((((((((((((((((((((((It was a hot day so far in the whole week. People's windows were open and electric fans blowing at the highest level. A couple of faint breezes blew though the windows in the room making the curtains fly up in the air. Before falling back in place where they once hung, inside an apartment laid a young man, on his stomach with his right arm dangling from the bed, sleeping. Not noticing that he was supposed to be up by now.
He was a skinny, red-haired young man with hair that came to his shoulders and sleepy hazel that were hidden underneath a pale hand. On the young man's fingers was a blue ring that had a silver fox in the center of it. He wore a red tank top that was very baggy and showed his flat stomach and boxers with smiley faces of the color blue.
Kumo Senkai yawned tiredly as he rubbed his sleepy eyes, just waking up from a great dream. He had dreamed that he was eating a huge bowl of ice cream with fudge, strawberries and sparkles on top of it. Kumo couldn't help but drool at the thought of the very yummy and very lovely, sweet tasting. Okay you get the point. Ice cream. Unfortunately for him, he was going to be late for school, again.
"KUMO!! You better get up right now, Mister, you're late for school!" A shout came from behind his bedroom door. Kumo yelled out in surprise and quickly pulled his clothes from his messy dresser and took a quick shower well brushing his teeth at the same time. " KUMO, ARE YOU UP?!!!"
"YES!" Kumo shouted putting on his school uniform, which was a white button down shirt, navy blue shorts that were slightly tight on him and silver sunglasses that he always worn on his head. He opened his door and ran into the kitchen putting on his navy blue tie around his neck almost choking himself when he tripped in his suitcase. "I'm going to be in so much trouble!"
"O-Ohayou, Kumo!" A little boy with dark red hair and dark blue eyes chirped eating his morning cereal. Kumo smiled at his little brother, warmly knowing that he was still having a little trouble speaking Japanese and stuffing a muffin in his mouth and waved goodbye not wanting to disgust his brother when he opened his mouth. "Bye!"
The words 'I'm late' was heard through the hallway as the red-haired young man ran out of the building in a very fast speed almost knocking people out of his way or causing the papers on the wall fly off landing on the floor. Kumo ran to the streetlight only to have the light go green. He jogged in place chanting 'I'm late' gaining strange looks from the people around him. Although he paid no mind to them because the only thing he could think about was that he was going to get the yelling of his life when he got into the classroom.
Not paying attention to his surrounds, he ran into something or someone. Two identical black brief cases slid on to the ground. Kumo grabbed the brief case on his left and the stranger had taken the one on the right. He apologized with a blush not even looking at the stranger, but took off running again with the black brief case in his right hand.
Kumo stood silently outside the classroom with two heavy buckets filled with water. A cute pout formed on his face making anyone walk look in wonder at his cute look on his face. Everyone that is except Akira-sensei, who had it in for Kumo ever since he came to Tokyo. Akira always called on Kumo when he know that the redhead didn't know the answers and gave Kumo detentions for looking at him funny in the class.
"Stupid Sensei, I hate him." Kumo muttered holding on to the heavy buckets tightly trying not to spill the water knowing that if he did Akira would be on his back for sure. "Stupid."
"Who ya talking to Kumo?" A another young man with dark brown hair that came to his chin and blue eyes that were the color of the sky asked, also holding a bucket filled with water, but not having a hard time holding the bucket like Kumo.
"No one." Kumo replied with a blush of embarrassment on his pale cheeks. He stared ahead and waited for the bell to ring before he put the heavy bucket down and quickly took his brief case avoiding the smirking teacher's eyes. If he had looked in the teachers, he probably would have shuddered with fear, if he saw the hated gleam in Akira's eyes.
Kumo sighed, a breath of relief as he leaned against the closed door. He was glad that he had gotten out of the class without his pride hurt again. Usually Akira would taunt him mercilessly about holding the buckets or how stupid he was, though Akira only did this when they were alone. Sensei knew better than to talk down to Kumo when other students were around. That was why Kumo always was around friends instead of being alone.
The red-haired young man was about to open his brief case to see if any of his homework was missing. Akira-Sensei sometimes took his homework getting him in trouble in his other classes. He opened the brief case only to shut it when he heard someone call his name.
"Hey, Kumo!"
Kumo looked up to see the young man from earlier, who was also holding two buckets in his hands. He smiled warmly before putting down his brief case and hugged the older young man well aware of the blush that appeared on the blue-eyed man. He smartly ignored it not wanting to embarrass his best friend "Good morning, Kouya-Kun"
"Morning, Kumo" Kouya replied smiling still blushing after the friendly hug before looking at Kumo with concern "Are you okay? I heard about you being late to class and Akira-Sensei yelling at you."
Now it was Kumo's turn to blush.
"Err....yeah I'm okay, Akira-Sensei went easy on me today. I wonder… " Kumo replied and then frowned up at Kouya. "Anyway, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at lunch?"
"Yeah, but it wouldn't be the same eating without you nagging me." Kouya teased with a smirk and walked way laughing as Kumo's face turned red.
"Kouya-Kun! I don't nag! Really I don't!" The redhead American whined, grabbing his black brief case chasing after the Japanese young man, who was still laughing.
"What are you looking at Kumo?" A young man with dark brown hair that came to his ears and dark brown eyes asked looking at the papers in Kumo's hand.
"I-I don't know, Kuraku. I swore this was my brief case when I was running to school, but it isn't." Kumo said honestly looking at the business papers in the black brief case with confusion. Kuraku took one of the papers out of the redhead's hands and looked at the paper with wide eyes after carefully reading the letter. On the top of the white paper has said:
Seguchi Tohma
"K-Kumo, do you know whose briefs case you have?!" Kuraku asked looking at the American with wide brown eyes. Seeing Kumo shake his head, his eyes widened more almost looking like it was going to pop out of his head." Seguchi Tohma."
"Who?"
"Seguchi Tohma"
"Who is that?"
Everyone that was sitting with Kumo looked at him with disbelief. How could he not know the famous keyboardist?! Anyone who is anyone would know who Seguchi Tohma was.
"You don't know who Seguchi-sama is? Man, where have you were living?!" Kouya demanded still looking at his best friend with disbelief. Seeing Kumo shake his head again, he explained whom Seguchi Tohma to the American, "Seguchi-sama is the president of NG Productions, a huge company that supports several J-pop/rock bands such as ASK and Bad Luck and the keyboardist from Nittle Grasper."
