The dice were thrown. "Paradise" rises from the future. You and I unite in the far away dream, And we'll get across this blood red river.
If I can return all of your tears back to the sea, Will the sins and pain be forgotten too? Warmth was given to a lonely wing By that precious kiss. For the one who had only one promise, And kept it...

~~19 00 Hrs, 07.12.2003, the Tokyo stadium~~
"Now we will present the greatest band of all, the Assassins singing their most popular song, Tactic!!" The whole stadium roared as they saw the band coming out. The band consisted of Sagara Sanosuke, 23, the vocalist and the guitarist, Seta Soujiro, 20, also the vocalist and the guitarist, Himura Kenshin, 25, the drummer and the last, Shinomori Aoshi, 24, the bass and composer. They are the new band formed earlier this year with the help of the most influential man in Japan's music world, Kashiwazaki Nenji, who were happen to be Aoshi's grandfather.
The crowd roared louder when the music started.

The crowd screamed again as the music fades away. The second song came a while after the end of Tactic. It was also one of their most popular songs, Heart of sword - Yoake Mae.

"We'll have ten minutes break now. Please wait for our third song, Wind." Sanosuke said through his microphone before walking back into the backstage.
~~17 10, inside the Assassins' resting room~~
"Yo Minna-san!!" Kashiwazaki Nenji or also known as Okina said cheerfully to the band. He was the Assassins' manager who made their band become so popular.
"Yo." Sanosuke replied warily while slumping down on the sofas which are provided in the room.
"Come on, what's wrong?" Okina asked again.
"Nothing." Sanosuke replied again with the same tone.
"He's just tired, I think," Kenshin replied.
"Why is it only me who is the vocalist?! I'm tired of this!!" Sanosuke yelled while slamming his hand on the table which happened to be in front of him.
"Hey, how 'bout me, huh?! I'm the vocalist too!" Soujiro yelled back while standing up trying to punch Sanosuke but was stopped by Kenshin who were an expert on Kenjutsu.
"Maa Maa, Omae-tachi," Kenshin said while holding the fuming Soujiro down.
"Haiii. how could they actually be a band like this.?" Okina muttered under his breath.
"Aoshi," Okina said to catch Aoshi's attention.
"Hmm?" Aoshi said while turning his head towards Okina.
"About the contract with Misao-chan, have you thought about it already?"
"Aaa." Aoshi replied.
"Hei, what contract?" Sanosuke cut in while sitting down on a chair beside Okina.
"It's none of your business, Sano," Okina said back.
"Cheh," Sanosuke said while crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Anta-tachi, it's time!" a female voice said while knocking on the door.
"Aaa, wait for a second Megumi," Okina said while looking at the door. "Ok you guys, Ganbatte!" Okina said while patting on Sanosuke's back.
"Yes, we will," it was Kenshin who answered.
"Yo, Kitsune-onna, why don't we hang out together after this, huh?" Sanosuke said while leaning on the door frame as he walked out the room.
"Why should I go out with you, tori atama?" Megumi replied while looking at her fingernails uninterested.
"Awww, come on." Sanosuke coaxed. Suddenly a hand appeared from Sanosuke's back and pinched his ear.
"Come on Sano!" Soujiro said while pulling Sanosuke to the stage by his ear.
"Ouch! Ouch! Let go you stupid guy!" Sanosuke said while trying to pull Soujiro's hand off his ear.
~~ 17 20, on the stage of Tokyo stadium~~
The crowd screamed again as they saw the band coming out again.
"We'll now continue our concert with our third song today, Wind," Sanosuke's voice boomed all over the stadium
The screaming subsided a little as the music started.
Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain, never coming down.
Break into the contents, never falling down.
My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
You say, "Dreams are dreams.
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."
You say, "'Cause I still got my soul."
Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.
You still are blind, if you see a winding road,
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end...
The music slowly fades away as Sanosuke coughed to catch everyone's attention.
"Good evening everyone, thanks for coming to our first ever concert. It won't be successful without you guys." Sanosuke's voice boomed again. "Now we'll now continue with out forth song, Haruka Kanata!"
The sound of guitar was heard before Sanosuke started to sing.

The crowd started screaming again and some of them were trying to climb up on the stage. Gladly there were bodyguards guarding the stage from being intruded. The fifth song came right after the end of Haruka kanata. It was one of their newest song, Rocks.
Come on!

The song ended with more applause and screaming from the crowd. The band had another ten minutes break to change their clothes.
~~17 40, on the stage of Tokyo stadium~~
The band came out with a new outfit. Their clothes now were all black except for Sanosuke and Kenshin who had a white t-shirts instead of black.
"We will continue our concert with our first ever made song, One ~ Kono Yo ga Hatete mo Hanarenai," Soujiro said through his microphone. More screaming follow after Soujiro finished.
The music started right after Soujiro finished.

The 7th song came right after the end of One ~ Kono Yo ga Hatete mo Hanarenai. It was also one of their newest songs, Cross my heart.

"This will be our last song for this concert. It is our newest song which we had been planning since last three month, 1/3 junjou no kanjou which will be sang by our drummer, Himura Kenshin!" Sanosuke said through his microphone before passing his guitar to Kenshin.
"Ganbatte. and don't destroy my guitar," Sanosuke said while patting Kenshin's shoulder and walked straight to the drum set replacing Kenshin's place as a drummer.
"I won't." Kenshin replied while settling the guitar's straps on his left shoulder. "Here goes nothing." Kenshin mumbled to himself before singing the song. The music started with the sounds of guitar from Kenshin.

"This will be the end of our concert today, hope you enjoy yourself. Please come to the back of this stadium an hour later for our autograph, thank you," Kenshin said with politeness before walking back behind the stage.
~~17 52, in the Assassins' resting room~~
"Good job Kenshin!! Did you see how the crowd reacted when you sing?! I'm pretty sure it will get great response from your fans. I had already say; all of you are great singer," Okina said while patting Kenshin's back as he came in.
"Wait a minute, how do you know all of us are great singer? Everyone had heard three of us singing but we haven't actually heard Aoshi sang before," Soujiro asked Okina while gesturing Sanosuke and Kenshin with his hand.
"Well actually Aoshi could sing but he is just too shy to, right Aoshi?" Okina answered while nudging Aoshi with his elbow. Aoshi only shrugged in return.
"He will only sing to his loved ones but. Haiiii." Okina said while sighing loudly with the other three following his suit.
"Aoshi, you should really find someone to be with you, you know?" Kenshin said while patting to his friend on the shoulder.
"You should say that to yourself, Himura," Aoshi said while shrugging off Kenshin's hand before walking out the door.
"He wasn't like this before. not before they died." Okina said while looking at the door which Aoshi just exited.
~~18 50, behind Tokyo stadium~~
The back of the stadium were already full before the band came out. There were a group of teenagers holding up a banner saying 'The Assassins Rulezzz!!' There were also peoples yelling 'Assassins!' over and over again as the band appeared from the back door of the stadium.
The band sat down on their own place before signing their autograph. Sanosuke sat on the first seat followed by Soujiro, Kenshin and lastly Aoshi. The crowd started running to the band but being stopped by the guards before they reach them.
"One by one!!" one of the guards yelled while letting a teenager through.
"What's your name, pretty lady?" Sanosuke asked the teenager while signing his name on the teen's notepad.
The teenager blushed at Sanosuke's compliment and answered his question shyly, "Sayo desu."
"Oh, the same name as my first girlfriend," Sanosuke said smilingly while passing the notepad to Soujiro. Sayo blushed as she saw Sanosuke smiled at her. "S-sooka." she answered.
"Yeah right." Soujiro muttered while passing the notepad to Kenshin.
"What did you say Sou?" Sanosuke said while cupping his ear and leaned closer to Soujiro.
"Go away you flirter," Soujiro said while pushing Sanosuke back causing Sanosuke almost falling.
"Who did you say is the flirter?" Sanosuke said accusingly while glaring at Soujiro and at the same time balancing himself.
"You and would you just take the bloody damn book and sign Sano!" Soujiro said while tapping his finger on the table.
"Wait till I tell Itachi about the girl you dated last night," Sanosuke said while scribbling down his signature then giving them to Soujiro.
"Don't you even dare to tell her about it and Shura is just my friend," Soujiro said while taking the book roughly from Sanosuke and scribbled down his own signature on the book then passing it to Kenshin.
"Oh yeah, really?" Sanosuke said mockingly at Soujiro while taking the autograph book from another person and received a glare back.
"Yare yare ne." Kenshin said as a sweatdrop formed itself behind his head.

Konnichiwa, Minna-san! This is a new fic I wrote while listening to Haruka Kanata. I know I should be writing Misunderstanding but you know, writer's block. So I decided to write a new fic while finding inspiration for Misunderstanding. But I was thinking to stop writing it. *sigh*
This is an attempt fic so please review to tell me weather I should continue it or not.
This is the translation for some Japanese word I use in the story.
Yo Minna-san!! - Hi Everyone!! Kenjutsu - Swordsmanship Maa maa, Omae-tachi - Calm down, you guys Anta-tachi - Female version of you guys Ganbatte - Work hard or Good luck Kitsune-onna - Fox lady; Sano's nickname for Megumi Tori-atama - Chicken head or Rooster head Sayo desu - It's Sayo Sooka - I see (or something like that) Itachi - Weasel; Sano's nickname for Misao Yare yare ne - Oh boy
This is the list of songs I used for the fic. All the songs belong to their specific owner. I'm only using it for my fic so don't sue me.
1st. Tactics - Rurouni Kenshin 2nd. Heart of sword-Yoake mae (Heart of sword-before dawn) - Rurouni Kenshin 3rd. Wind - Naruto 4th. Haruka kanata (Far-off distance) - Naruto 5th. Rocks - Naruto 6th.

"Awww, come on." Sanosuke coaxed. Suddenly a hand appeared from Sanosuke's back and pinched his ear.
"Come on Sano!" Soujiro said while pulling Sanosuke to the stage by his ear.
"Ouch! Ouch! Let go you stupid guy!" Sanosuke said while trying to pull Soujiro's hand off his ear.
~~ 17 20, on the stage of Tokyo stadium~~
The crowd screamed again as they saw the band coming out again.
"We'll now continue our concert with our third song today, Wind," Sanosuke's voice boomed all over the stadium
The screaming subsided a little as the music started.
Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain, never coming down.
Break into the contents, never falling down.
My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end
You say, "Dreams are dreams.
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."
You say, "'Cause I still got my soul."
Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.
You still are blind, if you see a winding road,
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end...
The music slowly fades away as Sanosuke coughed to catch everyone's attention.
"Good evening everyone, thanks for coming to our first ever concert. It won't be successful without you guys." Sanosuke's voice boomed again. "Now we'll now continue with out forth song, Haruka Kanata!"
The sound of guitar was heard before Sanosuke started to sing.
fumikomuze akuseru kake hiki wa naisa sou dayo

The crowd started screaming again and some of them were trying to climb up on the stage. Gladly there were bodyguards guarding the stage from being intruded. The fifth song came right after the end of Haruka kanata. It was one of their newest song, Rocks.
Come on!

The song ended with more applause and screaming from the crowd. The band had another ten minutes break to change their clothes.
~~17 40, on the stage of Tokyo stadium~~
The band came out with a new outfit. Their clothes now were all black except for Sanosuke and Kenshin who had a white t-shirts instead of black.
"We will continue our concert with our first ever made song, One ~ Kono Yo ga Hatete mo Hanarenai," Soujiro said through his microphone. More screaming follow after Soujiro finished.
The music started right after Soujiro finished.

The 7th song came right after the end of One ~ Kono Yo ga Hatete mo Hanarenai. It was also one of their newest songs, Cross my heart.

"This will be our last song for this concert. It is our newest song which we had been planning since last three month, 1/3 junjou no kanjou which will be sang by our drummer, Himura Kenshin!" Sanosuke said through his microphone before passing his guitar to Kenshin.
"Ganbatte. and don't destroy my guitar," Sanosuke said while patting Kenshin's shoulder and walked straight to the drum set replacing Kenshin's place as a drummer.
"I won't." Kenshin replied while settling the guitar's straps on his left shoulder. "Here goes nothing." Kenshin mumbled to himself before singing the song. The music started with the sounds of guitar from Kenshin.

"This will be the end of our concert today, hope you enjoy yourself. Please come to the back of this stadium an hour later for our autograph, thank you," Kenshin said with politeness before walking back behind the stage.
~~17 52, in the Assassins' resting room~~
"Good job Kenshin!! Did you see how the crowd reacted when you sing?! I'm pretty sure it will get great response from your fans. I had already say; all of you are great singer," Okina said while patting Kenshin's back as he came in.
"Wait a minute, how do you know all of us are great singer? Everyone had heard three of us singing but we haven't actually heard Aoshi sang before," Soujiro asked Okina while gesturing Sanosuke and Kenshin with his hand.
"Well actually Aoshi could sing but he is just too shy to, right Aoshi?" Okina answered while nudging Aoshi with his elbow. Aoshi only shrugged in return.
"He will only sing to his loved ones but. Haiiii." Okina said while sighing loudly with the other three following his suit.
"Aoshi, you should really find someone to be with you, you know?" Kenshin said while patting to his friend on the shoulder.
"You should say that to yourself, Himura," Aoshi said while shrugging off Kenshin's hand before walking out the door.
"He wasn't like this before. not before they died." Okina said while looking at the door which Aoshi just exited.
~~18 50, behind Tokyo stadium~~
The back of the stadium were already full before the band came out. There were a group of teenagers holding up a banner saying 'The Assassins Rulezzz!!' There were also peoples yelling 'Assassins!' over and over again as the band appeared from the back door of the stadium.
The band sat down on their own place before signing their autograph. Sanosuke sat on the first seat followed by Soujiro, Kenshin and lastly Aoshi. The crowd started running to the band but being stopped by the guards before they reach them.
"One by one!!" one of the guards yelled while letting a teenager through.
"What's your name, pretty lady?" Sanosuke asked the teenager while signing his name on the teen's notepad.
The teenager blushed at Sanosuke's compliment and answered his question shyly, "Sayo desu."
"Oh, the same name as my first girlfriend," Sanosuke said smilingly while passing the notepad to Soujiro. Sayo blushed as she saw Sanosuke smiled at her. "S-sooka." she answered.
"Yeah right." Soujiro muttered while passing the notepad to Kenshin.
"What did you say Sou?" Sanosuke said while cupping his ear and leaned closer to Soujiro.
"Go away you flirter," Soujiro said while pushing Sanosuke back causing Sanosuke almost falling.
"Who did you say is the flirter?" Sanosuke said accusingly while glaring at Soujiro and at the same time balancing himself.
"You and would you just take the bloody damn book and sign Sano!" Soujiro said while tapping his finger on the table.
"Wait till I tell Itachi about the girl you dated last night," Sanosuke said while scribbling down his signature then giving them to Soujiro.
"Don't you even dare to tell her about it and Shura is just my friend," Soujiro said while taking the book roughly from Sanosuke and scribbled down his own signature on the book then passing it to Kenshin.
"Oh yeah, really?" Sanosuke said mockingly at Soujiro while taking the autograph book from another person and received a glare back.
"Yare yare ne." Kenshin said as a sweatdrop formed itself behind his head.

Konnichiwa, Minna-san! This is a new fic I wrote while listening to Haruka Kanata. I know I should be writing Misunderstanding but you know, writer's block. So I decided to write a new fic while finding inspiration for Misunderstanding. But I was thinking to stop writing it. *sigh*
This is an attempt fic so please review to tell me weather I should continue it or not.
This is the translation for some Japanese word I use in the story.
Yo Minna-san!! - Hi Everyone!! Kenjutsu - Swordsmanship Maa maa, Omae-tachi - Calm down, you guys Anta-tachi - Female version of you guys Ganbatte - Work hard or Good luck Kitsune-onna - Fox lady; Sano's nickname for Megumi Tori-atama - Chicken head or Rooster head Sayo desu - It's Sayo Sooka - I see (or something like that) Itachi - Weasel; Sano's nickname for Misao Yare yare ne - Oh boy
This is the list of songs I used for the fic. All the songs belong to their specific owner. I'm only using it for my fic so don't sue me.
