Chapter 11:

She: Devouring

That One Fan


''Happiness comes with food''

Everyone can relate to delicious food, it doesn't matter where you come from everyone eats. All kinds of foods connect us with different cultures. A long day after work or school you would want a nice yummy meal afterwards to make you happy. 

A couple of days past 

It was finally the day of Itsuki Jiro's concert in the Tokyo Dome. Eri still being a downer in her room, after running away from Hina and Ryo. Her emotions couldn't be any lower at this point early in the morning.

- Even though her popularity is still high at this point the video still getting viewed 

''My world is empty, no one sees me'' 

''It's just me and myself'' Eri expresses herself 

As Eri gets up from her bed emotionless looking like a zombie. Her room was still dark with those blinds covering the sunlight away from her. In her pyjamas and slippers, she meanders over to the bathroom to brush her teeth and skincare routine.

- That feeling of darkness awakened inside Eri

''I couldn't agree more... mom'' 

''I just want to devour this world''

- A teardrop down from Eri's face

''No one cares, No one loves me anymore'' 

- Eri's mother was the only person who loved her with all her heart

(15 Years ago)

That smile of joy, adorable face of her glowing as she ran towards her mom and dad. Eri was that ray of sunshine that all her friends were inspired to be. She was a very extroverted child and got along with everyone. 

- Eri runs to her mom

''Mom will I be a star?'' Eri questioned

''Yes my baby will be a star in the future'' Eri's mom answered back

- Eri gives a gentle hug to her mom

(Back to the present day)

It's an evil world out there, things never go out how they are supposed to be. Eri didn't become a star like how she wanted to be. From being a ray of sunshine to being a dark black hole ready to devour. 

- Eri getting dressed up in a white dress and denim jacket, with white sneakers

''An angel in disguise outfit''

''Ready to go to a concert for the rising star idol Itsuki Jiro''

(4 hours later)

It was time to go out now 4 pm it was time to go out for Eri. At the usual time, she goes out and strolls around the park. The sun is still up and shining, the concert time being 7 pm. Eri steps out of the door but sees numerous amounts of people with Itsuki Jiro merch.

''More people raving about their favourite musician celebrities'' Eri talks in her mind

- Eri walked slowly behind the fans who were also off to the station

''This is his second concert in Tokyo''

''His songs are so good''

''I can't wait for Ego it shows off his coolness'' 

''I want Angel that song is so beautiful'' 

''That first EP has so many great songs''

- As the fans have a conversation about Itsuki Jiro

Eri ignores all the talks about Itsuki. As her annoyance is still inside due to celebrity privilege and treatment. She couldn't be bothered much anymore, just walking to the concert is painful and tragic for her.

- As her stardom was never meant to be 

''My dream is over and shattered'' Eri thinks in her mind

''Hey has anyone seen that Eri Koji video?''

''They are talking about me?'' Eri wondering

''Yes her presence is out of this world even comparable to Itsuki's, who sold out the Tokyo Dome''

''Wait it's sold out?'' Eri thinks in her head

''I wonder who and where she is now?''

''Nothing has been heard no new updates about her''

''Oh she was recently seen with Hina Edo in a Japanese restaurant''

''Wait really?'' 

''Yes, apparently she stormed out of frustration'' 

As the Wota's (J-pop idol fans) ramble on and on about the latest news on J-pop. They walk off together into the station with a hidden no presence Eri Koji behind the Wota's. Heading off over to the platform going to Korakuen Station the nearest station to the Tokyo Dome. 

-The whole platform was packed full of fans heading to the arena 

''Never have I seen so many people in the station'' Eri amazed at how many people there were

- Others ramble about Itsuki

''Never have I seen a debut like that''

''His potential is overwhelming''

''His first concert showed for sure''

''He had a weird blue aura that glowed the stage''

''It was weird, but it hooked my eyes I couldn't take it off him''

A weird blue aura that captured the fans' eyes. It was like something that's seen out of fiction. It couldn't possibly happen right, blue aura that's ridiculous. 

- This got Eri confused about Itsuki's aura

''Blue Aura?'' 

The camera zooms into Eri's eyes and zooms out cutting to her looking at the Tokyo Dome

The iconic Tokyo Dome is the host of many important baseball games, also the famous musicians' concerts and events. But I'm here to watch a star-rising J-Pop idol by the name of Itsuki Jiro.

''Will his concert change my mind as he says'' 

''I do get to see the idol life of Itsuki Jiro today'' 

- Eri wondered all of this in her head 

Eri readying up to get into the arena now as it was time currently 6:30 pm, and the concert starts at 7 pm. When it was time to enter Eri hadn't looked at the ticket. There was a big bold lettering of VIP in the top left corner.

''VIP!'' Eri screamed a little too loud as she said it

Many stared after that exclamation from Eri. Many didn't recognize her at first due to her unknown status. As soon as people moved their heads and looked more they all recognized the unknown idol.

''Is that Eri Koji?''

Eri ran as fast as possible as soon as she heard that. Straight to the VIP entering which had a red carpet entering. Other musicians from over the world and celebrities also entered to see Itsuki Jiro. 

''I'm really out of my depth here'' Eri still speaking in her mind

But as soon as she thought...

''Everyone please give way for Hina Edo'' A security bodyguard yelled 

''Hina is here too?''

Both Eri and Hina arrived at Itsuki's concert. What will come of this...
