Ah, you three. What's up?

Chika; Dia-chan!

Dia: W-What is it?

Chika: Riko-chan wants to ask you something.

Riko: E-Eh?! W-Why me?!

Chika: Just go~

Riko: Jeez... Well uh..Have you ever heard of Saitou Jun and Nishikino Shinji?

Dia: Yes, I heard of them.

Riko: Eh?! You have? W-Who are they?

Kanan: Saitou Jun is Japan's number 1 competitive card game player, singer and actor.

Mari: Nishikino Shinji-kun is a SHINY MAN!

Dia: Be quiet, Mari-san!

Mari: It's the truth!

You: Shiny man?

Mari: It's a joke~ What I meant was that Nishikino Shinji is the younger brother of Nishikino Maki from µ's.

Chika: µ's?!

Riko: Y-Younger brother of a very popular idol..

Dia: Former idol. We all know that µ's disappeared and stopped a few years ago and no one knows why.

Kanan: Let's just say that they had their own things to do~

Mari: I met Shinji-kun before, by the way~~

You: What is he like?

Mari: He's a gentleman. He's very very tall! He's also very nice and kind~ My type of man~

Dia: Mari-san!

Mari: It's a joke~ -She then whispered to You and the others- It's not~

Kanan: Anyway, what brought this on?

Chika: I wanna beat them!

You: C-Chika-chan?!

Chika: I want a rematch! I want to show them what we are really made of-

Dia: Do not even think about it, Chika-san.

Chika: Eh? W-What do you mean?

Kanan: Soul Cry has been around for nearly a year already and they have been topping every concert tournament since they first formed up. They're still High School students like us but they're more professionally better at performing and singing than we do.

Mari: But Saitou Jun is 22 years old~ He's a working adult who left college to follow his career as an entertainer!

You: Saitou Jun sounds like a very hardworking person.

Dia: He is. Extremely hardworking and kind. There's never once I've seen any news about him getting angry or causing problems at all.

Mari: He's Dia's favourite type of man~ Hardworking and careful~

Dia: B-Be quiet..!

Chika: So we have no chance in beating them..

Riko: I-It's gonna be all right, Chika-chan..

Kanan: Saitou Jun actually has a house here in Uchiura.

Riko: So he lives here then, huh?

Mari: You know the house that's on top of the hill, which is next to my family's hotel? That's his house~ Next to the SHINY HOTEL!

Dia: Be quiet!

Mari: Dia isn't fun~

Dia: Hmph!

Chika: I wanna go find him and talk to him!

Riko: No, we shouldn't.

Chika: Why not?!

Riko: It's rude to barge into someone else's home and ask them questions suddenly.

You: That's right! As members of Aqours! We will be looked down if we did something like that.

Chika: I guess you're right.. By the way, where's Maru-chan and the others?

Dia: Today is the first's years half day. They get to leave the school earlier for today only.

Chika: They're so lucky!

You: We used to have that last year too.

Chika: We're not lucky anymore!

You: Haha. After school, remember to try out the costumes I made, all right?

Riko: Of course.

Dia: Yes.

Mari: Shiny!

Kanan: Sure.

Chika: Okay..

-Hours later once school was done, You, Riko, Dia, Chika, Kanan and Mari were wearing a white silky frilled dress as they were testing the outfits out while Yoshiko, Hanamaru and Ruby were at Tokyo and were playing in the arcade-

-Yoshiko was playing Street Fighter in the arcade and was playing against another player that was at the other side of the machine while Hanamaru and Ruby stood beside Yoshiko and watched her beat the other player in 3 matches in a row-

Ruby: You're so good at this game, Yoshiko-chan!

Hanamaru: As expected of Yoshiko-chan.

Yoshiko: Hehe~ Wait. It's "Yohane"!

Guy: Goddamn.. -A man with a cut beard and tattoos on his arm got up from his seat after playing against Yoshiko, he walked up to her as he seemed extremely irritated by her- Little girl, why don't I rub that smug off of your damn face?

-Ruby got behind Yoshiko as she got afraid-

Yoshiko: The smug on my face? Ha! I Yohane do not smug to mere mortal who knows no morals on how to treat a proper lady!

Guy: This little brat.. -He was about to grab Yoshiko's collar until Hanamaru spread her arms wide open as she got in front of Yoshiko and protected her though she was shaking and looked like she was afraid-

Yoshiko: Z-Zuramaru..

Hanamaru: D-D-Don't hurt, Yoshiko-chan, zura!

Guy: Tsk! Then I'll deal with you first. -The man raised his fist and was about to hit Hanamaru until someone grabbed the man's hand strongly. Hanamaru had her eyes closed as she was afraid but as she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a tall man with long black hair and glasses as he looked handsome and charming just by looking at him-

Ruby: S-Saitou Jun..

Yoshiko: E-Eh?! No way!

Jun: It's sexually abusive if you were to slap a girl in public, you know?

Guy: Huh?! Then how about I raise mine on you!

Sei: Ho~? Is that so? Then how'bout I raise this bat of mine onto that disgusting face of yours?! -A brown haired male with dark green eyes and a delinquent look and a steel silver bat on his right arm spoke out loud to the man as he was squatting down on the chair that was used to players to sit on, the male seemed quite short but he was still taller than the girls-

Ren: So who's picking on little girls while I was in the bathroom? -Another male with long grey hair walked up to the man from behind as he had a small little bag that had drum sticks within them-

Iori: Now now, everyone. We shouldn't be causing trouble for the people here. Though I say that but I will not tolerate a man beating a girl. -A male with bright blonde hair stood next to Sei as he had his eyes closed along with a sadistic smile on his face-

Shinji: God, how many problems do we have to face in just one day? -A tall redhead with dimmed but beautiful purple eyes walked towards the group as he had a bass in a bag on his back, 4 out of the 5 males that appeared were wearing a school uniform while Jun had worn a simple black shirt with a white jacket and had long pants. From the sight of the 5 appearing males, the girls were shocked and were surprised to see them all there, while Ruby was amazed at the sight of the group, Hanamaru and Yoshiko were blushing as their face were completely red as they kept staring at Jun who had a serious look on his face-

Guy: Let go of me!

Sei: I hope ya know that he's Saitou Jun! He has connections with the security and the Prime Minister here, if ya screw with him, he gonna mess you up so bad~

Jun: Y-You're making it sound like I'm an evil person..

Sei: You ain't bad? I thought you were evil yo!

Jun: Eh?!

-The guys would laugh as the man would quickly pull away from Jun and run out of the arcade quickly as he seemed afraid-

Sei: Aww~ Ya let him go!

Shinji: We could've totally kicked his ass though.

Iori: Of course we can, considering that we have the overall numbers.

Ren: You guys are all weird.

Shinji: Shut the hell up.

Ren: Ha?!

Shinji: You wanna go?! -Ren and Shinji got close to each other as they stared into each other's eyes as they seemed like they wanted to fight-

Yoshiko: S-Shouldn't we stop them?

Iori: No, it is normal.

Jun: Are you three all right?

-The three nodded slowly but Hanamaru was still staring at Jun as she seemed to be dreaming-

Hanamaru: Zura...

Jun: "Zura"? -Jun was looking down at Hanamaru as he smiled happily as he was happy that the girls were safe, he would pet Hanamaru's head lightly- I saw what you did, protecting your friend. You don't really get a lot of people who would be willing to do that for others, you caught my attention.

Hanamaru: E-Eh? I-I did? -She'd blush even more as she looked at his smile and can't help but keep blushing-

Jun: And as for you, though what you said was not the wisest thing to say towards someone who is much bigger than you, I do like how you act like as if you weren't afraid. -Jun complimented Yoshiko as the dark haired girl blushed and looked away as she crossed her arms-

Sei: That school uniform...Feels like I seen that uniform from somewhere.

Iori: It's from Uranohoshi Gakuen. The girls only school in Uchiura. These girls were in the competition just the other day.

Sei: Eh? The ones that played before us and got 2nd place, huh? Congratulations y'all!

Ruby: T-Thank you very much.

Yoshiko: Huh? T-Thank you!

Hanamaru: Thank you for congratulating us, zura.

Jun: Ah yes, allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Saitou Jun, pleasure to meet you three.

Shinji: Shinji. Nishikino Shinji. Just call me Shinji, because it's easier to say.

Sei: The name's Tanaka Sei! Whaddup!

Ren: Ren. Maiko Ren. Or anything works if you're comfortable with it.

Iori: I am Sento Iori. It is nice to meet you all.

Yoshiko: L-Like wise. I-I'm Tsushima Yoshiko, she's Kunikida Hanamaru and she's Kurosawa Ruby.

Jun: Yoshiko? Didn't you say that your name was "Yohane", just awhile ago~? -He chuckled softly as he asked, Yoshiko would then blush and get embarrassed from what Jun said as she then yelled-

Yoshiko: T-That's right! I'm not Yoshiko! Whoever that may be! I am the fallen angel, Yohane!

Sei: Damn! That looks cool yo! We'all gotta try somethin' like that when we act and stuff!

Shinji & Ren: Hell no.

Sei: Y'all ain't fun!

-Everyone would laugh happily from what Sei said, though minutes later as the group of guys were about to leave, a female redhead walked into the arcade and called Shinji out from a distance-

Maki: Shinji! We need to go or we'll be late!

Shinji: Late? -He then checked his watch as he then started sweating and panicking- Ah shit! Mom's birthday!

Maki: Come on! Jeez, you're so slow!

Shinji: S-Shut up! Let's go! -He'd wave goodbye to everyone else as he ran out of the arcade with his older sister-

Sei: I gotta go too, I gotta help out my dad later.

Iori: I have cram school to go to.

Ren: Gotta get some groceries.

Jun: I have a meeting to attend to as well. Now, the rest of us shall take our leave now, will you three be able to head back to Uchiura on your own?

Yoshiko: Hehe! Of course~ We're not kids anymore of course~ We're high school students! Haha!

Jun: Ah, that's good, and as for you. Kunikida-san.

Hanamaru: Y-Yes?! -She got flustered as she quickly turned to Jun as her cheeks were completely red-

Jun: I trust that you can take care of the two, yes?

Hanamaru: Y-Y-Yes, zura!

Jun: Good, now take care of yourself, okay, Kunikida-san? -He would hold onto Hanamaru's hand lightly as he got down to her and smiled at her innocently as she young girl would stare at him and blush as she nodded slowly. Jun and the other members of Soul Cry then left the arcade and went to do their own jobs and chores while Hanamaru, Yoshiko and Ruby were in the train as they sitting together and were heading back to Uchiura-

Yoshiko: Oh no!

Ruby: W-What's wrong?!

Yoshiko: I forgot to ask them if I could take a picture with them..

Ruby: I wanted to ask too..

Yoshiko: The Fallen Angel, Yohane! And her members of demons, Soul Cry! Yes! That sounds really nice!

Ruby: Ehehe.. -She then turned her head to Hanamaru and saw that Hanamaru was looking out the window of the train as the sight of her red cheeks was visible along with a little smile could be seen-

Hanamaru: -She thought to herself as she looked at her palms- "He was so charming. kind, caring and handsome...I wonder if there will be a chance that I will meet him again.."
