This chapter is the longest so far but the next chapter will be longer than this on. Any way don't forget to review me and tell me where i'm screwing up and where I need to fix it. n.n
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It has now been confirmed that the rumors of the singer of Badluck Shuichi Shindou has been kidnapped. It's been reported that no ramsome has been made as of yet. When Shindou-sans family where questioned -" The voice was cut short of its report when Hiro pulled the plug on the tv.
A month has past and still no one could find the pink haired singer, the only evidence that they had of him was a tape sent to the company each week of the torture the pop star is having to go through. Hiro was pissed, which seemed to happen a lot lately. Not only has he been isolated in a remote location away from the outside world, he got stuck with a bastard of a blonde novelist, a gun totting american, a worry worts of a producer, a blonde bastard look a like, a thirty year old toddler and a boyfriend that was now scowling at him for pulling out the tv.
"Hiro stop taking your anger out on the electrical appliances. It's not helping with the current situation." Suguru said, concerned evident in his voice. Hiro ignored his boyfriends rant, walked over to the table situated in the middle of the living room.
Tohma thought that it was best that anyone that had any close connections to Shuichi, was needed to go into hiding. Nobody needed another missing person to add to the list. I mean who would.
The silence was broken as a familular melody made itself noticed. The gun maniac put the small piece of metal to his ear. After about a minute of small whispers into the phone, he turned his face to the on looking crowd.
"Good news everyone." K said with a wide smile plastered on his face. "It seems we have found a lead on Shuichi's dissapearence..." All fell quiet slowly taking in the words. Hiro was the first to speak.
"Where the hell is he!!!"
"Is he within the city." Suguru added.
"Is Shu-chan ok?!" Ryuichi yelled out. Millions of questions where being thrown at the gun lover. Not being able to stand the stampeed of questions any more, decided he needed to bring out his 'babies'. All went silent once again.
"I said we found a lead, which means we a closer to getting Shuichi back... Now I want you all in the car in the next thirty seconds or i'll i'll use you for target prac-" K looked around the room to see everyone was already out the door. He started to whine.
"Aww... I never get to use them anymore." The blonde said as he walked out the door.
"Lets just hope that Tohma found something."
------------------------
It was atleast forty minutes later until the whole gang found themselves back at N.G. in a conference room again with all eyes on Tohma.
"I hope you have all been well." He said with a same smile that never leaves his face.
"Cut to the chase Tohma. What was so important that you had to bring us all out of hiding." Yuki scowled.
"Now, now. Don't be so rash."
"Well what is it." Yuki scowled once more. Tohma sighed, pulling out an small envelope.
"This letter was delivered just this morning. If what it reads is true then I believe we may have something even bigger to handle along with Shindou-sans dissapearence." K snatched the letter off his boss to read the letter, only re-read it once again.
"Tohma... You don't mean to say it's happening again are you?"
"All i'm saying is that it's highly likely that the same person that took him has taken Shindou-san as well."
"Um..." Hiro butted in. "What the heck are you two talking about?" The gun lover laid the note down in front of the others. Ryuichi's eyes widened into the size of saucers.
"You mean it's really happening all over again." He whispered, fear lacing his words.
"It is... We may have to send you back to New York if this continues, you do know that Ryuichi." Tohma let his smile finally fall at this.
"But Tohma. I... I can't go back... especially since Shu-chan is missing. I'm not going and that's final!." The singer said shouting near the end.
"Ryuichi understand that this is just for precautions. If you went missing as well, then how could you possibly help Shindou. What could you possibly do to help in this situation." Ryuichi lowered his head. He knew his friend was right and was just worried for his safety, after what happened last time he knew he had a reason to. But he also didn't want to keep running away especially if it was that bastards fault that his friend was missing. Just like last time.
Things where just getting more and more confusing for the rest of the gang. Yuki finally spoke up.
"What the heck are you guys talking about." He said growling a little. "Tohma what the heck does this have to do with Shuichi missing." Tohma let out another sigh as he picked up the letter.
"Around about four years ago N.G invested in a band called 'Night Walkers'."
"I don't remember that band at all." Hiro said.
"I don't either." Tatsuya and Suguru said together.
"As I was saying... 'Night Walkers' where having trouble creating lyrics for their first album. Nittle Grasper, had just gotten back from a tour across Japan. Every thing was slowly going down hill for them. The lead singer couldn't handle the pressure. It was starting to get to him. The band was slowly losing its footing."
"It would... It would have been better if they did." Ryuichi said trying to hold back the tears that were building in his eyes. "It's all my fault. Be-because of me they were-..." he chocked, as he started to sob. Tastuha pulled his koi to his chest, rocking him back and forth hoping that his pop star would be alright.
Slowly his sobs died down as every one remained silent, waitng for the green haired singer to continue what he started. Soon his sobs died down into sniffles, to face the crowd one again.
"... We just got back from our tour, Tohma was busy planning the next concert with K and Noriko wanted to spend some time alone with her husband. There wsn't really much to do, so I decided i'd go have a look around N.G... Tohma told me that the company recently signed a new band. I was so excited to see that I had new arrivals that I ran all the way down to where they had to practice. Tohma showed me pictures of all the band members, so I knew who I was looking for. But... when I opened the door I came face to face with something I thought was... really sad... He was huddled up in the corner of the room crying to himself and muttering about how much of a failure he was..."
"Dammit... I promised them i'd have the lyrics done by today... The're gonna get mad at me for forgetting again. Oh kami, i'm so stupid." The silver haired singer sobbed, not knowing that some one else was in the room.
"Why are you crying na no da." asked the green haired singer, concern evident in the stangers voice.
Azure eyes met the others deep blue eyes. The silver haired teen faced the wall once again. Ryuichi felt like he was going to cry with him, even though he didn't know why. Ryuichi asked again, this time more firm.
"Why are you crying."
"I-... i'm not cr-crying." The younger teen said rubbing away the tears that threatened to spill once more. Ryuichi grabbed his hand, pulled him into to the booth.
"Can you sing na no da." He said going back into his childish state.
"Yeah, but i'm not... i'm not as good as you Sakuma-san."
"I wouldn't say that. Before you know you might even be better than me and you don't even know it yet. Your just over thinking it. Just relax and let the music come to you. Ok."
The blue eyed boy nodded in response.
"Great, well how about we get started." Ryuichi said, running back outside the room.
"What type of song do you want to do. Nice and slow or really fast."
"Uh-."
"How about a slow one okay." He said fiddling with the dials. "So you can warm up your voice."
"O-okay."
The sound of a guitar filled the room. The blue eyed boy didn't take long to fit into the rhythm of its flow. Nice and slow, but a sad melody played with it. It fitted very well with the mood he was in now. His mouth open, letting his words flow out freely.
You said goodbye
I fell apart
I fell from all we had
To I never knew
I needed you so bad
You need to let things go
I know, you told me so
I've been through hell
To break the spell
Why did I ever let you slip away
Can't stand another day without you
Without the feeling
I once knew
I cry silently
I cry inside of me
I cry hopelessly
Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
I cry
Cause you're not here with me
I cry
Cause I'm lonely as can be
I cry hopelessly
Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
If you could see me now
You would know just how
How hard I try
Not to wonder why
I wish I could believe in something new
Oh please somebody tell me it's not true (oh girl)
I'll never be over you
Why did I ever let you slip away
Can't stand another day without you
Without the feeling
I once knew
I cry silently
I cry inside of me
I cry hopelessly
Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
I cry
Cause you're not here with me
I cry
Cause I'm lonely as can be
I cry hopelessly
Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
If I could have you back tomorrow
If I could lose the pain and sorrow
I would do just anything
To make you see
You still love me
I cry silently
I cry inside of me
I cry hopelessly
Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
I cry
Cause you're not here with me
I cry
Cause I'm lonely as can be
I cry hopelessly
Cause I know I'll never breathe your love again
As soon as the song ended another sound filled the air. Worried the silver haired boy ran out to find a certain famous pop star whailing by the buckets.
"That's so sad." Ryuichi said in between his sobs.
"W-was it really that bad." The boy said horror lining the small boys face. The sobbing pop star glomped the small boy.
"No, no, no, no, no. It was good. No, it was really really reeaally good. Not many people can catch the emotion in that song so fast. Most people can't even grasp it. It won't be that long till you reach my level."
"... You really think so." His mood perking up at the compliment.
"Of course." Ryuichi said stepping back "Ah, now that I think about it I haven't done a duet in a while. Do you wanna sing with me."
"Ah, of course!" He said a smile spreading across his face. "It would be an honor to sing with you Sakuma-san."
"Just call Ryuichi ok."
" Yes Ryuichi-san."
Ryuichi started to pout. "Noooo. It's Ryuichi. Just Ryuichi."
"Ah, yes. Yes of course Ryuichi."
"That's better. Oh, by the way what's your name?" He said, eager to figure out what nickname to give his new friend."
"It's Sanami... Sanami Akito."
