Breeze floating through the air, crickets making their merry music. The birds were the back-up singers to these sweet, innocent creatures.. 'Twas a day without a cloud in the sky, and with the mood of the air.. There would have been a rainbow, if it weren't for the lack of rain! A perfect day for a picnic, a walk in the park, a romantic get-away..
And the ongoing chirps and squeaks from the crickets and the birds made everything --
No. Wait. That was the wrong scene.
The scenery was more like moshes of people barely able to breathe, buff insensitive men at every corner.. a dark, star-lit sky. And for the birds and the crickets? They were hiding under every rock, because there was no bother for their music now. Soon, they would all be deaf, but they didn't wish to be squashed, as well.
Yes, this was more like it. After long-awaited practices.. they were all well awarded. The fans.. the managers.. the auditionees, and even the cheaply paid security guards. The time had come for their ultimate beginning gig.
Concert time had arrived.
The band was backstage, sweat nearly soaking their shiny leather outfits, and nearly all of them were a complete nervous wreck. That is, except for one certain lead guitarist. One with a familiar purple skin, dark brown hair, yellow flashing eyes..
Yes. Taka wasn't a nervous wreck. He was more like.. 30 nervous wrecks.
Invitations had been sent out. Friends, family, anyone the band could possibly invite had received their entrance pass. Not only were they allowed to see the concert for free.. they were allowed one signature item -- teeshirts, CDs, stickers -- also for free. And the best part.. they were able to go backstage.
In secret, the band had already played a few small concerts here and there, but nothing quite so big. Nothing that had decided their future career. This was 'the gig'. And luckily, they had already gained a good bit of fans. And even a few obsessed female groupies. One male, too, and he had freaked out every one of them with his declaration of love.
Taka didn't fear how they would play.. if the audience would like it, or even if they would become rich and famous. His only fear, was that Kia and Tiegan would never show up. For as little as he had been around, he hadn't doubted it. But he hoped... so much. He even had a bunch of plans for them after the show! If only they would forgive him for being such a nonexistant a*****e!
"Test. Test!" A voice broke the cheers from the crowd, but groans and frowns came from all over as they noticed it was no one special. Just a forgotten manager..
"Come on, Tak, how long are they supposed to wait?" A gruff voice filled the emptiness from their backstage space. Taka, in return, just flashed him a glare and settled his view on a tiny tear in the curtain, which allowed him a glance at the audience.
"Please.. please come.. I can't stall anymore!"

"ZOOZOO" Tie yelled in delight, waving arms around as she as pushed though endless people, rubbish, and other various obstacles. She had a pair of earphones dangling off her 'WOCKPWINCESS' top secured with a safety pin, tugged off ears seconds after being put on. And she even had her face all glittery, which would make Tie see a flash and get confused every few moments when a piece of the shiny stuff caught the lights of the stage.
"Yes, zoomzoom, Momma is zoomzooming." Kia agreed between huffs and puffs, waving a security badge at anyone who went wide eyed and tried to stop the frantic youth and baby. They probably thought she was a fan trying to pass Tiegan off as 'You knocked me up!' baby.
...they were right. Only this fan and baby had a backstage pass!
Once she'd screeched, yelled, frantic flailed and panicked at enough security guards who were all only eighteen or nineteen with pimples to match anyway, Kia and Tiegan reached the backstage area. She wasn't even sure if she was supposed to come here before the concert... but Kia had scared a lot of them enough to make them she had to.
Kia had assumed 'backstage' to be just a ... back of a stage/curtain, maybe with a few bits of shelter, but was more of a mix of weird people with weird clothes, who looked like they were trying to burn people's eyes off with clothes that didn't cover enough...
She paused and looked around through the people for the right body, while leaning down to tug Tie's rain protector over her head. Who knew what some of those girls could give the toddler.

It wouldn't have taken long to spot Taka. In fact, it was rather easy, seeing as how a large group of underaged girls were crowded around two guys in particular. Security guards were desperately trying to drag them away, but the girls obviously believed in the 'quantity over quality' theory.. Because there were so many of them, by the time ten were gone, at least seven more had come to replace them.
The two guys they were crowded around were none other than Taka.. and some other popular member of the band. Instead of posing, flirting, grinning, teasing, laughing.. or anything of a 'positive' feel.. The looks on their faces seemed to hint at a need to kill the other. In fact, their eyes looked like they were practically on flame fuel by now.
"Listen, BUD. I don't know why you goddamn think you're our BOSS -- Even though you sort of are -- but you can't dictate if we're going to be popular or not! Listen, and listen good! Your slut chick and little miss 'princess' or whatever are not showing up! Face the facts!"
The man screaming was in a deep emerald green suit, as opposed to Taka's red. His seemed a bit more tighter, and he looked like he couldn't even breathe. He had black hair going past his shoulders, with a few odd highlights of brown and orange. The top of the head seemed a bit spiked, while the other part jolted out with a firm wave. He didn't seem to be very pleased, although, Taka was just as displeased as he stomped a few steps forward to get close to the guy's face.
"Excuse me?! You wanna SAY THAT AGAIN?!"
Meanwhile, a young girl with long blonde locks wandered up to the frantic Kia, a fake cheerful smile upon her face. "Hello! A fan? Oh, and please ignore sweet Taka, and bimbo Jar. They're both a bit panicked and frustrated tonight. Especially Tak!"
Of course, while she acted as if life was perfectly marvelous, both the boys had grasped onto the other's collar with an intense hatred flowing throughout their veins.
"Will you just accept the fact already?! You were DUMPED! Quit being such a lame a** and move on already!"
Taka, ever violent as he tended to be sometimes, pushed Jar hard against a wall with fire flaming in his eyes. "Who said anything about dumped?! You better watch yourse-"
Before another word could carry out, both of the angered members found themselves on the cold ground, attempting as much as they could to 'pulverize' the other. It surely wasn't a pretty sight, but the fan girls seemed happily engulfed in it, nonetheless.

The milling girls that Kia had originally decided to stay away from apparently were the answer to 'Where's Taka?'. Kia wasn't sure if she wanted to chase them all away, tell them she was the nurse of the concert and that they were all pregnant, or be all proud that she was Taka's girl and not one of those ones.
...or was one of those ones Taka's girl?
The way they were shoved away though almost answered that. Unless Kia got shoved away too.
...and what was Taka doing? Kia headed in that direction, tugging the stroller after her. She was blocked by a blonde girl, answering, "Um... not really fans. Taka is frustrated?"
Apparently, frustrated wasn't frustrated anymore. The moment Taka and the other guy was on the floor, Kia crossed her arms and glared. Over the noise of the room, she'd barely heard any of the argument before. "TAKA! ...PERSON!"
Using the stroller as a 'GET OUT OF MY WAY' to part the girls, and leaving it nearby with Tie watching, Kia stormed on over. She ended up picking up a bottle of some odd sort of mineral water stuff, and squirting it at them both. Kia also, to her great satisfaction, managed to squirt some of the closer girls 'accidently'.

While the squirted girls were wailing and squeaking about how ugly they were now, about how their hair was ruined, about 'NOW how will we get those sexy mens' attention?!' ... But no one really cared about them. No.
Jar and Taka had frozen in their fighting spot on the ground, both of them staring wide-eyed at Kia with a bit of a shocked look. Taka, because he knew that voice, and Jar.. because he couldn't believe some girl had squirted him. Gasp. Forbid it all..
Before Jar could snap at her, or anything of the like, Taka had pushed Jar off of him and stumbled to his feet. His face was a mixture of pure and utter shock, with a bit of an awkward grin at actually seeing her. Even though he had been fighting over the fact that she would come, he was seriously starting to doubt it. But there she was, her glorious self standing right there!
Except she seemed more pissed-off than glorious.
".... Kia?! You're, uh, here?!" Taka asked curiously, the grin widening a bit, although shock was still very much evident. To some, his words might have seemed 'guilty', but they were instead just extremely shocked. And happy, of course.
"I didn't think you were--" He started to continue his pleased rambling about how he didn't know if she'd show, but he was interrupted as Jar stumbled to his feet and put in his own sarcastic two-cents.
"Hah. Your slut actually showed? Adorable. Although, I bet she came to break it off with you, and beg me to be hers.. Because I'm SO much better in bed--"
Jar's expression didn't change, as he gave a suggestive wink to Kia and then turned to Taka. Obviously, he was curious and had done this only to spite Taka. Mainly. Taka, of course, was far from happy about that comment..
Twitch. Twitch.
For a few vital seconds, all he managed to do was give Jar huge death-glares, along with some angry twitching. But that soon changed.
Because, ignoring Kia for the moment, a quick tackle from Taka landed them both on the ground-born violent wrestle.
The fangirls seemed oddly pleased with the second occurence, because some chanted "Oh, Taka! How brave...", while others screamed, "Jar, oh, you're our hero! What a badass.." With the exception of the blonde-haired girl, that is, who was shaking her head and sighing.

Kia crossed her arms, letting the now empty bottle drop to the ground forgotten. Taka was an idiot, she'd always liked that, hadn't she?, but fighting? What for? He was acting like some sort of hormone'd teenager!
She didn't return the awkward grin at first, hoping the look would give Taka an idea about what Kia thought about fighting. She nodded, ignoring the other man beside Taka. "I said I would come, but Tie needed to be bathed first, then she needed to get into the car, but she found flou..."
The rambling cut off there, and bewilderment replaced anger. If anyone had been stupider than Astaroth, Kia was sure she'd found him. She'd gotten enough time in-between Taka's twitches to reply, "I bet your blow up doll thinks so. I bet it goes 'I like it!' over and over till batteries run out."
Tie, who had been watching this all very quietly, knew that word. Doll! She held out the little cloth one that had been tied to the stroller with a string. She had a doll too!
This time, Kia hesitated. She wanted to join in, and kick him some as well, that anger of her own flaring up. One hand twitched, but Kia just grabbed at a second and third bottle, opened them, and squirted both at once.
...aiming solely at Jar and his fangirls, of course. "Ha! I bet this is only time girls get wet just for you!"

It took a few seconds for the wrestling to quit this time, because Taka hadn't noticed any wet squirting.. and frankly, Jar didn't care. Yet, anyway. But at hearing Kia's comment, Taka fell backwards and was promptly engulfed in fits of laughter. Jar didn't seem pleased at all, and nor did his glaring fangirls.
"Heh.. I might have said that you trained your whore pretty well, but it seems to me that she's the one in control. No wonder you're such a little b***h, Taka!"
While Taka lost his temper once again, and quickly returned to even more violent wrestling, the fangirls angrily made their way over towards Kia. A few of them still squealed about how their hair was ruined, and how they'd never get a date with the 'hotties' now...
"You! How dare you! Do you know who they are? Do you know who WE are?!" One girl sneered at her, her near-white straight streaks of hair clinging wetly to her face as she glared at her worse.
"We have official memberships! With cards to prove it and everything! I bet you don't." Another girl, with spiked black hair, gave a smirk and whipped out 'shiny' gold cards. Indeed, they said "Welcome to the Offical Membership", along with a little picture of the band on the side.
While they squeaked out their pitiful attempts at insulting, and Taka and Jar attempted to pull each others' throats out.. A man entered from god-knows-wear. He had light brown hair, pulled back into a loose ponytail. His dark skin and blue eyes nearly pierced the room, because truely, none of them looked much alike that. Except for Taka's arms, maybe.
"Okay, okay, boys. You can kill each other after the show." He spoke gruffly, an amused smile playing on his face. Yes, he was none other than the well-known, and oft negatively spoke of... Rob. He even had the slim, black sunglasses to identify him. Because he never went without sunglasses.
"Listen, Jar, you go take a breather. The rest of you, go prepare for our opening. I sent that opening band out already, but we'd better hurry, because they're sucking." He took a pause as he watched all the band members, and even some band helpers, rush off like there was no tomorrow. It took Jar a little longer, but he finally mumbled an annoyed "Have fun with your prostitute.", finally wandering off to another side.
If he hadn't left, Taka would have again pounced him to the floor, but all he could do instead was tightly clench his fists, and glare at Jar's retreating back.
"And Taka. First of all -- you're our main man! We can't have you getting ugly, bruised up and injured. Okay?"
Taka, in return, just gave a careless shrug.
"Whatever. Do what you want, but keep in mind, this is your career. Also... I'm not giving the opening act much longer. People might leave. You can have five to ten minutes, at most, with your girlfriend. Or whoever came here to see you. No longer -- is that understood?"
Taka felt like snapping about how he wasn't a five year old, but he just rose to his feet and shrugged again. "Yeah, yeah, rob. I got it."

There wasn't anytime to head for the bottles of sticky soda, the real destructive things that Kia had decided to use the moment she'd heard 'you're such a little b***h, Taka!'.
Instead, she was surrounded by dripping girls who were whining and squealing, wringing clothing out on the spot with hair that once may have been pretty with thanks to hair products... but now those hair products plus water just made the hair hang like limp blankets.
"...membership girls?" Kia stared at the card in disbelief. Taka was on a card? She wanted a Taka-on-a-card. With a 'Official ...' girlfriend/fiance... something. "I don't have a card."
But she beamed, and brought out her purse. Upon opening it, a long line of photos attached ot the centre fell out. They were mostly of Taka, Tiegan or Nozomi. "But I got lots of photos of Taka anyway! And these pictures are better. They have the girls in them too."
That man who'd been trying to beat up Taka, and failed miserably over and over and over (To Kia's adoring eyes, anyway), was walking away and she caught the last part. Ten minutes? She couldn't do anything with Taka for ten minutes!
...but she couldn't anyway, because Tie was there. And Kia couldn't see any nice private rooms with locks.
Leaning down, Kia undid Tie's seatbelt and carried her through the wet girls and over to Taka. Tiegan went straight for Taka's hair, no surprise there, so Kia let Tiegan be held by Taka as she wrapped an arm around his middle. There was a glimmer of annoyance at just how childish it was, and the timing- He'd done it in front of Tiegan! But Kia ignored all of that. He needed to be relaxed and he needed Kia's loving. With her usual adoration, "I hope you did not hurt him too much."
