Chapter 2

All these ideas flowing through my mind. Poor poor Ahri.

"Thank goodness she survived." Seraphine says, her eyes puffy thanks to the tears she cried earlier after witnessing the horrific scene that played out right in front of their very eyes.

The media had a field day with this, not that the other members cared though they put on a good show to make it look like they cared. Around that same time, a producer by the name of Minako leaked out some audio and video recordings of Ahri showing exactly what type of sound she wanted.

A lot of fans were shocked and concluded that maybe KDA does not suit her and that the r'n'b style she was working on suited her better. People began to feel sympathy for the girl. Suspicions soon grew as many believed that the other members purposely sabotaged Ahri because they felt that she would become a threat to their popularity.

As if that wasn't enough, many long time fans began to bring up more from Ahri's musical past. Way before KDA and her solo career, she was a part of two musical girl groups; Girlz Tyme, a hip hop girl group and Shyne, an actual Kpop girl group more in line with Ahri's previous cutesy image. Girlz Tyme were forced to disband because the label that they were under went bankrupt. Shyne did not get that much chart success and only released one album.

That made many to question KDA and their management even more as there is evidence of Ahri acting like a big sister and mother of the team and acting selfless. So why the sudden bullying?

Almost immediately, all of Ahri's solo songs begin to shoot up to the the charts, her debut single topping the charts as her fans, especially the Korean and Japanese ones begin to buy, download and stream her songs as a way to spite the rest of KDA and their label Harvest Moon Music.

"Ahri is and will always be our Queen and It Girl. Fuck the haters!!" says one Korean fan. "we have been sounding the alarm!! Why did the rest of you not notice?!!" another fan posts online.

This wave of support soon inspires many to come forward and defend Ahri. Her former bandmates from Shyne and Girlz Tyme tweet for her.

"Ahri is the most hardworking girl ever. I do not know why her label keeps treating her like shit. The poor girl called me once and was crying because she keeps injuring her left ankle. Yet they make me fucking work!! It is not right!! That is not how you treat a star!! They even locked her up in the damn dungeon and pushed the others to do shit. Ahri never got any collabo or solo work!! Eve got most of that shit followed by Akali!! Even Kai'sa got some collabo work as well!! Also Ahri has not been getting much lines or screentime and you mean to make me believe that she is the main vocalist?!! Fuck out of here!! Ahri can rap way better than Akali and Kai'sa combined!! She does not dance much because of her injuries and her mental health issues!!" Kelsie, her Girlz Tyme bandmate posts in a thread that gets thousands of retweets.

"Kelsie is right and even we Shyne can concur that Ahri is the best leader and the most talented woman ever. She was the lead rapper of Shyne btw just like in Girlz Tyme. I wish we had not disbanded then. The poor girl does not deserve the hate that you Blades are throwing at her. You are supposed to protect her!! Not tear her down!!" says Aleeysha, the main vocalist of Shyne.

"Don't forget that one time some fan shot her on stage. Bet you haters had a field day with that one. Such disgusting behaviour." adds Xayah, an old friend of Ahri's.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Kai'sa breaks down once again with Akali and Eve comforting her. It seems that the damage has been done. And even if Ahri wakes up and probably remembers them, there is a chance that the girl would never forgive any of them.

"W-We were all so selfish. We never once thought about Ahri and how she truly felt about stuff." says Kai'sa. "It's ok Kai'sa." says Seraphine as she gently rubs Kai'sa's back.

Just then, Ahri begins to stir. "Guys, she's moving!!" says Seraphine. They immediately rush to Ahri's side. "Ok ow. My head hurts." the fox grumbles. They all hug her instantly.

"WHAT THE-"

"Ahri we are so sorry!!" says Akali. "Forgive us please!" says Evelynn.

"Get the fuck off me."

Her cold tone caught them offguard but it was not surprising. They obeyed and let go of her. Ahri glares venomously at the others, making them even Eve to feel uncomfortable.

"Explain why you bitches taught it would be nice to replace my voice with some backup singer's vocals. Am I really that bad of a singer to you? Also why did you give me that horrendous track huh? Just to prop up Eve and Akali since Akali was the breakout star last time and also since Eve used to be the top diva of her generation? Also Eve why would you drag poor Sera into this? She is still so young. Plus Eve I know you purposely sabotaged the girl to make her look bad!!" she asks all those questions whilst scrutinizing the others.

"Ahri you are being paranoid. None of th-"

Ahri quickly pulls out her phone and plays a series of audio recordings that more or less exposed the other three members of KDA. Seraphine gasps as she listens to everything.

"I cannot believe that I looked up to you guys!!"

Ahri simply unhooks the IV and other stuff without caring about her health. "No Miss you cannot-"

"No Doctor. I have to leave this place before these bitches send me to my grave." The doctor had no choice but to respect her wishes and helped her out, even bandaging up her wounds. "Sera, you are coming with me." says Ahri. Seaphine had no choice but to obey Ahri and walks out of the room. Ahri takes one last look at the others before saying, "Let's see how you three can cope without me. I bet you would happily enjoy your spotlight without me there since I am the useless one."

With that she walks off, leaving a confused band behind. "But Ahri, what you are doing is dangerous." says Seraphine. Ahri simply smirks smugly. "Oh we shall see."

There were paparazzi camped outside and as soon as they see Ahri, they begin to take pictures and hound her but Ahri ignores them and instead gets into the limo that was waiting for her outside. Seraphine gets in with her and the limo then takes off.

"Where to Miss Ahri?' the limo driver Jack asks.

"I am leaving for Kyoto tonight. Seraphine is coming with me." she says. Seraphine stares at her in confusion. "Why Kyoto?"

Ahri smiles softly. "That is my true birth home Sera."
