So, these two are characters in a story I'm working on. This is what I have so far...
"Smoshi, smoshi!" Sakura laughed as he put on his makeup backstage. "Silly Saku-kun," one of his band members smiled. "You look so bootyful." "Yup! And I'm beautiful too." He giggled. He made sure his pink wig was secured on his head and smiled. "This is so awesome! Our first time in Tokyo too! I wonder if we'll see any bands we know... that would be beyond awesome!" "Hehe, calm down, we haven't even got to the contest yet." "I know, but this is a dream come true!"
Sakura and his band were from Russia, and were invited to perform in a rock contest in Japan. The scene was heavily influenced by Jrock, even the foreign bands. Though his birth name was obviously not Sakura, that was what he decided his stage name to be and what he usually went by.
"Okay, we are all ready, da? We'll be up after that band performs." Sakura looked where his bandmate pointed, seeing a native Japanese band of four guys, all dressed in dark and gothic apparel. There was one with light brown colored hair, swept to the side. He strummed his guitar lightly, getting ready, when he noticed the Russian's gaze on him, causing him to smirk. Sakura quickly looked away and hid behind one of his bandmates, yet not trying to be too scared. He made a mental note to avoid them.
The band went up to perform, sounds of the crowd cheering echoed through the auditorium. The song started with a guitar solo, sounding almost mystical. They were a symphonic metal band apparently, with seemingly European influence. "That sounds almost like Vivaldi..." "Vivaldi gone dark and loud..." one of his mates chuckled. Another one rolled his eyes. "Sounds like every other Versailles rip off to me." Sakura continued to listen quietly. Something about all this made him extremely nervous. They were pretty good.
"Saku..." He found himself hugged by the mother bear of the group, Rae. "Don't be nervous, you'll sing great." He nodded softly, hugging him back. After a minute more they heard the cheers again as the band left the stage. "What are they called?" Sakura asked. "I think Violeta Hoshi." "Hurry up guys! We're going on." They got together, hearing the host call out their name. "Smoshi!"
Sakura grinned and ran on stage, dancing a bit and getting the crowd energized. "Smoshi time!" The others started into the high-energy oshare kei style song. What a difference, from metal to glam rock, but the crowd ate it up. He remembered every reason he wanted to be a musician, with the smiles and adrenaline this whole atmosphere contained. That's why he put his heart into his songs, and strived to get better and better. This moment wasn't any exception.
Soon their song had to end, and they were surrounded by screaming happiness of the people. Sakura smiled brightly and blew kisses to them, and then left to go backstage. Through some light puffs of breath, the pink haired vocalist smiled and danced around, so hyped up on the drug of performance. "Careful, Saku-chan. Don't bump into anything and hurt yourself." Rae warned caringly. "Okay okay, no worries!" He giggled, and crashed on the couch next to him. "Hey Saku, I think you're being watched." Voka teased, causing him to look around curiously. The guitarist from earlier glanced over at him, but as quickly as the gaze came it was gone. Sakura looked away, blushing very softly. "Voka, quit embarrassing our baby." Rae scolded. "Yeah, poor Sakura probably doesn't know what that gaze actually means." Jojo, the goofball drummer, said playfully. "Shut up, I'm not as naive as you think." Sakura whined. Voka came over and sat on his other side, ruffling his hair. "His name's Ryo, or something like that. But I'd watch out. He may be into sacrificing virgins!" "Voka, molchi!" Rae said, shutting up the teasing. "I'm not letting Sakura get hurt like that." "I can take care of myself." The small Russian boy responded. "We're not going to let you get hurt." Jojo got into a defensive stance. "My grandfather taught me how to fight." -

Aw, thank you Lanai! ^^
Sure, definitely continuing. :D I love my character like they're my babies. xD -
You're welcome! :D That's good, it's important for an author to have feelings about their characters. It's a sign that their piece with those characters will be a major success.
