Disclaimer: I'm one person not four people so there's no way I can be Clamp. I won't become Clamp throughout the duration of writing this so there's no need to say it again. And guess what? I'm also not Ai Yazawa so I don't own anything related to Nana. Sucks to be me, I don't own anything fun.

My Medicine

Prologue

Kurogane lay sprawled on the bed in the warehouse he and Kayou shared. His lover and band mate moved about the room going through drawers almost as if he were looking for something.

He could tell Kakyou was nervous but Kurogane could think of no reason for him to be. Then he remembered what Fuuma had said when they left a bar after playing a gig. Fuuma had said that he would tell Subaru and Kakyou should tell Kurogane. Though what Kakyou could have to tell him that Fuuma already knew Kurogane had no idea. The two of them didn't keep things from each other.

"What did Fuuma mean earlier about telling me something?" Kurogane asked as he sat up on the bed, swinging his legs over the side.

Kakyou moved away from the drawers and moved to the other side of the bed, seating himself with his back to Kurogane.

"I want to do it in a bigger place," Kakyou announced.

"The bath tub sure is small," Kurogane admitted as he crawled over the bed to Kakyou. He brushed aside the long hair and placed a kiss on Kakyou's neck.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Kakyou said with some exasperation as he turned to face Kurogane. "I want to perform on a bigger stage so I'm leaving. I'm going to Tokyo and I'm going to join Winter Fall."

Kurogane could only sit there as Kakyou placed a kiss on his jaw.

Fai really wanted to go with Ashura to Tokyo but he hadn't done well enough at the community college to make it to university. Even if he couldn't go to university with him and their friends Syaoran and Sakura he still wanted to go to Tokyo with them.

Fai had thought he could still go with them and get a job once he got there. But Ashura had thought it was a bad idea since as he put it 'Fai had little in savings and even less direction in life'.

Ashura had decided the best thing for Fai to do would be to stay at home and work for a year. Then his savings would be bulked up and he might have found his direction by then. He had also insisted that he might end up failing half way through the year since he didn't have the talent of either Syaoran or Sakura so they could end up seeing each other sooner than they might think.

Knowing that he would see Ashura again in a year or maybe less, though Fai doubted that as he had faith in Ashura, was small consolation to Fai as he kissed his boyfriend on the platform.

"A year's not that long," Ashura said as Fai pulled away pouting slightly.

"It is long, it's twelve months when I won't be able to see you," Fai replied.

"I know it's going to be tough but we can do this," Ashura replied as he kissed Fai's forehead.

A whistle blew on the platform.

"Time to go," Ashura said and gave Fai one last kiss.

He boarded the train and took a seat at the window. Fai could only cry as he waved goodbye whilst the train pulled away.

This takes place a year before the main story, just to set the scene of how Kurogane and Fai ended up in their situations.

I'm just going to quickly explain the reasoning behind the names of the two bands. In Nana her band is called Black Stones after the cigarettes Yasu smokes. So Kurogane's band is going to be called Lucky Strike, it's the only brand of cigarette I know you can get in Japan. Blackstone (it's close enough) is the name of a song by Gackt so for the other band I randomly picked Winter Fall, which is an L'Arc-en-Ciel song (couldn't find a Gackt song I liked for a band name).

The title for this is the name of the opening song from the live action Nana film. I was gonna go with Glamorous Sky (the other Black Stones song from the film) but thought this might fit better instead.

I think that's all I need to explain.

I will write the next chapter…but will I really like the next chapter?
