<div class="floatleft">(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/Twin-Dragon/Kosame_Hisakaki_1.jpg)</div>Name: Mizuki<br/>Location: Tokyo (Roppongi shopping district)<br/>Tagging: Open<br/><hr/><br/>Mizuki noticed a foreign man just entered the jewelry store that she had threatened the owner of and stared at him for a while. However, her attention was soon taken by the brunette she’s with as they returned to just a pair of girls chatting and giggling. At the back of her mind though, she found it strange why she paid attention to the man, afterall, this is Roppongi and foreigners were not a rare find here.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the all too familiar sound of her mobile disturbs the conversation between the two as the blonde fished the item from inside her bag. A look at the LCD screen showed that it was her manager calling as she turned to her petite seour and mouthed “Sorry” which the brunette nodded in response.<br/><br/>Sliding her thumb on the screen, she put the mobile against her ear, “Moshi moshi,  Sagara-san?” A male voice from the other side sighed in relief, “Ah, Mizuki-chan. You don’t know how glad I am that you’re picking up….” The blonde immediately frown as she asked with concerned tone, “What’s wrong, Sagara-san? Did something happen?” Though she couldn’t see the man, she could imagine him nodding while wiping his forehead with his handkerchief as he spoke, “Well… you see… I know that you’re having a day off today but… do you think you can make it to the Tokyo Convention Hall?”<br/><br/>At the mention of the venue, Mizuki immediately put the dots together. She knew there was a convention happening there at this very day since she was actually offered the opportunity to be one of the participating idols but unfortunately had to decline the offer due to prior promise to her petite seour. Thus the opportunity was given to another rising artist who was also signed under the same company. If Sagara-san was calling her, then something had happened and she was most likely in position to help. She looked at Lilianna before putting the phone on the table on speaker mode for her to listen along.<br/><br/>She didn’t have to take long before the man explained the situation, “The thing is… Yuri-san has just been admitted into the hospital after she complained about a stomachache. It turned out that she had a case of food poisoning… it wasn’t severe but it was unlikely that she will be able to get out of the hospital for the day. The problem is that she was set to fill the slot for the main stage during the main event as a secret guest star….”<br/><br/>The blonde looked across the table to her petite seour who looked back to her before nodding silently. She smiled gently as the brunette, she expected no less from her but it still made her proud to know that she had her support nonetheless as she spoke, “I understand, Sagara-san. We’re at Roppongi right now, we should be able to get there within an hour… but you have to get me a favor in exchange.”<br/><br/>The man’s answer of “Anything” had the blonde grinning as she made her demand, “You see, I’m on a date with my petite seour and has no intention of leaving her behind. I want you to get a VIP pass ready for her, if I’m going to be on stage then she deserve to be getting the front row seat.” She could almost imagine the man’s broad smile as he answered, “Deal.” before the call was ended.<br/><br/>Putting the device back into the bag, Mizuki saw her wonderful petite seour called the waiter for the bill which arrived soon. After paying for the meals, the brunette in front of her smiled as she spoke cheerily, “Let’s go Onee-sama, wouldn’t want to keep them waiting for the main star, do we?” The blonde herself simply rolled her eyes as she too stood up.<br/><br/>Both girls made their way back to the station and quickly found the car with the blonde’s family driver leaning against it. After quickly telling the man of the change of plan, both entered their items into the trunk before entering vehicle. Soon, the car sped toward their destination as the driver geared it. Fortunately, the street was rather sparse today and taking the highway significantly cut their travel time.<br/><br/>They ended up arriving at the venue 15 minutes earlier than their promised time. Directing the car to take the back entrance, the gate guard allowed them in without fuzz as they had been notified of their arrival. Both quickly got out of the car and ran toward the entrance to the main building into the backstage where they found the man they’re looking for.<br/><br/>Sagara Sanosuke was a man in his late 30s but he look more like mid 20s with high build and toned physique hidden under his grey suit. His name had been used as running joke among everyone that knows the man though since the man himself owned plenty of funny bone inside him, he never took the jests to heart and just saw it as the funny material they were intended.  The same man had also been the one in charge of managing Mizuki’s schedule and professional matters. So far, the man hadn’t disappointed her.<br/><br/>The same man quickly ushered Mizuki into the makeup room where professional makeup artist would put their skill to use on her. They even managed to find a costume that fits her…. Iincidentally, it was also the costume of a character from an anime that she voiced…. If she didn’t know any better, she’d think that Sagara-san had tricked her and it had been his plan to begin with to get her to participate in the event… but she did know better and she knew enough of the man that he wouldn’t do such underhanded thing to her.<br/><br/>Soon she was dolled up, though truthfully the only thing the artist did was just apply slight layer of powder and lip gloss as well as putting some of her hair to a pair of pigtail with some decorated ribbon, and dressed in the costume she was shown, a pink top with white skirt and pink petal-shaped cape at the back, a pair of knee-high pink shoes with wing decoration on the heels. Finally, one of the staff members handed her a mic disguised as a winged staff with golden star at the center. All in all, she look every bit the part of a Mahou Shoujo.<br/><br/>Soon the MC makes an announcement excitedly, “Good afternoon boys and girls, are you enjoying the event so far? If you frequented our year convention so far, you guys would know the next item of our schedule… but today… we have a SURPRISE for you!! Are you ready?!!” As the crowd begins the 5 seconds countdown, Mizuki turned to her petite seour, now wearing a tag with the bold “VIP” on it, who gave her a thumb up as the blonde walked up the wooden stair as the upbeat music plays and the curtain parted to allow her to pass.<br/><br/>The moment she entered the stage, as if a switch had been turned in her mind, she was no longer Mizuki the heir of Izumi Zaibatsu but Izumi Mizuki, the rising star of the music world taking the industry by the storm. A bright smile rose on her lips as she opened them and sing straight from her heart as the crowd went wild. As she sang, she couldn’t help but ecstatic at the smilings faces before her, male and female, young and old, not a single frown was visible among the sea of faces. Seeing those faces, her heart soar even higher, this was what makes her choose to be an idol, to be able to make those smiling faces? Was there any better job in this world than that? Doubt it.
