I'm updating on time it's a miracle! Everyone run for the hills! Just kidding but really this will be the fastest I ever updated my stories and it feels great! Also just so you all know if you guys think my chapters look all bunched together (and I know ya'll know what I'm talkin about!) that's doing that not me I put lines and dividers in my chapters to seperate the sections in each part but when I put the chapter up on the net they dissapear. I don't know if it's my computer or the website doing it; if you guys know what to do could yall help me please?

I'm adding in some other characters from other anime's who will play staring roles. See if you can guess who they are from their descriptions before I actualy introduce them in the chapter.

I also want to thank KousukeAsazuki for the shout out I really appreciate it.Also like I told her this chapter and the next one are dedicated to her.

Recap:

It's been a year since the Blade Children showdown and Kanone has vanished without a trace,and so have the hunters. Eyes can't stop worrying about Kanone and has been having very disturbing dreams about the whole situation and now seeks to find him anyway he can. Meanwhile with the Gravitation gang Tohma's trying to come up with a new gimmick for NG Records,and with some help from Ryuichi and Shuichi comes up with the greatest idea ever an international tour of today's hottest teen artist! Let the fun and mayhem begin!

Chapter two: Invitation

Disclaimer:I don't own Spiral or Gravitation or any of the other characters featuring in this story. Ya happy!

Shuichi Shindou was bored and not just any bored super bored and when Shuichi was bored then someone else always ended up with a migrane for when he was bored then he found entertainment in other people. To put it bluntly he would unintentionaly bug the living hell out of everyone around him just ask Nittle Grasper's Noriko Ukai and Tohma Seguchi who weren't very happy with him right now for some reason. Apparently when Shuichi arrived at the studio all hyper and happy he caused Ryuichi who had just settled down to become hypered too and Noriko and Tohma were nothappy. Shuichi was now bored and his feelings were now hurt Yuki had already yelled at him this morning but his fiancee' was always grouchy in the morning actualy he was always that way period.

Shuichi sat queitly at a conference table waiting for the final meeting they had all been called for to start. It had been almost five months since operation 'Shining Stars Tour' was put into action and Tohma and the NG Records staff have been working around the clock to set everything up.From seting concert dates,making hotel reservations,flight arrangments,reserving concert stdiums,getting publicity for the whole thing it was starting to make his head spin thinking of how much work they've had to do. Bad Luck was put in charge of publicity which was simple enough they had a concert and had announced the tour there, but the hardest time they've had was trying to figure out who to invite on tour. The teens had to have pure talent and they had to make sure that the teens would be able to get along with each other and would be crowd pleasers, they finally decided on six teens.

Everyone finally arrived in the room and the meeting began Tohma being president started off "O.k. I know all of you are looking forward to the tour to finally begin." everyone nodded to this if they had to do another thing for this tour they were all going to scream!"We've only have two days until the artist arrive and we leave to start the tour. The reason I called this meeting was to clarify things if any of you have any questions or concerns." said Tohma; Hiro was the first to say something "Everything has been set Mr.Seguchi I don't think there's anything we forgot." he said calmly "Yeah, all I want is to go on tour, and meet the kids!" shouted Ryuichi "Ryuichi calm down you'll meet them in a couple more days be patient we're all excited about the tour." Noriko said with her motherly type way. Shuichi couldn't help but smile he was looking forward to the tour too they all were; they had carefully picked out the artist and he had heard their work before they were all talented. He hadn't had the chance of meeting any of them before so this would be the first time they all seemed interesting to say the least.

"Yes well like I said the tour begins in two days we've all worked hard these past four and a half months setting things up, and we've piked the best of the best to join us and they've all confirmed their joining along so no screw ups should arise during all this." Tohma replied true it had been a stressful task but if everything went according to his master plan then it would so be worth it in the end. "Alright if we're all on the same page then I guess we can conclude this meeting everyone rest up because we have a long road a head of us." with that said everyone got up to leave. Oh yes they most deffinatly had a long road ahead of them.

(back with the Spiral gang)

A gun shot

A scream, a scream he didn't know

voices he didn't know sreaming, screaming for him

"EYES,KANONE!"

why were they screaming for him and Kanone

a face, a figure he did know, it was Kanone

what was he holding in his hand?

A gun, a gun pointed at him!

Why?

Why was Kanone shedding tears?

What was going on?

All of a sudden the gun in Kanone's hand went off as the trigger was pulled and all that was heard was the gunshot and more screams.

(end of dream)

Eyes sat up in bed shacking and sweating that dream scared the hell out of him it always did. After he calmed himself down Eyes made his way to the kitchen he needed something to drink; ounce he got some coffe (A.N./ that stuff works miracles trust me I know) he glanced at the clock it was 8:45 in the morning he had to be at NG Records at twelve. It was about a month ago when he got a letter from the record company asking if he would like to join their tour from what was said in the invitation he would be joined by five other teen artist and the legendary bands Nittle Grasper and Bad Luck were joinig along too. The tour was world wide and would last from eight to nine months; he looked at the invitation which was sitting on the kitchen counter the thought that came to mind was the day he got the invitation and told the other Blade Children.

(flashback Yay)

Eyes sat in the chair quietly thinking; he had gotten a invitation from the world famous NG Records that morning and was kinda in a pinch. They asked him to join a tour they were planning the catch was he'd be gone for a very long time yes he had gone on tours before but none this long. Eyes had always made sure to make his tours as short as possible because he didn't want to leave the others for very long even though he knew they could all take care of themselves he just felt more comfortable when he was there with them. He never really showed the others how much he cared or worried about them (he be damned before he let Kousuke find out) it's just it had always been that way since they were young.

When they all lived together him and Kanone being the oldest (A.N./ I don't know if that's true I know Kanone is the oldest out of all of them but I don't know if Eyes is the second oldest, well let's just say in this fic he is.) were the ones to look out for Kousuke,Ryoko, and Rio they practically had to play mom and dad; Eyes sure as hell felt like he was someone's mother. They took care of everything breaking up fights, getting them ready for school, handeling school situations, and teaching them the rules of survival; Kanone and himself used to sometimes laugh (well Kanone laughed all he usually did was smile) because they did feel like parents sometimes. He and Kanone use to even argue who was the mom and who was the dad Kanone insisted that he was the dad and Eyes was the mom, like hell! Eyes was determined at the time to prove Kanone wrong, but as time went on he let it go on grounds of it being a immature arguement while in truth he knew Kanone was right he didn't know why which annoyed him to no end but he knew Kanone was right.

So it was his 'mother intincts' that got him in this situation now. Everyone was gathered for another get together at a little restraunt for lunch he had the invitation in his pocket and was planning on telling everyone to see what they would think. He really didn't care what Little Narumi or Hiyono had to say even if they were his friends (still not use to saying it, but it was true) his main concern was on the other three Blade Children especially Rio who he knew wouldn't be very happy.Apparently Eyes had been zoned out for a little too long because someone was now trying to get his attention.

"Eyes are you o.k.?" it turns out it was Rio who was trying to get his attention. "Yes Rio I'm fine." he didn't want to worry her even if his news might make her upset. "Are you sure? You look like you're worried about something." Rio was a very bright kid so she wasn't believing what Eyes said by a long shot what ever was worrying Eyes it must be big."Actually Rio I have something I need to tell you actually I have something I need to tell all of you ." Eyes now had everyone's attention with his statement actually whenever Eyes spoke he had someone's attention cause he was that type of person. "What is it you need to tell us Eyes is it something bad" Rio was now actually worried "Yeah Rutherford what's so important?" asked Kousuke. Eyes figured now was as good a time as ever while he had everyone's attention so he pulled out the invitation from his pocket and tossed it on the table and waited for one of them to read it out loud knowing one of them will. Ayumu was the one to read the letter at first he read it to himself and got a shocked look on his face then pulled himself together and read it out loud, it read as follows...

Everyone stared in shock for a moment which was beginning to make Eyes uncomfortable then finally one of them showed signs of life unfortunatly it was Kousuke who responded first. "YOU WERE INVITED ON A TOUR WITH BAD LUCK AND NITTLE GRASPER!" he shouted at the top of his lungs with shock and excitement the excitement wasn't for Eyes the hell it was for Eyes it was the fact that he probably had a chance to meet his two favorite bands! That was the other reason why Eyes was hesitant to tell the others he knew Kousuke, Rio, and even Ryoko were big fans of the two legendary bands and would get excited ounce they found out. "Yes I've been invited, but I don't think I'm going I can't leave you three here by yourselves that long." Eyes said trying to keep his true concern out of his voice. "THE HELL YOUR NOT GOING!" everyone at the table shouted Eyes was going on that tour if they had anything to say about it. "Look I'll be gone for eight to nine months doesn't that click in somewhere in your heads?" Eyes was a little dissopointed that all of them wanted him gone that much he thought at least Rio would care. "Of course we care Eyes, but this is a fun opportunity for you and a even better chance for us!" said a hyperd Rio "Yeah a chance to meet Shuichi Shindou would be the best thing to ever happen to me!" squeled Hiyono who had a dreamy look in her eyes. Ayumu glared at her for a moment a pang of jealously went through him "You do know the guy is gay right?" he asked her; she glared at him "Why do you have to ruin my fun you jerk!" she then promtly started hitting him.

"Look I just don't think this is a good idea." said Eyes he didn't know why he was protesting going because something inside of him was saying that going was a good idea. "Look Eyes you're going and that's final!" said Ryoko which shocked everyone she stopped then blushed at her next statement "You should go it might be good for you we all know how torn up you've been since Kanone dissapeared this...this could help you forget for a while... help you clear your head ya know." Ryoko turned away blushing even though she stopped hating Eyes months ago and began to consider him a friend she didn't want anyone especially him to know, but she couldn't stand seeing him suffering none of them could. Eyes stared at Ryoko in shock, (though you couldn't see it on his face since he was a expert at hideing it) then looked around the table at the others they all smiled at him all except Kousuke who scoffed and at him "Don't let it get to your head Rutherford the only reason I want you to go is because that way I can meet Nittle Grasper, and get you outta my hair for nine months." he said smartly, but Eyes could tell he was half lying. Eyes did something that he didn't do very often he smiled... then ruined the moment with "What makes you so sure I'd let you or any of you at that matter meet them or give you tickets?" the table they were sitting at was then thrown to hell as everyone made a fuss over Eyes' comment.

(end of flashback)

So that's how Eyes ended up in the limousine he was now in on his way to NG Records. They did end up convincing him to go, and even talked him into agreeing to fly them out to one of the shows and guarantee them tickets to the concert that was being held in Tokyo when they returned to the country. Truth be told Eyes was planning on going anyway why well ever get that feeling inside that said that the decision you were making was the right one and that if you decided otherwise you were going to regret it? If you wanted to know why Eyes was hesitant to go in the first place well lets just say Eyes knew all about the people he was going to be working with. How could he not he hung around three well now five people including Hiyono and Ayumu who were huge fans of the two bands! If you wanted to know just how much he knew well get comfortable cause he knew a lot now where to begin...

Let's start with Nittle Grasper the legendary band which sold over a billion records world wide the band consisted of Ryuichi Sakuma,Tohma Seguchi, and Noriko Ukai. Tohma and Noriko are the two keyboardist of the band, and Ryuichi is the lead singer with split personalities one that is mysterious and charming and one that acted like he was five years old. Tohma is also the president of NG Records and is married to Mika Uesugi well now Seguchi, but anyway that brought us to the band Bad Luck...

You see Mika is the older sister of famous romance novelist Eiri Yuki who in turn is the sexy fiance' of Shuichi Shindou who is the hyper active and lively lead singer of the award winning famous band Bad Luck which also consisted of guitarist Hiroshi a.k.a Hiro Nakano who is Shuichi's best friend, and Suguru Hujisaka on keyboard who is Tohma's cousin. Also Yuki and Mika had a younger brother named Tatsuha who is dating Ryuichi. God it was like everyone was related to each other or had some type of relation to someone.

So yes, as you can see Eyes knew all about them, and honestly he could wait to meet them oh, yes he could wait. The limo pulled up to the studio; Eyes stared at the building it was pretty big, but that was just a passing thought. Eyes walked inside the room they were suppose to meet and took in his surroundings there were many people there some he regonized instantly as the people of the two bands, but some he didn't know he had seen them somewhere but he never meet them.

The first was a girl about a little older then him she looked like she would be Kanone's age she had beautiful blond hair which went to her shoulders but the thing that stood out were her eyes they were a beautiful orange gold.She had on a red tank top, and black jeans and jacket with some red sneakers she also had a black choker around her neck.She held the air of a tomboy you could just tell that if you crossed her the wrong way she'll knock the mess out of you.

The next was a boy about his age maybe a little younger he was the most interesting he had purple hair and eyes of the same color. He was very good looking he had tan skin and doned a dark blue satin botton down shirt, black lethar pants, and black boots. He seemed like the type of person who loved having a good time, but he also gave off the air that he was a womanizer which was proven with the fact that he had two girls practicaly hanging off of him.

Then there was a girl about the same age as the boy she was pretty cute she had long dark brown hair that went to her mid-back and had a braid on the right side that hung over her shoulder. She had brown eyes that held a lot of life in them. She had on a white mid driff shirt that had pink writing and designs on it, and some blue hip hugger jeans and pink and white sneakers. She was chatting happily with Noriko she seemed like a very excitable person (note to self watch my back around her).

The last two seemed to be the youngest out of all of them they both looked about the same age around fourteen. The first was a boy; he had long black hair tied in a low ponytail and had a bandana wrapped around his head. His eyes were a shade of beautiful midnight blue, and he had on a two layer shirt which were both a shade of blue one dark blue the other midnight blue. He had baggy black jeans with a silver chain hanging on the side. He seemed to hold a take no shit air about him and seemed to be a very distant person.

The last was a young girl she was very cute and for some reason reminded Eyes of Rio.She had short reddish brown hair that just touched her shoulders and very pretty light brown eyes. She too seemed like a tomboy but not as intense as the blonde girl, because this girl also held a air of sweetness about her yet at the same time could still prove that she could kick someone's butt. She had on a simple short sleeve green shirt and a half denim jacket and simple blue jeans and black gym shoes. It was easy to see she liked simple comfortable clothes.

Eyes was a little skeptical of the others were these the other five artist he was to tour with, well if they were picked they most be good who was he to judge? All a sudden Eyes felt a tap on his shoulder he turned around and came face to face with a man who looked to be in his early thirties he had kind youthful blue eyes that betrayed his age and dark green hair yep, it was no other then Ryuichi Sakuma. "Hi, I haven't meet you yet you must be the piano player what's your name um...Eyes, Eyes Rutherford right?" Ryuichi said with a smile; Eyes was a little insulted, but shrugged it off "Yes, that's me you're Ryuichi Sakuma correct?" he was hoping Ryuichi just wanted to say hi and would leave him alone, but unfortunatly neither luck or hope were on his side today "Yep that's me! Ryu-chan is happy you're here why are you all off on the side by yourself come over here with everybody else!" Ryuichi then grabbed a hold of Eyes' hand and dragged him over to the others. Eyes was stunned for a moment and stared from his hand which was locked inside Ryuichi's to Ryuichi and emmited a low growl. Ryuichi was taken back for a second and looked to Eyes who was glaring at him he just smiled gently with a knowing smile, and let go of Eyes' hand and kept walking knowing Eyes was still following him.

When they made their way to the group everyone turned to acknowledge them and said hi. Eyes didn't say anything he just nodded to them apparently that wasn't enough for Ryuichi who went and introduced him. "Hey everyone the last artist is here meet Eyes Rutherford the famous piano player!" he said that smile of his never falting Eyes looked at Ryuichi with a annoyed look on his face' you'd think they'd know that how many british silver haired piano playing teenagers do you come across?' he thought. The purple haired teen was the one to walk over first he smiled sweetly at Eyes which unnerved him a bit "Nice to finally meet you Eyes I'm Dark Mousy it's a pleasure I've heard alot about you." Dark then took a hold of Eyes' hand and kissed it! Eyes just went into shock for a minute then snatched his hand from Dark's grasp this guy wasn't just a womanizer, but a bisexual player Eyes gave Dark his deadliest glare, but you could see the blush coming across his face(note to self sleep with one eye open if I end up sharing a room with him) Dark just smiled at Eyes and laughed a little that was until he got hit in the back of the head.

Dark turned to see who had hit him it was the blonde haired girl who just gave Dark a death glare that promised just that if he didn't calm his horny butt down. "Dark you pervert stop harrasing Eyes that's just rude!" yelled the youngest girl she turned to Eyes and smiled apologeticlly "I'm so sorry Eyes, Dark's always like this he just can't seem to control himself, by the way I'm Riku Harada" she said sweetly for some reason seeing her smile made his anger fade away slowly ver slowly. "Yeah right Dark hits on anything that moves if it looks good he's just a bisexual pervert." said the black haired boy who then turned to Eyes and stared deep into his eyes as if checking for something. When he was done searching for whatever it was he smiled slightly at Eyes "I'm Kouji Minamoto I've heard your work before it's good I have to say I'm impressed." Eyes smiled slightly he could get along with this kid. All of a sudden out of no where Eyes was takled by someone fortunatly he was able to remain standing but was ounce again stunned (this was becoming a habit for him here) he turned his head to see the brown haired girl was the one who jumped on his back! The girl smiled at him innocently "Hi Eyes I'm Nakuru Asazuki I've been waiting for you to show up I'm a big fan of yours!" 'Yeah right.' Eyes thought sarcasticlly he then as politely as he could shrugged the girl off his back "It's nice to meet you too Nakuru, but could I ask that you don't do that again?" Eyes couldn't keep the annoyance out of his voice even if he tried.

"Nakuru could you not tackle every good looking guy you meet." the blonde said; she seemed to be the ring leader of the little group keeping everyone in line. "I'm Cagalli, Cagalli Yula Atha. I'm the so called guardian of this group as you can see I keep these crazy dopes under control." she said. Eyes' assumption of her was correct she was a very powerful girl he could tell he noded his head to her and she did the same; all of a sudden a guy he could assume was Tohma Seguchi and some other people he guessed were the other assorted members of the bands came up to the group. "Alright I can see everyone's here so we can be off we're running a bit behind scheduale, our plane is waiting for us so we'll have to finish introductions on the there." with that he turned and started walking out the building the others did the same. Cagalli turned to the others and smiled happily "You guys ready to start this party?" Nakuru jumped up and down excitingly and started out the door.

Eyes and Riku watched her leave and both sighed Eyes looked to Riku and smiled slightly and she did the same "You think you can put up with that for nine months?" she asked motioning towards the door. Eyes thought for a moment "I really don't know honostly." he said truthfully cause he really didn't "Don't worry she's not like that all the time, Nakuru I mean she's just excited about the tour. The rest of us are pretty easy to get along with even Dark when he's not being a pervert." Riku said with a smile. "Hey you two love birds coming or not?" called Dark from the doorway Eyes glared at him who in turn just smiled (that was getting on his last nerves) Riku glared at Dark too for a moment but then started walking towards the door, but before she walked out she turned to Eyes "Try to enjoy the trip as much as you can I know I will." with that she ran outside with the others.

Eyes stared at the door she just walked out of for a moment thinking over what she just said, but decided to ponder over it later. He just shook his head slightly and walked out the building to catch up with the rest of artist maybe he could survive this trip.

A.N./ I took longer than I really wanted to getting this chapter up, but on the upside I finished earlier then I normaly do. I hope I kept the new characters well in character. My idea was to add characters who noone would really expect could be musical artist so I hope you like the ones I picked.

side notes: For those who aren't familier with Gravitation just so you all know Tatsuha and Ryuichi aren't a official couple in the anime or manga, but if you go to the Gravitation fanfics on this site you'll see plenty of Tatsuha+Ryuichi fics because they look so cute together (at least I think so) so I thought you should know if you didn't.

Also Dark's not really bisexual, but he is a player I just like writing him as such also because in this fic Dark's going to cause a lot of problems for Eyes.

here is a list of the new charaters and animes they are from:

Cagalli Yula Atha-Gundam Seed

Dark Mousy-D.N.Angel

Nakuru Asazuki-CardCaptor Sakura

Kouji Minamoto-Digimon season 4 a.k.a Digimon Frontier

Riku Harada-D.N.Angel

preview:

the tour is beginning and Eyes is starting to get use to his new co workers well some of them. Eyes has to survive his plane ride to Euroupe which Nakuru and Dark are determined to make a living hell for him. Plus to make things more difficult he has to survive Ryuichi and Shuichi who he hasn't even encounterd yet! This is going to be a plane ride to remember.
