June 21st. It was a beautiful clear sunny morning. Mihari sat there calmly reading a flier for the Festival of Summer Wishes. Today was the fireworks display, and they would have a guest appearance by Transcendent Wings. Lillith comes running down the stairs, jumping over half of them and landing on the ground. She was wearing a black miniskirt and shirt with a black hoodie over it, her long white hair laying on her shoulders from under the hoodie. She comes into the kitchen and sits next to her mother.
"This is crazy... I don't know if I can do this..." Lillith looked around nervously. Mihari laughed. "You've done this every year for the last few years! You'll be fine!!" Lillith sighed. "But they've never seen it... " Jayden walks in behind her, looking much cooler about the situation. "Everyone knows how good at singing you are, I don't think you'll have any problems." Mihari smiled, then kissed her daughters cheek. "You'll do fine. Where's the other three at?" Mihari asked, referring to Hana, Kazuma, and Belmonte. Lillith nodded towards the stairs. "Hana is just finishing getting dressed. Not sure about the other two..." she said awkwardly. She hadn't really seen much of Kazuma since his father had come back. She got the feeling he was avoiding her.

Hana buttoned up her slim dress shirt which showed her figure off well and then tightened the tie around her neck. At that point she sighed and shuddered. They never played in front of thier fathers before. The ideas raced through her head of hers not enjoying the show.
"I really hope he likes it..." she said starting to blush as she made her way downstairs. Kazuma entered the kitchen to notice Lili and he smiled warmly at her then went and grabbed a piece of toast. He stood behind a counter along with Jayden, his mind played thier songs over and over. His head and feet tapping to the beat. Finally, Hana walked in and she was red as can be and just as eqaully nervous. Kazuma smiled at her and leaned on the counter chuckling.
"Whats the matter sis? Stagefright?"
----------------------------------------------------------
Tori and Placid were already at the festival helping set the stage for the bands performance. A group of kids no older than the band's member walked up to them and had huge smiles on their faces. One girl stepped forward blushing at Tori.
"Um... you wouldn't happen to be Hana's dad would you?" She asked as her friends giggled behind her. Placid looked over at him and rose an eyebrow. Tori looked at her and nodded, "uh yeah, why?" He asked as she turned bright red and backed up.
"Uhm... nevermind!" She said running off with her friends. Tori scratched his head in confusion and Placid continued the work they had set for themselves. Placud smirked at the previous chat and chuckled.
"Still popular with the girls it seems... How hilarious..."

Lillith was sitting there next to Hana when Kazuma came down. He smiled at her, she smiled back at him, then turned away, afraid of him seeing her blush. She really didn't want to make things too awkward, they had to sing together. And that was going to be interesting enough. She pulled Hana out into the living room, then whispered to her. "How am I supposed to sing with your brother when I can't look at him without blushing like crazy..."
Mihari came up behind her, smiling softly at her. "The trick is not to think about it." she said, quietly whispering to her daughter. Lillith took off her hoodie and tied it around her waist as her mother adjusted the tie to the back of her shirt. She adjusted her necklace, then smiled as she looked down at herself. She adjusted her shirt, her cleavage showing out from the front of the halter top she was wearing. After she fixed her shirt, she walked back into the kitchen and grabbed a drink.

"Your mom is right, just don't think about it!" Hana smiled at her friends concerns and winked at her playfully. She hugged Lili and walked back into the Kitchen and clapped her hands at the two boys at the counter.
"Ok, we should get going. Is Belmonte ready yet?" She asked looking at Kazuma, he nodded quickly swallowing his toast and pointing toward the front door. He came up for air and sighed smiling.
"Yeah he left with our dads to help set up for the show, he helped them carry our stuff." He said cracking his knuckles. Hana nodded then walked back out to Lili and smiled at her, giggling a little.
"Ok, its time. Don't be nervous about singing with him, hes an idiot!"

Lillith smiled, nodding at Hana as she put her hoodie back on. As she walked out the door, Jayden watched her. He stopped Kazuma as they left and looked at him, a mildly serious look on his face.
"Look... everyone already knows how you feel about my sister. Will ya just ask her out already?" he looked at Kazuma before pulling off his glasses to clean them. Putting his glasses back on, he looked back at his friend.
--------------------------------------
Lillith walked to the festival with hana, jayden and kazuma were walking a ways behind them. She looked around, almost as if she was making sure nobody else could hear her. "So you wouldn't be bothered if I ended up with your brother? Not that it will happen... just... ya know..."

Kazuma smiled at his friend and nodded at his insight. He looked toward the doorway and led his friend behind the two girls and he spoke to Jayden softly as to not let the girls hear.
"Ask your sister out...?" He said smirking, "Look dude... I like her alot but... I want her to do better than me..." he said looking down, "Shes beautiful. If you dont mind me saying, but, I dont know if I am good enough for her."
Hana listened to her best friend and smiled, giggling a little at her comments. She took her friends and and giggled again.
"The only thing about it that bothers me is why youd fall for my brother. Ew!" She said jokingly, poking Lilith as they walked.
Kazuma looked at Lilith and really thought about asking her out. But, something about it frightened him.
"What if... I mess everything up?

Jayden chuckled a little, putting his hands in his pockets and kept walking.
"I think you should let her decide that..."
Lillith giggled a little. "I don't know when it happened, I mean we were always friends. At some point I started realizing that I cared about him as more than just a friend. He's always been there for me. And..." she blushed, "he's really good looking." She sighed. "I just never really knew how he felt. Plus, he could easily find someone better than me, I mean he's so popular with all the girls in school..." she looked away, looking sad.

Hana smiled, she knew Lilith was nervous about Kazuma and her being together. She looked at Lili and poked her, "Hey, he COULD have any girl at school. But, i think he would rather have you!" She said giggling. She thought for a moment and smiled.
"To test how the water with him, surprise him somehow that will show how you feel. If i know my brother then he will enjoy it AND you will get an answer outa him!" She said lookibg ahead. The docks were within veiw and Hana looked back at the boys and waved.
Kazuma waved back with a half smile and looked at Jayden. He rose an eyebrow at his words and he smirked a bit.
"You sure? I mean... Shes just so amazing..." he said looking down. He nodded and looking at Jayden again and sighed.
"Well, maybe after the concert i will tell her how I feel! Who knows? She might like me back just as much!"

Lillith looked behind her, looking at the boys for a second, then looking forward and blushing a little.
"I... uhh... was thinking of dedicating Amaranthine to him when we sing it... what do you think?"
Jayden watched as Lillith looked back at Kazuma then turned forward again. Then he patted Kazuma on the back and smiled. "I have faith in ya bro. You've always been popular with the girls, you can handle this one." he said chuckling again.

Hana smiled when she had told her about the dedication and nodded. "If that's what you want to do then i wont object!" She said as the group inched their way to the town square.
Kazuma nodded at Jaydens comment and sighed. He really was great with the girls but he didn't care about that. He cared more about what Lili thought about him.
"Well, i suppose your faith is as good as i could want or need! Thanks Jay... You're a great friend man..."

Jayden laughed. "Thanks. I try."
Lillith smiled, hugging her friend. "Thanks, Hana. I really appreciate it." Then she grinned, looking around at the festival. There were already quite a few people there, though the concert didn't start for another hour or so. The sun was pretty high in the sky, and it was rather warm. Lillith took her hoodie off again, holding onto it as she walked up to the concert area with Hana. As she walked over to the stage she saw Belmonte, Tori, and Placid finishing setting up. Lillith sat on the edge of the stage, crossing her legs, her long white hair caught in a breeze. She sat there quietly watching as Kazuma and her brother came up to the stage, her mother closely following behind.
Mihari walked up behind Placid and hugged him. "How's everything going?"

When Mihari had hugged Placid from behind he chuckled. Her warm embrace made him smile and he turned around and kissed her.
"Everything seems to be in order. All theyvgotta do is play and that'll be the end of it." He said looking at the group. His eyes made their way to Lilith then Jayden then back to Mihari. There was a look of joy in his eyes as he spoke.
"Im excited to hear them play..." he said warmly as Tori came from back stage. He scoped out the area and a crowd of girls had already started to form nearby. Most likely for Kazuma. After they noticed him they all got gitty and some of them rushed over to him and tried getting autographs from him and even a few from Jayden. Kazuma chuckled nervously at the gesture.
"We aren't famous yet we get the treatment... Huh..." he said looking at his sister who rolled her eyes and sighed. She gave a small chuckle and looked at Lil and sat next to her, keeping her company.
"So, you almost ready?"

Mihari kissed him back, then smiled at him. "I've been watching them play for a few years now... I still think they must have gotten their musical talent from you, because I know it wasn't me." she laughed, then grabbed Placids hand.
Jayden chuckled. "You need to stop being such a damn chick magnet then." Jayden said, raising an eyebrow at Kazuma. Lillith heard and chuckled a little. "I don't think that is possible. He just positively radiates awesomely sexy..." Lillith said, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. Then she chuckled to herself. At Hana's question, she smiled. "I think I'm about as ready as I'm going to be."

Kazuma smirked at Lilith's comment and rose an eyebrow. He blushed a little and chucckled, "Nah, I am just pure AWESOME!" he said doing a stupid macho man pose. Hana smiled nervously at him and laughed. "About as awesome as a bag of rocks...!" she said trying not to laugh. He nudged her as Tori walked up to the mic and did a test. The fangirls whisteled at him and he gave them nervous looks and waved. "Dad must have been a girl magnet too when he was our age..." Hana said smiling watching her father trying to keep the fangirls from hitting on him. She looked back at Kazuma and patted his back. "Well, now we know were ya got it from..." she said sighing getting on stage. A crowd had began to form and when Hana oficially stood on stage the crowd cheered lightly and she smiled waving to everyone and they cheered louder. She looked at the town sqaures clock and smiled. "Ok, lets get set up! Only have about 15 minutes left until we open for the Festival!" she said as Kazuma leapt onto stage. He unpacked both Guitars and set them on their stands and helped Jayden set up the drumset. Hana did another simple check and some of the guys in the audience whistled and she looked at them and gave a nervous wave to them. After she finished a man walked up on stage, no older than 45, wearing a suit and fancy tie. He hushed the now extremely large crowd down for the open ceremony. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Niharuka's annual Festival of Summer Wishes!" he said and the whole crown exploded in cheer, he nodded and laughed "Yeah! Whoo! Now this moment I have been waiting for for a whole year! Please, put your hands together for our musical guest, Transcendent Wings!" as he said the bands name the crowd exploded in a cheer and the man steeped of stage and Hana looked at the crowd and smiled. "Alright!" she shouted as the mic picked up the crisp detail of her voice. "Let's do it!" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The strumming of the guitars and beat of the drums rang and the entire crowd screamed in joy as the music ran through their minds. Hana then stepped to her place in front and began her joyful signing to the whole crowd. There's no sense, the fire burns When wisdom fails, it changes all The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning
Blood red skies, I feel so cold No innocence We play our roll The wheel embodies all Where are we going? The crowd all cheered as they knew the chorus was a bout to begin, Lilith stepped forward to her mic and smiled as she looked at Kazuma who kept his composure strong while keep the bass line solid. Then, Lili began so sing the Chorus as back up. All in all You expect the wise to be wiser Fallen from grace and All and all I guess we should have known Better 'cause
What about us Isn't it enough No we're not in paradise This is who we are This is what we've got No it's not our paradise But it's all we want And it's all that we're fighting for Thought it's not paradise As the Chorus finished the fans exploded in joyus cheer and Lilith smiled as Hana and her connected eyes. Hanas eyes shut as the music flowed through her and she could help slightly dancing to the beat. You and us, or I and them There comes a time to take a stand The wheel is watching all It keeps on burning
The venom works, it's like a curse A trojan horse, when will we learn? The wheel embodies all that keeps returning The crowd began getting excited again, knowing exactly the point to cheer at as the Chorus made its return yet again. Hana put her arms in the air and a graceful manner as her and Lilith began to sing the chorus yet again. All in all You expect the wise to be wiser Fallen from grace and All and all I guess we should have known Better 'cause
What about us Isn't it enough No we're not in paradise This is who we are This is what we've got No it's not our paradise But it's all we want And it's all that we're fighting for Thought it's not paradise

Lillith took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her ears as the adrenaline kicked in. She pulled her hoodie off and threw it to the side of the stage as the guitar and drums started for the next song. She closed her eyes as Kazuma walked up to the front. He smiled a little, the girls going crazy as he started singing. What a day? I can barely keep my eyes wide open I don't wanna see straight What a day? Feels like my breath is heavy again And I'm totally faded
Lillith opened her eyes and looked out over the crowd, smirking a little as her eyes fell on Kazuma. Then she started singing her verse. Come to me Come to me I am waiting for you Come to me I can't wait
Follow me, follow me As I trip the darkness One more time Follow me, follow me I awake from madness Just in time
Kazuma grinned, brushing his purple hair out of his eyes before continuing on to his next verse. What a day? Seconds, minutes and hours spill over There's no time here in space What a day? I see beauty in everything But the world is still fading away By now, Lillith had gotten comfortable enough with being on stage that as she started singing, she rocked her hips to the beat as she sang the chorus. Come to me Come to me I am waiting for you Come to me I can't wait
Follow me, follow me As I trip the darkness One more time Follow me, follow me I awake from madness Just in time
They both looked at eachother and smiled, Lillith winking at Kazuma as they started singing the next verse together. What a day? I can barely keep my eyes wide open I don't wanna see straight What a day? Seconds, minutes and hours spill over There's no time here in space
Lillith grinned, reaching her arm out over the crown as if beckoning to them as she sang. Come to me, come to me, come to me come to me Come to me, Come to me I am waiting for you
Follow me, follow me As I trip the darkness One more time Follow me, follow me I awake from madness Just in time Just in time (just in time) I awake from madness One more time
