"Fushigi no Persona"
Chapter One – The Beginning?---
It was another ordinary day for certain people, but not to the horde of girls and boys sitting on the benches scattered around the area. Basking under the heat of the sun as they chatted amongst their peers, seemingly unconcerned of the heat it’s radiating to them. If you asked them why they’re enduring the heat of the sun, they could only come up one answer and that is...
“I’m sure they’ll arrive here in no time.” An overly excited girl mused to her companion as she fanned herself with a leaflet she was holding, eyes beaming with happiness.
“I know. I just can’t wait for them to arrive, it's making me antsy already.” Her companion replied, excitement also evident in her eyes as she hugged a small stuffed toy tightly against her chest.
“It’s just frustrating were not the only people here. And I thought only few got this news that leaked out. Damn that paparazzo scamming on us.” The first girl huffed, scowling at the other girls around them. And just like them, those girls and boys have the same intention as she and her friend.
“Baka! Of course it’s expected. What were you thinking you’re VIP or something?” She was playfully hit by her companion in the shoulder, smirking at the same time. Yeah, what was she thinking? VIP my well-shape ass she thought, rolling her eyes though she wished she was.
Their cherry conversation was interrupted suddenly by a van with its glass well-tainted so the occupants inside will not be seen from outside, immerge from the corner. And barely one millisecond both girls and boys were quick in to their feet. The others did the same as they flocked towards the van that stopped in front of the building and shouts of joy started.
‘Kyah’
‘Oh my god, he waved at me’
‘Marry me?’
Those yells surrounded the area as four distinct people got out from the van. Flashing their smiles to their fans that were held by securities, stopping them from further stepping closer to them. Paparazzi were also present aside from the loyal hording fans, flashing their digital cameras wildly, eager to get even a little scoop from this very well-known group.
‘The princess just smiled at me.’
Can also be heard from a certain fanboy, who really did receive a smile from this so called princess. His dreamy face told he wouldn’t have an early sleep tonight as he would replay the scene to his mind over and over again. Like a pirated DVD.
Finally, the mirth was slowly lessened as the four celebrities went inside the building, followed by two matured women in their suits. The fans also slowly dispersing to different directions, but not without a smile and excitement painted on their faces. Having basked in the glory of your idol’s presence, a wave from them and the killer smile to boot, who wouldn’t be in a cloud nine after that, right?
As for the four idols, the moment they step foot inside the confinement of their huge dressing room, let out a relived sighed. Well, except for their princess who gracefully strode towards a single couch, picked-up a magazine on her way before comfortably settling herself on it. Completely ignoring her three companions as she started flipping the magazine she was holding.
The three remain standing, already used to this aloof demeanor their princess was showing, though it still irked a certain blonde a bit as he put his hands to his hips, shaking his head in displeasure.
“Oh well….” He grumbled, walking towards the farthest couch, away from their princess who’s already in her own world. Now sitting comfortably, he looked at his two companions who were in the process of sitting in a rather large couch just inches away from him.
“I think my jaw needs repairing from all those smiling we did.” The boy with average height grumbled as well, massaging his jaw as she brusquely plopped down to the couch.
“Nah, don’t bother. You’re just going to give the surgeons a headache and wrinkles. They can’t fix something unfixable, you know.” The blonde smirked, seeing his companion glared at him for his remarks. Oh how he loves to make fun of this gullible boy.
“At least I’m taller than you.” He retorted back to his blonde friend, who’s smirked gone upon hearing his comeback. The two now were openly glaring to each other.
“Guys, please enough.”
Their sensible leader intervened, massaging his temple. The two didn’t budged though as they continued their glaring contest. Their princess glanced at them, blank expression graced her beautiful face as she returned her attention back to the magazine. This was also a common scene to her so much she didn’t need to pay attention to them anymore.
‘Ahem’
Four sets of eyes immediately drawn to the fake cough from the door. And three sets of eyes widened at the sight, the other one just look bored.
It was their president. Standing in her glory with something in her hand, glaring at the boys.
“They’re just playing around, promised.” Their leader was immediately to his feet, frantically flailing his hands as he saw the death glare of their president.
“Right, guys?” He gulped.
“Y-yeah, what Riku said…” Kuu chimed in as a sweat trailed down the side of his face, springing to his feet as well.
“O-of course, were just playing around, shachou.” Kai added, also standing now. Preparing to bolt out in a run if that something from his shachou’s hand that turned out to be a whip goes near him.
“I thought so.” Kamonohashi Saeko said after a while, handing the whip to her secretary Marilyn who was standing beside her. She let out a light laugh upon seeing the boys sighed simultaneously, sitting back again on the couch.
“That’s a great performance you guys. You really outdid all the other performers.” Marilyn exclaimed. Walking towards Kai and playfully pinched his cheek, then strode towards Kuu and Riku to do the same. And lastly to their princess who discarded the magazine to the table the moment their shachou step in, smiled fondly at the secretary as her cheek being pinched softly as well.
“Kai’s messed up in the middle of the song though, he plucked the wrong string but I’m glad the fans didn’t noticed it.” The princess of the group said nonchalantly as she looked at the blonde, her eyes challenging him.
“I did not. You’re one to talk to. If you haven’t noticed, your voice faltered in the third paragraph.” His intense accusing gaze bore down to the only female of their group who flinched at his retort.
“But as the lead guitarist, you certainly know you’re the one leading the band, right?” She said calmly, flicking her hair from obscuring her pretty face, while the blonde’s intense gaze faltered a bit as he think of something to say to crack their princess perfect mask.
“And as the lead vocalist in our band, shouldn’t you be hmm…let me think, the perfect princess you are while singing?” The smug blonde replied sarcastically, now making the so-called princess throw a glare at his direction. He smiled triumphantly.
While the two were having a verbal match, the two other members sat silently. Looking back and forth between the two who was arguing, much likely as if they’re watching a tennis match.
“SHUT UP!”
The thundering voice of their shachou made the hairs on their back stood up. Kuu and Riku clutched to one another, eyes widened.
“Do I have to tell the four of you to line up before me?” Their shachou asked, a murderous intent on her eyes as she looked at her talents.
“No shachou!” The four of them replied immediately. Even the composed princess was scared to death. Who would want to be whip anyways?
“Alright…” Saeko sighed. Kami-sama! These four are such pain in the ass. She would not be surprised if one day she’ll find white streaks on her hair.
“Kai, you messed up. I’m just glad it’s a very small mistake to be noticed.” Their shachou walk towards the blonde as she pointed out that he really did mess up. Kai nodded, eyes downcast. He growled upon seeing their princess smirked. How he loves to wipe out that smirked on her lovely face. Lovely?
In time, you just wait.“What were you thinking anyway? If you’re on stage, focus only in playing the guitar perfectly.”
“H-hai, shachou.”
Kai replied, unable to meet his president’s gaze. He was guilty after all since he lost focus when a certain long-haired beauty appeared in a midst of the crowd. He blushed lightly upon remembering her smiling face. And the two boys snickered silently. It’s obvious they knew what the reason or who the reason why their blonde friend was blushing. Hell, their shachou also knew, as well as Marilyn.
“His whipped.” Kuu whispered to Riku who grinned widely. Though it was loud enough for all of them to hear what the drummer had said…whispered. Kai immediately glared at Kuu who snickers at him again.
“And you…” Saeko interrupted before another verbal match would occur as she turns towards the innocent looking lead vocalist of the band.
“As much as I hate to agree with Kai, your voice actually did falter a bit, Atsuko.” Their president, firm and with stern tone look disappointedly at their princess. Saeko was thinking along the line of, ‘how can the little miss perfect Atsuko-hime slipped up?’ That was so unlike her, who has a perfect etiquette while on stage performing.
“It won’t happen again, shachou. I’m very sorry.” Atsuko replied. Standing in her full height as she bowed towards their respectable president, who was wondering why Atsuko made a mistake
after Kai did.
Their shachou wave her hand off.
“It’s alright. As long as you promised it won’t happen again.”
“Hai-!” both replied at the same time.
“Yeah, you two shouldn’t mess up again.” The smug looking Kuu interjected, wiggling his eyebrows towards Kai and Atsuko who glared at him.
“I wouldn’t be so confident if I were you.” Riku commented as he pointed towards their president, whip on hand while looking towards their direction.
“I’ll shut up now, shachou. So please, you can put that weapon of butt destruction away now.” The panicking Kuu said as he runs behind their secretary, using Marilyn as a shield. Not a good idea for a hiding place, baka.
Marilyn, who’s in the process of jumping away to leave Kuu wide open for whipping, halted as their princess came into his rescue.
“Shachou, we’re free for awhile, right?” She asked deliberately, earning their shachou’s attention. Forgetting she was about to whip a certain mischievous drummer. Kuu on the other hand throw a grateful look towards Atsuko, who looked back with a ‘you owe me again’ look.
“Yes, you’re free. You can relax for a bit before another live performance.”
“And if I remembered correctly, it was a music show where you guys are number one.” Marilyn clapped her hands in delight, the four laughed lightly at the childish act of their secretary.
“Just...wow, right?” Riku said, still smiling as he shook his head.
“Three weeks straight and were still number one in Music10.” He added, still unable to believe they finally snagged the number one spot from a certain Diva.
“Well, it’s obvious alright ‘cause were the best.” Kuu exclaimed happily, high-five with Riuku as they did a half-hug, bumping their chest while saying ‘yeah’. This made Saeko chuckled at her boys.
Teenage boys...“Alright boys, settle down and rest a bit so we could show that Persona deserves the number one spot.”
She turned to Atsuko.
“Make them fall in love more with your voice, hime-sama.”
As much as Atsuko loves their president to death, she doesn’t like it when she teases her like that. She sighed.

Kai’s POV
I know it’s my dream, well Riku’s dream, Kuu and Atsuko’s to be number one in Japan. But now that we already achieved that dream I felt something…..like it wasn’t right. I remembered clearly the defeated looked in her face when the host announced our song as the new number one in Music10. And it pains me to see her like that. If being number one feels like this, then I don’t want it anymore. Her happiness is way more important than mine.
After Marilyn and Shachou left our dressing room, I decided to wander around Tohto TV. Telling them I needed some fresh air, where actually I just want to get away from Kuu and Riku’s barrage of teasing. They knew why I messed up in our performance after all. Those wise-ass. And of course, to also get away from the accusatory glance Atsuko was giving me. What’s her problem anyway?
And Tohto building being a big building doesn’t help at all. It’s so big and lots of rooms it would be no surprise if someone lost his way. The place was like a freaking labyrinth. Wait! Is that the prodigy kid, Matsui Jurina? I was about to call her when suddenly I was pulled inside in one of the unused rooms.
“What the hmmpph…”
But before I could finish what I’m about to say, I was silenced by a pair of lips pressed against mine. Stopping all coherent thoughts running on my mind…though one still remain.
“Ray.”
I murmured between the kissed and she hummed in response. Even though there’s no light in the room, I was confident to say that the girl who was hungrily kissing me is no other than my raven-haired Diva, Ray.
“Kai…”
She whispered after pulling away from the kiss. Our faces still inches apart as I can still feel her hot breath on my face.
“Yeah?” I asked, pulling her much closer to me. My right hand holding her waist as my left was cupping her smooth face.
“Hmm…nothing.” She giggled lightly, giving me butterfly kisses on my lower lip. This made my stomach flutter and all I think was capturing those soft lips again. And I did.
I kissed her slowly, putting all my emotions with it. And as expected she reciprocated it with much fervor. When she opens her mouth slightly, I didn’t hesitate at all as I swopped in, exploring the inside of her mouth. Eliciting a moan from her where I swallowed it willingly.
“You know, you’re so cool up in the stage with that guitar of yours.” Ray said after we break apart to breath. She hugged me, head resting on my shoulder. Though Ray is quite taller than me, I was surprise how our body fit together when meshed like this. I smiled.
“I try.” I replied, earning a giggle from her again.
“Though I was tempted to hurl every girl ogling at you.” She added and that made me chuckle. I always find it cute when Ray gets possessive. I like it….erased that, I love it. In that way I’m sure she’s not interested in other boys beside me. Lucky me.
“Don’t worry. I don’t find girls attractive at all, except you of course.” I said lamely. If Kuu can hear me right now, I’m sure he’s already gagging. Hell, who cares, I’m lame when it comes to this beauty.
“Uhm…just make sure you do.” Ray replied, giving me flitting kisses on my neck. And I willed myself not to shudder as a shiver run down my spine. This girl drives me nuts with what she’s doing. She’s practically killing me here.
‘Self control! Self control! Self control’ I chanted on my head as Ray continued with her ministrations. Did the room just suddenly got hot?
And finally before self-control abandoned me, my phone rang. Thanks Kami-sama! I don’t want to get loose in this kind of place. Though I find pulling away from Ray was such a difficult task. I summed up all my will power and thankfully I managed. Reading the mail Riku had sent, I nodded to myself.
“What is it?”
“Need to regroup now. Music10 starting in an hour. You should go back to your dressing room as well.” From the light emitting on my phone, I can make out Ray’s feature. A content smile on her face and is till flash from the kissing we did. And thinking about it, it also made me blushed.
“Alright, if you promised to take me on a date afterwards…” She said shyly, clasping my right hand with hers.
“Of course, it would be my pleasure.” I replied immediately, earning a kiss from her to my cheek.
--
“This is really getting out of hand. Just do anything you can to restrain your boy.”
“What’s wrong with it? They look so cute together.”
“Cute or not, it’s making Ray less focus on her work, making your band stole her spot.”
Sarukawa-shachou said exasperatedly, rubbing his temples, anticipating a headache coming on its way. With Saeko looking at him amused for finally seeing the great Sarukawa in his suffering glory.
“Don’t tell me it’s one of your schemes, Saeko. You still owe me, remember? If weren’t for me giving your band a chance in the Indies they wouldn’t reach the pinnacle they’re basking right now.”
Ranted the MonkeyPro president. Alarmed for seeing the devious smirk the other president was giving him. For Saeko-shachou, as much as she hated to cave in, she really did awe Sarukawa big time. Though it would be fucking-fantastic seeing his panicked idiotic face all the time.
“Alright, alight.” She smirked one last time.
“I’ll tell Kai to stop seeing the Diva if that’s what you want.” She finally added, regretting immediately upon seeing the relief washed on Sarukawa’s features.
--
“And that’s what I call perfect performance. No messed up at all.”
Their shachou said after all of them boarded the van, giving them a V sign while grinning ear to ear. Who wouldn’t? With how the crowd well-received their performance, the other performers regarded them like royalty and the fact that they’re still number one, Saeko-shachou couldn’t ask for more.
“Keep up the good work guys.” She winked at them before barking to the driver to drive fast.
“Thanks Kami-sama, the whipping demon is satisfied.” Kuu said in a low voice as to not be heard by their president. This earned a light chuckle from the other members.
“Yeah, I agree. Appeasing her like this would make our lives easier.” Kai nudged Kuu who grinned at him. Seems like the Persona members are on high and no one can dump their spirits. Even the usual aloof Atsuko was all smiles.
“Totally true, and I’m gonna use this free time to find me a suitable girl myself.” Riku said, patting his own shoulder for an effect, trying to act cool by doing it. Kuu grimaced.
“You guys wanna come with me?”
“Pass.”
Both Kai and Atsuko said at the same time. The blonde furrowed his brows at their princess. Atsuko on the other hand lifted a brow towards Kai, her gaze challenging.
“Oooh….I smell something fishy.” Kuu chimed-in in a sing-song voice, grinning towards Atsuko and Kai who looked away immediately from each other. Is Atsuko blushing? Riku thought.
“Oh yeah? All I can smell was your rotten soaked sock.” The blonde shut back, irritated at what the blue-streak haired drummer was insinuating as he averted his gaze to look outside the window.
“Anyways, how about you, Kuu? You coming?” Riku intervened. He doesn’t want the free-whipping time to be ended so soon just because of petty squabbles of those two. He doesn’t want that. Nope, not right now.
“Me?” Kuu asked, as if really pondering Riku’s offer.
“No thanks. I’ll be trapping myself inside my room for a good rest. Haven’t got a decent sleep now a days.” As evidence to his claimed, he yawned loudly.
And truth to be told, as their van stop in front of Kamonohatsu Agency, he quickly got out and run towards his room but not without saying ‘good night’ to his band mates.
“It’s not even six in the evening.” Atsuko commented as she glanced to her wrist-watch.
Thirty minutes later, the leader of Persona and their princess found themselves at the door that leads outside their agency. Both were sporting their styled of clothes.
“Nice outfit. Where you going?” Riku asked Atsuko who was wearing an offside light blue shirt that shows her milky white shoulder. You can also see the fitting back and white stripe shirt under it. Her white skirt that runs along her mid thigh accentuates her shapely legs. And to complete her outfit, those high-heeled boots would scream how sexy Atsuko-hime was.
“Thanks.” Atsuko smiled albeit shyly. She’s still not good with receiving such simple compliments. Especially compliments that came from her band mates. Well, Riku’s a pretty boy and all.
“I’m meeting with Tomochin. And you?” She added, discreetly checking out her leaders outfit. Though Riku’s radiating an aura of a dangerous typical boy next door, Atsuko see none of it right now. The Riku that stood in front of her was different than the usual. He was dashing and looks wild, truly a debonair. She can imagine how many willingly girls would throw themselves at Riku. And she wouldn’t be surprised if their leader would bring home a girl one day.
Bad boy looks good on him...“Clubbing…” Riku simply replied as he opened the door, ushering Atsuko outside like the gentleman that he is.
“I told you, gotta find a girlfriend. I’m not gonna lose to Kai.” He added, waving a taxi over, completely missing the off rhythm in Atsuko’s walk as he mentioned the blonde’s name. Insinuating that Kai already has a girlfriend.
“Well, ladies first…” Riku motioned for Atsuko to get in. She smiled and muttered a thank you to him.
He’s such a gentleman, unlike some certain blonde...As the two finally left the vicinity of their agency, a newly fresh Kai immerge from his room. He was in his cool dude outfit as the usual. His cool black hoodie adoring his lithe body.
“Shouldn’t make my girl wait any longer...” He muttered to himself, a little giddy just thinking of taking Ray out in a date. He just can’t wait to be with his beloved Diva.
Just as he was about to walk down the flight of stairs, his shachou’s demanding voice halted him to his steps.
“Er, shachou?” Turning to his president’s direction, he asked. He doesn’t have time for this idle chat, Ray’s waiting for him.
“If you’re going out to meet with Ray, then you’re not allowed to leave.” Did he hear her correctly? Not meeting with Ray? But she’s the one who’s forcing him to always make the Diva happy, right? So what’s with the restrictions all of a sudden?
“W-what?”
“You heard me clearly so you don’t have to play dumb-deaf.” Saeko replied seriously which taken aback the caught off guard blonde.
“B-but, can you just tell me why?” Kai asked, regaining his composure a little. This was just all too confusing. Why was their shachou doing this?
“Just don’t leave if you opt to meeting Ray. That’s all you need to know.” Their shachou replied sternly, though she found herself unreasonable as well. She too clearly knows she’s making her blonde talent confused as hell.
Bear with it since I promised that sly bastard...As for Kai, anger flared up inside him for not getting a well-good deserved reason why he can’t meet with his girlfriend. And here he thought his day started off great.
“Well, newsflash shachou, you can’t make me stay.” The blonde replied heatedly, his voice laced with strong conviction, not giving room for any arguments. But as he turns towards the stairs to take his first step, he tripped down. Too angry to notice he was already on the edge of the stairs.
“KAI…!”
Yelled by the panicked Saeko-shachou as she watched the blonde guitarist tumbles down a flight of stairs in horror. Her shout alerted the other occupants of the agency as Marilyn immerge suddenly at the base of the stairs, already cradling the unconscious Kai into her arms, calling out the blonde's name desperately to wake him up. But no tell-tale sign of Kuu around.
Good news? Kai wasn’t bleeding or anything. He’s totally unscathed and looks like just sleeping. Bad news? He looks like sleeping where he’s actually rendered unconscious from the fall.
