The next morning everyone was awoken early and fed an enormous breakfast by the wonderful chef Rynie Shinoa-Son. In separate transportation, they all followed Ryn and Gohan. It was decided that Kokuseki would be left behind for all the recording/rehearsal sessions for Blood 'n' Wine.

When they arrived everyone gathered around Gohan to receive further instructions. The eldest of Son children stood center of attention as everyone readied their instruments. Opening the manilla file folder in which he kept all the music, he began handing them out to each member. "With all our skill, I think we can attempt to have this recorded by the end of the week." He said passing the music sheets around. Everyone looked over the music. Lynk read over the lyrics. Begin the optimistic vocalist she was she nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I can do this. All I need is the music to back it up and I'm ready to go." Lynk said reading over the lyrics.

"Beast of Blood. Wow, Gohan, you really went out of the norm for this one." Elise said.

"But the music will be good. It's different from some of our older stuff. A new vibe in the old routine. Let's try it."

At Gohan's dismissal everyone went to separate rooms with their music sheets and began to practice the music. Curses could be heard when it just wasn't right. This may take a while, he thought. I wonder how they will react when I tell them that after we get the track laid we're shooting the video…

After many, many hours of rehearsal, everyone sat around in the main recording room and pigged out on Ramen noodles and rice. Gohan cleared his throat, "Hey guys, I've got something to say." All eyes turned to the oldest family member there. "After this track gets laid, and after hearing all of you separately, and you all have it down already, we're shooting the video."

"Already?" Lynk asked, mildly shocked, but of course the first to voice her own opinion on the matter.

"Yeah." Gohan nodded. "It's all set up for us. After dinner we're gonna run it all together and lay it tonight. Tomorrow we're shooting the video."

Everyone just kind of stared at him blankly for a short while before Lynk asked, "What kind of style should we go for? You're only giving us one day."

"Well, Lynk, I know how good you are the visual kei make up and such, I thought I could trust you with that." Lynk nodded. "And Elise can whip up costumes like magic." Elise nodded with her I'm always too good smirk. "So I know we can get this done tonight."

So that night they all gathered in the main recording studio. Gohan sat outside the box to edit as the song progressed. Ryn took the place of the base and Goten playing the drums. Elise listened carefully to the lyrics and costumes formulated quickly in her mind. The track was finished that night as Gohan had said it would be. Tomorrow they would shoot the video.

Lynk and Elise stayed up most of the night shelling out costumes, waking others up to fit them and design make up styles that would fit. The two, for all the loathing they had for each other, worked quickly through it all.

The next morning everyone was allowed to sleep in until noon. Over a short lunch Gohan told them that the video would take most of the day to set up for to shoot, and that they would be shooting it at night. He also told them that many of the loyal BW fans would be in the video, "It'll be like an old stage performance."

By seven thirty that night the abandoned building they were filming in was full of fans in the area surrounding the stage. The stage itself was circular, it was how they preferred it so that they could make rounds about it and make performances look so much cooler. On the stage was a black and silver drum set, a black and pink pinstripe custom made synthesizer, and a microphone stand in the middle of the stage and one to the far side.

Fan screamed as the decoratively dressed band entered the stage. Ryn led the way dressed in a black, leather mini-skirt and a midriff purple top with her hair spiked and twisted, violet sequins crowned her eyes. Koneko entered in a black and pink pinstripe suit, the pant legs cut up the front to the waistband and pinned randomly with safety pins. A safety pin also held her top closed where a hot pink bra showed through, her hair was up in a frohawk that had been temporarily dyed pink to match. Her makeup was lighter and was mostly eyeliner stretched out to make her eyelashes seem huge. Gohan, who was going to be in the back playing a little bass here and there, was wearing his leather pants and matching vest with his tips dyed red and the sunglasses R3 was famous for on the bridge of his nose. Trunks was in a similar dress, leather pants and a black long sleeve see through shirt, tips of his hair dyed black and his own R3 shades. Goten, too, wore the males fashion, leather pants and no shirt showing off his ripped six pack, the famous black backwards hat and glasses. Elise wore simply a pair of leather shorts and a red halter top that was only about three inches in width, her hair brushed over to one side and her make up modest but dark in red and bright lipstick. Lynk wore her favorite black leather pants that clung tightly to her form, and a top that was like a halter that latched together in the front showing large portions of her body and cleavage and the form of a black bra under the blue silk. Her hair was in a ponytail with her bangs pinned to the sides with bobby pins. Her own make up was heavy in black and blue eyeliner as well as blue lip stick.

They set up where they were told and the director called action. The fans cheered and band began: the slight sound of wind chimes and koneko picking up on the synth …Lynk chiming in silkily , "

Senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki…hageshiku modaeru honnou."

Goten hammered on the drums as everyone else played into the beat of dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt "Beast of Blood." And the band began ripping into the beat again before Trunks played a short solo continuing the familiar beat, a short drum roll and Lynk was singing moving her body, vision, and arms to contemplate the song as well as to please the fans.

Place of silence moving shadows

Crimson eyes are strangely gleaming in the darkness

Madness starting to awake

Playful desire starving of blood

Get down limitless night

(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

Beast Blood

(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

Beast Blood
(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

Beast Blood

(Trunks slid a pick over the string to make the sharp sound of nails on glass)

Along with the scream from the death throes

Sharp claws are shinning brighter

Dually obscene breath continues

And rips apart the silence of the night

Crossing the uplifty night

Get down limitless night

(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

Beast Blood
(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

Beast Blood
(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

Beast Blood
(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

Beast Blood…

(The band ripped into another dramatic move. Everyone was banging their heads to the beat smiling at their fans and moving into the music. Lynk had moved across the stage to the opposite side and the camera followed as Elise joined in on the chorus the two sang together as Ryn played nearby.)

Kokyuu ni karamau chi no kaori ga koukostu no yoru ni tadayou
Senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki…hageshiku modaeru honnou
(Koneko began a solo on the synth as Lynk voice was dramatic but soft)
Kokyuu ni chi no kaori ga koukotsu no yoru ni tadayou
Beat Blood…(Elise whispered into the microphone)

(Koneko's synth solo continued on a for more moments where she was caught by the camera looking aloof and distant, but dangerous. Then Goten hammered on his drum set and the next verse was brought on.)

(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt) Beast of Blood…( and the music rolled on)

No fear, no sadness
Lofty life is tasting loneliness and eternity
And near by the target with no more life
Red drops on my greedy lips
Falls down on the freezing ground
Get down limitless night

(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

Beast Blood

(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt

Beast Blood

(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt

Beat blood…

(The music hammered on as Lynk moved back towards the first half the stage in front of Goten and between Trunks and Gohan and she said staring straight into the camera)

Spills blood on me 'til it fills my body

(and the chorus was hammered out once more)

Kokyuu ni karamaru chi no kaori ga koukotsu no yoru ni tadayou
Senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki…hageshiku modaeru honnou
tsumetai karada ni hotobashiru yokubou o akai chi de uruosu
Kairaku no sakebi hibiku yoru ni…surudoku myaku utsu honnou

(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt(Dunt dunt dunt dunna dunt dunt dunt)

(the music softly played and lynk finished the lyrics)

Kokyuu ni karamaru chi no kaori ga koukotsu no yoru ni tadayou

Senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki…hageshiku modaeru honnou

(the very end was a whisper by all as Kone finished with a small piano ending)

Beast Blood

All the fans cheered at the ending of the video and small performance that they got to witness as the return of Blood 'n' Wine. There were many reporters there as well, which they were unfortunate enough to find out. "Well, we'll have to deal with them sometime." Gohan said with a sigh. Everyone nodded.
