Chapter 3: His dirty little secrets
It had been awhile since Ienzo had gotten back. As soon as he got inside, the boy thanked Ansem and rushed upstairs to take a shower & change his clothes. He'd been wearing the same thing for almost 2 days. Yuck! So, anyway, Ienzo ran upstairs soon after they came in they haven't heard from him since. That was 2 hours ago.
"The boy sure likes to take his time, doesn't he?" Ansem said after talking about random things.
"Oh, I know what he's doing. He just doesn't know I know." Cid said with a smirk on his face.
"Oh really?" Ansem asked amused.
"Really. Listen closely."
And there it was. Beautiful singing that was very faint but you could make out the words. They seemed to be telling a story. Listening would put a smile on your face no matter what, it seemed. Here were the words they could make out. At first it was just a guitar but then:
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left you stay right
Between the lines of fear & blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
Things you told him all along
And pray to god he hears you
And pray to god he hears you
Where did I go wrong I lost a friend
Somewhere along the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours & grant him one last choice
Drive until you loses the road
Or break with the ones you followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say it's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
When the music stopped, both of them snapped out of their dazed, hypnotized state. It was just so enchanting; you wished it would go on forever. The silence was unbearable between them. Finally, Cid spoke.
"Every night I hear different song coming from his room. I used to wish he didn't play, but one night he didn't & I couldn't sleep. That music he plays every night tells me he there & I have nothing to worry about. Actually, that and unless I hear a song I can't get to sleep. Every song is like a story, so it's like a little kids listening to a story from his dad. Only the other way around, the kid's telling the story. He just doesn't know I'm listening." Cid said, a smile on his face.
"He plays beautifully." said Ansem. "I think I'll leave now. I might visit Ienzo and you sometime soon, Mr. Highwind. Thank you for the hospitality."
"Thank you for bringing Ienzo home. He's like a son to me."
"Hehehe." Laughed Cid "That Ienzo is a handful, isn't he." It wasn't a question.
In response, Ansem the Wise just smiled and left.

"Hey Aerith." Said Ienzo as he entered her flower shop.
It had flowers upon flowers of different colors, shapes, & sizes all in different vases. Each one had a unique design. One had pink & red tulips on a yellow vase, another had a light blue color with white clouds, and so on. When you first enter the store, a counter about 5 feet long would be on your right. In the very back was a door the led to the back room. It only had boxes.
"Hello Ienzo." Said Aerith. They were good friends & Ienzo often came to visit or help out. Aerith had long brown hair & eyes. She usually wore a pink dress and flip- flops.
"Need any help?" he asked.
"No thank you. Today's pretty slow." Said Aerith sighing.
So, Ienzo just sat on the counter & talked about random things. Mostly how everything was & what they've been up to. Eventually, a man with brown hair & a scar on his face. He wore worrior clothes & had some guns. (A/N This is my AU fic. & I can change things if I want to. Sorry if I mess some stuff up.) He gave a nod to show he acknowledged the other people in the room.
"Hiiiiii Leooooooooon!" they yelled together.
Then Ienzo, Aerith, and Leon talked. Soon after Ienzo left.

It was 10:30. Cid was fast asleep but a certain blue haired 12 year old was wide awake. He was dressed in a black long sleeved shirt which said in white letters Forbidden Music. His jeans were really light blue. He wore white sneakers.
Quietly, he made his way down stairs, out the door, & down the street. As soon as he was around the corner, he looked around & broke into a run. He kept going until he stopped at a large, red- bricked building that was covered in graffiti. You could hear music coming from inside. Swiftly, he made his way around the side of the building, into an ally. When he got to the end he stopped, turned to his right and hit a metal door twice.
A feminine voice met him on the other side. "Who is it?" jugging by the way it sounded, she couldn't of been more than 13.
"It's me." He called back.
The door clicked open to reveal a girl, no older than 12, with long blond hair looking at him. She wore the same shirt he was, in girl clothes mind you, with dark blue- jeans and white shoes. Her eyes were a golden brown, and had ruby red lips with long eyelashes & had an hourglass figure. You would think she was a girly girl. Well, boys, sorry to break this to you but things aren't always as they seem.
"Hello, Larene." Ienzo said, calmly.
"Hey." She said simply.
"Hay is for horses, my good dear." He said, a smirk playing at his lips.
A scowl hit her face. "Just because you're cute doesn't mean I won't kill you, punk."
"Yeah, yeah. I know, I just like to mess with ya."
"Just don't do it again. So, you going to stand there all night or are you going to come in."
"I can't go in if you're in the way…" He trailed off at the end.
"Oh, right." A blush, probably from imbursement, hit he face as she stepped back.
They both walked inside. Apparently, they were in some backstage area from all the techno stuff, sandbags, and music instruments. Behind a drum set was a dirty blond haired boy. He was about 4'9 with sea green eyes and a playful attitude. His hair was messy, in a very, EXTREMLY hot way. Again, he wore the same shirt as every one else with blue jeans & yellow shoes. His skin had a light tan to it. His name was Myde.
Laying on a piano was a pinkish- brown haired boy, who looked a little feminine. It went down to his shoulders. He had dark blue eyes & soft pink lips. I think you already know what shirt he was wearing, with pink shoes and pink pants. It didn't matter that he was a boy, because he looked like a girl anyway. His name was Lumaria.
Playing with a red guitar was a boy with long red hair that went a bit past his shoulders. He wore red shoes & pants. Same shirt. He had forest green eyes and a cocky grin. His name was Lea. (A/N Okay, that wasn't a very long description.)
"Hi." They all choirest.
"Hey guys. We ready to go?" he asked
"Yeah, we're ready. The group out there was screaming for an hour already." Lea said, that cocky smirk on his face.
"Then get your lazy butts out there already." Larene said ushering them all on stage.
Ienzo grabbed his half black half white guitar and headed out with everyone else. When they were out there you couldn't see the crowd. Only a few people in front of you. The group (Ienzo, Lea, Myde, Lumaria. Larene was doing lights.) played amazingly. They did song after song for the boys and girls their age in the crowd. The boys were jealous that the girls were fawning over all the boys in the band.
All the songs were great. They didn't have to discuss a thing, just let the music flow and sing when it was their part. After 2 hours, they had to stop. At the end, Myde came up to the mike & said:
All right everyone. You've been great tonight. Hope to see you at a Forbidden Music concert again real soon. Good night." At the end, he winked a group of girls in the corner who promptly fainted.
They all left after a short conversation in the back room. Once they were outside, they said their good- byes and headed home for some sleep.
Okay, sorry I haven't updated sooner but I wanted to be a lazy bitch today. Oh well. REVIEW!
