Alright, this is my first Gravi fic, so please be nice...Any flames received will be used to light Yuki's cigarettes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation. No matter how much I wish I did, it will never happen.

Now, on with the story...

Loss-Part I

"Shuichi, you can't leave yet! We sill have three more concerts left." Hiroshi tried to keep his best friend and lead singer from boarding the plane back to Japan.

Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper had been on tour together for the last two months. They had preformed in at least thirty concerts since their arrival in the U.S.

"I'm sorry, Hiro, but Yuki called me and said that I had to come home. He sounded really nervous about something. And you know him. It's impossible for him to feel any real human emotions. It's gotten me really worried."

"But Shindou-san, we can't just cancel the remaining shows." this came from the youngest member of Bad Luck, Suguru.

"Don't worry guys. We have a two day break until our next concert. I'll be back before then."

"And if you're not?" Hiro asked. "Don't worry. I promise I'll be back in time." Shuichi gave them both a quick smile. Then he turned, picked up his bags, and boarded the plane.

Hiro woke up early the next morning. He got up and walked across the large suite that he was supposed to be sharing with Shuichi.

He opened the door to his hotel room and took the newspaper lying on the ground. He closed the door and sat down on one of the king-sized beds.

He opened the paper and flipped through the pages until a headline caught his eye: 'Forty Killed in Plane Crash' Hiro felt his stomach do a somersault.

The guitarist skimmed the article until he found just what he didn't want to see.

'Last night at 10 o'clock p.m., an airplane headed toward Tokyo, Japan tragically crashed. Forty people-including Shuichi Shindou, the lead singer of the band Bad Luck-lost their lives when the engine of the plane malfunctioned.'

Hiro dropped the paper. He didn't need to read any more. He quickly left his room to alert his fellow musicians.


Well, that didn't quite turn out like I had hoped. I wanted it to be longer. But I guess its good enough. I hope you liked it! Part II is in progress right now, so it'll be up soon. Please R&R!
