Chapter three: The Concert

It was the night before the concert. After much thought Yuki decided to go to the concert, just to check what it was like. Though he wasn't much for being in large crowds, especially since there will be people there bound to recognize him. He chose a simple black outfit with a black jacket for tomorrow and set it aside, along with the ticket in the pocket of the pants so he doesn't lose it. He went into his study to start the novel that he thought of the previous night during his walk. A few chapters later he got up and made a cup of coffee. When he was heading back to his study there was a knock on his door. Sighing, he turned around and walked to it. He opened the door and found Tohma standing there…again. "You know I think you are breaking a personal record for visits Tohma." Yuki said walking away from him.

"You know it could be worse?" Tohma said walking in shutting the door behind him.

"How?" Yuki asked sitting on the couch.

"I could be stalking you." Yuki looked up at him as Tohma stepped closer.

'Sometimes I think you are,' sighing he took a sip of his coffee. Tohma sat at the other end and grinned at him. 'He's up to something again.' Yuki took another sip of his coffee and placed the cup onto the coffee table. "What is it you want Tohma?" Tohma reached into his coat's pocket, pulling something out, then handed it to Yuki. Yuki looked at it and discovered that it was a backstage pass for the Bad Luck concert. 'Yep, he is definitely up to something.'

"I thought you might want that."Tohma said leaning back.

"Why would I want it?" Yuki asked putting the pass onto the coffee table.

"To talk to Shuichi after the concert, after all I think that everyone wants to meet you, especially since Shuichi is interested in you." Tohma explained.

"Is that all you need?" Yuki asked getting impatient with the fact that Tohma won't leave him alone and the fact that with him here he can't work on his novel. Tohma nodded and Yuki stood up. "So you can leave now." he said walking back towards his study. He heard Tohma stood up and walk to the door.

"I'll see you later then,' he heard him say and the door shut.

"Finally." He said and went back into his study, but went back into the living room as soon as he realized he forgot his cup of coffee.

He went to bed a few minutes before dawn. He made sure that his door was locked; all the curtains were closed and went into his room. He shut the curtain of the window and collapsed onto his bed. He set his alarm clock and quickly drifted off to sleep.

'Damn alarm clock,' was Yuki's first thought as he slowly opened his eyes. The alarm clock was too loud for his liking. He shut the alarm off and sat up on the edge of the bed. The clock read 8:30, which meant that he had an hour and a half to get ready. He stood up and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Forty minutes later he walked out with the black outfit he chose yesterday on and a towel on his head. As he dried his hair he looked at the clock, which now says 9:10. When his hair was dry he grabbed his pack of cigarettes and his keys and before he put them in his pocket made sure that the ticket was still there. When he was sure that it was, he put the other items in his pocket and walked into the living room. He walked over to the coffee table and picked up the backstage pass and his cell phone. He checked the power of his cell and put them both into his other pocket. He walked out of his apartment, locking the door behind him. He decided to drive to the concert instead if walk and unlock his Mercedes. He started it up and left the parking lot.

When he arrived he didn't know rather or not to be surprised by all the people that was there waiting to get in. He looked for a parking spot and locking up his Mercedes, went to the back door. He was greeted by the guard and when he showed him the pass, let him in. "Ah there you are Yuki." Came a voice that Yuki can say burns into your skull. He turned and was face to face with Tohma. "I'm glad that you came."

"I had nothing else to do." Yuki said in his defense. Tohma smiled.

"Of course, the concert is going to start soon let's go to the front." Yuki followed Tohma to the stage and went into the crowd.

"Let's go to the back. I hate crowded places." Yuki took the lead and went to the back, unnoticed by the other people waiting for the concert to start. He stopped and leaned against the wall. Tohma stopped and stood next to him. A few minutes later the crowd cheered as the music started and Bad Luck walked onto the stage.

"Hello everyone," Shuichi said. "Are you ready to listen to some music?" The crowd cheered again and Shuichi began.

Without noticing a thing, we casually bumped into one another;
drawing closer to gentleness with each other, the hide-and-seek goes on--
that's right,

No, wanna sell your soul With a tasteful touch of yellow
No, forget smile again I just want to keep on dancing forever

As we walk across today, will my voice, entrusted to the western wind,
reach as far as the tomorrow that we'll run through?
That's right--

"It's a new song." Yuki heard Tohma say. Yuki was looking at Shuichi and saw that he loved to sing. The look of happiness on his face brightened the room up and Yuki can see that it wasn't only his voice that draws his fans to him.

No, wanna sell your soul In this world of fairy-tales,
No, forget smile again I just want to keep sleeping forever.

Hey, chasing after it – chasing after it – that pale wind…
Hey, I'm falling in passion, I'm falling in love, and I want to spread my wings

Hey, taking both the good things and the bad things, and adding everything together
and dividing by two, and getting along great – I want to spen my life that way.

Yuki and Shuichi finally made eye contact. Seeing Yuki, Shuichi smiled. His voice grew louder. Yuki on the hand just did what he was doing a few seconds ago, just watching.

When we splash through a puddle, our hands joined with a "let's go",
the sky with a bit of a rainbow peeking through is a red thread binding us--
that's right,

No, wanna sell your soul Even if we look the other way in the rain,
No, forget smile again We just want to keep laughing.

Hey, chasing after it -- chasing after it -- that pale wind…
Hey, I'm falling in passion, I'm falling in love, and I want to spread my wings

Hey, taking both the good things and the bad things, and adding everything together
and dividing by two, and getting along great -- I want to spend my life that way.

I want to spend my life that way.

The song ended and the fans cheers didn't stop and didn't stop until the concert was over a couple of hours later. When the fans were on their way out Yuki and Tohma made their way back stage. They showed their passes and walked to the dressing room Bad Luck was in. They heard celebrating on the other side when they reached the door. "The concert went successful as always." said one.

"Which means you don't have to jump out a window Mr. Sakano," said someone else. Tohma knocked on the door. There were footsteps and a man in a business suit opened it.

"Ah, Mr. Seguchi." The man look surprised to see him.

"Good evening Sakano." Tohma greeted with his usual grin. Sakano opened the door to let them both in. they walked in and he shut the door behind them. Yuki surveyed the room including Sakano there were three other people in the room. A red haired guy was sitting in a chair messing with his guitar not to far away from him. On the other side of the room was a green haired kid that looked oddly familiar and across from him was Shuichi. The three of them looked at them. "Good work as always." Tohma told them. Everyone nodded their thanks.

"Who is he?" the red haired one asked.

"Oh yeah time for introductions I guess." Tohma started. "Yuki this is Hiroshi." Tohma indicated to the red head.

"Just call me Hiro."

"That is my cousin Suguru." He indicated to the green head.

'Explains why he looked familiar," Yuki thought. Tohma turned to Shuichi.

"And you two already know each other." Shuichi and Yuki nodded.

"Wait this is the person you were talking about Shuichi?" Hiro asked and he nodded again. Hiro turned to Yuki. "I would say that we heard a lot about you, but I don't think Shuichi actually knows you that well."

"We only met twice." Yuki told him. He looked at his watch. It was almost midnight. Yuki turned to Tohma. "I think I should get going." Tohma nodded. Yuki turned the door and was about to go when he heard Shuichi's voice.

"Thanks for coming Yuki." Yuki nodded and left the room. He heard Tohma tell Shuichi about his dislike of crowds, but came anyway. He left the building and head home.
