Track 3- Echo Harmony

Streets of Tokyo-

"But Shuichi…You don't have to…"

"Nonsense! I owe you for scaring you like that!"

Sarai sighed. Shuichi had offered to take her and the others to lunch to make up for scaring Sarai. Sarai had a piece of Pocky in her mouth, while Kiyuri and Taiko were walking next to her. Kiyuri was asking every twenty seconds for Shu's autograph, and Taiko had to restrain the hyperactive girl everytime.

"Are we there yet?" she said.

"Almost!" said the pink-haired male with a smile on his face. "Uhhh…there's one thing I have to tell you…I'm kinda meeting someone there…"

"NANI!" said Sarai. "What do you mean someone?"

"My mmm-mmm…"

"Ne?"

"My boyfriend…"

"Ne? I can't hear you…"

"MY BOYFRIEND!"

The three girls jumped back.

"Boyfriend!" they said.

Shuichi nodded.

"And he doesn't know about you three…"

"WHAT!"

They face faulted, and Shuichi sweatdropped.

"Sorry…" he said. "I should have told you…"

Taiko grumbled.

"That's just great…" she said.

Tokyo Café-

The four of them finally arrived at the café.

"Yuuuuuukiiiiiiiiii! I'm heeeeere!"

The three girls sweatdropped.

"Great…" said Taiko. "Now everyone knows he's here…"

A blond man walked up to them, smoking a cigarette.

"Yecch!" said Kiyuri. "I hate smokers…"

Taiko bopped Kiyuri on the head.

"Owee! Why'd you do that Tai-Tai?"

"Because you're being a pest Kiyuri…"

The blond took the cigarette out of his mouth, and blew a puff of smoke.

"YUKI!"

Shuichi glomped the blonde, jumping up and down.

"Yuki Yuki Yuki Yuki Y--!"

The blond placed a hand over his mouth.

"Keep quiet you damn brat!" he said. "I only agreed to this ridiculous thing because I had some time to kill…"

He noticed the three girls.

"Who are you, a couple of fangirls?"

"FANGIRLS!"

Taiko lunged at the author.

"HOW DARE YOU EVEN CALL US THAT!"

Sarai held Taiko back.

"Taiko…please calm down…"

"I'LL SHOW THAT BASTARD! LET GO OF ME AHI—"

Sarai tightened her grip on Taiko, making her cut off her sentence.

"Taiko…this is not the time or the place…we're Shuichi's guests."

Taiko sighed.

"Fine Sarai, you win…"

Sarai let Taiko go, and the disgruntled girl scowled at the blond.

Shuichi smiled nervously.

"Uhhh…I kinda promised these girls lunch Yuki…" he said to the blond.

Yuki rolled his eyes.

"Who are they anyway? A couple of damn kids…"

"Why you—"

Taiko lunged at him again.

"Knock it off Taiko…"

Sarai removed her cap, letting her hair fall down to her shoulders.

"I'm Sarai Mitsumoko, and this is my band. We're your boyfriend's opening act, and he kinda got me upset, so he offered to take us to lunch…even though I protested."

"Hn…" said Yuki. "Whatever…"

He walked towards the table.

" Let's just get this damn lunch over with…" He said.

Shuichi smiled and glomped him happily.

"YAAAAAY! Thank you Yuki!"

"Grrr…let go of me you damn brat!"

The three girls laughed at Shu's affection.

Back at the Studio-

"Na no na no na no da!"

Ryuichi was walking down the hallway, holding Kumagoro is his arms.

"I feel happier than usual Kumagoro! Maybe it's because I made that girl happy na no da!"

He stared at the pink bunny.

"She was very pretty na no da! She even has a pretty name! Not the one she uses, but the other one na no da!"

He smiled again.

"I hope I'll see Ahiru-chan again Kumagoro! Ahiru makes Ryu happy!"

He went to the door and opened it.

"I'm hungry Kumagoro! Let's have ice cream!"

He walked through the door and it slammed behind him.

Back at the Café-

"Yum!"

Kiyuri finished the last bit of food on her plate, smiling happily.

"This was great Shu-Shu! Thanks for inviting us!"

Shuichi laughed at the nickname.

"Shu-Shu?" he said.

"Kiyuri has given you a nickname." said Taiko. "She gives them to anyone she considers a friend… Except Sarai…"

Kiyuri smiled.
" I can't figure out a nickname for Sarai…" she said. "So I call her Sarai-chan!"

Shuichi smiled.

"I like my nickname Kiyuri!" he said, which made Kiyuri beam.

BANG!

A gunshot was heard.

"Damn it!" said Yuki. "Why does he always do that?"

K walked in the café, pistols bared, one in each hand.

"WAAAH!" said Shuichi. "It's K-san! He's found out!"

"Found out about what?" said Yuki.

"Uhhh…I didn't really get permission from K-san to take a lunch break…"

"You damn brat!"

The American walked to the table, where they were seated. He had his gun pointed at Shuichi, who was tearing up in fear.

"Where were you? You said you were going to the bathroom…"

Shuichi clutched Yuki in fear.

"Yukiiii…help me…"

"I'm not getting involved with him brat…"

"But Yukiiiiii…"

"No."

"That does it…"

Sarai stood up and put on her orange cap. She stood in front of K, staring at him.

"Listen you, Shuichi wanted to take us out to lunch because of what happened in the studio. He felt sorry for me because of my little episode I had. He wanted to make it up to me, even though I protested. You have no right to shoot Shuichi just because he wanted to make his opening act comfortable for the performance tonight."

Shuichi gasped.

"She's dead…K's going to kill her!"

K looked at the girl, and he aimed a pistol at her.

"K-san don't!"

He smirked at the girl, and holstered the pistols.

"You have a lot of moxie kid…Fine…"

Everyone except Yuki stared at Sarai, mouths agape.

"How did she do that?" said Kiyuri.

Sarai turned around.

"K-san knew that if he'd harm one hair on my head, Noriko would've rung him dry…"

She smiled.

"We should get back to the studio, we do have to rehearse for the performance."

The four of them nodded.

"Bye Yuki!" said Shuichi.

Yuki grabbed him.

"Not so fast you damn brat…"

He turned the younger male around and placed his lips firmly on his, pulling him into a hard kiss. He quickly let go and the younger male blushed.

"Yuki…"

Yuki smirked.

"See you at home, you damn brat…"

He nodded, and ran out the café to join the others.

"Hey brat…where are you playing at again?"

"Zepp Tokyo Clubhouse…why'd you ask?"

"Hn."

NG Studio-

Sarai sat on a chair, notebook open, a pencil in her mouth.

"Hmmm…What to write?"

She took the pencil out of her mouth and looked at the paper.

I can only hear your heart

It makes me long for you

Why did we go our separate ways?

If we are meant to be together…

"No no no!"

She erased the lines and sighed.

"I'll never get this song done!" she screamed.

She tried again.

I can only hear your heart

Through the reflections

I can still see you

You haunt me for eternity…

"Arrgh! That's even worse!"

She erased the last three lines and slammed the notebook. She threw it across the room.

"Ow!"

She hit someone on the head.

"Aiya!" She said. "I'm so sorry!"

The person grabbed the notebook.

"That's okay! I'm not hurt na no da!"

She looked up, and it was Ryuichi.

"Oh Ryu!" she said.

"Ahiru-chan!"

He glomped Sarai, who turned pink.

"My name's Sarai…not Ahiru anymore…"

"Ryu-chan like Sarai-chan's real name…"

He held out the notebook.

"Why Sarai-chan hit Ryu with a blue notebook?"

Sarai lowered her head.

"I was frustrated…"

"With the notebook?"

Sarai shook her head.

"I'm trying to write a song…"

Ryuichi opened the notebook.

(Song playing- Echo Harmony)

Sometimes, when I'm alone

I began to reminisce

About the time we first met

He read through the couple of pages, and smiled.

"You write your own songs?" he said, a little more mature.

Sarai nodded.

"You could say that…"

When we were young

You saw me crying

And brushed the tears away from my eyes

Ryuichi sat next to Sarai.

"You're a good writer na no da…"

Sarai smiled.

"Atsushi was the one who got me into writing my own songs…he said I had the potential to be a great songwriter."

Can't you see (Can't you see)

What you've turned me into

I can't stop (I can't stop)

Thinking of you

Ryuichi smiled.

"He was right…Ahiru…"

Sarai turned her head and looked away.

"Why must you call me that?" she said in a low voice.

You're like a shadow

You always are with me

Like an echo (Like an echo)

You come when I call

He removed her cap and ran his fingers through her hair.

"It's such a lovely name Ahiru-chan…Why did you change it?"

She lowered her head.

"I told you…" she said. "To forget…"

I can't forget you

I want to, but I can't

Like a harmony and melody

We belong as one

Ryuichi turned Sarai around.

"Why should you need to forget?"

"You don't understand!"

Ryuichi stared at Sarai, his eyes shorter than usual.

"What's there not to understand…Ahiru-chan…"

Tell me (Tell me)

Why can't I forget you?

Why do you still haunt me?

I need to know

He embraced the girl, softly tracing his fingers down her back.

"Ahiru…" he said, in a soft voice. "Ahiru…"

"Don't call me tha—"

Show me (Show me)

Is there a reason?

Can there be something

That you want me to do?

Ryuichi placed a finger on her lips.

"Shhh…" he said.

Sarai blushed, their lips a small distance from each other.

My echo is you

My shadow is you

My love is you

Ryuichi was about to kiss her again, but she turned away.

"No…I…I can't…"

Sarai grabbed her notebook and stood up.

"I'm sorry Ryu…I can't…"

She ran out, tears falling down her face.

"I can't…"

Ryuichi stood there, a look of fear on his face.

"Ahiru?"

He stood up and went for the door.

"I can't do it…"

He heard Sarai's voice through the door.

"I shouldn't have told him my name…It'll happen again…she'll come…Ayashi"

Ryuichi was confused.

"Who's Ayashi?"

Somewhere in Tokyo-

A girl was standing in the park, holding a picture of Atsushi.

"Ahiru…"

The girl took out a flyer, a picture of One Desire was on it. She took out a knife and slashed the picture.

"Finally…I'll have my revenge on that bitch for taking my Atsushi away from me…"

She took out a ticket to Tokyo.

"You're mine Ahiru…I'll kill you at this concert!"

She walked into the moonlight, a girl with navy blue hair and purple eyes stared up at the sky.

"Or my name isn't Ayashi…"

Well, it looks like Ahiru/Sarai has some trouble coming her way! Who is this Ayashi? And why does she want to kill Ahiru? Plus, One Desire's first gig! Will it be their last? Find out next time!

Plushies for everyone who reviews!
