Please vote and comment! Until the update. This is Skye worthington signing off. Bai!

The members of STARISH entered the backstage room. The screams of fans drowning out after the sound proof door was shut. It was almost mind boggling how quiet it became. Nanami was already waiting anxiously and with a smile. Her eyes illuminated the emotions apparent on her face. A true smile full of radiance, innocence and joy.

"Great job everybody!" Nanami exclaimed with a smile full of joy.

Otoya high-fived Nanami before smiling, "Nanami-san! We sang our hearts out."

Cecil nodded, "Haruka I love singing your songs. I feel the happiest singing your songs together as STARISH."

Syo fixed his hat, "I agree. Nanami songs are the best."

Tokiya and Masato smile and nodded while Natsuki hugged Nanami tightly.

"Haru-chan, your so cute! The fairy of music herself!" Natsuki oozed with happiness.

Nanami simply smiled sheepishly before Jinguji said, "Little lamb singing your songs are a roaring flame inside my heart."

Nanami double blinked before looking at Jinguji baffled. Something was off about him... It was thorn in the side of Nanami, Jinguji felt... different. She wasn't the only one that picked it up. Jinguji looked at the clock before saying, "Excuse me little lamb."

Jinguji disappeared soon after causing some suspicions between the boys and Nanami. Syo crosses his arms, "He was way too slow on his turns today."

"Syo-chan maybe Jinguji-chan is having a bad day. Bad days are so cloudy." Natsuki thought out loud.

Tokiya grasped his chin, "Masato, you know him best. What happened?"

Otoya then thought back to that moment he witnessed, "That's why you were fighting.. "

Masato looked at them before sighing, "He's just running after more women. As always...I was.. upset. My apologies.."

Syo rolled his eyes, "A girl!?!? That's no excuse."

Otoya smiled, the honey glow reaching his cheeks, "When you like a girl wouldn't that distract you? If you're trying to impress then it could throw you off..."

Everyone looked at Otoya. It was as if he knew what he was talking about. Otoya's face went serious, his eyes turning to circles, "Uh!?!? Not that I was saying from experience!?!?! I just heard that's how it works??!?? Not like I'm trying to impress anyone at the moment!?!?!? But I'm totally available..."

Cecil smiled, "Otoya you're always in and out of the moment. Classic Otoya."

Syo snickered, "You were a little red Otoya. Are you sure?"

Natsuki looked at Syo, "Syo! That's personal... Otoyan will tell us when he sees fit. But Syo-chan is right, you were a little red.."

Otoya simply looked at Nanami before saying, "It was nothing!?!?? I was just throwing the thought out there."

Masa recalled the vivid performance they gave at the concert. He stood by Jinguji for a tad second and realized that he had been staring way too much in that direction making his reaction time slower. He tried recalling anyone who made faces at Jinguji. While most of them were in love with Jinguji one of them looked in disgust and turned her head. It quite odd even though, he didn't blame the woman for making a face. He fixed his thoughts on that person. That's when he had it.

Masato nodded, "It was with girl as white as snow..."

"I'm gonna find him!" Syo proclaimed angrily holding his fist in the air.

The boys and Nanami exited the backstage room before looking for Jinguji. They spotted him not so far away. The orange hair gave away his position. Masa simply glared.

"Masa, you go first. You're silent but deadly." Syo said glaring taking this as a covert mission.

Natsuki looked at Syo before saying, "Oooh Syo-chan we are like ninjas!"

Syo simply shushed him, "Shhh! You'll give away our position!?!?"

Masa had sneaked in even closer observing Jinguji's every move, "What are you up to Jinguji?"

Jinguji walked around checking every corner and every nook and cranny for Azura. She however had gotten quite flushed and hot and began pulling her hair up in a ponytail. She took a quick picture with Hatori before he said, "I guess the concert wasn't so bad..."

"What? Sorry I couldn't hear you." Azura teased.

Hatori rolled his eyes, "Har har har. I guess the concert wasn't so bad..."

"That's better." Azura said smiling, "I'm glad I could share this memory with you Hatori. You are truly my true best friend."

Hatori blushed before saying, "Aw shucks. I love you too."

"I didn't say the l word Hatori. Don't overgeneralize things." Azura states.

Hatori rolled his eyes before saying, "Bear hug!"

"Let go you giant marshmallow!!" She said struggling.

Jinguji heard all the complaining before noticing her white hair. It was an alabaster Snow White color. The light illuminated her hair. It seemed like it was glowing. She was glowing in his mind.

Jinguji simply whispered behind Azura's ear, "Lady, you look stunning."

She jumped before turning around quickly, "Eeek."

Jinguji chuckled, "Did I startle you my lady? I can do much more than that."

Azura double blinked before clearing her throat, "Jinguji be professional.. you..You're part of the S-STARISH?!?!"

Jinguji simply winked, "That's right my lady. "

Azura crosses her arm, "That still doesn't tell me your name."

Jinguji watched as Hatori held his cousin protectively, "Back off."

"Sharp as always my lady." Jinguji winked.

"Azura Mizu." She held out her hand.

"Jinguji Ren. Pleased to meet your presence." Jinguji simply stated as he held her hand.

He then measured his hand with hers. Their palms back to back. Her hands were smaller than his but they were cold.

"What are you doing Jinguji?" Azura said as he held her hands.

"Let me warm your hands up. You know what they say, cold hands, warm heart."

Azura took her hand, "We are like fire and ice. We don't mix."

Jinguji lifted her chin, "But we cancel each other out..."

Azura simply looked away, " Don't be preposterous."

Jinguji was about to say something before bowing at her feet, "My ice queen. I'll thaw your frozen heart one day."

Hatori got in front of her, "Oh no you don't. Don't touch her! She is not your property. "

"And she is yours?" Jinguji smirked.

"I am not anyone's property." Azura said sharply.

Hatori looked at Jinguji, "Exactly. I'm her bodyguard so I have permission!"

"Hatori you are not a body guard. You are a companion." Azura corrected.

Hatori looked at her, "Azu-zu chan....."

Jinguji moved beside Azura, "I'm interested in her, so I have more permission."

Hatori glared, "You do not. If you mention passion in the same sentence with Azura I will punch your face."

Azura got in front of Hatori, "Ok, ok. Calm down Hatori. I can handle my own battles."

She turned to Jinguji and cleared her throat, "Jinguji please refrain from not being professional."

"Lady, I am professional. But I can give you behind the scenes anytime." Jinguji winked.

Azura looked at him, "Don't be flirtatious. It may work with others but not with me. My etiquette is as sharp as a knife Jinguji. A knife slices through butter easily. Please, I cannot hold Hatori for long. Do be appropriate to your fans. "

"So you're a fan now?" Jinguji winked.

Azura blushed slightly, "That's not what I meant! Respect other people as you respect yourself."

Jinguji brushed a piece of hair out of her face before he looked intently in her eyes, "I can't assure you anything la-"

Jinguji simply looked at her before Masato said, "Jinguji!"

Azura looked at him startled before hiding slightly behind Jinguji.

Jinguji turned his head slightly before saying, "My Lady please don't let him scare you. He's a bit of a downer."

"Jinguji you have to give us an explanation!" Syo declared, "You can't leave just because of a girl!?!?"

"Huh?" Azura said.

Jinguji walked towards STARISH and Nanami before Tokiya spoke, "Jinguji talk."

"I came to see a fan." Jinguji said winking at Azura. She simply glared.

Azura merely poked her head to see all 6 members and a girl with abnormal coralish orange hair.

"I'm not a fan. I came because of your preposition. You didn't sway me either." Azura spat before looking away.

Syo simply looked at her before saying, "You really do have white hair..."

Azura stood out from behind Jinguji. She titled her head slightly, her curls bouncing off her pony tail.

Azura looked at him, "Is that a problem?"

"No...it's just abnormal." Syo stated before getting elbowed by Otoya.

"He means your unique." Otoya smiled.

Syo muttered something under his breath before examining her. Her glared at her making Azura back away slightly. Her eyes widened before simply replying, "I could say the same for you. Pink and blonde dyed on a boy..."

Syo glared, "Oh yeah?"

Azura patted his head, "There, there. You always pat someone who is shorter than you."

Syo abruptly looked at her, "I'm manly, not short! Just because your taller doesn't mean you can pat me!?!?? I'm not short!"

Azura couldn't contain her laughter any longer after hearing his baffling. Syo immediately paused looking at her reaction, "I'm sorry. How rude of me. My apologies. I must say you are quite the character. Can I see your hat? I really like it."

Jinguji looked at her wounded. Her attention had now been passed towards Syo and his hat. She's likes Syo's hat....but not his drenching good looks. What kind of a girl does that!?!?

Syo crossed his arms, " My hats are special. Nobody touches them but me."

Natsuki chipped in, "That's not true. I gave Syo-chan a froggy hat. He looks so kawaii in it! See?"

Syo looks appalled and alarmed by Natsuki's innocent charm and truthfulness.

"See? Doesn't Syo-chan look kawaii and less frightening?" Natsuki chirped.

Azura chuckled before snatched his phone away, "Delete that photo!!!! Natsuki!!! Delete it?!"

Natsuki simply smiled sheepishly, "Sorry Syo-chan it is my phone. And I want to keep it. Even Ai-chan is in it!"

Azura chuckled even more, "I'm guessing "Ai-chan" is the male with turquoise hair and matching teal eyes. Correct?"

"You are very on point with your surroundings." Cecil said.

He added, "A tundra queen herself must know all of the surroundings of her harsh environment."

Azura nodded, "That is correct but I'm not from the tundra nor am I queen. I'm a human being that makes me different from most. My hair signifies such."

Cecil noted, "The muses must have picked you for a reason."

"Mu-what?" She question.

Syo pushed Cecil aside before saying, "We will not speak of frog hats ever again."

"Why? They make you unique. They are your personality and what distincts your from everyone else. Your hats are you, correct?" Azura noted.

Syo looked at her wide eyed, "They do....."

Syo took the hat and placed it on her head covering her eyes. Syo crosses his arms and looked away. Azura lifted the head to the crown of her head and blinked twice.

Azura smiled widely and sheepishly before saying, "Thank you."

"Hatori what do you think?"

Hatori came from behind, "Where did you get the hat?"

Azura posed making Syo slightly blush before she smiled, "Cool but professional."

Syo double blinked before looking away, his cheeks red, "It looks alright."

She span around before taking a picture with Hatori and returning it. Azura simply put the hat on Syo's head, "There.  Perfect. It's quite comfortable. It isn't a fedora or a round hat; it's in the middle. I don't usually wear hats but it is quite comfy."

Syo shuttered before saying, "You're welcome."

Jinguji simply added, "Syo has a fuse the size of his height."

Syo looked at him, "You Womanizer! You don't know what you're talking about!?!? I'm going to kick your-"

Azura looked at him before titling her head, "Sometimes a surprise can be in such a tiny package."

Syo cooled off before hmphing at Jinguji. Masato finally spoke up, "Jinguji don't push past the limit. Leave her alone."

Azura simply looked at him, "I don't think I've met you. I'm Azura."

She shook his hand before he said, " Masato Hijirikawa."

Masato's hands felt warm, probably because he had them in his pockets for the longest time. She smiled before saying, "You two are the serious types."

She looked in between Masato and Tokiya.

"That means they take their job seriously Lady." Jinguji stated.

Masa looked at her before she bowed respectfully, "Arrigato Moseimas. Thank you for your time. My humblest apologies for Jinguji getting distracted although I don't carry the blame."

"You don't have the blame." Masato suddenly spoke up.

Her eyes widened, he seemed disturbed by the fact that Jinguji didn't take responsibility for this wild goose chase.

"But-"

"He's right." Tokiya said.

He simply looked at Azura before crossing his arms. He quite serious and refrained from showing a smile.

Otoya smiled, "Don't worry about it Azura-san. Tokiya and Masa are like that."

"Azura-san?" Azura double blinked.

At least it was better than Azu-zu chan...

"Azu-zu chan!!!" Hatori said hugging her tightly.

"Hatori I told you to not call me that."

"But your my little cousin..."

Everyone said in unison, "Azu-zu chan?"

Azura gave a glum face, "Why..."

Natsuki exclaimed, "What a cute name!!!"

She looked at Jinguji before Natsuki simply looked at her with excitement, "You must be an ice queen! You're hair is sooo white!"

Natsuki simply cheered happily confusing everyone but Syo. He simply clasped his hands and said, "So cute!!! And so kawaii!!!"

Hatori chuckled, "I like you. I'm Hatori."

Azura elbowed him before saying, "Hatori may I remind you that I can and will use force."

She glared before Hatori gulped, "My bad, ma'am."

Natsuki simply marveled at Azura, "Azu-su chan, Ha-chan is just being kind.."

Hatori looked at him, "He gets it!"

"Ignore him." Syo said before Azura turned to Nanami.

"I didn't see you on stage." Azura said.

"I'm not part of STARISH. I'm their composer." She chirped full on exuberant joy.

She was an odd girl. Big yellow green eyes with hair the shade of coral.

"You composed that song?" Azura raised a brow.

"It's wonderful. I love the lyrics and accompanying music. Very nice combination." Azura said.

"Azura Mizu."

"Nanami Haruka."

Nanami simply blinked before Hatori looked at her, "Are you ok?"

"Oh I'm sorry. I was just in deep thought. " Nanami said blushing bashfully.

Hatori thought that she was kind of cute. He simply smiled before Cecil said, "We sing Haruka's songs."

"You do a very admirable job. As a team you're strengths are doubled. As a team you are family." Azura spoke before saying, "I'm sorry. I sound like I'm giving advice. You all put on a great show."

Otoya smiled before saying, "Thank you Azura-san."

She smiled softly before looking at Masa. Jinguji whispered, "He's the downer."

"Jinguji don't be extreme. I prefer old fashioned." Masa stated.

"There's nothing wrong with being old fashioned Jinguji." Azura paused, "Its the heart that counts."

Tokiya simply grunted to which Azura looked at him with shyness.

"It is an honor to meet you all. I must depart but thank you for this memorable concert."

Cecil grabbed her wrist before saying, "May we take a so called photo?"

"Sure." Azura said awkwardly.

Hatori took a full body picture before everyone took a selfie together. After they departed leaving STARISH to themselves.

"Masato, I've never seen you so mute." Jinguji teased.

"I've never seen you so slow." Masato countered.

"I've never seen you two worked up over a girl. With Jinguji it's normal but for you Masa, it's uncommon." Tokiya said.

"You were a bit distant Ichi. Don't act like you weren't." Jinguji replied.

Otoya simply mediated the situation, "It was a great concert guys. Don't focus on that. We have a great show for the fans.... "

Tokiya nodded, "He's right. We shouldn't let that divide us."

"Right." Masato said.

Jinguji nodded before saying, "What a rather unique girl..."

Natsuki simply oozed, "I like her. She's very cute. Natsuki loves all cute things!!!"

Everyone looked at him slightly annoyed. Nobody could crush his spirit. Syo simply sighed as the members of STARISH finished the night resting and discussing their day.
