Indo: I couldn't help it! I just had to! I've been listening to a lot of music lately and I just found the song Higher Power by Boston, and I got this in my head! I hope you like it. Oh, and I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or the songs Higher Power by Boston or Grand Illusion by Styx.

Ryou looked to his friends, hoping that they didn't notice the dark rings under his eyes. He'd been working way too hard. He smiled as Yuugi started babbling on about the newest band 'Dangerous Cats' and their concert that was that night. Yuugi and the gang wanted to get tickets, but for the teens, they were a little pricey. Ryou twitched his white tiger tail, grinning as his saw Yuugi's Aidi tail wag in excitement.
Ryou pulled an envelope from his pocket and held it out. "Hey, guys, this is for you." Yuugi took the envelope and opened it with a gasp.
"How? How did you acquire front row, backstage passes to 'Dangerous Cats'?" Yuugi questioned.
Ryou smirked. "I have my ways." Ryou watched in fascination as Katsuya's Golden Retriever tail wag as his saw Yuugi pull out 12 tickets, all with each of his friends' names on them.
Yuugi's eyes turned sad as he looked up, his tail drooping. "You're not going?"
Ryou chuckled. "Yea I'm going, I just didn't put my ticket in there!" Little do they know that this concert is going to be one hell of a surprise for them. "Hey guys, I got to get some where. I'll see ya guys tonight at the concert!" Ryou waved good-bye and left.
-3 hours later-
"Yes, we'll be set up by 8. Yes. Yes. No. No, Panther will be meeting us there. She has a few errands to run. Yes. Yes. Mmmmhmmmm. Bye." Ryou closed his black flip phone, sighing. Looking up, he pulled off his black sunglasses as he walked up to the stage that he was to be on in just 1 hour.
Walking to the back, Ryou walked to his changing room and glanced around to see if the other people he was to meet there were there yet. Ryou saw a young man with long black hair that he left down, twirling a pair of drumsticks. The man was wearing a pair of black leather pants and had a collar around his neck. On his chest was a tattoo of a puma and behind him swished a puma tail.
Shaking his head, Ryou turned to his door and opened it calling, "Hey Alex!" before walking into the room. Once inside, Ryou set to the task of getting ready.
-1 hour later, the start of the concert-
Yuugi and the gang were anxious about the start of the concert, but Ryou was still not there. The group looked to the stage as a man walked out. "Ladies and gentlemen. I'm pleased to introduce the DANGEROUS CATS!" The man ran off stage as the lights dimmed.
The guitar started to play. No one could see the group before them, but they knew it was 4 people, one on drums, one on bass, one on guitar, and one at the center microphone. Soon the song shifted and the guitar let out a long note. The man standing at the mic lifted his head up quickly, just as the light flashed on and Ryou let out the first notes.
Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star
More guitar was played and Ryou sung more, swaying his leather-clad hips and swishing his white tiger tail. Close to him was a woman, the lead guitarist, that looked a lot like him, outfit and all except she had a panther tail.
But don't be fooled by the radio
The TV or the magazines
They show you photographs of how your life should be
But they're just someone else's fantasy
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...
So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because your neighbors got it made
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...
America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition
Get yourself a brand new motor car
Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on Earth's this spell we're under
We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are
Ryou smiled. And hollered something to his band mates, all smirking and started a new beat.
Let me love you
Take me home to your religion for the night
Let me touch you
Teach me how to see your vision through my eyes
Turn the pages
Tell my story, let me face another day
Safe embraces, I feel it comin' now
My captain's on his way.
Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.
Yeah
Let me hold you
Take me back into the secrets of my mind
Let me know you
Come and save me Lord
Don't let me cross the line
Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.
Ooh, let me love you
Ooh, let me love you
Hey, my Higher Power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yea, my Higher Power
It's the beginning of another day.
Hey, my Higher Power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, my Higher Power
It's the beginnin' of another day.
Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.
Hey, my high power
The world is spinnin', but I'm not afraid
Yeah, give me the power It's the beginnin', the beginnin' of another day.
Yea, yea, yea.
Ryou smirked and after singing a few more songs, switching off with the guitarist and a couple times playing the piano, Ryou and the band left for the back stage which the group quickly dashed for. Once they opened the door to Ryou's dressing room, they were full of questions. "Why didn't you tell us?" "How long were you going to keep this from us?" "Why is she in here?" Katsuya had asked the last question and that was when everyone else noticed the guitarist sitting in the room on a stool, polishing her guitar.
Ryou smirked yet again that day and said proudly, "This is my fiancée. Indo, this is my group of friends. Guys, this is Indo. Ryou smirked. Katsuya feinted. "Good Ra, I love my job." Ryou stated.
