Description: In an alternate universe, what if Eiri Yuki never shot Yuki Kitazawa? What if Eiri allowed the rape to occur? Eiri would never have moved back to Japan, never met Shuichi Shindou and never fell in love. What would happen to Shuichi? Would he get a different lover? What if Tohma Seguchi worked out a New York contract and managed to gain Eiri Usegi as a lyric writer? Would the connection still be there?

Tohma Seguchi glanced up from the entertainment magazine he had been skimming. Bad Luck's producer and manager stood before the Presidents desk. Both looked slightly nervous. The concert Bad Luck had had last night had gone better then planned. The lead singer, Shuichi Shindou was bursting with adrenaline and had fulfilled his fans desires to see him as a sex icon. Hiroshi Nakano and Suguru Fugisaki also surpassed expectations. Both commanded the stage as well as Shindou
Poor K and Sakano were beyond confused as to why NG's Shacho wanted to see them as soon as possible. The sight of the entertainment magazine 'Pop Beat' didn't help calm their nerves either.
"I'm glad you could take time out of your busy schedules to see me." Came the Presidents cheerful voice as he closed the magazine. "Bad Luck has gone triple platinum in the last two years since their debut, am I correct?" His flashing green eyes locked onto Sakano.
"Y-yes, Shacho." The producer stammered.
"Hmm…. I've been thinking for a long time K-san, Sakano-san, that Bad Luck would be extremely popular outside of Japan-"
"Sir! Are you saying what I think you are?" K cut in, placing his hands on top of the wooden desk.
"I thought we'd be on the same page K-san," Tohma smiled at the two of them. "With you and Sakano helping Nakano, Fugisaki, and of course Shindou-san, they should have no trouble adjusting to English and New York customs." The President of NG stood up and turned toward the large window, his green eyes on the street below.
"I wish to send them to a NG representative in the States. Specifically Manhattan. I have a successful English writer in contact with them. He'll try and translate Shindou's songs artistically into English." He turned to find K staring at him in disbelief and Sakano a couple seconds from a heart attack.
"I give Bad Luck two weeks to decide. If Shindou wants to bring Anazawa, I give my permission. We'll provide the plane ticket." Seguchi turned his back on the duo once more. Dismissing them.

The band members were taking a greatly deserved and needed break. Hiro was outside smoking and Suguru and Shuichi were enjoying a game of rummy. A young man of about 20 with shoulder-length dyed silver hair watched, teasing either one if they made a stupid move.
"Shuichi! Look now he has rummy!" The young silver haired man said, as Shuichi discarded a 4 without noticing Suguru's collection of them. With a yell of victory Fugisaki set down his last card and crossed his arms over his chest.
"That's five zip, Shu-kun." The boy said, poking the singers arm, who glared at him before leaning over and kissing him quickly. He then started shuffling the deck.
"There. A good luck charm from Rin-kun. I'll win now."
Fugisaki simply rolled his eyes and accepted the cars dealt to him. It was as the two pop stars began their sixth game, Manager and Producer entered the room. Sakano was in a complete daze, while K was smiling from ear to ear.
All three men looked toward them in curiosity as K glided over and patted Fugisaki and Shuichi on the back.
"Congratulations men! Seguchi-san wants to congratulate you on your successful concert. He's quite proud."
A pair of dark green eyes and a pair of violet ones widen, Rin immediately crawls under the table moments before Shuichi began bouncing off the walls.
"Yay! Seguchi-san congratulated us!" Shuichi stopped his insane bouncing to stare off with a starry-eyed expression.
"Oh… almost forgot. You are also going to New York City." K grinned as the singer is to enthralled with his fantasies to realize what his manager said. Fugisaki, Rin and the newly arrived Hiro were dead silent. The guitarist glanced towards their producer who nodded, telling him that the American was speaking the truth. Shuichi had come out of his Tohma induced coma and was being told the news by Rin.
"New York, New York?" Shuichi's violet eyes widened even further then before. This time Shuichi didn't go into a bouncing tangent, but fell heavily into the nearest chair. Hiro and Fugisaki were also extremely quiet. Rin was looking over all four men in confusion. With a frown, the feminine looking man glided toward his lover and knelt in front of him.
"It's the chance of a lifetime Shu-kun. What's wrong? America isn't terrible. I grew up there. So did K… well not all Americans are like him" Rin Anazawa laughed hesitantly as a gun was placed to his head. Manager and 'groupie' teased each other back and forth for five minutes straight before noticing their prized singer had stood and was staring out the nearby window.
The two years as a pop superstar had matured Shuichi in some ways. He didn't cry as easily and was much more serious.
"Shu-kun?" Rin had gotten up and had placed a gentle hand on the slim shoulder.
"Sakano-san, K-san?" Shuichi said quietly.
"Yes Shindou-san?" Sakano answered nervously.
"As long as they don't make us translate our lyrics, and if they do, it has to follow the real deal, I'll do it. I also want Tohma to know I want my muse with me." Shuichi turned slightly and pulled Rin to his body. The slightly shorter male smiled and rested his head on his dear superstars shoulder.
Hiro, who had yet to say a single word threw out a can of soda he had been drinking. "Well, Sakano! Seems we're going to see what kind of place spawns people like K!" The poor producer fainted right then and there.
