Guess who was able to get the first chapter done!!
Anyways, some things I should explain:
Because of how the plot is I changed a lot of ages, but its not even set that they're idols in the story so I don't think it matters.
Also, its more of a fantasy or science fiction story than anything...

Chapter 1: Smack
2 1/2 months earlier
Mangled steel was strewn across a small street in a fairly low populated area just north of the big city Tokyo. Various people slowly gathered around it confused as to how a tree could suddenly fall down and land on top of a man driving by in a small car. The whole area seemed to be in a huff over the incident as the local authorities began to arrive.
Well, everyone was panicking except one person who had slipped into a local coffee shop right after the tree had fallen. The shop owners weren’t even there, for they had run out to see the wreckage. The girl who could be no older that twenty stared out the window with a blank expression on her face as she watched the police pull the man out from the tree.
He was bleeding profusely from the head and his arm was sticking out in a strange angle, presumably broken. When an ambulance arrived and the paramedics began to stop the bleeding and put a brace around his neck, the young girl turned away and walked over to the counter.
She glanced down at her watch. There wasn’t a time displayed there like a normal watch would have; but rather it seemed to be counting down to something. Currently it read: “16:48:51.” Obviously it represented hours, minutes and seconds as the fifty-one was scrolling down quickly.
The girl sighed and ran a hand through her long brown wavy hair as she peered over the counter to see if anyone would serve her a cup of coffee. She had on a white collard shirt that was slightly puffy on the ends with a stripped black and white tie loosely hung around her neck. Her pants were black and then to contrast the black and white scheme, she had on bright yellow tenni-shoes.
Tapping said shoes and crossing her arms over her chest she finally got fed up and hopped over the counter. She watched out the window as she prepared coffee for herself. They were now trying to keep any more blood from escaping as they lifted the man onto a stretcher. She sighed; anyone looking on could tell that this man was going to die any second now.
She looked at her watch once more. “16:47:01” and then in a blink of an eye it flashed “00.” Smiling wickedly the girl looked up at the wreckage once more. It seems they haven’t noticed yet as they were still trying to save him.
Grabbing her cup of coffee she leapt over the counter once more and headed out the door, pressing a side button on the watch as she did. There was a strange white mist now floating above the mans corpse that no one but her seemed to notice. As she approached, while nonchalantly sipping her drink, the mist quivered slightly. Once she got about ten feet from the body the paramedics suddenly panicked as they finally noticed the man they had been trying to save had passed on.
Rolling her eye she lifted her arm bearing the watch slightly towards them causing the mist to quiver again. Pushing another button it slowly began to seep towards and into the face of the watch.
“What the…” she whispered as suddenly the mist stopped flowing into the face of her watch and it began to beep. No one could hear the beeping as the mans death had caused another wave of panic amongst the on lookers. Staring down at the watch it now flashed in a blood red color, “100%.”
Growling the girl threw down the coffee, causing a few stares, and marched away from the accident. “Fuck,” Fujimoto Miki mumbled as she made her way down various streets and to the local church.

Takahashi Ai glanced to her right to find her good friend Niigaki Risa sleeping peacefully on her desk as the teacher lectured. Her black hair was strewn across her face in a very messy fashion as she stirred slightly. Ai smiled to herself and glanced back out the window to the court yard below.
Suddenly she heard a loud whack and whirled her head around to see the teacher standing above Risa. “EHH!!??” She yelled loudly looking around the room confused. Everyone in the class began to giggle in there matching navy blue uniforms as Risa rubbed the back of her head.
“If you are that tired you might as well not come to school!” The teacher yelled, pointing her finger in the young girls face.
She bowed her head slightly, “I’m sorry it won’t happen again.”
“It best not,” the teacher scolded and she returned to the head of the classroom.
Ai sighed, she knew in the next five minutes Risa would be sleeping once again and then probably be kicked out of the classroom like usual. It’s a wonder she hasn’t been expelled yet. For a first year in high school she sure picked up a bad reputation with the teachers fast. Probably the only reason she got decent grades was because Ai would always help her…
Just as predicted, ten minutes later Ai watched as the teacher drug Risa out of the classroom by her ear and assigned her extra work. Lucky for her she didn’t have to stand out in the hall long as the bell rang not even five minutes after that.
Ai gathered up her things and went over to her other friend Kamei Eris desk. “Do you think Gaki will ever stay awake in at least one class?”
Eri shook her head laughing as she stood up slinging her bag over one shoulder. “I highly doubt it.”
The two exited the classroom and joined Gaki, as they called her, to head off home. Both of them playfully made fun of the sleepy girl as they walked.
Soon that daily ritual got boring and they began to talk of other things. Gaki looked over at Ai smiling mischievously. “So Ai-chan, did you hear our little Eri has her eye on a girl in our class?”
Eri turned a bright shade of red and immediately smacked Gaki across the back of her head hard, “Gaki!”
She rubbed the back of her head once again, “Eri what’d you do that for? I’m just trying to inform Ai about your crush on Michishige. Ow!” Eri had smacked her once again and stuck her nose up in the sky.
“I can’t believe I told you that,” she grumbled as Ai began to laugh at the two of them.
Gaki was still rubbing her head as she also laughed. “Oh like it isn’t obvious.” This time she was able to duck and avoid Eris hand as it swung down once again.
“So Eri,” Ai said sounding serious. “When are you going to propose to her?”
Eri growled slightly and looked away. “Never.”
“Aww why? You two would be so cute! A turtle and a bunny, I can see it now.” This time Gaki wasn’t able to avoid another smack on the head. “Stop hitting me!” she whined.
“Then shut up!”
“No.” Smack. “Stop!”
The two began to quarrel and Ai couldn’t help but just laugh and watch. The two would do this all the time it was a miracle they were actually friends. Soon however, she had to break off from the group as they got to her house.
Ai waved at the two as they walked away continuing to argue.
