A/N: Well, I had this idea when I saw this music video. Anyway, since I couldn't come up with another poem for this anime/manga… I decided to write this story! For ten days I had this idea stuck in my head, but I didn't know how to start it until I saw the music video. Okay, enough rambling… Let's get on with the show!!
Disclaimer: I wished I owned Yami no Matsuei. Is that a clear disclaimer? Come on, I can't own this! I'm poor! And I do own the song Lost Highway which is owned by Bon Jovi and Wake Up Call by Maroon 5.
Time To Say It
Things had gotten a bit more smoother in the life of Chief Konoe, and he had decided to let his minions (in his eyes) to take a vacation. He had other plans, so he knew he wasn't going to tag along. "What a shame," he said as he packed his suitcase. "Oh well! Sunny skies, relaxation, and alone time here I come!"
Meanwhile the rest were still trying to think up of where to go for their vacation. They would have gone on vacations alone, except for the fact that the majority of the money vanished mysteriously. "I don't get why we all have to go on a vacation together while the chief goes to his by himself!" Tsuzuki whined.
"Because he took the majority of the money. A better question-- Why do we have to go on a vacation together? I'd rather be alone," Hisoka said. "Hi-so-ka! We have to!! We're friends," Tsuzuki said with a big smile placed on his face.
"Actually I wanted to save money," Tatsumi chirped in nonchalantly. They all sweat dropped, but went back to thinking about what they should do. "I got it!" Watari shouted with much eagerness.
In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old or hit the road 'round here
So I drive, watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us
"I Love this song!" Watari said to them all. In the end, it was decided that they would go on a road trip, not really aiming for a place. "Hey, hey, I finally found my way," he sang along with the song.
Hey, hey, I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway
Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go
Out on this open road
It's independence day on this lost highway
"So, what's your favorite song, Tatsumi?" Watari asked, his full attention focused on the man. "Hm, I'm not sure I have one," he answered, making Watari pout. However, before he could say anything Tsuzuki interrupted from the backseat of the car. "Guys, I'm hungry!" he said.
"Why am I not surprised? Kurosaki, did you pack the snacks?" Tatsumi asked, his eyes looking up at the mirror. "Yeah, but he ate most of them already," the young one answered from the left side of the backseat.
"Honestly, Tsuzuki… Well, can you hang on? We'll pass a gas station soon enough," Tatsumi assured the hungry man. "Come on, Tatsumi! You have to have a favorite song!" Watari insisted, making the brunet roll his eyes playfully. "The one playing now," he answered the curious and bothersome scientist.
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Care about me?
I don't think so.
Six foot tall
Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here? I don't think so.
"Why?" all three of the passengers asked. "It has the word 'Shoot', why else?" he answered seriously. All three went bug-eyed. "It's called a joke. No, I like it because… Well, wouldn't you do the same if someone stole the person you loved the most?" His eyes seemed to trail away from the road and unto the person he desired the most. It was oblivious to the other two, but Hisoka noticed it.
Hours of driving led the to a small motel. It was rundown and probably unsafe to be in, but it was cheap. "Do we have to? Can I sleep in the car?" Tsuzuki asked.
"Can I shoot myself?" Hisoka asked, dreading the possibility of sleeping inside the motel.
"I wish I had an invention for something like this," Watari muttered.
"Just deal with it. Would I put your lives in danger for the sake of money?"
"Um…" All three wanted to say yes, but Tatsumi's glare was far more powerful. "Um, we're going to share rooms?" Hisoka asked, breaking the silence. Tatsumi nodded. "You and Watari, Tsuzuki and I, got it?" he asked.
"Why the sudden pairings?" Watari asked, slightly annoyed that he didn't get stuck with Tatsumi. The brunet shrugged, but then changed his decision. "Fine, Hisoka and I will share a room. And that leaves you with Tsuzuki, Watari. Happy?" And with that, Tatsumi went in and got their accommodations ready.
"He's such an ass," Watari hissed, voicing the others' opinion as well.
TBC…?
A/N: Well, next chapter is suppose to be their first night in the motel followed by their next adventure while on the road! Hm, if anyone even reads it and likes it… We will see. I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading!
