Chapter 8 part 2
Waiting for someone, whom he had no either whether would show up or not, was entirely different from waiting for someone, who was supposed to have been there exactly ten minutes ago. Gackt looked at his cell phone for the umpteenth second in the past five minutes, and where he could distinctly remember having felt thrilled in waiting for the blonde vocalist that one time in front of the PSC building, this time he believed that even the member of L'arc~en~ciel, who were waiting in the limousine he was tensely leaning on, could feel the extremely worried rhythm of his heartbeat. Shou hadn't called, or even text, something was wrong.
-Gakucha~n -said Hyde as he picked his head out of the luxurious car window, hanging his hands out as well, with an expression that vaguely made him look like a bored canine -Ga-Ku-Chan! - he then exclaimed with a louder tone, which successfully won the troubled man's attention, who merely turned to look at the shorter vocalist, and raised his eyebrows in a questioning motion.
-Maybe he is just not going to show up … - suggested Hyde
-He would have text, or something … maybe I should go - hastily replied the taller brunette, getting off the car side.
-Don't be rash, you know you can't just show up like that - calmly warned the singer - how about you call? -he then concluded looking up at the brunette, who at first didn't seem to sure about the suggestion, but then appeared to comply, as his expression suddenly gave space to second thoughts as he voiced out his hypotheses.
-He could be stuck somewhere … -
-Yeah! - strongly agreed the short vocalist, lightly hitting the side of the car as to intensify his agreement
-Or he could be needing help … - newly suggested the singer, looking at the clock on the phone, which now showed 10:15.
-Yeah! - replied the shorter vocalist, this time in a tone that seem more like it meant to say whatever
-I'll call … - concluded Gackt simply pressing the green call button, knowing that the blonde was the last, an probably only, person he had called through the entire day.
-Yeah … - lastly whispered the vocalist, as he dropped himself back into the limousine.
The phone incessantly rang, and just when he thought it would have escorted him to the undesired voice mail machine, to his immense relief, the call was finally picked.
-M-moshi moshi … o-okaasan? … - hesitantly answered the blonde vocalist
-Thank God, Shou are you ...okaasan? - confusedly asked the brunette, who quickly took the phone, and checked that he had dialed the right number - … Shou? -
-Of course it's me okaasan, who else! - nervously laughed the other - how are you doing? Why calling so late? - he then swiftly added
-Are you drunk already? … - cautiously asked the brunette, who was trying really hard to keep his frustration abide, considering all the panic he had been abusing himself with, just to be confronted with a blissfully drunk ditcher.
-Oh! I did promise I would have called you at ten, right okaaasan - went on Shou, as he continuously stressed some of the words, particularly the word okaasan, which meaning suddenly struck his still frenziedly working brain …
-I am with Ruki and other friends, we are going to go out soon … - replied the other, continuing his emphasizing process, which Gackt had readily caught on, as his suspicions were proven right.
- … So tonight is not going to work, uh? … - he asked the blonde with a tiny smirk, which the blonde seemed to have caught on as well, since his reply had been more relaxed
-Yeah ... so I will call you tomorrow okay? - whispered the blonde, in a tone that almost felt sorrowfull
-I guess ... Uuuuuh, I really wanted to see you tonight - replied in protest the singer, and swiftly added with a husky tone - … and the following morning -
- Don't worry okay okasan, I'll be careful - replied the blonde with light laughter - … I love you - he then happened with a soft whisper.
-Love you too honey - replied Gackt, playfully imitating a mother's tone, receiving a chuckle from his lover, before they both hanged up.
-So can go plea~se? - sang the shorter vocalist from inside the car
-Hai hai - swiftly replied Gackt as he entered the car, and sat next to whining singer
-Good cause we have so many clubs I want to hit tonight - excitedly replied Hyde - and we are just wasting time here waiting for a failed Cinderella! - concluded Hyde folding his arms on his chest
-Says our princess - observed Ken with a laughter - It's like you are fun-frustrated!-
-Well it was kinda like that too - explained their vocalist with a grin - James you can take us to our first stop please - kindly ordered the singer turning around to face his driver.
-Understood - simply replied the driver as he started the engine
-A~w Gakuchan, don't look like that - softly requested the singer, almost in mocking tone - you'll have fun tonight, even without Cinderella I promise, at which the brunette simply smirked looking out the window
-And by the way, who said you could give him nicknames, and why Cinderella? - quickly retorted Gackt looking at the utterly amused vocalist.
-It's a princess thing … they apparently all have their mutual understanding - readily answered Yukihiro, as they all laughed, except from Hyde, and Gackt, who was still weird out about the whole princess thing.
-Can you guess what princess I am? - asked Hyde, looking at the indescribable look on his friends face, which seemed to be saying Are you really, really, asking my that?
-Well Aurora of course, number one, I mean duh! - quickly replied the short singer, knowing that the other wouldn't have replied, as he laughed with the rest of his band mates
-You are all crazy … - whispered Gackt in reply, as he returned his gaze outside the window, wondering how he always happened to find himself in company of such peculiar people, and he didn't dislike it, they kept him company, and he was grateful, but … princesses? He smirked to himself, beginning to finding it even just a bit amusing, imagining Shou as Cinderella, but he quickly shook the thought off inwardly thanking a nonexistent god, for saving himself from having to present them to his beloved Shou, yet, he stopped himself from singing victory, remembering the promise he had made with Miyavi.
-Oh! Oh! James please turn up the volume! - fervidly ordered Hyde, as he excitedly jumped on his seat using his index finger to motion his friends to sing with him, as if the director of an orchestra.
-Kimi ga oikaketa yume nara, kizutsuku koto ni osorenai de~ - they all loudly sang, as Hyde pushed the silent brunette's shoulder, wanting him to sing as well, given that it was his song anyways.
-God … - simply whispered - furueru yoru ni wa kimi wo dakishimeteageyou dakara - joined Gackt, receiving appreciative whistles in response, as they all happily continued in the joyful devastation of the brunette's song, who couldn't help but release an amused laughter. Maybe, it wasn't going to be as bad of an evening after all. Maybe.
888---***---888
-Why didn't you call obasan before, if you had promised her to?- suspiciously asked Ruki, as he eyed his cousin, while sipping his apple juice -making her worry like that … It's unlike you - he then concluded, placing his cup down
-I forgot, big deal … - shrugged the the taller blonde, looking at the empty plate in front of him
-Well shall we go? We've all finished there is no point in sitting here doing nothing, we were supposed to have fun right! - suddenly blurt out Uruha, as he stood up, grabbing Ruki by the arm
-Uru, wait … - tried to protest the shorter man, but with no avail, as the rest of the crew closely followed behind them. He didn't mind Uruha's enthusiasm, but he was still suspicious about the call that his cousin had just received, and didn't want to leave his sight not even for a second, in case hid miss a crucial action, or any sort of give away. He didn't know exactly what he was looking for, but he wouldn't let his guard down, to avoid regretting it later.
-Just let him be, will you … - whispered Uruha, as they walked out the house, but the shorter didn't reply and simply asked
-Who's driving? - Uruha lowly sighed in resignation from being so blatantly ignored, and pointing at Ruki he replied
-You of course! I am not drunk yet, but I practically finished the two bottles I brought … I wouldn't trust me with that - he then smiled
-True … - whispered the vocalist turning around to check on the other four, as they proceed behind the house to his garage.
-So we meet there? - Proposed Reita, as he and Hiroto, were walking to his car
-Sound good - quickly replied Ruki, as he unlocked his car
-Coming with me? - asked Yasuno looking at Shou, who merely nodded in agreement -okay, so see you guys there - added Yasuno with a smile, at which Ruki smiled, and quickly entered his car, with the taller honey blonde already sitting besides him, he turned his engine one, and drove out.
-You are being paranoid … I can tell …. - suddenly uttered the honey blonde staring at the road in front of him, with a displeased expression
-You can make such assumptions even while inebriated? … - calmly asked the vocalist keeping his gaze on the street as well
-It doesn't take a genius, and you are getting obnoxious … - quickly replied the older, resting his head on his hand, on the side of the car.
Ruki didn't reply, he knew that what his friend was saying was right, but had no intention of ending what he was doing. He was actually cursing himself for not having explained the situation to Yasuno, since now, even if his cousin were to do something suspicious, the pink haired drummer wouldn't have been able to know. He sighed, looking at the car behind him from his rear-view mirror, knowing it was the drummer's, as if by doing so he could check what Shou was doing. It really was getting to his head, but he couldn't help it, he needed to protect his cousin; this time, he wouldn't have failed to protect those who were dear to him.
As they walked up to the entrance of the club, he stopped right next to it, and silently waited for the others to arrive.
-By the way, you are sucky date … - uttered Uruha with a light smirk, kneeling on the wall, waiting as well. The singer grinned, catching the the elder's joking tone, given that they weren't really dating. However, it was true that the elder was still doing a favor tonight, as a good friend, and the vocalist knew that he had been all but thankful, as he completely ignored the friend throughout the whole dinner, pretending to listen to him, when he was intently scrutinizing his cousin. Feeling guilty, he leaned on the wall next to his band mate, and sighed.
-I am really sorry Uru … I'll make it up to you, I promise - he then whispered
-You better - chuckled the other and turned to look at the shorter with a wide smile, as they got of the wall noticing the rest of the party walking towards them.
As they got in, they hardly made their way through the crowd, and reached the back of the club where all the reserved cubicles were located, Ruki lead them to a particular one, which was positioned in such a way that allowed a good vision of the entrance, but also the rest of the club as well. They sat on the leather couches around the wide cubic coffee table, all but Uruha, who motioned towards the bar, and quickly left.
The place was overcrowded and obviously too loud, which didn't allow the shorter vocalist to hear whatever Yasuno was whispering to his cousin, even though they were all sitting very close to each other. After receiving a reply from Shou, the drummer left in the same direction Uruha had gone, subsequently followed by Reita. The vocalist was now realizing that a club wasn't exactly the best place that allowed any type of active espionage, when it wasn't even possible to hear any sort of conversation, or observe unusual actions in the semi darkness. He smirked to himself in the realization of all of that; he had made a miscalculation after all.
Yasuno, had come back with two drinks, followed by Reita, who was only carrying one. Shou politely accepted the offered drink as Yasuno smiled, and sat next to him sipping his, while Reita simply placed his drink on the table, as he brought his arm behind Hiroto's head, leaning over to whisper into the younger one's ear, who contently chuckled. Uruha wasn't back yet, but the vocalist didn't seem to worry, knowing that the guitarist would have probably worked on sending the bar out of business, and he was going to drive them home anyways.
Everything was proceeding perfectly. As Ruki had righteously suspected, the guitarist was busing himself with his dear liquor, as he occasionally spotted his friend's figure sitting at the bar, clenching to his empty cup, asking for more. Yasuno had long time brought Shou to the dance floor, and to Ruki's contentment, they had gone not to far off where he couldn't see them, and Hiroto and Reita were busy making out in front of him, tightly wrapped in each other on the leather couch, with Reita's drink still waiting untouched on the table.
The vocalist attention was then diverted when he saw a waving hand in his direction, and he looked closely just to find its owner to be a radiant looking Kai, who was closely followed by Ruka. He then waved back replying with glad smile, relieved that the brunette had actually kept his promise, but his sense of comfort was quickly swept aside, as he distinctly saw Ruka roughly pulling on their drummer, while turning around dragging Kai with him. The younger drummer was able to turn around once, and Ruki thought he saw an apologetic expression on the now smile-less face off the younger brunette.
-Oi! - yelled the blonde vocalist, startling Reita and Hiroto, as he quickly got up his chair in pursuit of their drummer, completely forgetting about his guarding post. He forcefully tried to push himself through the crowed, and even though he was too far from the couple, he had somehow managed to skillfully gain some ground as he continued in his rustle, until the entrance had been in sight again, and he could spot Kai's back, who was now being dragged out the entrance. The vocalist was about to make the run towards his target, but suddenly stopped on his tracks. His eyes quickly widened, and his heartbeat swiftly raised to an insanely high pace, as his body began to shiver at the sight that suddenly slammed in front of him. Hyde.
He couldn't move, he couldn't think, for the first time, for the first time in two long years, he was now standing in front of the one man he had ever loved, and that he thought he had failed to protect. Not to long, the other vocalist's stupefied gaze suddenly locked with his. Hyde also froze, as Ruki witnessed the elder's stupor quickly turn into utmost horror. The blonde vocalist had no more recollection of where he was, or what he was doing, as his body slowly began to walk towards the other singer, who had as well slowly began to step backwards, still keeping their incredulous gazes on each other.
Sensing the elder's intention, Ruki instinctively began running, intending to chase down the vocalist, who had fled, swiftly followed by the rest of his party, or so he thought, until he felt a strong hand pulling him away from the entrance, he hastily looked at the owner of the hand, and found an impassive looking Tetsu.
-let me go - harshly hissed Ruki trying the best he could to free himself from the grip, but the other simply ignored him making the grip even tighter, as he silently observed the struggling man in his arm, with an emotionless expression. Unsuccessful in his attempt, and caught in deepest frustration, the short vocalist acted instinctively, and raised his fist, wanting to harshly hit the staring bassist, but stopped, when he heard a voice directed at them.
-What's going on here? - suddenly asked a usher, who had been watching the scene from the entrance, and quickly speed walked towards the two men. Tetsu calmly freed Ruki, and nonchalantly smiled at the guard
-Nothing. I apologize, I thought he was someone el- he tried to say, but was interrupted by Ruki, who had quickly made his way out the entrance, as he pushed both the bassist and the usher out of his way. Once he reached out, he frantically turned his head in all directions, almost losing hope until he saw a familiar limousine driving past him, and not thinking straight, he did the first thing that felt natural; ran. He chased the car the fastest his short legs could, he ran, and ran, but he was only human, and soon enough the machine had disappeared from his sight, once again, gone. He stayed there, standing in the middle of the road, fixing the direction where the limousine had disappeared, wanting to fall down and cry, but not finding the strength to even do that, and without noticing he had walked back to the club.
-Fuck! - he loudly cursed as he held both his hands in his hair, turning around towards the wall behind him.
-Fuck, fuck, fuck!- he frustratedly repeated, while he violently kicked the facing wall
-Sir I will have to ask you to stop - said a strong voice next to him, and recognizing it to be the same voice as the usher, who had previously confronted him, he had suddenly remember about Testu, and ignoring the guard he swiftly ran to the entrance, bu the bassist was no longer there. They were all gone Testu, Hyde and … Kai.
-Fuck!- he cursed himself again as he suddenly remembered their drummer
-Ruki! What happened? - yelled Reita, who was approaching him, as he disentangled himself from a couple of dancers.
-Kai … - absently whispered Ruki, as he walked passed their bassist, towards their table
-What? - quickly replied the taller blonde, getting a hold of the vocalist - Ruki, what happened? - he then asked once more.
The vocalist replied with a faint smile, and shook his head, while gently placing his hand on Reita's grip, freeing himself. What had he done? How was he able to fuck up everything in the passage of a few minutes? He couldn't see the effects of his actions at the moment, but he felt it, he knew he had messed up things big time, for himself, for Hyde, for Kai ... for everyone. He then resumed his slow walk towards his seat, which was slowed even further by the occasional couple that bumped into him, and that he didn't bother to avoid, as he cursed lady Faith, while sulking in his hatred for lady Luck, and desperately wishing he could fuck the hell out of lady Pain.

He forcefully tried to push himself through the crowed, and even though he was too far from the couple, he had somehow managed to skillfully gain some ground as he continued in his rustle, until the entrance had been in sight again, and he could spot Kai's back, who was now being dragged out the entrance. The vocalist was about to make the run towards his target, but suddenly stopped on his tracks. His eyes quickly widened, and his heartbeat swiftly raised to an insanely high pace, as his body began to shiver at the sight that suddenly slammed in front of him. Hyde.
He couldn't move, he couldn't think, for the first time, for the first time in two long years, he was now standing in front of the one man he had ever loved, and that he thought he had failed to protect. Not to long, the other vocalist's stupefied gaze suddenly locked with his. Hyde also froze, as Ruki witnessed the elder's stupor quickly turn into utmost horror. The blonde vocalist had no more recollection of where he was, or what he was doing, as his body slowly began to walk towards the other singer, who had as well slowly began to step backwards, still keeping their incredulous gazes on each other.
Sensing the elder's intention, Ruki instinctively began running, intending to chase down the vocalist, who had fled, swiftly followed by the rest of his party, or so he thought, until he felt a strong hand pulling him away from the entrance, he hastily looked at the owner of the hand, and found an impassive looking Tetsu.
-let me go - harshly hissed Ruki trying the best he could to free himself from the grip, but the other simply ignored him making the grip even tighter, as he silently observed the struggling man in his arm, with an emotionless expression. Unsuccessful in his attempt, and caught in deepest frustration, the short vocalist acted instinctively, and raised his fist, wanting to harshly hit the staring bassist, but stopped, when he heard a voice directed at them.
-What's going on here? - suddenly asked a usher, who had been watching the scene from the entrance, and quickly speed walked towards the two men. Tetsu calmly freed Ruki, and nonchalantly smiled at the guard
-Nothing. I apologize, I thought he was someone el- he tried to say, but was interrupted by Ruki, who had quickly made his way out the entrance, as he pushed both the bassist and the usher out of his way. Once he reached out, he frantically turned his head in all directions, almost losing hope until he saw a familiar limousine driving past him, and not thinking straight, he did the first thing that felt natural; ran. He chased the car the fastest his short legs could, he ran, and ran, but he was only human, and soon enough the machine had disappeared from his sight, once again, gone. He stayed there, standing in the middle of the road, fixing the direction where the limousine had disappeared, wanting to fall down and cry, but not finding the strength to even do that, and without noticing he had walked back to the club.
-Fuck! - he loudly cursed as he held both his hands in his hair, turning around towards the wall behind him.
-Fuck, fuck, fuck!- he frustratedly repeated, while he violently kicked the facing wall
-Sir I will have to ask you to stop - said a strong voice next to him, and recognizing it to be the same voice as the usher, who had previously confronted him, he had suddenly remember about Testu, and ignoring the guard he swiftly ran to the entrance, bu the bassist was no longer there. They were all gone Testu, Hyde and … Kai.
-Fuck!- he cursed himself again as he suddenly remembered their drummer
-Ruki! What happened? - yelled Reita, who was approaching him, as he disentangled himself from a couple of dancers.
-Kai … - absently whispered Ruki, as he walked passed their bassist, towards their table
-What? - quickly replied the taller blonde, getting a hold of the vocalist - Ruki, what happened? - he then asked once more.
The vocalist replied with a faint smile, and shook his head, while gently placing his hand on Reita's grip, freeing himself. What had he done? How was he able to fuck up everything in the passage of a few minutes? He couldn't see the effects of his actions at the moment, but he felt it, he knew he had messed up things big time, for himself, for Hyde, for Kai ... for everyone. He then resumed his slow walk towards his seat, which was slowed even further by the occasional couple that bumped into him, and that he didn't bother to avoid, as he cursed lady Faith, while sulking in his hatred for lady Luck, and desperately wishing he could fuck the hell out of lady Pain.
