***Miyavi's POV***
~~
I can't believe how much fun I've been having.
I'm even enjoying school for a change.
It's because of my new friends.
I spend all my free time with them.
Hell, we've even been studying together.
And much to my father's surprise, my grades have improved.
I blame that on my 'study buddy'.
Kai.
He's really amazing.
Not only does he kick ass on drums, he's smart as hell, too.
And then there's that dimple.
I'm completely infatuated with the dimple.
Everytime he flashes it, my heart races.
Yeah, I got it bad.
I think he likes me, too.
But I don't know if it's in quite the same way.
For some reason, I can't bring myself to ask.
I guess it's because I really don't want to know if we can only be friends.
I see the others, hanging around the front of the school.
Looks like they're waiting for me.
"Sorry, guys. The dipshit that tries teaching my last class has no idea what the bell means."
They all laugh.
Kai flashes that adorable dimple.
Yeah, there go my knees.
Turning to jelly while my brain turns to mush.
And then I realize I've missed part of the conversation.
"Sorry. What?" way to sound stupid.
Kai giggles as Ruki answers "We were talking about tests. Who has what this week."
"Oh. I got a shitload."
"So we should all study more and play less," Kai says.
"Play? You mean the band? Hell no! I'm not giving up any band time," Ruki's almost shouting.
Uruha leans a bit closer, "Ruki's folks are asses about him singing. If he slows down, they'll think they've won."
I nod, understanding the fight for independance only too well.
Kai's shaking his head, holding his hands in front of him.
"Not the band. We keep rehearsing as usual. I was thinking of the goofing-off some of you do."
He says the last looking at Aoi.
"I do not goof off."
Uruha's laughing "How many times have you fallen asleep in class? And let's not forget the skipping."
"You did that too," Aoi points a finger at his boyfriend.
"Anyway," Kai get's everyone's attention back to him "We need more studying and less goofing-off. At least until this round of tests are over."
"I haven't goofed-off yet," I volunteer.
"Oh right, like you're a 'good boy'!" Ruki scoffs.
I try out my most innocent, wounded look.
Which only makes the others laugh.
Shaking his head, Kai turns to the others "See you guys later for practice. But make sure you study."
I give them a half-wave as I start after Kai.
"Can I..?" I start, not sure if he wants me along.
"Absolutely," he smiles, "I'd love the company."
~~
The next day, I get to school early.
Hoping I'll run into Kai.
Coming around the corner, I stop.
Seeing him talking with somebody I don't know.
I try to slip closer, wanting to catch any bit of the conversation.
I know eavesdropping is wrong, but something doesn't seem right.
And I need to figure it out.
"You're too trusting," the strange kid's saying to Kai.
"What do any of you really know about him? Either of them? It's not right."
"No, Yune. You're what's not right," Kai answers, trying to brush past him.
I look the guy over.
So this is the former bass player.
"But you don't know anything. It's bad enough you let the others convince you into kicking me out."
Kai looks uncomfortable.
I take a step forward as he starts speaking again.
"And this new guy? From what I've heard, he's really trouble. I'm just looking out for you."
Now I wanna kick this guys ass.
Finally, he let's Kai leave.
But not before spreading more poison.
I wait.
Following the jerk as he moves off towards a small group of kids.
They smile when he walks up.
I move to one side, hoping they won't notice.
Listening to their conversation.
Getting madder by the second.
Now he's insulting Kai.
This guy really is an ass.
~~
"What the hell happened to him?" Aoi asks, looking behind me.
I turn, already expecting to see their ex-bassist.
"Oh, that. I overheard him talking to Kai this morning. He was talking shit about you guys. And me. Then he went and started spouting the same crap to some others. Including Kai on his list of targets. I decided to shut him up."
Aoi stares for a minute.
Making me worry.
Then he laughs, clapping a hand on my shoulder.
"You know," Aoi starts as we walk to our next class "You'll probably get into trouble for that."
"Yeah. Here and at home."
I wasn't looking forward to it.
But the guy did deserve it.
"About that. I've got an idea. What'd'ya say I help you out?"
He procedes to tell me what he has in mind.
~~
I meet up with the others after school.
"Aoi's gonna be late," Uruha's telling them as I walk up.
"It seems he got a detention."
"What?" the others seem shocked.
"Yeah, didja see Yune today? Somebody kicked his ass. Aoi says it was him."
Uruha looks at me, "But for some reason I don't believe him."
"Maybe Yune said something he didn't like," Ruki offers. "I know he's pissed me off more than once."
"Yeah, that's possible. But the weird part is, he won't tell me anything about it."
"Maybe he's embarrassed that he lost his temper," Kai adds.
Now Reita's looking at me strangely, too.
It's making me a bit uncomfortable.
Lying to them.
"Look," I finally tell them, "Aoi's protecting me. I overheard Yune talking shit about..well, all of us. And he wouldn't listen when I tried talking to him. Things got out of hand. I hit him. I'm sorry," I say the last directly to Kai.
Knowing he probably doesn't approve.
"Aoi volunteered to take the heat so that I don't get shit at home. I shouldn't've let him," the last I say to Uruha.
Knowing that it's my fault he's missing time with his boyfriend.
"Don't worry about it," Uruha says "I'm sure Yune was being his usual sweet self. Besides, Aoi's folks won't do anything to him for fighting."
I can't believe how cool he's being about this.
I chance a look at Kai.
He's not smiling.
But he's not scowling either.
I take that as a good sign.
~~
Kai waits until the others are gone before turning to me.
"Wanna tell me what you overheard?"
I drop my head, not meeting his eyes.
"What he was saying to you this morning. Then I followed him. Like I said, he was talking crap about all of us."
"Even me?"
"Yeah," I muttered, looking back up at him.
"Thank you for protecting us. But you really don't need to. Especially from Yune. He's harmless."
"No. He's not. He's like a snake. Spreading poison. You can't let him get away with it or he'll keep doing it."
"Well, I think you took care of that."
And then he smiles at me.
I guess everything's Ok, then.
I breathe a sigh of relief.
~~
A/N: Dammmmm. Ruki's b-day and the chappie is pretty much all Miyavi. Oh well, Rei and Ru had fun already....so, I'm just moving the story along.
