What's next?
A Song From The Heart!
I lean over to Sayaka and whisper into her ear, "I better not hear you say one mean thing to Ibuki. She put a lot of effort into all of this"
Sayaka sighs, "Fine, I'll be nice today. But only because this whole thing is for you"
I kiss her cheek, "Thank you very much"
Sayaka cheeks become red as we turn our attention to the stage.
Ibuki walks out on stage with an electric guitar that's plug into on of the giant amps on the stage.
She steps up to the microphone that's in the center of the stage and releases a, "YAHOO!!!"
"What's going on y'all! It's Ibuki Mioda here to present you all with an exclusive first hearing of my newest song, "Warrior of Hope"!", Ibuki says into the mic with clear excitement in her voice.
Warrior of Hope? Is that supposed to be me? I'm the exact opposite of a Warrior!
"This song is dedicated to our very own Warrior of Hope, John Doe! This dude risked his life to protect Natsumi Kuzuryu! You deserve a medal, but I hope you'll accept this song instead!", Ibuki winks at me.
Ibuki is definitely in her element right now. She used to be a member of a popular all girl band that was the top of the charts and she has the title of Ultimate Musician. So I can definitely expect a great performance and a great song.
But as the song begins and I quickly realize it's not rock like me and Sayaka were expecting. Instead it's pure 100% screamo. I don't even think she's saying any words. She's just playing the guitar and screaming into the mic. Everyone in the audience has a confused look on their face. Even Sayaka is shocked. Hiyoko seems to be the only one enjoying herself, I guess she's into this type of music. But, for some reason, I really like it too.
I'm not into screamo at all, but watching Ibuki up there on stage makes me feel the same way I feel when I watch Sayaka preform. I'm filled with this overwhelming happiness. Not because of the song, but because of Ibuki herself. Watching her on stage, playing her guitar with her teeth, head banging, screaming into the mic, she's putting her all into this for me. And I'm loving every single moment of it.
The song stops abruptly, with Ibuki saying, "I hope you all enjoyed that! That was "Warrior of Hope", written for my Warrior of Hope, John Doe!"
I'm your Warrior, huh? What happened to me being everyone's Warrior? You slipped up at the end, Ibuki.
Now would be the time for the audience to break out into a loud, thunderous applause. But, no ones clapping, no one's even cheering. I can hear them mumbling to each other.
"What the hell was that? That was just nonstop screaming", one person mumbles.
"I feel bad for John. He risked his life and all he got in return were some stitches and a crappy song", another person says.
No ones going to clap, are they? Geez, even if you didn't like it, you should at least cheer a little bit for Ibuki's sake.
"Great job Ibuki!", I cheer from my seat.
"Yahhhh Ibuki!", Hiyoko cheers as she jumps up and down, "Play another one!!"
Ibuki smirks, "Well, I suppose I'll give all another special preformance since you've been such s great crowd!"
Most of the audience groans, but me and Hiyoko cheer for more.
"This next one is called, From Me To You Too!", Ibuki yells before she begins preforming again.
This happens about five more times. Hiyoko and I beg for more while everyone else begs for Ibuki to stop. Ibuki always listens to me and Hiyoko and continues to play more. It's more of the same incoherent screaming into the mic while playing the guitar that we got with the first song. But, Ibuki is definitely enjoying herself and I'm definitely enjoying watching her.
After the 6th song Ibuki says, "Okay, okay, this next one is called-"
Before Ibuki can finish announcing the next song, Chisa appears behind her and puts a knife to her throat.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll quit before we have to carry you off stage in a body bag", Chisa says menacing voice.
Ibuki gulps, "You've all been a great audience! I'll see you at my next performance!"
Chisa smiles and pulls the knife away from Ibuki, "I'll give you guys a few minutes to recover before we had back to class"
Ibuki hops off the stage and walks over to me as Sayaka helps me get out of my seat.
"So what did you think of Ibuki's latest masterpiece?", Ibuki smirks.
"Absolutely loved it! One of the greatest songs I've ever heard!", I smile widely.
"Yeah Ibuki, it was really......unique?", Sayaka shrugs.
"Being unique is Ibuki's specialty!", Ibuki puts her hand on her hips and smiles confidently.
"That was a compliment...", Sayaka mumbles.
"Be nice", I whisper to her.
Sayaka huffs and crosses her arms, "Fine. You're lucky I like you".
I smile and turn my attention back to Ibuki, "My only problem with the song is the title. I'm definitely not a Warrior of Hope"
"Well it makes sense when you think about it. You risked your life to save Natsumi, so you're a hero. But Hero is such a boring and overused title, so I figured Warrior would work better and give the song that sick edge it needed", Ibuki explains, "As for the Hope part of the title. If Natsumi had died, we all would have been filled with despair, right? But you stopped that from happening and preserved the hope! So you're our Warrior of Hope!"
"Really? Cause I remember you saying I was just your Warrior of Hope when you were on stage", I smirk.
"W-Well, Ibuki just got her words mixed up", Ibuki blushes and scratches the back of her head.
"Yeah, sure you did", I roll my eyes before I start laughing, "But I really did enjoy the song!"
"Anything for you, my Warrior of Hope!", Ibuki mumbles before she gives me a big hug.
I can't hug her back, so instead I lean my head forward and kiss the top of her head while trying avoid getting my eye poked out by her horns.
Suddenly we hear a click and turn to see Mahiru taking our picture with Sayaka and Hiyoko standing next her, laughing their butts off.
"Gotcha!", Mahiru laughs, "This is a great photo!"
"Delete that! You got Ibuki's bad side!", Ibuki yells as she lunges at Mahiru.
Mahiru jumps back, "No way! You know I never delete a photo. Besides it would be a shame to delete such a cute photo!"
Ibuki begins to chase Mahiru around the room, trying to grab the camera, while Hiyoko laughs at how stupid they are and Mikan worries about them tripping.
Sayaka stands next to me, "I think you made her really happy"
"Nah, all I did was just point out her genius", I chuckle.
Sayaka rolls her eyes but a small smile creeps on her face.
"Though this has me wondering, what a song about me written by you sound like?", I smirk.
"Maybe you'll find out someday, if you're lucky", Sayaka kisses my cheek.
We're taken out of our moment by Fuyuhiko saying, "Hey bastard!"
Fuyuhiko and Peko are now infront of me and Sayaka.
"Yo Fuyuhiko!", I smile widely.
Fuyuhiko looks at Sayaka age then glares at me, "Are you cheating on my sister or something? You better not be fucking with me!"
My eyes widen, "C-Cheating on Natsumi? But we aren't even-"
Fuyuhiko grabs the collar of my shirt, "You better not hurt my little sister! Or I swear I will make you wish you never came to this school!"
"Geez, Mahiru, Ibuki and Natsumi? Just many girls are you gonna seduce?", Sayaka crosses her arms and gives me a playful grin.
"You are not helping!", I yell as Fuyuhiko tightens his grip on my shirt.
"You motherfucker!", he growls.
Suddenly a kendo stick smacks Fuyuhiko on the back of the head.
He let's go of me and turns around, "The hell?!"
Chisa is standing there holding Peko's kendo stick, "Let's not injure John any further, Fuyuhiko! You and your family are in debt to him after all"
Peko snatches the kendo stick away as Fuyuhiko starts yelling at Chisa, throwing a large amount of profanity around.
Note to self, don't hang around girls that aren't Natsumi infront of Fuyuhiko. Another thing to remember, get **** on Sayaka.
"Hey, John", I turn and see a tall girl with long black hair and *ahem* large assets running towards me.
Wait, that voice! She's the girl that wants to fight me!
Sayaka realizes this too and grabs my hand, "Let's go!"
We begin springing out of the room as we hear the girl yell, "H-Hey! Wait up!"
Why is everyone in this class insane?!
