Chapter 2 part 1
-Drum no Nao -
-Guitar no Tora -
-Bass no Saga -
-Guitar no Hiroto -
-Vocal no Shou -
A deafening sound of polite clapping hands broke into the night club, as the five figures standing on the stage, engaged in their never-ending bows. Then, once again, silence regained control, and the MC courteously requested every member to please say something. They went in order starting from Nao.
Given that all lights were aimed at them, Shou could barely see anything or anybody in the crowd, but he could spot some of the other bands member's that where at the bar, because of the multicolored neon lights around it. Nightmare's Hitsugi was been kept entertained by an already seemingly drunk Uruha, and a rather amused Aoi. Ruka was directing himself somewhere holding two drinks, passing in front of Reita, who suddenly turned to face in his direction; Shou swiftly looked away in embarrassment. As it dawned on him, that there was absolutely no way the bassist could have been looking at him, he turned to look at Hiroto, who was in the middle of his speech.
As he kept on glancing back and forth between Pon and Reita, he surprised himself at the insanely heavy weight of the little green monster on his shoulder. He then rapidly looked at Saga and Tora, who were constantly exchanging tiny little smirks. Nao simply looked ecstatic, borderline hyper. Then again, who wouldn't have? when the biggest dream of your life had finally become true, anyone would think that from then on they'd only be owing life a whole bunch, that was of course, in a perfect world inhabited by cyborgs. Shou was upset realizing the fact that he appeared to be satisfied yet, he wanted more. He was now annoyingly looking all around him, and all he could seem to see was what he lacked and wished for the most; a whole lotta love. Moreover, it seemed like everybody's stare was now directed at him, but since he was lacking attention he might have just imagined that.
However, Hiroto hurriedly nudged him, as he looked down just to find a microphone in his face, he hastily grabbed the object, and tried to look as less embarrassed as he could. He slowly breathed and commenced his monologue
-Hontou ni … I am very grateful. There's is nothing I could wish for more, this is just - he took a brake looking upwards searching for words
-… all I wanted I guess - “Lame” he thought, and then proceeded
-I get to be in this business with the best friends you could ever ask for - “I envy you so much is disgusting” he thought while pointing at them
-Not to talk about family - “Yeah, a love deprived, chibi-freak” he continued thinking as he kept on portraying his best smile
-In the best company - “ that controls your every movement, including what happens below your belt, literally” he proceeded in his war of thoughts
-A whole handful to be grateful just there - he then paused again, and this time he really didn't know what else to say
-… so … - he swiftly added nodding in agreement with himself
-from now on yoroshiku onegai shimasu! - he then bowed and gladly handed the mic over to the MC, who quickly began speaking again, while the band members positioned themselves on the stage.
-Minna-san thank you so much, for the kind words, and with no further ado I give you Alice nine, this is Namae wa, Mada nai! - yelled the MC fleeing off the stage
Shou grabbed the mic, and began acting his role, enjoying every bit of those 5 minutes in which he was Shou, the handsome vocalist of Alice Nine, those five minutes in which, even though it only was mere fan service, his band mates desired him.
The song was completed, and this time, extremely excited clapping filled the place, each member bowed, and hugged each other in enthusiasm, still basking in the moment, hoping that this was really happening. They then gathered together, and looked at each other with satisfied expressions, Nao began talking
-Well this is probably going to be on of the last times, for a while that we are going to be able to have fun, so … - then he patted Hiroto and Shou on their backs, nodded at the other memebrs, and pulling his cell phone out he rushed off the stage. Saga was now looking at Tora, using his head to indicate the back stage.
-Well we better go get changed … for you know … better … socializing … - said Tora smiling at his friends, and following Saga, who was already behind the stage.
-So it's just the two of us, uh? … - uttered Hiroto as he looked around the stage
-Not for long … - resignedly exhaled Shou, who looked below him, just to find Reita, right in front of the stage looking up
-May I please be honored with the next dance? - said the bassist, extending a hand over the stage. Hiroto blushed, still not very used to the whole boyfriend thing.
-Ye~s - he gladly replied grabbing the blond's hand, and then quickly remembering the figure behind him, he looked at Shou with an uncomfortable expressions
-Oh! Don't worry about me! I'll be just fine … - quickly replied Shou, shooing the guitarist off the stage. Yeah I'll definitely be fine, after I make this bar run out of business for tonight, thought Shou as he dragged himself to the liquor paradise.

-Miyavi-san, konban wa! - politely greeted the bouncer at the entrance of the club
-Tokuda-san, hisashiburi~! - replied Miyavi, shaking the rather muscular hand. The bouncer then shifted his attention at the two men behind the singer, who were avoiding eye contact. Acknowledging the bouncer's stare, Miyavi skipped in the direction of the two men, placing himself in-between them, and hanging on their shoulders
-This is Daigoro-san - he said nodding at Yoshiki
-and this is Gonpachi-san - his said nodding at Gackt, who made himself a mental note; if I come out alive, kill the fucking brat!.
The bouncer looked at the two men not knowing whether to just let them in pitying their birth names, or just laugh at them there and then
-I-I see … please enjoy your evening … - concluded the bouncer opening the door, still looking at the two men in amusement.
-Aaaaaaw, we missed it! - yelled Miyavi in mocking disappointment, causing most of the people to turn towards them. If there was something they didn't need, it was attention. Yoshiki and Gackt quickly looked down, as Miyavi, still in between them, dragged them in, under everybody's inquisitive look.
-If they discover us, because of your fucking flamboyant self, I swear … - whispered Gackt
-Relax Gonapa, everything is under control. Ne, Daigo? - replied Miyavi now looking at Yosihki, who seemed to have just realized how deep in the lion's den he had went, and just quickly nodded with a nervous smile.
-Call me that once more, and I'll make sure to turn you into the woman you really are! - grudginly whispered Gackt
-Mmm, kinky! I usually am seme, but for you I'll gladly make an exception - replied Miyavi, who was quickly grabbed by his collar, by a noticeably enraged Gackt. Miyavi simply smiled and kissed the man on this nose
-You are so cute, when your mad - he replied. Evidently Miyavi was already, far to drunk to even listen to any words he was saying. Gackt then looked at his nervous friend behind Miyavi. Why the hell was he acting all weird? He wasn't he the one who wanted to be there. Then, a very disturbing thought filled his mind. He let go of Miyavi, and rushed to Yoshiki.
-Don't tell me … - he looked at the friend in visible annoyance, Yoshiki looked at him
-What? It's an awesome party don't you think … - he replied, Gackt could he didn't mean it.
-What did he promise you? What did you agree on?- yelled Gackt forcing his friend to look at him
-I don't know what your talking about - said Yoshiki shoving his friend away
-This was all a Miyavi's idea, wasn't it? What did you agr-
-Just don't worry about it! - yelled Yoshiki - We are here now, so just relax … and enjoy - continued Yoshiki, who walked past Gack to join with Miyavi.
Gackt was now hitting himself for not noticing earlier. What exactly had Yoshiki agreed on? Miyavi was known for being the impartial link in-between PS Company bands and all non PS Company bands, thus, Gackt couldn't help thinking that they were all just part of one of Miyavi's little games. He sighed in exasperation, seriously considering turning back on his hills, and evacuating the place, but he couldn't just leave Yoshiki. The friend wouldn't admit it, but since X-Japan had disbanded, he was pretty much lost and had no good clue what to do with himself. So he decided to stay, just in case Yoshiki had opted to bring out the worst of himself. In prevision of such situation, he thought it wise to first spend some time with his friends Mojito and Jack Daniel, so he directed himself to the bar.
888---***---888
-Mojito please - dryly said Gackt as he sat at the bar counter
-The fuck am I doing here? I should just go home … - audibly whispered Shou, who was sitting right next to Gackt
-Looks like I am not the only one …- whispered Gackt, as he looked at the bartender making another request - a Jack please - and then settled his stare on the mojito now in front of him.
Shou felt somehow glad to find out he wasn't the only one feeling as aggravated as he did, and looked at the man with a smile of agreement, as the stranger just quickly smiled at him. The man had black hair that was covering part of his face, making him look mysteriously attractive, and his tight black shirt didn't do a good job in hiding his perfect looking body. He wasn't part of any of their bands, that he knew, but if he was there, he most have had something to do with PS. Without detaching his gaze from the beautiful stranger, he decided to find out whether he still knew how to play the game.
-What band do you work for? If you are part of our staff, I apologize for not having acknowledge you until now - kindly asked Shou awaiting for a reply.
Gackt was not in the mood for any sort of interaction, but because of the younger man's polite manner, he decided he was as well going to politely dismiss him.
-I am sor- he commenced, but uddenly stopped as he carefully looked at his unwanted interlocutor. His heart skipped a beat, and soon resumed in rapid acceleration, he couldn't believe his eyes. What were the odds that he was going to meet that one person behind that sacred window, who, earlier that morning, had deprived him of any rationality. Unknowingly, he moved closer to the blonde, as to take a full grasp of him, with an incredulous stare.
Shou could now fully see the man's face, which was shockingly staring at him; he was drop-dead gorgeous. The vocalist began to realize he might have chose a level a little too hard in the game, and began doubting his chances of victory. His mind cluttered, but he had to say something, so he quickly resumed speaking.
-S-so you are one of my staff, I am so sorry I - he began to say, but he ended his excuses when he saw the man in front of him lightly laughing. Shou bit his lower lip in frustration, and instinctively moved back as he felt the stranger getting close to him; he was losing.
Gackt saw the younger man lean away, but he couldn't pull back, he wanted to get closer, he needed to be closer. Most of all he wanted to see those beautiful eyes, which he had suddenly been banned to gaze at.
-Would you please be so merciful to end my pain? - he asked.
-Excuse me? - Shou weakly asked as he kept his gaze on his shoes. Hands sweating, heartbeat slowly gaining speed.
-You wouldn't deprive the sun to a flower, right? - continued Gackt, still maintaining his gaze on the younger man, who simply nodded in negation, still looking else where
-So could you please not deprive my soul of your eyes?- concluded Gackt, as Shou swiftly looked up, looking extremely flushed. Gackt smiled as his plea was granted, he then softly moved out a lock of hair that was covering one of the blonde's eyes, and kindly whispered
-Arigatou -
Shou didn't know what to say, the thinking bar was now emptied; he had lost. They were so close that he could feel the stranger's breath on him, and allowed himself to loose himself in his eyes. Those eyes, there was something about those eyes, he couldn't look away. He then carefully observed the man. Sure he was very handsome, but there was something about him. He just looked too familiar.
-Name? - continued Gackt
-S-shou - stuttered the blonde
-Shou … - replied Gackt, while nodding as if agreeing to the righteousness of the name, but in doing so, his face assumed a funny expression, which originated a giggle in the younger.
-So … we haven't met before? … I feel like … - whispered Shou trying to regain control of the game, as he kept on observing the man who was now practically on top of him
-But then again, is something else … - continued Shou, at which Gackt slowly looked away, backing up a little, feeling he might be recognized.
-If it weren't for the goatee and the hair … I'd say you'd look like ... just like G - but he couldn't finish the sentences. As Gackt heard the letter “G” he quickly looked up at the blonde, and swiftly, but gently pressed their lips together. They stayed in that position. Eyes still open, still lost in each other, both not wanting to withdraw, but desiring more.
Shou was about to get closer, but he instead was suddenly separated as somebody pulled him out of his chair, and placed himself in between him and Gackt, facing the older.
-Ruki! - shouted Shou at the little man, who was in front of him
Ruki was now threateningly looking at Gackt, and began speaking
-I know who you are, what are you doing here? - he demanded
-Ruki calm dow - tried to say Shou
-You stay out of this! - yelled Ruki, grabbing people's attention
-You heard him, I wasn't doing anything wrong … - calmly replied Gackt slowly standing up to face the short vocalist. Ruki slightly giggled in irritation, as he got closer to the taller man.
-Ruki! - yelled Shou as he tried to get closer to the cousin, but was once again pulled by his arm, by someone else. He looked back to find Uruha holding his arm, looking at him in denial. The music stopped. The rest of the club attendants were now directing their attention towards them. Shou quickly turned back to look at Gackt.
-Oi, oi, oi chibi! - interrupted Miyavi as he placed himself between Gackt and Ruki
-Everyone was just having fun … - he concluded bending his head to look straight into Ruki's eyes
-Fuck off Miyavi - whispered Ruki - you know exactly how things work around here, and if this is one of your stupid games, then I suggest you quickly pack up and leave - concluded Ruki. Miyavi kept on giggling, and getting even closer to Ruki's face he resumed speaking
-You are so … not fun - and licked the vocalist cheek, who rapidly lost his calm, and punched the pink haired singer.
-Ruki !- yelled Kai from the crowd, as he attempted to reach the vocalist, when Ruka stopped him. Kai looked at his boyfriend, and unwillingly decided to give up his good volition.
Miyavi hastily got up, and simply smiled, and stopped Yoshiki, who was preparing to landing a punch on the short vocalist face. Bouncers had now made their appearance.
Shou had turned pale, his body weak, and on the verge of tears. Why had this had to happen? How could he have plunged into Hell from heaven in a matter of minutes. He fixed his gaze on Gackt, who was as well looking at him. The bouncer's where now holding Gackt and Yoshiki, who didn't oppose resistance, directing them to the entrance, but Gackt forced himself around, determined to keep his stare on his angel. At each step that Gackt got closer to the exit, Shou's chest began to ache, as if little pieces of heart were slowly being teared off. Maintaining his gaze on Gackt he tried to free himself from Uruha, who just kept him tighter and whispered
-Why would you want to do something so stupid, now at all times? Just forget about him … - but Shou wasn't listening, and managed to free himself from the taller man, and as he directed himself to the exit he suddenly stopped as he heard Ruki's voice saying something as he passed by him
-Are you also going to turn your back on me? - Shou slowly turned towards his cousin, the pain in his chest amplified, as his tears streamed out, and dropped to the floor in frustration.
-Let's go home - said Ruki directing himself to the exit as Miyavi grabbed his arm
-Don't fucking touch me! - retorted Ruki, trying to free himself from the grasp
-So, does this make you feel better now? - asked Miyavi seriously looking at the Ruki, who simply shrugged himself and exited.
The whole club was now silent, still incredulously staring. The proprietor of the club came followed by another bouncer, and kindly asked Miyavi to please leave the club for the night. Miyavi looked at the bouncer, and smiling, he raised both his arms up in sign of surrender, and left the club.
Shou felt a pair of hands behind his shoulder.
-Come. Let's go to my place - gently said Hiroto smiling, as the distraught blonde gradually got himself off the floor. Shou mechanically followed his friend, and keeping his stare blankly fixed forwards he unemotionally asked his best friend
-How could something that felt so right and innocent, cause so much harm and pain? -
-I don't know Shou, I don't know … - replied Hiroto also keeping his stare forward, fearing he would have broke into tears, by just glancing at vocalist.
