Screaming was all that was heard in the airport, it was honestly shocking at how loud the populace could be when it came to certain people. Out of the plane came four girls and, just as it happened, screams... The first one who came out had brown hair and blue eyes, the group seemed to go nuts at just seeing her. "HIKARU!!!" It was so loud, but the girl who came out first waved briefly to the obvious fan groups. "Oh gosh, they are here too?" Hikaru looked behind her, her friend Sakura said with a small cringe on her face. Pink and red hair flowing locks flowing into the wind. "Don't be like that, Sakura-Chan, you know they are super excited to see us." The next girl, a black haired girl, the youngest named Hana said, Sakura didn't seem impressed.
"Just hope they don't push me down like last time." She pouted as the last girl, the blue haired woman, and the oldest of the four hummed. "I'm sure things will work out, let's just hope our security gets here..." Sakura turned and gave her an eye. "Didn't you call them to be here early, Yua-Chan?" The woman nodded her head. "Well, they always like to be fashionably late."
Hikaru could only roll her eyes at that, knowing that Yua had a soft spot for their security team's newer recruit. Smiling to herself, she loved her friends dearly and was glad she had them... but... blinking as she saw many groups running towards them. "ITS YUME!!!" The shout was bellowed... and everyone turned quickly towards them... eyes on them, Hikaru could only utter... "Shit." Yua did the only natural thing and said. "Time to run, girls!" Sometimes the light can feel a little too blinding...
...
It was honestly a miracle for Hikaru to get this far on her own... she had split up with her group members to split the massive groupies and had her phone so that the tracking was there, so eventually they would meet up... but it was like some horror movie, every turn there were more fans... it was nice at first to being recognized, but it blows out of proportion whenever their security details weren't around... she silently cursed them for being late turning down the bustling streets, she threw over a hood and rushed down an alley... and ran into someone.
"Ow..." The person she ran into looked up in confusion as she tried to hide her face. "S-Sorry!" She stuttered out as she heard more shouts of her name coming from behind her, "It's no proble-" Just as the person was saying it, she flung behind the figure and shook. "Hey you! Did you see Hikaru!?" The person turned towards them and for a small pause they spoke in English in surprise of Hikaru, who was hoping that they wouldn't cause a scene. "I'm Sorry, ano... I don't understand Japanese well." Hikaru turned briefly, her eye shining surprised in the light as the blond hair shined in the light that was above it. "Ugh... tourists. Come on, she must have gone this way."
"Come on Kari," The hand that was held out and the bright blue eyes that stared at her curiously. She silently grabbed their hand and was gently pulled away from the bustling streets... looking around, Hikaru let her hood down and looked at the person who covered for her. "Tha-thank you." She said in English before they turned and gave a cheeky smile. "Your welcome." they spoke in Japanese as she gave a look of surprise. "Sorry, some people I know, they don't want to help people who don't know their language... so it was the fastest way to get them away from you... Hikaru was it?" She closed her mouth before giving a small snort of amusement. "I'm Alexandria, but please call me Alex"
"Thanks for the hel-" Her voice suddenly stopped as she heard a rumble... looking down Alex's face turned red in embarrassment, Hikaru giggled at the sound before she brought up her hand to her nose, "Would you like some food as repayment for helping me?" Alex's face lit up at the mention of food as she nodded her head, but then she asked "If that's okay." Her stomach rumbled once again just to defy her again as Hikaru gave a small laugh. "It's the least I can do, besides it seems like your stomach agrees." grabbing a hold of her hand, Hikaru pulled up her hood as Alex followed her through the streets, confused and curious of the girl. "Why were those people chasing you, by the way? Were they repo or something?"
Hikaru looked back curiously, wondering if she was messing with her. Looking directly at her, so she could see her in the light. "Is that what you think?" Alex paused, seeing her and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't really understand getting chased unless it was by police... and they didn't seem like it, so..." Pausing Alex looked back to see Hikaru turning away with an amused look... "Well nothing like that... You'll figure it out soon." Blinking Alex followed after her in confusion, trying to think of all the other ways why people would be chasing her.
It took a few minutes of walking before Alex suddenly had a lightbulb moment. "You cursed them out!" Hikaru almost tripped over air at the accusation as she turned, her face bright red. "Idiot! I'm not that brazen!" Alex gave her a look that said "Suuuure you aren't." The way she spoke out in public made it seem like she was and she instantly turned darker in embarassment. Walking farther forward she saw a vender and pointed towards it. "Come on. This place is good."
Looking around in surprise, Alex saw no one there, that was until Hiakru waved her over. Looking over at the door that was opened, Hikaru turned over the sign that said "In use" Alex saw the booth and tilted her head, it was a fairly large booth and she looked over at Hikaru in curiosity. "I always went to this restraunt with my friends, it gave a sense of privacy, they might join us if we're lucky." Hikaru looked to her left and clicked a button on the wall, just as she did that Alex looked at her and saw a menu. "Oh! I've seen this before, so we order completely privately! That's so cool!" Hikaru nodded her head as she pulled her hood down, Alex gave a quick look towards the menu and hummed, before pressing a button.
Looking back towards the revealed Hikaru she barely batted a eye which made Hikaru wonder curiously. "So what are you doing in Japan? You seem... new." She asked curiously, Yume was one of the few largest J-pop groups in Japan, finding someone who didn't immeditely recognized her in her generation was almost impossible... though it would make some sense if the person was foreign. Though asking the question it seemed a light went out in Alex's eyes, she seemed... down. "I was here to move permantely... though..." She paused as she looked down at her hands as Hikaru frowned.
"Are you okay?" Alex smiled grimly before nodding. Just as she was going to ask something else, a flap opened and a tray slowly pushed two bowels forward onto the table as Hikaru grabbed her purse and placed the amount paid into the palm's hand. "I can pay Hikaru, I jus-" "Nonsense, I said I'll treat ya." Alex clamped her mouth shut as she slowly nodded. grabbing her chopsticks she muttered a silent "Itadakemasu" before slowly lifting the food to her mouth, giving a small sound of content, Hikaru gave a small smile.
A small tune was heard audibly behind the wall as Alex starting humming the familiar tune... Hikaru gave a small smile as she heard the whisper of the lyrics. "You have a good voice." She said as Alex gave a small smile. "My mother used to sing with me, so I had alot of practice..." Putting her hand to her face as Hikaru listened and hummed, "Im a little obsessed with music myself." Hikaru paused as she gave a small quirk of her smile. "It's why I love doing what I do today." Alex bit into another piece as she tilted her head. "Like instruments or vocals?"
"Vocals, me and my friends love making music, though it can be a hassle sometimes." Giving a sigh Alex smiled sheepishly. "How so? Is it hard?" Hikaru gave a small nod. "At times... but it'll never get us down!" Alex nodded her head. "Can I hear some?" giving a small look as she gave a small wink. "I supposed I could show you something i've been working on..." She paused for a small effect as she opened her mouth... lyrical melodies flying out. "If only it was a fantasy~ Just like the day you saw me~" Alex's eyes widened in surprise at the lyrics. "The only thing we count on in a story~ is everything~ comes to an end..." Tears fell from Alex's face as Hikaru's eyes opened and saw the sadness as her eyes widened in panic. "Oh are you okay?" Alex grabbed a napkin and wiped it slightly as she coughed out a laugh.
"Sorry, I'm okay... it's just that hit harder then I expected." Moving her face away she coughed and smiled slightly. "You should be famous with that kinda voice." Hikaru's concerned look was replaced with more of a amused one. "I kinda am." Alex tilted her head as she brought the napkin down... just as she was going to ask the question, the door opened and three women he never saw before came bursting in. "HIKARU! WE WERE SO WORRIED!" A pink and red haired girl rushed in and gave her a hug, while the other two stared at Alex, her red eyes being noted. "Who is he?" Hana asked with a look of confusion as Alex gave a small sad smile. "This is Alexandria. Behave." Hikaru said with conviction as Yua's eyes furrowed. "She helped me get away from the groupies."
"Groupies..." Alex muttered as her eyes widened in surprise. "Wait you really are famous??" Hikaru sighed rolling her eyes at that as Sakura sat up from hugging the found woman. "Of course we are." She said fairly loudly as Hikaru put her finger to her mouth. "Can you be any louder??" Sakura pouted as Yua and Hana closed the door, squeezing in as Alex got close to the wall to not make it feel awkward for the girl who sat a little close to her. "Alexandria then. What are you doing here with our friend." Yua asked. "Um..." Feeling interrogated, Alex receeded a little bit as Hikaru gave them all a glare. "She helped alot, so I was treating her to a meal."
Sakura frowned and looked at her. "She might be trying to get closer to us. You should be more careful." Alex frowned as Hikaru gave Sakura a twisted look. "What is- are you seriously that paranoid about everyone? She didn't even know who we were." Alex kept looking back and forth trying to figure out the dynamic as Alex muttered. "S-Should I leave?" All of Yume looked over and said "No." As Alex felt their soul fly away at the new found hostage situation she found herself in.
"Why me"
