A/N: I don't own anything here.

Chapter 2
The Invitation. To the music shop

As I listened to her outrageous plans, I started to feel pity for my self on what's about to happen.

"Are you insane?"

"Fufufu. The school rules clearly states that students can be excused on Club Activities."

Now, what have I gotten into?

"Hey, Azu-nyan."

"What is it Yui-sempail?"

"Have you been to any concerts?"

"Come to think of it, yes I have."

"Really? How was it?" Yui said as she hugs Azusa.

"Well, there are really lots of people. And, the rhythm guitarist was handsome too," Azusa blushed.

"Woah! What is his name? Was he good?"

"His name is Mike Shinoda. He can play a lot of instruments too. He can also play the keyboard like Mugi-sempai."

"So, he's Japanese then?" Ritsu asked.

"He's half Japanese, Ritsu-sempai." Azusa answered.

"So that explains the family name." What's the name of the band?"

"It's Linkin Park." Azusa replied.

"Is that the band with the really talented and handsome drummer? What's his name? Rod Benton?" Ritsu asked, blushing.

"You mean Rob Bourdon, Ritsu-sempai?" Azusa said.

"Yeah, that's him. I really like his drumming style, it's fast and tasteful at the same time!"
Ritsu's face is now crimson red.

"Can you keep it down, Ritsu? I'm trying to write a song here." Mio retorted.

"Kyon, do you remember those ENOZ gals?" Haruhi asked me.

"Of course I do. The band where you and Yuki were replacements for last year's school festival, right?"

"Look at this." Haruhi gave me a small sheet of glossy paper.

"What's this? 'ENOZ Graduation Concert', huh?"

"Yes, it's an invitation! We're going to perform with them! Fufufu!" as she grabbed me by the with her ogre-like strength.

"Wait! Where are we going?"

"The music store, of course. How do you expect to play without instruments, you idiot!"

The next day, Saturday.

I woke up with the feeling of impending doom looming overhead. My instincts tell me not to go, but knowing Haruhi, it'll be worse if I don't.

So, I took a hot shower, dressed and ate breakfast. Then, my phone rang. It was Haruhi.

"Kyon, meet us in front of Kouyouen Station. Don't be late, over!"

Geez, so early in the morning, and more bad news.

It was already 8:15 in the morning. The meet was supposed to be at 9 am, but, I don't want to be late for once. Let Haruhi pay for the food even once.

And, I went. I rode my bike as fast as my legs are able to.

8:30. I arrived at Kouyouen Station. Parked and locked my bike, then, I went to the usual meeting spot.

What rotten luck. They're already here. Tsuruya-san was with Asahina-san too.

"You're late, maggot!" Haruhi yelled at me like a queen would at a misbehaving servant.

"Yeah, yeah. So, where are we heading next?"

"We're going to the shopping district."

"Hiya Kyon!" Tsuruya-san greeted me. "We're going to the best music store in town, nyoro. The store's owner is my cousin and a good childhood friend of mine. We can definitely buy good stuff for megas cheap!"

"Really, Tsuruya-san?" Haruhi looks like one of those lottery winners.

"Yeah, Haru-nyan! Let's go!"

Later.

"So, this is the place. 10GIA, eh?" I commented.
