"Let's get this show on the road!" Nuriko crowed as Keisuke pulled the bus out of the designated meeting place for the Suzaku seishi. Watase-sama had given them a week-long break from recording for a trip to a hot springs resort, and gods bless it they were going to enjoy it, even IF they were stuck with the Seiryuu seishi. It didn't take long for things to get slightly monotonous.

"Are we there yet?" Tasuki groaned, lying down in his seat, feet propped against the window.

"We're not even out of the parking lot yet no da!" Chichiri reprimanded. That was the third time he'd asked. Everyone had the feeling he was doing that on purpose.

"Keisuke-san, I don't feel good!" Chiriko pouted from his seat in the back.

"HEY! Karaoke machine!" Nuriko jumped for the machine in the back of the bus near Chiriko. Panic time.

"NOOO!!!"

"Hey, I sing good!" Nuriko grouched.

"Why don't we turn on the radio…." Keisuke's voice piped up from the front.

"Good idea!" Hotohori and Mitsukake agreed. Keisuke sighed in relief and reached for the volume control.

"That was Pride of Ice, a song by the lovely artist known as Kaen. And now, we have a new hit song from the most popular singer on 004.2 KUTOU, the man who calls himself "Blue Damnation."

"Da??" Chichiri blinked. Reality sunk in as the first few notes echoed. "KEISUKE! TURN IT OFF!! NOW!!!" he shrieked.

"Why? This song kicks!" Keisuke grinned and turned it up. No one could tell he had his own pair of headphones on and was humming to Nocturne.

(Let me be your bad guy)

The screams were already heard by the Seiryuu seishi five miles away, where Nakago was karaokeing to that very song.

Would you scream if I asked you to scream

"He'd ask?!" Tamahome shrieked.
Would you run and never look back

"We already do…" Mitsukake replied to this line.

Would you die if I killed you

"Probably not…" Hotohori rolled his royal eyes.


Would you give me your soul tonight
Would you tremble if I charged my ki blast

"He sure wrote this from experience…" Nuriko grumbled.

Would you faint oh please tell me this

"No, we'd throw a fuckin sword at him!" Tasuki yelled.


Now would you die by the one you hate
Run from me and hide tonight

I can be your bad guy baby
I can give you lots of pain
I will attack you forever
I will take your life away

Would you swear if you saw me comin

"We fucking swear when we hear him singing!"

"You always swear anyways no da…"

"What's yer fuckin point?" Tasuki glared as the monk slid comfortably down in his seat with his earmuffs, grinning as his barrier kept all his fellow seishi away from him and his protection.
Would you scream would you run and hide
You will taste my whip. Shall I steal your mind?

You need some Kodoku tonight

"I'll kill that bastard as soon as we get to the Hot Springs!!" Tamahome bellowed.

"Chichiri or Nakago?" Nuriko replied, looking back from pounding Chichiri's barrier.

"Maybe both…"

I can be your bad guy baby
I can give you lots of pain
I will attack you forever

I will take your life away

Ohhh I just wanna kill you,
I just wanna kill you, oh yeah
You will taste my whip. Shall I steal your mind?
I'll destroy you here tonight

"He's killing our ears!" Chiriko cried.

"Hana no saku sekai ini Inochi miru you ni! Tori ga tobu shunkan jiyuu wo kanjiru!" Chichiri sang to himself behind his earmuffs, adding more torture to those who still heard Nakago's song.


I can be your bad guy baby
I can give you lots of pain
Oh yeah
I will attack you forever
I will take your life away

I can be your bad guy
I can give you lots of pain
And I will attack you forever
I will take your life away
I will take your life away
I can be your bad guy

"CHICHIRI YOU AND NAKAGO ARE DEAD!!" Tamahome shrieked. But thins were to only get worse. Hotohori plunged his sword into the radio the moment AFTER the song ended and Nuriko made a mad dash for the Karaoke machine. And thus the bus trip to the hot springs was begun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TA still owns nothing of this =( No Chichiri or Nuriko for me. Or no song.
