Chapter I: You Blind Me

The next day, I was looking for something to wear for the concert and was asking Kumagoro for opinions. "I'd stick with this jacket then, na no da!"

I didn't know what the band ASK was like but I was interested in the concert. It intrigued me because of the feeling I have that says I'd have a great time and the concert would change my life. Well, probably that feeling is true.. but we'll just have to see, won't we?

I rushed out of the apartment and hugged Tohma before getting in the car.

On our way to the concert, Tohma suddenly chuckled. K and I looked at him and asked what was up. Tohma just smiled and answered, "Gomen nasai, Ryuichi-san.. you just remind me of a singer of a band who is in love with Yuki Eiri.."

"Yuki Eiri? Wasn't he the scary guy at your wedding Tohma? He scares me.. even now.." I said with a tone of voice of a child who had a traumatic experience.

Tohma chuckled some more. "He just looked at you, Ryuichi-san!"

"Demo! He looked like he was gonna wring my neck!" I replied and Tohma chuckled some more.

The concert was packed with people and I had to avoid eye contact in order not to attract attention.

"Isn't this place too.. public?" K asked Tohma.

"Daijoubu.." Tohma reassured the blonde American.

We were actually in the back part of the theater.. even so.. I could still distinguish who was singing down there.

I was a bit sleepy.. it was well past my bed time after all.. But the boo- ing of the crowd woke me up instantly. I looked at the stage and saw a familiar face down there. I thought, 'It can't be! It's him!'

'I couldn't let this guy get embarrassed! I'll have to help him!' So I stood up and ignored K's call for me.

As I walked towards the stage, I.. I heard my song.. being sung by that pink-haired boy. Maybe some people recognized me since they all went out of the way to give me a path to walk through.

Ima mo todokano hikari no yuku azayaka ni mau omoi o egakou

I climbed up the stage and the singer stared at me with his violet eyes as I began to sing with him.

Michibiku kotoba ga koborete shimawanu you ni utsuru toki o osorenaide..

He satred at me and said, "Sakuma.. Ryuichi?"

I looked at him with serious eyes.. the ones I had when I sang and I suddenly smiled. "Yahoo! Ryu-chan desu!" And suddenly the crowd erupted into cheers. "If it's okay with you.. could you listen to my kouhai's song? He was a bit flustered before and it seems he's okay now.." I looked at him and smiled. "Ne?"

He nodded and the music started playing. I listened to his golden voice as he sang the song: "The Rage Beat". It was a very nice song actually.. and I couldn't hold back the urge to go on and sing with him. So I got near a microphone and stared at him with serious eyes yet again.

Doko ni mo tomaranai mitasanai EMOTION SHIKATO kimete oikose yo furueteru SHAI na sekai no nuke-michi o neratte tadortsuku basho e I WANT NEW WORLD!

I smiled at him as we finished the song. "Hi! You seem to know me already! May know your name, na no da?" I asked him backstage.

"Umm.. ore wa.. Shindo Shuichi.." He answered.

"Well, Shu-chan, arigatou na!" I smiled and continued, "Tanoshi da!"

Back at Tohma's car, K asked me why I was so cheerful. "It was a load of fun. Singing with that guy on stage.. Tanoshi da.." I answered quietly.

I wish I'd be able to see Shuichi again.. I wanna see him smile at me as though he was shining.. shining enough to blind me..
