Note from Shu-chan: I have a new Gravitation CD. Actually one soundtrack
and a vocal collection ^.^ :::does little dance::: This should happen
pretty fast now! I can't think of anything but Gravitation when I listen to
it. Its even hard to work on my manga while listening to it and its even
harder to listen to another CD knowing I have a Gravitation CD!!! Prozzak
is feeling very unloved right now......well enough of my babble! You came
here to read about Ryu and Tats not my issues!!! Sorry this one is kinda
short, but you know me! I like to end with a little cliff-hanger. ^.^

They were all sprawled on the grass staring up at the clouds rolling slowly across the sky. They did this alot it seemed. Just the four of them. The scary looking black haired girl in spikes and buckles. The proper looking boy with glasses and a funny hat. The white haired boy with obvious attitude. The dark haired boy with the big eyes.
Atsuko was humming, her feet drumming the beat of the song they all knew. San, who had only joined the "group" 6 months ago, had his eyes closed but his fingers moved in the memorized movements over the keyboard in his mind. Roh was probably asleep, but even so his fingers twitched as if playing his guitar even in his sleep. Ryuichi sang the words in his head but hummed along with Atsuko.
"When we get famous...." Atsuko said suddenly and the three boys jumped and moved to look at her from at least the corner of their eyes. Ryuichi noted that Roh didn't look as if he'd just been woken up. "When we get famous....I'm gonna buy a house. One where I can have a dog."
Ryuichi laughed, Roh snorted, and San just smiled, but he offered his dream next. He sure had opened up alot since they'd first declared him part of the band after hearing him play piano in the music room after school. "When we get famous I'm going to buy a car."
"You need a liscence to drive it, idiot." Roh muttered.
Atsuko reached over her head to cuff Roh in the face. "And what about you, jackass?"
"A house. Huge. With a lot of rooms I'll probably never use." Roh didn't have a lot right now. He lived in an apartment he was borrowing from an uncle until he got enough money to really get his own place. Roh never had anything. "And I want to go to America."
"America?" Ryuichi shifted to look at Roh. "Why America?"
"Why not? I just want to go there and find a street called Broadway so I can sing there and tell everyone I sang on Broadway."
"Who's an idiot?" Atsuko snorted rolling her eyes.
"I think its cute," San offered.
"You would." Roh sat up and ran a hand back through his platnium blonde hair. It was getting so long, Ryuichi noted smiling.
"What about you, Ichi-ittchi?" Atsuko rolled onto her stomach and smiled at him.
Ryuichi looked back up at the clouds and clapped his hands together. "I don't care. I just want to sing forever. As long as I'm singing I'm happy."
Roh looked over at Ryuichi with no emotion in his expression. Ryuichi smiled at him as his mind accussed him of lying to his friends.
I want to do whatever Roh does.

"Ryuichi?"
Ryuichi opened his eyes and blinked confussed. He had been asleep and dreaming....but he couldn't remember what about.
"Ryuichi, what are you doing?" Tatsuha looked worried. "Are you ok?"
Ryuichi nodded and pulled himself up to sitting on the couch. "Did you get the coffee maker?" Ryuichi smiled up at his young lover happily.
Tatsuha just stared blankly at him. "Coffee....maker.....oh shit!!" Tatsuha threw his hands in the air. "That chick distracted me and I totally forgot it!!"
Ryuichi tilted his head to the side curiously. "Chick?"
"Yeah. What's Ichi-ittchi?"
Ryuichi's face went white. Something about that scared him. "Wha-what?"
"That chick I was talking about. She gave me this letter-" Tatsuha held it out and Ryuichi snatched it from him before he could say anything else.
The handwriting was even familiar.
Ryuichi starred at it. What was it about this letter that scared him so much?
Ryuichi carefully opened the envelope as if it would bite him.
Ryuichi, Been awhile, huh? Well, can you blame us? You just disapeared! But thats ok, now I know why and I forgive you. But look at you! You have a huge house and you've been to America! Did you sing on Broadway? I'm not doing anything quite so interesting. I gave up the band scene for awhile, but now I'm playing in this club band. Its fun. Not quite the same though. Did you hear about San? He never ceases to be amazing! How's Kumagurou? I saw you still have him. I can't believe you take him on tour! Well.....I guess I can really. We've all changed so much. I really want to see you guys. All of you. Just look up the Pandora's Club and ask for me. I'm always there. Hope to see you. Forever and Always, Atsuko
"Who's Atsuko?" Tatsuha asked reading over Ryuichi's shoulder.
"I....I don't know. I don't know who San is either....and how does she know about Kumagurou?"
Tatsuha was very worried now. "You ok, Ryu-chan?"
Ryuichi nodded. "I don't know her, but she knows me. Do you think I should go see her, Tatsuha?"
"Maybe we should talk to Tohma...."
************************************
"You don't know who she is?" Tohma looked up from the letter worry showing in his face.
Ryuichi shook his head. "I might have known her before...." He hugged Kumagurou closer and sulked. "But I don't remember before...."
"Well. She knows Kumagurou. Where did you get him from?" Tatsuha looked over at Ryuichi from his place on one of the couchs in Tohma's office.
Ryuichi held up Kumagurou and blinked at the stuffed rabbit's empty stare. "I don't know," Ryuichi admitted feeling the heat rise in his cheeks. "I've had him as long as I can remember...."
Tohma and Tatsuha exchanged looks and Tohma stood up. "Will you excuse us a moment, Ryuichi? I want to talk to Tatsuha ok?"
Ryuichi nodded straining his memory for anything about where Kumagurou came from. It wasn't until after the door closed behind Tohma and Tatsuha that Ryuichi began to feel sick.
Everything was spinning and then it just went black.
