"You need to keep your arm in the sling for the next few days." The doctor said as Ruki was putting his shoes on. "It still might hurt afterwards, but if it's bad, put your arm back in the sling for a few more days. After your arm is out of it, don't over use your wrist. That will take few months to heal."

The singer shook his head. "Alright. Is that everything?"

"Just about, um, headaches and vomiting will be normal for the next few days. If you have anybody living with you then I could tell them what to look out for."

"No I don't."

"Maybe one of your friends."

"Sure, you can tell them."

The doctor allowed them all to come back in and they waited with smiles on their faces, except Kai that is. Before the red head could ask, the doctor started explaining symptoms that they should look out for.

"It would be wise to have someone help you until your arm is out of the sling." The doctor said.

"I'll do it." Aoi said.

"No, I'll do it." Reita quickly said.

"Don't start!" The doctor ordered. They looked at the ground.

The red head looked around the room and smiled. "Kai, would mind helping me?"

"Yes I would mind." The drummer said harshly. He glared at the singer, something none of them has ever seen. "I'm going to be busy helping Sakai the next few days. I can't."

"O-oh. Alright." Ruki whispered.

"Ru, I said I would." The blonde said.

"Me too." The raven begged.

The singer tried to avoid contact with them and took a deep breath. "Uruha? What about you?"

They all gasped and the honey blonde's jaw dropped. Kai was even surprised.

"You owe me Uruha."

The guitarist swallowed hard and shook his head yes as he looked at the ground.

"Good."

~~At Ruki's~~

Uruha opened the door for the red head and brought his stuff in. They told him to might as well pack up and stay with the red head rather than going back and forth every day. Ruki plopped down on the couch and lit himself a cigarette as Uruha continued standing by the door. He was shifting nervously, avoiding eye contact.

"Come and sit down." Ruki said.

The guitarist looked up at him. "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you being nice to me? You should be yelling and throwing stuff at me."

The red head sighed. "Uruha. It was an accident. I started the pushing, I provoked you. I know you didn't mean for this to happen, but you're still going to pay for messing with everyone's feelings."

The honey blonde shook his head. "What are you going to do?"

Ruki smiled. "It's not what I'm going to do. It's what you're going to do"

"Wh-what's that?"

"You're going to clean my apartment every day. I want it spotless, shining for that matter. You're going to cook for me, bring me my food, wash my clothes, the dishes, dust everything, wash my windows, and drive me wherever I wish."

Uruha swallowed hard.

~~At Reita's~~

The drive to the apartment was in deadly silence. When they walked in, Reita grabbed Kai's arm and squeezed it.

"What the hell was that all about?"

"Ow! You're hurting me!" The drummer whimpered.

"I don't care! Ruki asked you for help and told him no. That 'Sakai' stuff was total bull shit!"

The brunette and yanked his arm away. "Leave me alone."

"No! Do you know how much you probably hurt him?"

"Do you know how much you hurt me?" Kai cried.

The blonde eyes got wide.

"You said you loved me. Then you turn around to be with him. I know you loved him, but don't fuck with my heart!"

"How was I supposed to know that this was going to happen?"

"That shouldn't change anything! You said you loved me." The drummer fell to his and covered his face. "I believed you! I…I…you loved…me!"

Reita felt a pain in his heart. He kneeled beside the brunette, but as soon as the blonde touched him, he pushed the bassist away. Kai jumped to his feet and ran to the bathroom locking the door.

"No!" Reita yelled getting to his feet. He ran to the door and tried to open it, but the other had locked it. "Kai! Open the door!"

"Go away." He shouted, turning the shower on. Steam quickly filled the room as he undressed. Reita started body slamming the door to get it open, but that didn't stop Kai. He stepped into the tub and gasped at the burning sensation, but he stood there letting his body fill with pain.

"Please Kai! Don't fucking hurt yourself!" Reita yelled. He continued ramming the door.

Just as the brunette's body started going numb, the blonde broke through the door. He pulled the curtain open and pulled Kai out of the shower, making them both fall to the floor. The bassist hugged him as the brunette began to cry.

~~At Aoi's~~

The raven walked into his lonely apartment and stood there looking all around. He closed his eyes remembering the movies he and Ruki watched together, the meals they together, and the laughter they shared. He smiled knowing that he had been happy. So many memories in that short amount of time made him feel…content. Then the night of the rape flashed through his eyes and it hurt him. It hurt him more than anything before. He stomped to his room and looked at his bed. He hasn't touched it since that night, nor has he been near it. He took a deep breath, then proceeded to remove the blankets, sheets, and pillows. He dragged them all outside, down to the dumpster and threw them in it. He ran back up to find even the meal Ruki had cooked gone bad on his table. He dumped the dishes into the trash can and scrubbed the table down, before going back to his room. His stomach still felt queasy looking at the bed, and soon that joined the dumpster. He started cleaning up his room, emptying the ashtray, throwing the clothes he wore that day in the trash, and scrubbed the droplet's of blood Ruki left when he ran out. He just wanted to erase that night from history, but he knew he couldn't, so he might as well change so Ruki won't go back to it. Hopefully.

"I'll change." Aoi muttered. "I'll make life for you so much better. I'll treat you the way you should be treated."

~~The next day~~

Kai was first to arrive at the studio, then Uruha was opening the door Ruki, who thanked the honey blonde, then Reita arrived.

"Have you ate?"The blonde asked.

Ruki smiled nervously. He wasn't quite ready to face them yet. "Yes."

"Good. Do you need anything?"

"Um…not really."

"Oh, ok…well, would you like to go out to eat with me tonight?"

"Leave him alone." Kai ordered.

The blonde glared at him, but then saw the sadness in the drummer and he wasn't the only one. Uruha and Ruki both saw it too.

"Hey." Aoi mumbled as he walked in. His eyes were red and bags were forming under them.

"You look tired." Reita said.

"Yep."

"Let's get started." Kai ordered.

They all gulped at the drummers anger.

~~Few hours later~~

They all wanted to pass out. Kai had really pushed them today and didn't give them any breaks.

Aoi stood in front of the singer, who was sitting on the couch. "Ru, would you like to go out to eat with me tonight?"

"Well,"

"Wait, I asked first." Reita said as he walked to them.

Aoi glared at him. "Well, I'm asking now."

Ruki swallowed hard. "Um…give me a minute um… I'll be right back." He slipped past them and ran out the studio. The two men stood in shock.

Ruki ran about half way down the hall before slowing to speedy walk.

"Hey."

The red head turned and saw a familiar looking blonde. "Um…yes?"

"D-do you know where the Alice Nine studio is at?"

"Yeah, I'm going there now. You can follow me if you want."

"Ah, thanks Ruki."

"Um, sure no problem." The singer smiled. 'Where the hell do I know this guy from?'

They walked down another hallway and the red head saw a familiar person leaving the Alice Nine studio.

"Uh, Hiroto!" The blonde yelled, waving his arm. The man ahead turned and smiled as he waved back. "Thanks, I'll see you later."

"Sure." Ruki mumbled as the blonde ran to the brunette and the singer watched as they walked off, hand in hand. "I know him from somewhere…Oh, I'll think about it later!"

He continued to the studio and opened the door to see a shocking scene. Shou was shirtless, sitting on top of Tora, kissing him.

"Um…"

They broke away and looked at the singer, who had turned red. "Sorry!" He slammed the door shut and started back, but he heard a door open behind him.

"Wait Ru!" Shou shouted, slipping his shirt back on. He ran to the shorter singer and smiled. "So what's up?"

~~Back at The Gazette studio~~

Ruki walked back in, following Shou's instructions, made the two men sit at the table and handed them both one die.

"Um…Ru?"

"You two are going to roll the dice at the same time. The one with the highest number takes me out tonight and the second takes me out tomorrow night. There will be no arguing about the winner. If there is then I won't go on the second person's date. Deal?"

"Deal." They both said.

"Now roll."

The held their breathes as the rolled the dice and then one shouted when they came to a stop.

"It's settled. Tonight I go with Reita and tomorrow night I'll go with Aoi."

Aoi looked at the ground with a hurt expression, but he raised up and smiled. "I'll go home then. Have fun."

Ruki wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of what and soon, Aoi was gone.

"Do you want me to take you home so you can get ready?" Uruha asked.

"Yeah. When are you going to pick me up."

Reita smiled. "How about an hour from now?"

"Sounds good."

The blonde watched as Uruha led the other out and then he realized that Kai was gone.

~~At Ruki's place~~

"That looks nice." Uruha said. Ruki was wearing tight fitting black pants, a white tank top and a black jacket.

"I want to look about the same on both dates, so neither feels…I don't know…like I want one more."

The honey blonde shook his head. "He should be here in a few minutes."

Ruki shook his head and quickly made his hair up, then fixed his makeup. "You can go home tonight."

The honey blonde looked at him with wide eyes. "Are you planning on doing something?"

"No, but I have nothing for you to do and I don't know how late we'll be out."

"Ok, I'll see you later then." The honey blonde said then got his shoes on and walked out. When he turned, he saw Reita walking up, dressed up in some nice pants and a black shirt. He walked past him without even looking at him. "Reita."

"Just because Ruki has forgiven doesn't mean I have."

That hurt the guitarist. "I'm sorry." Uruha whimpered and started running away. Reita turned and watched the hurt man run away. He shook his head and knocked on the door. He waited a moment and was about to knock again, but then Ruki opened the door. The blonde felt his face turn red.

"Y-you look amazing."

The red head smiled. "Thank you."

"Shall we go?"

"Yeah."

~~At Aoi's~~

The raven walked into his apartment and sat a bag on the coffee table as he sat on the couch. He pulled a bottle of Jack Daniels out, popped the top off and took a big gulp. He sat there in complete silence taking gulps of the whiskey.

"I wonder if Ruki would be happier with Rei? I mean, I doubt he would rape Ru like I did. He's dedicated when dating someone, he's stronger. I'm nothing." Aoi smiled. "I hope you're happy Ru."

He took a long swing of the bottle and waited for the alcohol to kick in and knock him out.

~~At Reita's~~

Kai sat on the couch looking out the window. He had stayed like that since Reita got home and left.

'Would anybody care if I killed myself?' That question has been running through the drummer's head all day. Then it lead to more questions. 'Would my funeral be empty? Are they really my friends or are they just using me? Did Reita just want a good fuck? Is he really like Miyavi? Is he going to bring Ruki home and rub it in my face?'

The brunette couldn't take it anymore. He gathered his things and quickly left the apartment, not even leaving a note.

He arrived at his old apartment and started up to his room, but when he got there, he saw a familiar face. He shook as he walked closer to his door.

"The hell are you doing here?" The drummer asked.

Miyavi turned and smiled. "I'm sorry, I…I just can't think straight anymore. After that night Reita beat the shit out of me, I…couldn't stop thinking about the horrible things I did to you. I wanted to apologize."

"This is just another one of your tricks to get into my pants."

"No! No it's not I swear. I just want to talk. That's all. I won't do anything and if I do, you can call the cops. Or kick me out. Please, I just want a second chance."

"I've given you plenty of chances, no more." Kai said pushing him away. He unlocked his door and walked in.

"Please! I'm sorry. I changed."

"I doubt it."

"I swear I have." Miyavi got on his hands and knees. "One last chance. I'm begging you. I'll make it right this time. I'll treat you the way you should be treated."

Kai sighed looking at the pathetic man below him. "Get up."

Miyavi looked up at him with watery eyes.

"I'll start some tea." The drummer walked in, leaving the door open so Miyavi could come in.

~~The restaurant~~

Ruki was laughing at the jokes the blonde was making. It had been a fun night for the both of them. They were just talking about random things, Reita was doing all he could to make the singer laugh and Ruki tried to make the other laugh as well. After they were done, they walked quietly to the car, but before the red head could get in, Reita turned him around. He got closer to the singer, making him blush. The bassist lifted Ruki's chin and went down into a kiss. The singer gripped the other's jacket as his tongue slipped in and the kiss deepened. Reita pressed his body against the shorter as he rubbed the red head's cheek. Ruki finally pulled away and realized his eyes were closed. He smiled, looking up at the blonde.

"I had fun."

Reita smiled. "Me too."

"Wo-would you like to come over to my place?"

The blonde blushed and smiled even bigger. "I'd love too."
