imafrEEkinhobbit: Now the mysterious figure is up to something. Can guess? Hehehe… Thanks for your review!
CloudXZax: Don't hide away…. It's just that… Shuichi's death is a forbidden secret that can only unlock with time. Hehehe…. Stick around and it will unlock by itself. Good to hear you love him and that's the same for me too but….. I just can't suppress my sadist streak in me… I'll try my best to torment him less. (cynical laughter) I'm just joking...Thanks for you review!
wendyghost: Gee… Thanks for your review!
GuardianHisoka: Good to hear that it's awesome. Thanks for your review!

Death and Rebirth 9: Everything's beginning…
Just when the clock strikes 11.10 a.m., Ryuichi entered the record room and saw Hiro, Suguru and K-san.
"Ohaiyo! Minna-san!" Ryuichi exclaimed as he jumped into the room with his kumagorou. Suguru and Hiro nodded and smiled at him as a reply.
"Yo! You are late, Ryuichi." K-san smiled at Ryuichi with his hand holding a cloth polishing his gun. " I've finished polishing all my baby while waiting for you." Ryuichi chuckled and scratched his head.
"I'm sorry. Don't be angry at me, please…" Ryuichi took out kumagorou and placed it in front of his. "Yeah, yeah. Since he has apologized, forgive him please. That is for my sake, na no da" 'Kumagorou' said with his hand pleading.
Suguru sweat dropped, "Hai... hai… He is forgiven."
"Well, we are not even angry at you, Ryuichi." added Hiro.
"Yahoo! No one is angry at Ryuichi!" Ryuichi exclaimed jumping up and down holding kumagorou both hands. Suddenly at the door, a twister flew in and finally stopped right in front of Ryuichi.
"Ryuichi-kun! Where were you? I have been looking for you since the minute you didn't show up." Sakano said frantically with his hand wailing above him.
"Gee… Sorry, Sakano-chan! You see… I was walking down the street when I suddenly saw an old…." Ryuichi was stopped by K who fired a bullet to the ceiling.
"Enough of explanation, Ryuichi. Time to work now."
"Hai!" Ryuichi went to the sofa and placed his kumagorou on the couch, "Kumagorou. Wait for Ryu-chan here!" Ryuichi quickly went into the recording room to join Suguru and Hiro who was already waiting for him for a moment.
Ryuichi put on the headphone and nodded at the crew to start the recording. Just as the music starts to play, Ryuichi closed his eyes to concentrate on the song. When the time arrived, he opened his mouth and the whole recording room began to flow with his voice, singing the song with his soul fully dedicated to Shuichi.

At Tohma's office, a girl dressed in spaghetti stripe with a long white skirt and a man in a suit is seated in front of Tohma.
"I would really like to sign her under your label to fully grow her potential and get her name known around the world." The man in a suit said to Tohma. Tohma smiled politely at him.
"That's good news. I have once heard her sang and her voice was great. I think we are able to fully bring out her potential if she works hard enough." After Tohma finished his sentence, he turned and looked at the girl, giving her his polite smile. The girl smiled and nodded at him.
"Well, it seems like we think alike here, Tohma-san." The man stood up and offered his hand to Tohma. Tohma stood up and took his hand.
"Well… I hope we are able to work together, Rensuka-san." Tohma then pull his hand back and offered a handshake to the girl. "… and you too, Arizu-san."
Arizu took Tohma's hand and shook it politely. She smiled at Tohma and said "I hope so too, Tohma-san."

After Ryuichi finished his day practice, he quickly went to the couch to pick kumagorou up.
"It's time to go home kumagorou-chan!" Ryuichi said to his pink rabbit as he walked out from the room. Being too indulged in his talk with his toy, Ryuichi was walking into someone without noticing it.
"Ouch!" Both voice echoed through the corridor as they bumped into each other.
Ryuichi quickly look up and apologize to the person, "Sorry! I wasn't looking."
"It's okay. It's my fault too… Oh my god… Aren't you Sakuma Ryuichi?" the girl exclaimed loudly when she saw Ryuichi.
"Eh? Yeah...! That's me! And this is my partner, kumagorou-chan!" Ryuichi replied the girl happily while holding the pink rabbit next to him.
"This is great! I'm a big fan of yours, Ryuichi-sama!" Arizu squealed happily shaking Ryuichi's both hands.
Suddenly a deep voice called out for Arizu from behind, "Arizu," Arizu dropped Ryuichi's hands and turned behind. She smiled at Rensuka. Rensuka just looked at her with his without any emotion changes.
"Behave yourself." said Rensuka simply as he fixed his glasses back to its position.
Arizu rolled her eyes and replied Rensuka with a sense of irritated, "Yes sir."
Rensuka cleared his throat when he heard Arizu addressing him 'sir'. He then walked slowly towards them and extended his hand to Ryuichi for a handshake.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sakuma-san."
Ryuichi took his hand and shook it fast that nearly send Rensuka bouncing up and down, "It's a pleasure to meet you too!"
After Ryuichi pulled his hand off, Rensuka quickly recovered from the handshake. He smiled politely at Ryuichi.
"I'm sorry that I did not introduce myself," Rensuka took out a business card, "My name is Narumi Rensuka and I'm a manager for this girl." Rensuka politely handed Ryuichi his business card. Ryuichi stared at his card in awed.
"I bet you and K could get along well since you are both manager." Ryuichi said happily. He then looked at Arizu. "Oh… I'm sorry but I haven't known your name yet."
"Opps… Sorry, I forgot. I was too happy when I saw you." Arizu extended her hand, "My name is Seirin Arizu. From today onwards, I'll be under N-G Production. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope that one day we'll work together, Ryuichi-sama."
Ryuichi took her hand and let a little bit of his seriousness seeps in, "Me too."

Back the dark, Rensuka was talking to Arizu in a quiet little room. Rensuka was looking out the window at the glimmering city while Arizu was seated on the couch with her long blue hair covering her face.
"You did a great job today, Arizu." said Rensuka. Arizu did not answer him but remained silent. Rensuka then turned behind and face Arizu. He hated when people does not give any response to what he said. He walked over to Arizu and grabbed her by the shoulder.
Arizu looked away and thus angering Rensuka more.
"Don't tell me you are going to back up right now?" Rensuka said angrily. Arizu bit her lips. Suddenly, Rensuka's face calm down and he grinned evilly. He let go off Arizu and brushed his brown hair.
"Arizu-chan… You are not going to back off now, right? I'm sure that you missed your life, don't you? I think that your sister, Yuru is still waiting for you in that quiet little house with your parents." With the mention of Arizu's sister's name, her eyes widen and she looked up at Rensuka with hatred.
"Don't you dare touch her or anyone of my family!" Arizu shouted.
Rensuka turned and walked towards the door, "No, I won't. Just listen to me and I'll leave them alone, especially your sister but I will not hesitate. After all, she's a good sacrifice." He turned the knob and walked out of the room leaving Arizu screaming.
"No!" Arizu slowly quiet down into sobs.
I can't do it… I don't want to do it… I don't want to hurt anyone…
Rensuka words flashes through her brain.
'… I will not hesitate. After all, she is a good sacrifice…'
Arizu trembled and continued to cry with a dilemma feeling.

Ryuichi was sitting outside the balcony thinking about Arizu.
That girl… Though she might look happy but there seemed to be a big burden behind those happy eyes… I hope that I can help her in anyway… I don't want the same thing to happen again…
Ryuichi rested his head on the chair and closed his eyes, resting himself.

At 1.15 a.m., in N-G building.
A figure came into a room and locked the door behind him. He then stepped on a chair and hanged himself….
