Part 1 ~ So you’re Neko Come to the Concert
I woke up the next day and quickly change into my glamorous work uniform, which is a black/red tartan skirt with a black button up shirt with red wing designs on the back. I pull on my striped red and black socks and put on converse shoes that match the skirt as I put my hair up into nests like style pig tails.
“Kira, I got to go to work” I call out as I grab my cat bag and pull out the iPod as I walk the thirty minutes to Kaze Angels, a shop my friend, Kuro, owns. It sells all types of Jewellery, clothing and Music plus I get discounts on merchandise for working there, then again, I help design a lot of clothes. I open the door as I hear a little bell tinkles as Kuro pops her head over the register.
“Good Morning my little Koneko” Kuro happily jumps over the register and glomp hugs me. As a group of customers give the pair of us a funny look while others understand that this is usually a common occurrence in the store.
“Morning Inu” I reply happily as we walk back towards the counter and stash my bag there, while putting my iPod on the dock, so the store can have a variety of music, other than playing CDs.
~*~*~*~*~
About two hours into my full day shift as assistant manager. Itsuki, my other hyper friend, closely being follow by Sariya.
“Neko, we simply adore your stories” Sariya squeals causing one of the customers to turn and watch the hyper woman hug me.
“Its extremely emotional, how do you do it?” Itsuki asks as he pulls out a pad of paper. Itsuki’s account is It-suki-time and he likes to have interviews with random writers on the site and I am Victim number one out of me and Kira.
“I try my best to put myself in the situation and try to understand how they feel” I say as Itsuki writes it down as the dark haired customer comes up to me and taps me on the shoulder.
“Excuse me miss” he sweetly asks as I turn and look at him.
“Is there something I can help you with sir?” I say with a smile, as being trained to do, since I was first hired here.
“Are you by any chance Neko from the TenshixNeko profile on quizilla?” the man asks as my friends all gasp in surprise. I wonder how he figures that out as I reply.
“Yes I am, why do you ask?” I reply as he smiles and hands me an envelope.
“Here, one of my friends wants to meet you, he really loves the stories you write” he says as he buys a few items and disappears before I could do anything to stop him as I look at the envelope in my hand.
“Oh, this is new” Itsuki says as we all observe the envelope with a mix of curiosity and suspicion. I turn the envelope over and read the front. Sure enough it had my internet nickname on it, I turn it over and open it, while my friends jump back, worried it might explode, which it didn’t.
“It seems safe” I mutter as I tip the contents onto my hand and notice two back stage passes and a note. I look at the note first.
To Neko,
Hopefully my friend found you. I couldnt figure what to say as a reply for a message on Quizilla.
I prefer if we talk in person.
Hopefully you go to the live and be willing to meet afterwards, backstage obviously. Anyway, make this short, I hope we can meet and talk.
From
Ancestries Demon
Sariya looks at the passes that sat beside me.
“Oh you lucky bitch, your going to a Kagrra, concert” she says as I drop the note in shock.
“Did you just say Kagrra,?” I suddenly yelp as if I just touch an electric current.
“Yea, what’s wrong? Oh and the concert is tonight at 8” Sariya says as I sat there in fear. Ancestries Demon is a member or someone that has to do with Kagrra, and they like the Isshi story, I was truly afraid now.
“Someone go in my place” I suddenly yelp again as I look up at them. Sariya and Itsuki gasp as Kuro grasps my shoulders.
“You love that band, here you are running away from a free concert and able to meet them” Kuro says as she shakes me senseless, “what’s wrong with you?” she says as I told her my story, how someone messaged me on how they liked it and now this and I told them my fear as they all giggle.
“They probably wouldn’t mind” Sariya says as she grabs my stuff from behind the counter. “I’ll take you home so you and our Tenshi can get ready” with that last remark, Itsuki grabs me and drags me to their car.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Once we arrive at my place. I rush inside and tell Kira the news; she jumps around cheering so loud that it could wake the dead. The other two obviously went home after I left the vehicle in a rush.
“We are going to meet Shin-san and the rest of Kagrra,” she cheers happily; she simply adores Shin while I greatly admire Isshi mainly because of his voice.
We quickly change while Kira wore a Lolita dress I decided to wear my Lolita Kimono top with black shorts. I put elegant looking pins in my hair while Kira went corkscrews and put on dark make-up while I went without; personally I dislike make-up and never felt the need to wear it. About 1 hour later we are dress and ready with my knee-length tie up boots and Kira with her platform shoes.
We waltz into Kira’s car and drove to the venue while listening to some random artists on our iPod’s. We enter the main hall with the rest of the fans as we quickly got to the front of the stage, we watch the members made a spectacular entrance as Kira squeals in delight when she saw Shin, when I saw Isshi, I couldn’t help but to smile, he look more beautiful and elegant in person. They all look beautiful in their Kimono’s till the half-way then their clothes change to somewhat more casual wear, while it look more like they put shirts over the top half of their clothing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
[I’m to lazy | After the Concert]
Me and Kira walk with about four other lucky fans towards the back-stage as they squeal in delight. Kira grips my arm strongly as the security guard all inspect our tickets more closely than normal. The guard points at the group of four.
“You four have one hour with the band” he says as he turns to me and Kira, “while you two can spend as much time with the band as you both see fit” he says as an outburst broke from the four other females while we are simply shocked.
“They have special passes, so it can’t be helped” the guard replies sternly as one of the girls, with orange hair speaks up.
“How can you get such passes?” she asks with a snobby tone that made me and Kira want to gag ourselves.
“A band member must have given it to them, it’s the only way’ the guard says as me and Kira look at him in surprise.
“How did we get it then?” we ask as the guard shrugs as he leads the six of us behind the stage. The four girls glare at us knowing their time with the band is limited while we have a free for all. The four girls ran up to the members as they spot them while me and Kira just stays away from the crazy mob.
“You can meet them” the guard says as me and Kira shook our heads.
“They have a limited time and I don’t really want to make the band seem like they are being mobbed” I simply reply as Kira holds my hand. It’s really hard to distinguish the difference between us, besides what we wear. Kira sighs as she looks at Shin; I was looking at my feet. I was shy and Kira knew it. The girl with orange hair marches over to us.
“You don’t have to stand back being all snobby, just because you got lucky, my father will hear of this” She snidely says to us as I look up at her.
“I didn’t ask for this, I just happen to be given it” I snap at her as she grabs my hair aggressively as everyone stops talking and looks at the situation at hand.
“I hate girls like you, so confident, so snobby, I hate you” She says as she lets go of my hair and turns away. I quickly ran my trained fingers through my hair, fixing any strands that fell out of place.
“At least I’m not hypocritical about others especially if they know themselves” I simply say as she growls turns and faces me and slaps me. My head turn at impact as I still remain standing, a stinging sensation ran along my cheek as I remain emotionless at her action. Kira grips my hand more tightly as she glares at the girl more intensely, unwilling to say something that may end up with them being kicked out. One of the band members stood up but was told to leave them be.
“I am no hypocrite”
“Yes, you are and while your at it, why not strike my other cheek” I say as my gaze met hers, one of her friends grabs her from behind. Knowing what I meant by my cold words.
“I’m sorry about Gina, she can be self-righteous” the girl apologises on her friends behalf as I simply watch them.
“Then keep her on her leash so we dont have to report her to the vet to be put down for attacking a person” Kira snares as Gina grew more furious, my hand touches my cheek as I twitch from the sensation it gave. Indirectly my sister called Gina a bitch, how nice. The guard had disappeared when she slapped me and has return with an ice pack.
“For your cheek” he says as he hands me the chilly pack. I place it on my left cheek as the cold chill touch my warm skin, making it feel a hell lot better.
~*~*~*~*~*~
As the hour drew to an end I sat in a room on one of the lounges with Kira sat up against my side with her head on my shoulder. We were placed in here after I was slapped by Gina, more for my protection then hers.
“What a cow, I mean, we are all fans here and we just got lucky” Kira says as she flexes her hands into fists and out again. “I thought after she slapped her, that you would beaten her to a bloody pulp” she says as I drop the ice back down the front of her top as she screams, trying to get the cold object out of it. I start to laugh as I felt the warmth return to my cheek. I look at the mirror to my left and notice where she slapped me and how it was going purple.
“Should have known it was going to leave a mark” I say as I gently touch it with the tip of my fingernail. “Owww” yep it did hurt. I hear the door open and a pair of hands places themselves on my shoulder.
“You alright?” a soft voice asks as I look up at its owner and felt my stomach tighten, in both nervousness and delight.
