In a Mansion. Marika awakes on a room that full of stuffs. The Album and Cover Photo of ForTune Band. She stand and looked all parts of that room. She saw a little picture of her band "Scarlet Dream" posted in a wall.
"You're awake already, Ayasaki Marika" A Violet haired girl suddenly entered the room.
"Who are you? Why i am here?" Marika asked.
"I just take you for some reason. Scarlet Dream. It's a Interesting group of yours." She smiled and looked at her seriously
"what are you planning? destroying it? disbanding it by yourself?" Marika moves backward as she cross her arm to defend herself.
"I have one purpose. To act like you. In other words I will take your part on that group and act like you. It's to easy to do. Ayasaki Marika"
"You need to stay here forever. No one will save you and no one will hear your scream. Wanna know my name? I'm Kurumi. Kurumi Tachibana. The Daughter of CEO of ForTune Band." Kurumi added.
"Why are you doing this? I didn't do anything wrong from you!" Marika tries to go outside but Kurumi pushed her away.
"Try to ask yourself. Maria-san." Kurumi closed and locked up the door as she dressed up like Marika and changed her hair color to act like Marika.
"Take me at St. Lucario Academy." Kurumi ordered.
"Understood, Milady"
Kurumi and her butler leaved the Mansion as Marika still shocked when she heard her old name.
"M-Maria??"
------------------
At Music Club.
After the class. Yukina started to think about Marika. She thinks that it was her fault why Marika has been taken by those guys. Karatsu and Kisara arrived along with Hidashi and Rin.
"I'm glad that you're here! M-Marika.."
"Marika?" Hidashi asked
"Marika has been abducted by unknown person.. What should i do.. I didn't protect her.. Marika is a part of my life.."
Yukina looks away from them and she looks depressed.
"An-chan.. We need help our friend. Marika needs help." Rin start to worried about Marika.
"What shall we do now, Karatsu? We're not dealing with a students. We are dealing with gangster or whatever." Hidashi said while putting his hand on his pocket.
"Ka-chan?" Kisara looks at him seriously.
"Fine. We need to tell this to everyone. Including Tetsu. I think he can help us to get Marika out on that place. I don't know why is this happening but i'm going to make sure that Marika will save." Karatsu responded.
"Kisara, I will borrowed your boyfriend for a while. I have a serious talk with him." Yukina asked her seriously
"Ahh.. Yeah.. Fine..." Kisara felt a little jealous after giving her a permission to talk with his boyfriend.
Yukina bring Karatsu in the Rooftop and suddenly locked the door.
"I thought you're worried about Marika?"
"I do! Just listen to me. Actually, Marika was born in a rich family. The Ayasaki Family. She's the only daugther of Himuro and Sora. She told me before that she's always getting kidnapped by those bad guys and her family paid the ransom the money that those bad guys wants, It happens 3 times. Her family cares about her no matter what happen" Yukina sits on the floor then let Karatsu sit beside her.
"3 times? So... This is the 4th time she get kidnapped?" Karatsu asked.
"Yeah... Marika is honest. She never lied to anyone. She's always telling the truth even she made a mistake. The first time i meet her. She's like you. She's a loner, kind, and don't have many friend. She's a Anti-social. She hates people. I think that incident gives her a trauma." Yukina looks down then thinks about Marika.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
"Someone thinks that i abused her kindness. Marika acts like my assistant."
"That's enough. Don't blame yourself about the abduction of our friend. We will do our best to save her. I already understand you and her past" Karatsu pats her head then unlocked the door and goes in the club.
Inside of the limousine. Kurumi disguise like Marika. Wearing the usual outfit of Marika and start humming around.
"So what shall we do Lady Kurumi?" Her driver asked.
"It's obvious. On St. Lucario. I think they're worried on Maria." Kurumi replied.
"Maria?"
"She's Maria. Maria Ayasaki. I never forget her. Maria is half sister.. In other words. She's my sister. My father married her mother then he married my mother. Maria's mother died for some reason. Papa told me that i have a sister from other woman. He introduced me Maria." Kurumi explained then thinks deeply.
[Flashback]
(10 years ago)
In Kurumi's House.
"What!?" Kurumi's mother said as she looks angrier at Marika.
"Calm down. Aya. Sora is already dead. I can't leave Maria away from me that's why i bring her here." Himuro said.
Kurumi approaches at Marika as she look the same way.
"You're not welcome here. You're my sister? No way." Kurumi pushed her away as Marika runs outside then her father followed her.
"Don't follow her. She deserve nothing on this family!" Aya suddenly shouted him as Kurumi hugs her.
"She's also my daugther! So shut up and take care of Kurumi." Himuro goes outside as he followed her daugther.
At the Playground. Marika was crying then her father approaches.
"I want mom... Dad... i need mommy.." Marika cries out loud as she hugs her father.
"Maria. I will buy a house for you. So Kurumi and Aya won't bully you. Are you okay with that?"
"Yup." Maria replied.
After that, Marika lives in a apartment. 8 years passed. Marika decided to forget everything on her childhood days. She starts studying at St. Lucario Academy. Not being a rich kid. Just a normal high school girl. She decided to cut her long hair and make it short and wear her usual outfit when going to school. She changed her name and forget her real name to forget everything.
"Hello. I'm Marika Ayasaki. It's nice to meet you" She bows on front of the student that turns into her classmate. Yukina turns to be her classmate as well.
"Please sit beside on Nakade's chair." Her teacher pointed her chair and Marika seated their and gives a smile on Yukina.
After the class. Marika visited the grave of her mother and prays and leave the place. Then Yukina spotted her.
"Why are you here?" Yukina asked.
"Ahh.. I visited my mother. I-i'm always doing it every month." Marika said then leave her alone.
"Ah.. wait!" Yukina shouted.
But Marika ignored her.
[Yukina's POV]
Marika is anti-social. She never talked to someone before. I remembered. A group of people kidnapped her. That's why she didn't come at here in 2 weeks. Marika's Father do his best just to get her daughter back. After that. Marika's anti-social attitude increased. She's scared when a group of student wants to talk with her. Even me.
I cheered her up many times.
"Marika.. are you okay? Let's eat. I know you're hungry." Yukina said.
"Leave me alone..." Marika replied with a cold voice.
"Well.."
Yukina sits beside her. She starts to sing a song. One of the song of Miku Hatsune. "Tell My World".
While she's singing. Marika looks at her a bit. Listening to her cute voice. Yukina smiles a bit then stopped on singing.
"Your eyes will tell that you're lonely. I know you don't have a friend. So, I'm here to be your friend. Your first friend." Yukina smiles at her then Marika do the same thing. She accepted her request and their friendship starts that day.

Many days passed. Marika keeps herself sleep on that Mansion and didn't eat her food. while Kurumi who acts Marika enjoying herself on Scarlet Dream.

"Be sure." Her mother hang up the phone.
"That was close.. 2 weeks huh? It will forever." Kurumi said then goes outside then she accidentally bumped Ishida.
"Sorry.. Ishida-kun" She said in Marika's voice.
"Ishida-kun? You never call me that before. I thought that you're scared at me?" Ishida looks at her madly.
"What's wrong with you? We're friends already."
"You're not Marika. Who the hell are you? Where is she?"
"I'm Marika. Marika Ayasaki."
"Liar. I noticed it. By your movement and by your voice. Answer me. Who are you? Where is Marika?" Ishida said.
