The stage was set bright and beautiful for the performance I was about to give them ready to blow their minds with our moves and give them a stow they won't ever forget but little did I know that my whole life was going to change during that performance with my quadruplet brothers even we all go solo whenever we are alone doing our own live shows so this wasn't new but we loved someone time together and doing live shows to show how strongly attached we are and the trust that ties us together making us who we are today.
I couldn't tell what it was but I felt a sharp pain in my side when I sat up from my chair finished having my makeup being done. I put my left hand onto the table as I placed the other onto my side where the pain came from which was my hip. "Are you alright Miss?!" One of the workers asked seeing me quickly stand up not wanting to worry them in anyway and continue on with the show as I headed out onto the stage.
"Finally! What took you so long?" Hirota was the probably one of the most impatient person I've ever knew in my entire life but telling the real reason would ruin everything so I had no choice but to suck it up and let the show go on.
"Just making some extra preparations that's all" I didn't want to disappoint him since this would be our last dance until we slit apart again but not all of us are leaving the group like Shimamoto or Tao they were too over protective to leave me alone in this city or to let me travel around the world alone either but I didn't complain because I always loved the company.
"Good! I don't want you to miss your big solo now do we!" Hirota said patting my back which was weird especially with that smile on his face too which wasn't like him to push me to rush onto the stage. The formation and huge distance when it comes to my solo but I didn't really complain or it would stir up an argument or something so I kept my mouth shut and headed onto the stage where everyone else was waiting for me.
The sound of the crowds could be heard as I headed up the stairs that headed up to the stage being hit by the light that shined on me green my presence since I was the supposed star in the group. The cheers grew louder the close I got to the centre of the stage and stopped ready to start the show ignoring everything around me allowing me to concentrate and do my part in the show bringing happiness around the world and to those here in the crowd to shine some light upon them in their darkest days.
When the show began I could lose myself into the music ignoring everything around me knowing that my solo was coming up soon which I practiced hundreds of times to prevent me from messing up live on stage possibly ending all of our careers but even so I would still continue to dance and enjoy my life no matter what happens but that would all change when I step forward for my solo at the front of the stage like we all practiced. I looked at Shimamoto and Tao who seemed to smile enjoying every single step and moment of today's live performance but when I looked at Hirota he had this smirk on his face when my solo came up which was weird but I looked back and minded my own business kept on dancing.
When I step forth back into the spot light ready to do my solo the sound of metal clanging could be heard echoing above me making me look up into the light completely knocking off my routine which wasn't a good thing but What happened next would change the way I would see the world. "Watch out!" Tao yelled as three or maybe four huge metal pillars came flying down from the ceiling above me leaving me absolutely shocked and frozen in place like a statue watching them come crashing towards me.
"SAEKI!!" Shimamoto yelled calling out my name as my arms went over my head shielding myself as I closer my eyes like an i***t but if I haven't had stayed where I was stood I would've died that day and boy it would be something to remember. The music stopped playing as the pillars crashed around me as dust and smoke filled the air from them crashing into the stage hitting some wires underneath it starting a little fire around me which I hadn't noticed at first. My heart was racing as I slowly opened one eye to see if I was alive seeing the pillars surrounding me like a triangular prism as I was stuck in the middle of it all making me quickly look around seeing smoke everywhere which was entering into my lungs making me cough so I used my shirt to cover my mouth and nose preventing anymore smoke from entering into my lungs. "Saeki! Are you alright!?" I heard Shimamoto yelling for me but the sound of the screams of the crowd over took my voice as the fire that was now growing could be seen coming closer to where I was but I couldn't get out the pillars were too close to each other making it impossible for me to squeeze through leaving me stuck soon to meet my demise.
"Help her goddamit!" Tao yelled at someone which I wasn't sure off until I felt foam coming onto me and the fire that was burning my left arm in the process slowly eating me alive. It felt like an eternity but everyone was evacuated from the area where we were performing leaving no one other than my brothers standing there waiting to know if I was like or not.
"Help me!" I yelled once more as the fire was finally put out seeing firemen coming over noticing how well jammed I am who was unaware that I was bleeding from my head from the pillars due to the shock my body went through preventing me from feeling the pain other than the burning on my arm.
"We are going to get you out miss just stay calm" one of them said as they began to slowly cut there way through one of the stable pillars to make a exit which was easier enough for me to get out and treated for the injuries I've received from this rather unusual situation that had happened during an live performance.
An hour passed and they were able to get through the hard steal as they helped me out but the pain slowly came back making me collapse to the floor as one of the firemen caught me feeling myself go numb before a stretcher was brought to take me to the hospital where I was treated for my wounds as well have hip surgery to prevent any future pain making me have physio therapy to bring me back to my normal flexible self again.
"I don't want to dance anymore" I blurted out to Shimamoto who was shocked by this but he understood that I wanted a break from what just had happened back on stage so he notified the doctor of my choices and gave them to big news.
"Are you sure that this is what you wanted?" He asked after coming back from talking to the nurse about my quick sudden retirement from dancing but not the reason why I did making it a complete mystery but the fear always grew on me if it wasn't actually an accident and there is someone out there that is trying to kill me out of jealousy.
"Yeah...I don't think I can't continue like this and with the trauma I won't be the same either" I said as he put his hand on the top of mine being the supportive brother he was while the others were outside discussing with the police about the things they've found at the scene before reporting back to the leader which was Shimamoto.
As they returned Shimamoto looked up at them ready to know the news of the incident that happen yesterday leaving me in constant fear of being hunted by this mysterious entity and paranoia of things falling into me that could possibly kill me.
"It's not good man" Tao said as I quickly noticed that Hirato wasn't with them but he could be nervous too and was sitting it out due to his out bursts sometimes. Hirai was actually rather uncomfortable without Hirato being here with him as those two were like twins but their personalities were completely different from one another.
"What is it?" Shimamoto asked wanting to know what the heck was going on and why those pillars came crashing on me that day leaving me absolutely shook.
"I know you won't like to hear this but...someone was trying to kill Saeki and they're trying to find suspects but so far there aren't any" Tao could tell that Shimamoto was pissed as he looked away from them but at least I wasn't the only one that was over thinking this whole situation thing. I didn't like the feeling of being targeted because I haven't hurt anyone or did a bad thing either so why would there be a person who wanted me dead did they hate me that much that they wanted to kill me for it? I guess I won't know until I meet them can I.
"But she hasn't done anything bad! So why is someone trying to hurt her?!" Shimamoto sounded pissed and wanted to find and what the crap out of the bastard that tried to kill his little sister but who could it be?
"How about we calm down and let the police sort it out? I'm sure they'll find this person soon or later..right?" I said grabbing his hand looking at my three brothers who were currently here by my side since I'm the only one can calm down the big scary Shimamoto anyway so they count on me most of thing they're training or rehearsing for their next dance or live performance which I always fear incase the same happens to them but it never did.
I knew the challenges of recovery and physio therapy to get me back to my feet again due to the surgery I had to have on my hip thanks to that pain it was giving me before the live performance that day. Hirato hardly visited making it pretty obvious that he wasn't comfortable seeing me in a hospital like that with drips and had to endure how hard it was to move my right leg hours after my surgery, the others however came and visited to support me through these hard times since I wouldn't be joining them anymore making them from 5 down to 4 leaving Hirato to take the spotlight again.
It took me months to get back into my feet again and get back home in Japan where everything grew from with the team work and inspiration we had for one another but what would happen now if I wasn't there dancing my their sides anymore? No one noticed that I was gone at first but I began to slowly realise that they began to slowly not like it when Hirato takes the centre and do the solo that i always seem to perfect but it wasn't the same without me and I didn't care due to the fear of being put in danger again and hurt my brothers than I already had.
