The show ended and even though the crowd shouted for an encore, none of the band members appeared again on the stage, it was quite an odd site. Although this happened, the audience didn't scream or shout any words of dissatisfaction, but instead left silently, as if expecting this to happen, treated it as a normal routine.

Tai lifted one of his eye brows when he saw this and shrugged, then followed the crowd to the exit, but with a sudden feel of need, he turned towards the direction where the washrooms were instead.

The hallway leading there was unusually quiet, but before he could push open the door, something knocked him out from behind.

------

A long while later, Tai started to regain his consciousness and opened his heavy eyes, but only to be blinded by strong, white light. He lifted his right hand and tried to block out the light and give himself a few moments to adapt to this new surrounding.

It took him a few moments to notice that he was knocked out by a hard object on the back of his head and with dull reflexes, he immediately stood up, only to realize that his left leg was numb and fell backwards onto a cupboard, knocking his swollen wound again.

"Owwwww!" Tai shouted, instinctively covering the worsening wound on the back of his head with his right hand. He quickly brought his hand back in front of him to see whether any blood had stained his hand and after a few seconds of thorough checking, Tai concluded that nothing seemed to have wiped off onto his hand and his head was still in good shape so he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"You know, by judging you from the stage, I thought you would be a person that has quick reflexes and agility, but it seems that I've guessed wrong." A sweet voice said, with the owner of the voice showing amusement in his voice and eyes. "And I think it'll be best for you to sit on a chair instead of half lying on the floor." His eyes glimmered while motioned him to sit on the chair that was next to him.

Tai, however, was just too busying slapping his leg back to consciousness that he almost didn't noticed that there was even a person sitting in front of him. It even took a few seconds for him to digest the thought that he wasn't the only one in the room. He quickly lifted his head, meeting a pair of captivating blue eyes.

".Uhh. aren't you the person that was singing on stage?" Tai asked, although he obviously knew the answer.

The singer rested his head on his propped up hand, clearly interested with how this conversation was going. "What if I said no?"

"Well you'll be lying then." Tai answered.

"Then why did you ask the question in the first place?" He replied, noting how straight forward this guy could be.

Then a while of silence enveloped them, it was then that Tai had really regained back his consciousness. "Holy shit, you asshole! Why did you knock me out for? I didn't even do anything! What the hell's wrong with you?!" He shouted, with his finger pointing at Yamato accusingly.

"Oh, you've finally noticed." Yamato smiled wickedly, enjoying every moment of this.

"Well of course! Look what you did to my head!!" He shouted again.

"Oh fine I'm sorry then. Maybe I shouldn't have asked Kaine to hit you that hard." He just plainly stated.

"You actually ASKED SOMEONE TO BUST ME IN THE HEAD?" Tai yelled, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He took in a deep breathe and tried to calm down a bit. "Okay, okay, that's not important now, I just want you to tell me why did you do that and what do you want from me?"

"Well, I don't really know actually," Yamato paused, trying to remember the main reason that motivated him to do such a thing. "Umm. I think it's mostly because of your hair," He pointed his finger towards Tai's unruly and massive hair. "Since I've never seen a person with that kind of hair color.Is that your natural hair color?"

He blinked a few times then said, ". Yah. So you're done with having a good look at my hair right? Cause." Tai's sentence was cut off when the singer's suddenly spoke out.

"You know, your hair color is really special in a way." He brought his fingers to his lips, "A dark red color with a brownish tinge. just like the color of old blood." (Note: I don't this is Tai's real hair color, but I think it goes along with the story and might link with some content of the story later on).

The last few words seemed to have struck a chord within Taichi's system, which had caused him to turn from a kind of easy going person (Note: this is Tai's mask by the way) to a cold and bitter young man.

"Who do you think you are? Hugh? Being a star doesn't mean you can just do anything you are?" Tai hissed out, his sudden change of expression even startled Yamato a bit. "You know what I think you are?" He pointed accusing at him. "You are just one of those rock stars who just sell their bodies to producers and to heads of record companies so that you can be famous and have other people to bend on their knees to worship you."

Tai stood up, brushing off imaginary dust off his pants and walked towards the door, but then he paused when he was about to turn the knob, he added, "You are just another worthless prostitute, am I right?"

As the door closed, Tai could see Yamato's body still frozen from shock, caused by the cold words that spilt from his mouth, and it was also at that moment that Tai got a glimpse of the color Yamato's eyes changed into, it turned storm blue.
