Yusuke was smiling like
he'd gone insane and he scooped up Touya in a huge hug. "We've
got our first gig!" It had been six months since Hiei had moved
in and started learning to play, and while he took to it easily, he
was not as natural as Touya. It had been found the Kuwabara actually
could play bass guitar quite well, and the four of them became a
band. Since, Touya and Hiei had been the primary
songwriters.
Touya
grinned at Yusuke, hugging back. "We do?
Where?"
Yusuke's
grin grew, if that was possible, "At The Pulse!" Touya
nodded, looking somewhat impressed; The Pulse was a very popular
hangout for the stereotypical 'punk/goth' crowd. It was almost always
packed, so they would probably have a good turnout, even if the
people weren't actually there for them.
"Good.
Question: What are we naming the band?" Yusuke let go and
stepped away, taking a more contemplative pose.
"I've
been thinking about that. Let's go find Kuwabara and Hiei so we can
decide a name." Both were easy to find; Hiei was in his room
sharpening his katana, and Kuwabara was quite predictably at Genkai's
to see Yukina.
"So,
any ideas?" Yusuke asked to the assembled
group.
Kuwabara
grinned, "Three queers and a straight guy!" Touya blushed
and Hiei and Yusuke both buried their fists in Kuwabara's face.
Kuwabara picked himself back off the ground mumbling, "Just a
joke."
Hiei
shrugged, "I don't really care. You three decide." Yusuke
and Kuwabara began debating names, and had been arguing for perhaps
15 minutes when Touya spoke up, "Crystal tears. Because mine
freeze when I cry, and because of Hiei's heritage, his would become
gems, I believe." Hiei scowled at Touya, how the fuck did he
know that?
Yusuke,
Kuwabara, and even Hiei considered a moment, when Yusuke said, "Yes,
that sounds cool. And it kinda describes our music style: sort of
cool and emo-esque. Sort of like that American group Evanescence, but
a little rougher, no synths or keyboards." Kuwabara nodded and
Hiei tilted his head in assent. Yusuke grinned, "Crystal Tears
it is then!" Touya smiled slightly.
