disclaimer: Crush Gear Turbo doesn't belong to me.

Author's notes: this is a yaoi fic featuring Kuroudo Murame and the gear master so i'll be using the name gear master when I'm referring to him. I know that Kuroudo may be a bit old for Jin but Age doesn't matter ne? Just look at Seishirou and Subaru of Tokyo Babylon. well to those who don't like yaoi please click the back button. I don't know how much older Kuroudo(I don't know Kuroudo and gear master's ages because there's no info about them in the web and it wasn't stated in the anime I think...) is than the gear master but let's just say that Kuroudo is 4 years older than him and Gear Master is already 16 years old in this fic. so all in all I just made up all the characters ages in this. Some characters may be OOC.

pairings: Kuroudo/Jin (main) implied pairings: Takeshi/Harry, Harry/Youya (one-sided), Takeshi/Youya (one-sided), Kouya/Kaoru, Jiro/Lilica

Phase I.2: Preparations

"How is this going to work if we're not there in the concert to spy-- er watch over them? They might kill each other... and we need them both for the tourney...." Kouya shuddered at the thought of the two gear fighters badly bruised and mangled from a fight.

"That won't happen cause we will be there watching over them." Lilica stated.

"How?" Kouya asked.

Lilica held 4 passes in front of Kouya.

"There's your answer." Kaoru said

"How did you get those?" Kouya asked again.

"Hi-mi-tsu." Kaoru giggled.

"So what excuse are we gonna use when they see us there in the concert?" Jiro asked

"We're not getting caught..." Lilica stated.

"so we're gonna use disguises?"

"Yes."

4 hours before the LP concert: 14:30 Location: Narita Airport

"We still have time to go to the Tobita club for a short visit." Harry pointed out.

"Yeah," Takeshi said as he hailed a cab.

"Where to?" the driver asked.

"To the Tobita club."

"ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!!!"

"Oh no!!!!" Kouya shouted.

"Looks like you'll be the one pretending to be their escort to the concert and date ." Kaoru grinned.

"But will they really believe the excuse that they just won a romantic date for two?" Jiro asked.

"of course they will... as soon as they see this."

Lilica pulled out a certificate with a company's name which states that Kyousuke and Kuroudo will be receiving an all-expense paid dinner for two.

"and besides...If they don't cooperate... there will be grave consequences..." Lilica said while clutching Shooting Mirage and Dino Spartan.

"Lilica are you okay?"

"oh... Of course."

"Hello...is anybody here?"

"Yes. Coming." Lilica rushed to the door.

Kouya,Kaoru and Jiro were wondering who was at the door since Lilica really sounded excited to open it.

Lilica entered with two guests in tow.

"Harry?" Kouya stared in disbelief.

"Yo." Harry smiled.

"How rude of me... wait a minute I'll get you some tea." Lilica said rushing to the kitchen.

"So what exactly are you doing here?Aren't you supposed to be on vacation?" Jiro asked.

"We're here to help." Takeshi stated cooly.

"with what?"

"the plan of course."

"I get it!"

The others looked at Kouya and gave questioning glances.

"So you're the one who made the certificate and paid for the expensive dinner."

As proof of what Kouya said the certificate had the signature of Takeshi Manganzi CEO of Manganzi Enterprises.

"of course... the Tobita club couldn't have raised that much funds." Jiro stated.

"Excuse me..." takeshi excused himself. He then dialed a number on his cellphone.

"hello...there aren't any white roses you say? Okay...----okay.... they must be ready at about 9:00. Got it? Good."

"hello-- I just want to confirm the reservation for a Kyousuke Jin and Kuroudo Marume. Yes-- at 9--Give them whatever they want and send your best musicians there. Oh yes-- Charge it to the Manganzi enterprises. Understood. Bye."

"Hello Kisugi--send out the limousine at 4:30. yes at the tobita club.bye"

meanwhile:

"So Kuroudo you're gonna watch the linkin park concert?" a member of the team Griffon asked.

"Of course. How about you."

"Kaichou is taking all of griffon-japan-team to the concert."

"So you're celebrating?"

"yup. thank goodness that bratty instructor left. I don't care if he beacme the south american champion. You were a much better trainer than he was."

"Don't say that." Kuroudo smiled.

"So how's Kyousuke?" the boy grinned.

"er--- What about him?" Kuroudo asked blushing beet red.

"Hey-- I was just asking how he was... I see you still haven't resolved thing between you yet."

Kuroudo sighed.

" I just can't seem to get through him."

"Why? Any problems?"

"My mere presence seems to irritate him and he seems to be infatuated with a particular Ms. Lan Fan."

"Oh the Chinese Gear-Mistress? Man I'm sure Jin's not attracted to her. Maybe he just idolizes her because she's great with gears."

"Actually I once told Jin that Lan was a man to persuade him to stop looking at Lan Fan but he still blushes when LLan is around and he dreamily talks about her face. Turns out Lan was a girl"

"Man... Jin will be heartbroken..."

"Why?" Kuroudo asked.

"You see Lan has a boyfriend and according to sources it's a Gear Master too... She's just using those gear masters to gain information and so once they fall in love with Lan they won't tell their teams Lan's team weaknesses causing the opposing team to lose."

Kuroudo remembered the Battle Royal at the world cup. Jiro and Kouya were in a horrible bind and Jin was hesitating whether to tell Kouya . Lan's weakness. Thank goodness Jin finally decided to do the right thing or it might have cost them the battle.

" Hey. I remember Jin also likes Linkin Park. Is he going?"

"I'm afraid not. I think he doesn't even know that there's even a concert."

"Typical Jin. Well see ya soon."

"bye." Kuroudo waved.

I wish I could tell you... itooshi... but I'm scared to be rejected.
