Suicide Ride
Alone doesn't hurt anymore
The pain's too strong to feel it
Alone doesn't work anymore
There's no one left to heal it
If I turn my back on it all
And walk away from this place
Then maybe someone will find
These dried-up tears on my face

The REVOLUTION begins…
"送風!"
"送風!"
"送風!"
"送風!"
The Lights are dimmed and the stage is shaking or maybe it's just me. I can smell the strange mixture of perfume emitting from the crowd just beyond my field of vision and I can almost see their lusty eyes trained right here, right on us on me…it's something that I should get used to something that any performer would want gravitated on them. Mindless hordes of adoring fans attention trained on you giving you a certain amount of power over their fantasies…
"What the hell was I thinking?!?"
But Shin can't or won't answer though I can hear him laughing. Suddenly there is a blinding light a chorus of squealing fans and cheering and I know it's my queue. I step towards the mic, one hand steadily resting on my guitar and I smile Ren's smile.
"私達は送風である!"
And the crowd goes wild.
"So, Takumi, are you going to explain why, at the sight of you my roommate falls into a dead faint on my kitchen floor?" Harry asked, his hand was itching to just perform some sort of movement. Maybe to hit Takumi who was nervously staring at Nana like a ghost straight from his nightmares?
Ginny was no better; she was standing farthest from Nana staring daggers at her long blond hair. It almost looked like she wanted to chop the pieces off. Why was she jealous? Why was she staring at him that way?
"You never told me your roommate was a woman." Ginny asked in a haughty manner.
"Well," Takumi began with a nervous smile on his face. "It seems like you two have a lot to go over-a lot to think about…I'm just be leaving."
"You aren't going anywhere." Harry said neither looking at Ginny nor answering her question. 'How dare she?' He thought as he reached for h is fallen roommate, tucking her easily into his arms. 'She does nothing but sleep with other men and because there is a woman living in my home, that I have no interest in, she's jealous?'
"Uh well I guess I should just explain myself?"
"Yes that would be nice."
Ginny huffed annoyed but didn't try to move of follow them as Harry, followed by Takumi, walked towards Nana's room disappearing behind the door frame. She stood there, her emotions on fire. 'How could he?' She thought to herself before taking he coat and walking out the door.
She would let him explain himself later.
"So she went into hiding?" Harry asked from across Takumi. They were seated in Nana's room where she soundly slept on her futon at the other side of the room. At the low table they sat cross-legged, staring at one another. "All because Ren Honjo died?"
"Well, we thought she was dead." Takumi said as he lit another cigarette. "It was flawless really, jumping into the ocean like that from such a high cliff. It is a wonder how she lived at all though I suspect that Ren's spirit must have kept her alive."
"Right."
"We should call her friends; at least my wife should know that she's alright." Takumi said as he lifted his cell phone and began to dial but Harry hand halted his, enfolding them with hot fingers.
"No…" He shook his head.
"No? But why? Her friends will be happy that she is alive, they need that bit of peace."
Again Harry shook his head, his green eyes blazing brightly.
"She disappeared for a reason, vanished from their lives for a purpose. It would be wrong to betray her wishes." He took the phone from Takumi and placed it onto the table. "Write the numbers of her friends down and leave them to me. I'll give them to her and let her decided on her own. It must be hard to lose the love of your life-though I suppose it isn't as hard as losing your family.
"I love many people precious to me in violent ways and they've left their mark as surely as loosing Ren left her heart broken. You say that they had had a fight before he died and cold not apologize to each other because he'd died. Think about her pain and her suffering if she were to come in contact with anyone or anything that reminds her of him. Let it be her choice to return to that life."
Takumi nodded his dark eyes down cast in thought. What use would there be if Nana returned only to vanish again?
"Sure-though I suggest maybe meeting somewhere different next time. She doesn't like me much."
"Why is that?"
Takumi peered at the sleeping woman and smiled.
"That, I will leave to her to answer."
"So he spirited away your best friend into a live of misery?" Harry asked surprised. Sure Takumi seemed like a jerk but this was just horrible. "What a monster…poor Hachi…"
"You don't know the half of it. But I'm surprised that you haven't asked." Nana said a bit peevishly though with her it was hard to tell. She could be talking about the weather and still sound upset.
"Ask about what?"
"Ren."
He looked down into the murky depths of his coffee cup where the steaming liquid lay. He didn't want to take this route, no he honestly didn't want to know anything he wasn't privy to. Like her past and what she had run from.
After all, Harry had wanted to run away from his life too once upon a time. Sometimes he still did-why else would he become a writer and not publish a single work as Harry Potter but as Cedric Black?
"It's none of my business." He said dismissively, taking a sip of the scolding liquid, a sweet taste filling his mouth that was a little bit unwelcome. "Though I suppose you realize that I already know more then I should, Takumi is such a gossip after all."
Nana snorted crossing her arms across her chest. "Yeah a regular ol' hen."
"I'm serious though, when I told you that I would not pressure you about it. After all there is a reason you're here and not there. If you aren't comfortable about even mentioning it then I will pretend I don't know anything."
"You really value privacy Harry…" She said a bit surprised. Anyone else in his position would have inquired at least a little bit.
"Well I've my own secrets too. I know how it's like to want to runaway and sometimes I wish I still could." And he really did want to. Even writing behind a fabricated name did almost nothing to quench the thirst that he had-wanting to leave and start over fresh and new. He envied her just a little.
She was staring at him with her deep brown eyes almost frozen like some statue. It made him squirm just a little bit. "What?"
"Let's go to Japan."
"Pardon?"
"Look, I don't that asshole doing me any favors an' besides he'll probably slip to Hachi anyway and then she'd just cry. You don't even want to imagine a dog crying-it's aggravating." She stood up smacking a palm against the table loudly making Harry jump.
"Huh?"
"I mean, all the crying is so annoying."
"Um?"
"So we'll get on a plane and head out and leave. I just gotta call my boss and tell him I'll be gone for a while."
"Eh?"
"You should call your editor too; you don't want to get into any trouble."
"Wha?"
"I'll get us the tickets." She said stalking out of the living room to get her phone leaving Harry a confused mess.
It took him a moment to let it all sink in and by that time Nana was already dressed and packed (she packed his things too) and waiting for him with both their passports in hand.
"What just happened?"
Short but that was all I could get up. Part 2 to this will be up in a few days.
No flames...
Oh! And if you're wondering what the top portion that had Japanese was...that will be explained in part 2 where...Nana and Ren reunite.
How? Well you'll just have to wait and find out. Don't worry it'll just be a few days.
BYE! and REVIEW!!
