Touya
sang his heart out that night, putting all his passion into each and
every word of each and every song, putting all of his emotion into
each plucked note on his guitar. Yusuke had as much fun as he could,
which consequently meant he played the best he could. Hiei put more
expression into his performance than any of them had seen before in
memory. Kuwabara exploded into life, and they found that he possessed
two skills: fighting, and bass guitar!
As
they were packing away their instruments, they all felt elated and
free, as though they'd reached some musical nirvana in the
exhilaration of the music and the pulsing crowd, watching people
moshing and throwing themselves into the moment. And as they were
packing, a man in a black leather jacket, bondage pants, and a Hard
Rock Café t-shirt approached them. His hair was black and
spiked, and he had several sex-bracelets and pyramid stud bracelets
coating his arms. "Hey guys, this is Crystal Tears, right?"
He asked.
Yusuke nodded. "Yeah, you like the show?"
The
man laughed and said, "Yeah, I'd say. Enough that my company
might be willing to hire you on, book you a tour and put out an
album, the whole she- bang."
Yusuke's jaw dropped.
"You're the talent scout? HOLY SHIT! Toy-chan, Kuwabara, Hiei,
get over here! We got business!" Yusuke called out and the three
approached; Touya removing his veil as he came closer, a step behind
the other two. "It's the talent scout I told ya'll about!"
he said and they hastened over, and the man kept grinning at
them.
"My name's Kado. I represent a recording company
called VampFang." The man, Kado, grinned at the stunned
expression on Yusuke and Kuwabara's faces. The other two, however,
didn't seem to recognize his reputed company's name. It didn't matter
though. "Introduce me to the band then?" he asked Yusuke,
who, for once, was at a loss for words.
Instead, Touya stepped
up, "I'm Touya, lead singer and guitarist, that's Hiei,
secondary guitarist, that's Kuwabara, bass guitar, and you have
apparently met Yusuke, our drummer. And I assume you heard the name
of our band is Crystal Tears."
Kado nodded, stretching
out a hand, which Touya confidently took and shook. "Nice to
meet you all," their hands dropped and Kado dug a business card
out of his jacket. "Here you are. Now I can't promise anything,
so what you guys need to do is make a demo tape or arrange a time to
meet with my superiors and prove your stuff. I think you guys have a
good chance of signing on. Best of luck!" Kado turned and walked
away, and Yusuke, finally regaining his senses, snatched the card
from Touya and held it like a gift from god.
"I can't
believe it! We might be joining on with the biggest recording company
in Japan!"
this is made up, I doubt there's a comp.
called VampFang, let alone it being anything big.
