TS: Thank you LeFox for the great review!! -^_^- Lemons, lemons, lemons. I really want to write one.....Next chapter perhaps?? And to Cia Kirjava: Er, what do you mean the formatting is messed up? Who cares. If that was a flame, then thank you. If that was just a statement then thank you, if that was nothing at all then thank you. -^.~-

Kuja: o.O That's a bit soon.

TS: I know, but still......

Chapter 2: Jealousy

"MONOIRO!" A shrieking voice called out.

"I'M NOT DEAF, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO YELL." An even louder voice replyed.

"Sorry," A young girl, around the age of 10, walked up to the older man. "but I need to ask you something." Monoiro grinned in her direction.

"That's what I'm here for!" He replyed cheerfully.

"Is Nikki going to be here? Or are you doing a solo?"

"I think Nikki's going to be here, Marcy." Marcy beamed up at Monoiro.

"That's great!" He ruffled her hair playfully, then she skipped off with a happy tune on her lips. Marcy's contagious uplifting attitude reached Monoiro as an even bigger smile reached his face. Even he felt like skipping now. Though, he couldn't help but wonder WHERE Nikki was. He did say he would be here by 9:00, 30 mins before the concert started, and it was 9:09. Where could he possibly be?

(((Elsewhere)))

"Where am I?" He looked around atleast more than 10 times.

"I don't remember this place," A blank look came to his face as he still pondered about where he is located.

"Excuse me," A voice came from behind him. He turned around to face a silver haired man.

"You're blocking me." The man stated. He hadn't realised he was standing in the front door of the pub.

"Oh, sorry." He excused himself, with a stoned, confused look. The silver man arched an eyebrow.

"Lost?" He asked with a hint of sarcasim.

"Yes! Do you know where the concerts at?"

"Huh?" He didn't actually EXPECT the man to be last. He was just being smart, every since he saw that poster, he seemed to be in a slightly more peeved off mood than usual. "Well, I do.."

"Rockin'! Can you take me?" Kuja looked just as confused as he did when he asked him that. He nodded with an unsure expression.

"Thanks. Could you make it fast? I'm kinda late," Kuja's eyes looked from left to right and nodded slowly. Who was this guy? He started walking, and the other man soon followed.

"Oh, forgot. My name is Nikki." Nikki extended a hand.

"Kuja." He stated his name, but did not shake his hand. Nikki shrugged and kept walking. Kuja stared at him from the corner of his eyes, he was quite a number. His hair had black roots, but was died an orangeish-red color. Lipstick and heavy eye shadow graced his face, and made him look just a little bit like woman. But who was he to say that he didn't? All he was wearing was leather, torn up leather. And a strange pink boa he carried around...Weird...

They had come to the info booth, placed in front of the Alexandria castle.

"What may I help you with?" The man behind the ticket booth asked.

"I need to get to the concert, fast. I'm singing with Monoiro." The ticket booth guy(?) jumped back a few inches, startled. Kuja also looked up at Nikki quizzically. That would explain his strange fashion sense.

"You mean, you're Nikki from Termina?" He asked intently, Nikki nodded in responce. His eyes widend and he started stuttering.

"Y-you go forward, a-and get on the boat. The guards will take you to the A-Alexandria castle. They'll tell you where to go from there..." Nikki smiled.

"Rockin'." He said as he started lazily walking to the north. 'Monoiro? The guy on the poster?' Kuja wondered. His eyes narrowed, that name made his blood boil. He turned sharply towards the ticket booth guy.

"I'll have on ticket." That wasn't a statement, that was a demand. The ticket booth guy (a/n: Does anybody know his name?!) blinked then nerviously looked around for a ticket. He was plain afraid.

"H-here.." He carefully handed Kuja the ticket, and Kuja swiped it from him. He started angrily stomping towards the concert.

"W-wait! You forgot to..pay..." Kuja was already out of site.
